Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-07-09

The Prospect-Day II Breaking.
After night of Stantonian darkness,
the glorious light of truth is again re-
minding us of the approaching day. The
gallant Democracy of Ohio are pushing the
enemy to the wall upon every issue, and
thousands of honest Republicans are es-
pousing the white mans cause of 1867 with
the same zeal the fathers espoused this same
noble cause in 1776.
The horde of bounding Demagogues that
have no arguments but epithets are baying
in the distance, like whipped ours after the
faithful shepherd has secured the focks in
we'll secured folds. ~ ' 81
The signs of the times are unmistakable.
Cheering news comes up from every quar-
ter of the State. Daily, and almost hourly
we are adding to our list the names of men
whose prejudices would not permit them
to ever look at a Democratic journal, who
are now with us and are cordially laboriDg
for victory. The Democratic press of the
State is infused with new life. Subscrip-
exchanges come to us bearing the unnis-
taxable marks of Improvement and a
largely increased patronage. We con-
gratulate the sterling press of Ohio upon
these pleasing results:
We too have struggled through the
storm, but can report 'day is breaking
To the Democratic masses we have moth
ing to offer except to exhort them to Wig
ilance and renewed efforts. Continue the
effort that Is being made to place Democrat
ic journals in the hands of honest Radicals
and the work will gather strength as 1t
goes on, and give US still larger gain and
more complete victory.
Let no patriot hesitate to answer the vile
ISLANDERS of traducers, whose swollen
tongues will ere long impede their filthy
speech. Liberty is the goal. "The Con-
stitution of the Fathers" the watchword.
To prosecute and convict the thieves,
and Danish the demagogues from all pow
er, is the mission of the Democracy.
The Anniversary of our Independence
has just passed. Whilst many were hope
full upon that memorable day, there were
many others whose spirits were burthened
with.the reflection that the old Democratic
party might again be defeated. But with
proper effort, zoe aoiH succeed, and the next
Anniversary of our Independence will be
hailed with the glad tidings of birth, a
death and resurrection. From the East to
the West, and from the North to the South,
the welkin will ring with gladness, an
nouncing the return of those traternal
feelings which are ever after to render US
the children of one GOD and one people.
The black flag of Radicalism will disap-
pear. and the Stars and Stripes of the Union
of other days will again float in the breeze.
Then forward, Democrats. Let not day
be lost. Victory is liberty, property, life
and honor. Defeat is Radicalism, taxa
tion, military commissions and humilia-
ton. rH...r-
Our chastisement has been severe. The
country presents indications of future an
imosities. There is an alienation and
bitterness that foreshadows resentment
and revenge such as will cause the bloody
contest of factions. But by faith in the
living, Supreme Being, and a return to the
sound principles of the Fathers of the Re-
public, all these will disappear like clouds
before the breeze.
