Translated from the Westbote of Nov. 81
Our esteemed friend of the Cincinnati
VOlksfreund, in his issue OF yesterday, de-
clares himself unreservedly in favor of
Judge Thurman for United States Senator,
and hopes that this highly talented gentle
men. in every respect worthy OF that office,
will be elected by our Democratic Leglsla-
ture, on the 14th of January next, with
out long and vexatious caucuS-consulta-
tions. and thus the insinuous speculation
OF the Radicals frustrated. That is our
wish also, and the prospects OF seeing it
fulfilled are bright.
From the Clermont SUM-
JUDGE THURMAN.-We find very large
majority of our Democratic exchanges,
both in the State and out, are in favor 0t
nominating Allen G. Thurman, to fill the
Senate. Among the most enthusiastic sup
porters are l.. B. Leeds of the Brown
County Ne,cs, Colonel Pike OF the Hilsboro
Gazette, and the Allen County Democrat.
Judge Thurman accepted the nomina-
| tion for Governor at great personal sac
ritice and at time when no man in Ohio
| hoped Tor success; and he made campaign
so noble and gallant that our victory filled
| the great Democratic heart with Joy from
Maine to California.
There were thousands of Republicans in
Ohio who voted for Mr.. Thurman, (and who
acted nobly in so doing.) and it is now our
duty to retain their support; and we be-
lieve this can be done by sending him to
the Senate. II, through the influence of
negro votes, Mr.. Thurman is denied the
office of Governor, let us put him in the
place of B. f. Wade, where he will be an
honor to our noble State.
lFrom the Dayton Daily Ledger.l
TIE SENAToRsHIP.-During the political
contest Just closed the Radical organ OF
Dlyton nominated Vallandigham for Sem
ator in the event that the Democracy got
the Legislature. 1t charged home on the
Democratic candidates. Messrs. Belville,
Kemp and Kenny, that if elected they would
support Mr.V., and that consequently a vote
for these gentlemen was a vote for Mr.. v.
Lest the issue should not be well and dis
tinctly made, and for fear somebody would
forget it, the charges were running through
the Radical organ at the rate of about q
half dozen articles per day. The result OF
the issue was that our Legislative candi-
dates ran from It's to 224 ahead of the State
ticket in Montgomery county and now our
neighbor Is dreadfully alarmed lest the
Legislature should do what the people here
decided it should do. To help itself out of
a dilemma, the organ resorts to its usual
tricks Misrepresentation. The following
is fair specimen:
-, l.
the newspaper paragraphs in favor OF
Judge Thurman for the Senatorship. No
paper had been found to do the same good
turn for Vallandigham till the organ in
Dayton came to the rescue.''
The latter part of the above is untrue
The same number OF the STATESMAN i'm

man." contained likewise quite a number
of extracts quite as strongly supporting
Vallandigham for the Senatorship. The
editor had better put on his glasses.
From the Eaton Democrat. Oct. es.l
The UNITED STATES SENAToRsHIP-It
seems to us there is good deal of unneces-
lsary outside 'miXing in" as to who the De-
mocracy of Ohio should honor with this
position. If the gentlemen of the press
outside of 1.-The ring" will please attend tC
their own political affairs, we believe the
Democracy will settle this question AMIGA
bly, and satisfactorily to the parties con-
cerned. 1t is right and proper thai

and it is just that it should be paid. He
was "defeated" for Governor, if that
is any argument in his faver, at a
time, too, when the candidacy might have
went begging. No man has been more
shametully abused, by set of political
sharks and cowardly scoundrels, who
determined to destroy his hold upon
the masses, and for no other reason than
because he stood up manfully and battled
in defense of the Constitution and the lib
critics of the people, and we say, honor
him with the position so long disgraced
by the disunionist, Ben. Wade.
From the Chillicothe Advertiser. October 3Il
| The SENATORSHIP.-We notice that our
Democratic brethren of the press are work
ing themselves into fever over the U. S
Senatorship. One paper advocates the
claims of one gentleman, and another jour-
nal those of another gentleman, clear
through the catalogue of distinguished
Democrats. all of whom would honor the
position. Very quietly, but emphatically
we would whisper in the ear OF these
newspapers, that the Democratic party
does not belong to, and is not run in the
interest of any gentleman, no matter how
worthy. 1t is great, patriotic organiZa-
ton. intended to subserve the best interests
of the country and not the personal aims
of individual members. Many of its dis
tinguiShed men have done much for the
party, and the party have done an equally
good part by them. Therefore, the slate
is Cancelled, and the organization is free to
select men for its chief positions who will
conduce to its strength, its success in tu.
ture, and the general good of the country
We have gained a glorious result for our
labors but if victory is not achieved in the
election of next year. the victories OF this
Fall will be Sodom apples and will crumble
to ashes on our lips. We must use our vic
tories so as to attract and not repel the large
apathetic vote not cast in the various States
at the late elections, which is "watchine
and waiting" for events to mould its future
direction, and to bind still closer to US those
allies which assisted us in achieving the
grand results of the late elections.
| We have confidence in the Democratic
members of the Legislature, and believe
they have the Judgment to appreciate the
interests of the party and the country, and
are willing to leave the responsibility and
the qualification of the selection OF Uni
ted States Senator where in belongs, with
them.
