mands of this crisis.
| Gen. Hayes Radical Governor elect, of Ohio
| Speech on 10th inst.
| One word as to the Issues. The Union
party have been in favor of maintaining
inviolate the faith of the nation They
will continue TO stand on that plank TO The
end. Cheers. They believe that the
national credit was an important part o.
the national power, in its last struggle and
the good name of the nation, is, under all
circumstances to be maintained. Again
it is probable, from the complexion of the
Legislature, that three-filth vote cannot
be obtained to submit again the colored
suffrage issue for many years to come, and
therefore cannot be in any canvass before
the people for a long time. In the mean
time we shall have the experience of other
States in this matter. But on this you may
rely that the Union Republican party will
be in the future as it has been in the past
the party of progress the party in favor
of human freedom; the party in favor
of equal human rights; the party in favor
of giving to ali the governed an equal voice
| in the government, and although il ia de.
feated this year, we remember that in 1862,
in the very pinch of the war, we were
beaten i'll Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other
States, by majorities far larger than any
given against us this year. And we re-
member also that in 1868 our maiorities
were without parallel in the political his
tory of this country. Whathappened then
l am sure is to happen now, and next year,
the great year of the Presidential election,
will see us again united with 5000 majority
in Hamilton county and $4,000 in the State
of Ohio. Great cheers, during which the
| General retired.
Mr.. Eggleston's Congressman from0hio. } Speech
on the 10th inst
l certainly don't feel much like talking
tonight. l am quite certain that we have
much to rejoice over. But yet, if we had
lost Gen. Hayes, our candidate for Gov,
ernor, we should have felt much worse
than we do. | look upon it as being not
only important to that gentleman, COLI
sidering the position he occupied before,
but it is important to the great State of
Ohio to have Chief Magistrate of such
character, that if we have more trouble,
East or South, when he calls upon the
people TO respond, that the soldiers who
followed him In the field of battle willfollow
him again, when duty calls.
Next year, my Republican friends, one
year from the present time, you will have
before you as the chief standard bearer of
our party, man who you can all vote for !;
we will have General Grant as the candi-
date for President. Cheers And when
we present to you a soldier who has done
the fighting, the thinking and the planning
that Gen. Grant has done, know that the
Republican party will come up, as one
man, and vote for him.
From the National Intelligencer, Oct. O.
The returns Of the election from two
great States we publish this day more than
veryify the strong hope and confidence ex-
pressed by the Intelllgencer yesterday, that
the setting of lite sun would witness glorious
results that would presage the death
struggle of wild fanatics and corrupt mer~
cenaries in every considerable State of the
Union within the coming year. We con-
fess that, notwithstanding the great vic
tories of the people against the usurpations
and corruptions of Congress up to the pre-
sent moment in the ever-memorable year
1867, we had not fully appreciated the
stern and solemn resolve of patriotic and
intelligent people to withstand under cir
cumstances of darkness, storm, and gloom,
the Congressional oligarchy and its ramif-
cations in diabolism, State and national.
1t is TO the eternal honor of the people of
the United States Of America that they,
without an organization, without a head or
subordinate chiefs, without money, without
political tracts, without, as a general thing,
an able press, without, in many cases,
good leaders or speakers or an active can
yass, and, TOO frequently, without the pre-.
sentation of the best issues, have fought
bravely up to the grand victories over the
foes of the constitution and the Union
victories against allied class monopolists
and the shoddy money power, and vast
standing army of ofhce-holders, State and
national.
From the n. Y. Tribune. RADICAL Oct. 10th.
There are still some persons in the Re-
publican camp whose hearts are with the
adverse host, and who, we trust, will now
be tempted TO let their bodies follow. At
all events, through whatever trials of its
constancy, its consistency, the great party
of which they would fain bear the bag SO
long as there may be anything likely TO
60 into it, will move right on to the ar
duous but inevitable achievements of equal
rights for all citizens; and those who are
not ready to suffer in that cause cannot
leave its ranks too soon. "Soldiers p said
Garribaldi to the forlorn hope of Ital-
ian liberty in I849, 81 offer you pri-
walton, hardship, hunger, wounds, death
will you follow meV Such is the spirit
in which humanity and Justice claim their
votaries such are the appeals, such the
crises, which separate the gold from the
dross When the Republican party has
no further prejudices to vanquish, no fur
Their wrongs to redress, we hope it may die
and be buried not linger on, maintaining
a mockery of existence on the good ideas
of the past, the bad whisky of the present,
like the sham Democracy. Whenever all
its better aspirations shall have been ae
tualized, its dissolution cannot and should
not be long postponed.
From the n Y. Times, Republican,) Oct. 10th.
The leadership of the Republican party
has grown arrogant and reckless. In the
adoption of measures and the treatment of
men it has been alike incorporate and re-
lentless. The most extreme theories of the
widest and most impracticable theorizers
have been forced upon the party as the
basis of its creed and the oldest, strongest
and most devoted and efficient men of the
party have been spurned and traduced, with
reckless violence, if they failed or faltered
in giving their assent
The truth is, the Republican party grew
too strong TO be wise. 1t had so much
faith in its position that it lost all prudence
in defending it. 1t gained so much popu-
lar strength from the result of the war, that
it felt itself invincible, and became pre-
sumptuous. All questions of policy were
treated with contempt. Its leaders felt
that any ticket they might nominate was
sure of success, no matter what might be
the character of the men, or the nature Of
the measures to which they were pledged
The first result Of such a course is to make
the party which adopts it corrupt-and the
next is to make it weak.
The Republican party is admonished By
the State elections that have just occurred,
that they must reform their action in these
respects. The people viii not sanction the
extreme courses which have been marked
out for them. They have too much at stake
in the peace, order and prosperity OF the
country to put them all at hazard, for the
