THE PREsIDENCY.-The late defeat of
the Radicals in Ohio has struck aarespon-
sive chord in the American heart. The reign
of terrorism is over. The formidable front
of Republicanismi is broken, and the beaten
cohorts of that party are in ignominious
retreat and confusion, beyond the, power
OF any trumpet, drum, fife or warlike in
strument, to recall to order and organized
resistance. Patriotism divorced from par
ty has struck hands with HOPE, and the
people again begin to breathe freely ,and the
great heart of the N alton begins to pulsate-
with something of its original healty force
and action. Petty tyrants, long fed and
clothed at the public expense. for some
supposed service to the State, sink back to
their original nothingness. and, like evil
spirits, absolutely vanish out of sight. A
citizeng of Ohio is ,to-day altogeth-
er safe In his person and his property. and
can lie down to sleep with the conscious
ness that his chamber will not be invaded
at the dictation of q military satrap. or a
self constituted spy. The trial by iury is
restored and banishmeut exists only in his
/ tory. But for the Democratic party and
| the glorious spirits who headed il during
the dark periods of the late war, the last
vestige of constitute ionsl liberty would have
| been swept away, leaving to our children
! the sad heritage of discordant States, be.
lligerent factions aspiring chieftains, ruined
cities suspended commerce, rivers running
'red with blood and countless. cemeteries Of

/ THE PREsIDENCY.-Many of the papers
of both political parties are now engaged
in discussing the merits of proposed can
llidates for the Presidency in 1868. The
Democrats are seeking for the man best
qualified to fill the office, while the Radi-
Gals are hunting the mos. available man.
The Democrats seem to be confident of sue
cess but the Radicals act as though it
would take great strategy to save them.
The hero of the Appomatox apple tree,
as the Commercial calls General Grant, is ex-
periencing a new rival in the person of
General Phil. Sheridan, who is presented
by the fanatical New England States.
Since the result of the Ohio election was
known, the Commercial has brought out as
it's candidate Judge Salmon p. Chase who
it claims as one of the most conservative
men in, the Union. Think kot it: Salmon P.
Chase conservative candidate tor President!

Ohio election had great effect to take Radi-

man that you may place on your ticket.

sasTHE UNITED STATES SENAroRsHIP.-We
should have preferred that the selection OF
u. S. Senator had not attained, thus soon,
dimensions. But, as it is ques-
tion TO be determined by the Legislature
elect, the Importance of the choice has in
dnced an early activity. and the canvass
tor several of the gentlemen named has
Fafready become somewhat active, at. least
through the Journals of the State.
1--WE trust the Democratic members elect
will not be swayed in their duty by any in
fiuence of doubtful import. We learn that
certain influences in other States are par
ticularly busy in medoling in our business.
The Democracyare abundantly able to set
tie their own State affairs, and they have
undoubtedly elected to our General AS
sembly capable and honest men, who will
judiciously and properly dispose of the
successorship to Ben. Wade's place in the
Senate - ~ ..,..5
The Democratic members of the Assem-
bly, will doubtless consult the wishes OF
their constituents and act accordingly.
Wereioice to see that the gentlemen named
iirT connection with the place are capa-
BILE and worthy There is no doubt that
among the talented gentlemen named, G..
1Vallandigham is the cordial choice of
the people. With due and high regard to
the other gentleman, they look upon Mr..
Yallandigham as the man, of all others, to
succeed Ben., Wade. They have not for
gotten those endearing terms, Vallandig-
ham and liberty" That name, too, is asso-
ciated in our hearts with s.I1iberty and
| fUnionn-.sthe Constitution as it is, and the
Union as it was" His high and noble
bearing during the days that tried Demo-
cratic souls, and his especially, enshrined
ValIandigham in the Democratic heart.
We hope to see Val. elevated to that posi-
ton where his great ability and sagacity,
his sound craftsmanship, constant pru-
dence and vigilance will influence the leg
| islation of his country, and promote the
success of Democratic principles.

The NEXT SENATOR.-The general ex-
preston among the Democracy and with
the press of Ohio, is that Thurman is the
proper person TO take the place of Ben.
Wade in the u. S.. Senate. Our choice
would be Pendleton, but the presumption
is that his will be a higher Office, hence we
are for Thurman. The Democracy of Ohio
have splendid array of men of ability
who are competent to fill the position. We
can name Ranney, Jewett. Vallandigham,
McCook, Morgan, Pugh, and host Of 9TH

Ohio in the Senate Chamber.-F Fremont

be an honor to- the Democratic party and
to the State of Ohio.E AS the Senators from
this district, and the Representative from
this county, were elected without any
pledges being asked or given on the SUBJ
ject of the u. S. SenatOrship, we are en-
tirely willing they should take their seats
free and untrammeled to act as they deem
best for the good of the Democratic party
and tor the welfare of the country, having
entire confidence in their honesty, patriot
ism and sound Democracy.

UNITED STATES SENAToR.--Being absent
from our post for the last two weeks, we
find on our return, that a large majority of
our Democratic exchanges, 80 far as they
have expressed an opinion on the subject,
are in favor of Judge Thurman, as the sue
|cessor of Ben. Wade. While the Judge
has our decided preference, we have no
fear to leave the matter with the able body
Of men upon whom the selection devolves,
confident that they will not elect man
who will not be acceptable to the Democ-

An intelligent London correspond
ent of the New York Herald, writing
on the 9th of March, says:
I am inclined to think if we get
things settled in America, and ar
range our differences with England
before the end of this year, that the
next European mania for specula-
ton may turn toward the United
States, very likely to the purchase
of Southern lands and grand plans
of emigration. In another year
something must be done with the
vast accumulation of money now lying
idle here and on the continent. The
United States is in high favor. If we
have no serious mishap, this will in
crease. The lavish expenditures of
Americans in Paris and elsewhere,
backed as it is in most cases by un-
questioned and rapidly acquire i
wealth, is making serious impress
sion upon Europeans.

RUSSIAN TREATMENT OF THE POLES.
Russia is greatly admired by some
people in the United States, but this
admiration can scarcely be caused by
The treatment of the Poles by their
Enssian conquerors. A recent official
return states that, since 1868, no less
than Is, 682 inhabitants of the Polish
provinces of Russia, including 164
women, have been banishod to Sibe-
ria; 33, 790 to the steppes of the Ural; !;
and 1856, including 2l9 women, to
the interior of Russia. Besides these.
2,416 Poles have been sent to the
penal regiments, and 1,46S hanged
and shot for political offences.

BRICK PoMERoY TO THE FREEDMEN.
"Brick" Pomeroy happening to be
present at mass meeting of the
colored people of Macon, Georgia,
addressed them as follows:
My friends-I call you friends,
though I am from Northern coun-
try, many miles from here. I know
none of you, and never expect to
see any of you again. I rise before
you simply as n plain man, wishing
equal and exact justice to all. I
shall speak in plain language and
shall use no big words. I have come
from my Northern homo to see for
myself the condition Of the black
man and the condition Of the white
man. You have to work now; you
have been given the privilege of
citizenship, but you have to work
now. You commenced your ele-
vation from mighty low down
point; you have to make friends Of
somebody; your best friends are
those who do the most for you, and
who charge the least for it-those
who urge to honesty, industry md
frugality. You have much to do.
You have been brought up to labor
and ignorance; you have your school
houses to build, your homes to pro-
vide, your families to feed and clothe,
your children to raise, your parents
to protect and bury, and your "lit-
tie bitsy" children to raise. No.
stay in the country where you are
known; we don't want you in the
North; we have plenty of labor there.
There are hundreds there who care
nothing for you, only to make n
dollar or ten bits out of you. Why
the New England negroes have nc
more chance for Office from the
white people than I have of curling
my hair as yours is curled; your
friends are in the South, not in the
North.
Why where live, the ice on the
Mississippi is two feet thick-here
it is warm and genial; there the
peoples hearts are as cold rs the
climate; they get warm only when
they want your votes; but come up
there for aid and dprotection-I "can't
see it,"

Government statissics.
10 following valuable informa-

, The following valuable informa-
tion (says the Atlanta InteNigencer)
we find in the monthly report of
the Director of the Bureau of Statis-
tics, Treasury Department of the
Government at Washington, bearing
date the 10Th ult. It embraces o
statement of the exports of domestic
produce from the United States to
foreign ports. for the years 1860 to
1866, both inclusive, to wit: In 1860,
1878, 189. 284; in 1861, 1928, 600, 1876;
in 1862, 213, ,O69, ,479; in 1868; 3O5,-
SS4, 998; in 1864, 800, ,O35, 1877; in 1865,
323, TAB, 1877; in 1866, $50, ,6S4, PIT.
From the foregoing, it will be seen
that during the progress of the late
war, the value of the exports from
the United States of domestic pro-
duce, to foreign ports, fell largely
short of the value exported in 1860.
This will not surprise any one, as the
South contributed but little during
the war, and that little, possibly,
only from New Orleans aud other
less important points, to the value of
exports. But what may surprise
some, is the fact that the value of
exports of 1866, should SO largely
exceed that of 1S6O-the former
being in excess of the latter $177, 494, :
993. Attribute this to what cause or
causes we may, there is one thing
certain-it evidences q wonderful
increase in the value of domestic
produce exported from the United
States since the year 1861 year of
peace, and when the South contri-
buted largely to swell the value of
those exports, if she did not contri-
butte i'll cotton, rice, and sugar, the
greater amount. In 1865, but very
little cotton or other productions
were grown in the South, and but
little, consequently, of the crops OF
that year could have been exported
in either chat or the following year.
1866. 1t is well known, too, that
disastrous failure attended > plant
ing of cotton in 1866, and y - we see
officially reported that the exports of
domestic produce for the latter ex-
ceeds that of 1861, by the enormous
amount above stated: In this we see
vast increase of the agricultural
productions of the United States
nay, a most wonderful one; one that
evidences an industry and prosperity
in the West and great North west
that bids fair to render it, if it be not
SO now, the greatest agricultural
country in the world When to
this shall be added the agricultural
productions of q reconstructed South,
who con doubt the ability of the
Government to pay its debts? If,
comparing 1860 and 1856, the value
of exports from the United States
of domestic produce has increased
so vastly, what may it not swell to
i'll the future, when to the industry
and enterprise of the people of the
South, there shall be no drawback,
but every encouragement given?
This is food for reflection, and the
statesmen of the American Republic
should give to it their earliest, most
profound, and patriotic attention.
