that he shall not yet become "a retiredt
veteran" They believe that the great in
terests of the Democratic party still re-
quire that he shall serve them longer and
that he mast serUe them in the United States
Senate. With us, they believe that tile
great Democratic party is now united, and
that the election of Judge Thurman to the
United States Senate lCiH Keep it so. We
know, too, that his election to that Office
would tend, more than anything else. to
retain in the Democratic ranks the thou
sands of new converts made during the
gallant campaign which has just closed;
and, were there 10 other motive for con-
ferring tie office upon him, that, of itself,
would be altogether sufficient. g.
We say this. because our success is not.
owing to the Radicals staying at home; for
they did not. stay at home. They vOted;
and the proof is found in the fact that the
aggregate vote is the largest ever given i'm
the State. Our" gains were in the
the converts made. aud we should not now
| pursue course that will drive them back
into the Radical ranks. Wemust keep the
| party united and consult the wishes of the
masses of the party, if we expect to sue
| ceed in another canvass. We mnSt act
wisely, ii we expect to succeed in the fu-
turc. --.-.- i-..f
We speak of this matter as we do of
every other thing pertaining to the welfare
| and success of the party, as every editor
ought to speak withuo' reserve;and we hope
that every Democratic editor in Onio will
do likewise. We believe that we express
the universal sentiment of the people OF
Southern Ohio, and have the hest of rea-
sons for saying that we utter the views OF
IA great majority of the De emOcracy of the
whole State. Judge Thurman has made
the late glorious and gallant canvass at a
great sacrifice of time aud money; let it
not be said that the Democracy OF Ohio
| are ungrateiul.

How TO CARRY ONO IN 1SeS.-The Re-
| publican, as we'll as the Democratic, vote OF
the State, exceeds that OF 1866. SO that the
loss of 10000 majority to the Republicans
was not, as they would have us believe,
caused by stay at-homPs. but by actual
changes of thousands of conservative Re
pubiicans to the Democratic ranks.
Now, let the Democratic; Legislature and
party leaders, so act as 10 retain this large
accession, and to obtain as many more fo'
| 1868.
We must have cool, solid sense-pass
good laws or none-reduce taxation and
salaries, and send Allen 6. Thurman to the
/ United States Senate. r..... .

subject, hereaboutS, expresses preference
for Judge Thurman. He is oGr choice, too
not that he, or any man, is entitled TO the
place, but because he Is emineuty qualified
to fill it with credit and usefulness. He is
a lawyer, a legislator and statesman. OF
all the men we know. he has the most
strong points of character and the fewest
weaknesses. His nomination should be
made unanimous, as it doubtless will be-

We think the press is altogether in toe

newspaper pressure OR dictation. There is
no use in contest or occasion for worry
! We are confident that whoever is selected
will be good man. '.8

| The Senatorial question is being dis
cdsSed, and begins to awaken considerable
interest. The Radicals appear to be Sc
riously troubled about it. and are expend
ing their breath unnecessarily. Hon. a
q. Thurman, Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton, Hon
c. l.. Vallandigham, Hon. Z. P. Ranney
and Hon. Ii. j. Jewett, are prominently
mentioned. We are content 10 leave thu
matter entirely with the Democratic ma
Ijori'y of the Legislature to determine
without outside pressIre, confident tina
they will act judiciously and wisely, ant
in their selection b. governed by wha
they deem the prevailing sentiment of tn,
Democratic masses, and the welfare of thu
party.
