The Democratic party has had its Catos,
and though during the war they were de-
sptsed and prosecuted; yet now that the
rush of battle is over, and men have come
to themselves, they loom out from. and
tower grandly above the mere things
that fattened upon human blood and grew
rich upon public plunder, panic and disas-
ter. The people OF Ohio owe a debt of
gratitude to a handful of her sons which
time wi only increase, as time willonly
make their services more manifesto debt
ofgratitude above tre pitifnl considerations
of Office and every post of honor. And in
this debt the sister States OF the West and
East-all the States of the Union, partici-
pate and are jointly bound, having received
the benefit of their distinguished services
performed with a religious regard for the

times, Judge P. Van Trump, of Fairfield,
sat upon the common Pleas bench and
passed upon some of the most grave and
responsible questions that appertain to the
liberty and safety of an American citizen.
The frowns of power and threats of inn
peachment could not intimidate him or
drive him from his-firm purpose to admin
lister the law as he,was 1ound by his oath
of office. Proudly and sternly he, gazed
. upon the mob, and looked to God and JUS
ntice for his support in the ordeal through
which he was called to. pass. Time and
sober reflection have approved his course,
and now that the rancor of party has sub
sided, he stands ccnfessedly among the
. ableSt of OhiO's ststesmen and jurists. As
the present representative of the 18th Con-
gressional District of Ohio, he has now the
good opinion ofall men who regard the old
order of things, and who are not willing to
sell their freedom, and sink their manhood
to the level of the wild untamed tribes of
9 Africa. We therefore nominate Philadelph
Van Trump, of Ohio, as our choice for the
next Presidency, and if the West is to re-
store the dignity of this high office, we
know of no man more likely to effect a
