The trials Of our late stupendous civil war
have lifted the people of this country far above
the politicians. The results of the late cleo
tons, looking simply at the Offices involved
and the individuals chosen to dll them, amount
to little or nothing but in q moral and po-
litical view they turn over a new leaf and
open q new chapter in American history.
From Pennsylvania to Indiana, as by sort Of
spontaneous combustion, we see the same
general popular reaction against the excuses
OF radical fanaticism but in the returns from
Ohio, in which last years republican majority
of forty thousand disappears, we have splen-
did dissolving view Of Mr.. Chase and his board
Of radical engineers and their Presidential
programme Of universal negro suffrage and
Southern negro supremacy.
This verdict OF Ohio, with an emphasis which
cannot be misunderstood, rules Mr.. Chase and
his extreme radical negro doctrines and theo-
ries out Of the Presidential canvass Of 1868.
Forty thousand majority in the hitherto i'm
pregnable radical State Of Ohio-forty thou
sand, more or less, against ENGRAVING upon the
State constitution an amendment establishing
universal negro sufrage--is Northern protest
against this thing which demands nothing less
than change Of front by the masses Of the
republican party and q change Of leaders.
Messrs. Chase, Wade, Stevens, Sumner, Coltax,
Chandler and Company, like the managing
copperheads Of the democratic party, have
been weighed in the balances and found want

against the demoralizing and disorganizing
schemes and dogmas Of both these. factions
copperheads and radicals-rejected, each in
their turn, by the unfailing Judgment Of an in
telligent people The one hundred thousand
majority in Ohio against vallandigham, in the
midst of the war, Is hardly more emphatic
than forty thousand, or thirty thousand, or
whatever 1t may be, from the same people,
against Mr.. Chase and his congeners in the
midst of peace.
The voice of Ohio on this direct test Of uni
versal or unqualified negro suffrage is the voice
Of the North, and it is given as warning to all
concerned in the coming Presidential contest
What, then, are the sensible, practical men,
rank and file, Of the republican party called
upon to dot They are simply called upon to
reorganize and take o new departure, men and
measures, for the Presidential campaign. Uni
versal negro suffrage, rejected by Ohio in 1867
by thirty or forty thousand majority, must be
superseded by the constitutional amendment
endorsed by Ohio in 1866 by forty odd thou
sand majority. In 1852, on Henry Clay's great
compromise measures on the slavery question,
poor Pierce and the democracy against the
conqueror Of Mexico as the whig candidate,
carried the country, North and South, a. by
reclamation. But, departing in 1854 from the
instructions Of the people, and persisting in this
folly, the democracy, on the slavery issue, were
torn to pieces in 1860 among the clashing ele-
ments Of their Charleston convention. The
great body Of the republican party, in being
carried by their radical leaders to the oppo-
site extreme Of negro worship, are now
warned of the same danger, and in season to
avoid similar disaster. Their safety lies in
casting out these impracticable and implacable
radical leaders, in cutting loose from their
destructive schemes and fallacies, and in recog-
nizing and following the instructions Of the
people.
The republican convention Of Maryland, in
nominating General Grant as its Presidential
candidate, points out the way Of safety and
success. General Grant may be pronounced
the embodiment Of the genuine Union SEN
timent Of the country. Above oil the disturb

strength. On any other candidate, and with
any other platform than that embodied In the
name and patriotic record OF General Grant,
the conservatives Of the republican party run
