1t Won't Work.

The New York Citizen has an
article mogniiying tho indications
OF tho probable nomination by tho
"Radicals' Of Chief Justice Chase
Tor tho Presidency, The "wish" of
the cttIEen is "fathcr to the
thought" That paper wants a
candidate for the Union party who
can be beaten. 1t would gladly
disgust the Union party with Gen.
Grant. and Gen. Grant with the
Union party. Miles o'Roilly
might as well cease harping on that
dodge. It won't work. .7 +

The Paris Fashions correspon-
dent ofthe London Morning Post
writes II have endeavored TO find
out what coIored hair and eyebrows
will be worn this year. The ar
lists in hair have met and agreed
that dark eyebrows are to accom-
pany golden tresses, and golden
eyebrows black hair. Brown or
chestnut locks and curls are not to
be tolerated. 1t is not quite set
tied if the ehignon is to be main
taiued it is believed not. if a more
expensive and complicated deco
ration can be invented. The COM
plexion is to be dead pearl pale, the
lips very light pink, and the mouth
to be worn slightly open.

Not much of a shower after All.
The lesult in Ohio is not the un.

The result in Ohio is not the un-
mitigated disaster it seemed to be
at the time of our going to press
last week. The Republicans elect
the Governor and State ticket by
inajorities not far from 5000, while
they lose the Legislature by prob.
ably 3 in the Senate and Z in the
House. This would seem to insure
the election of Vallandigham to
the u s. Senate; but there is a
probability of very pretty little
squabbIe among several aspirants
to that position, and in the melee
the Great COppcrhead may bite the
dust, politically, The least likeli-
hood OF his success is unpleasant
to think of-but the certainty of
Ben. Wade being left out is in itself
no cause for grief.
Pennsylvania has done better
than Ohio. The majority for
Sharsw cd, democratic candidate
for Judge is probably less than 1000
in the State, and the Legislature
stands according to the latest re-
ports: Senate--20 Republicans, l3
Democrats; House-54 Republi-
cans, 45 Democrats. The Key
stone will go Republican by not
less than 10000 majority at the
Presidential election.
ln Indiana the Republicans full.
" hold their own, which is an i'm
mcnsc popular majority in The
State.
In Iowa the coppcrhcad gains ap.
pear to be confined to a very small
territory The State has gone Re-
publican by about 10000 majority.
1t will strain the copperheads TO
attempt to draw mach comfort
from that result.
An article from the Chicago
Tribune, printed on our first page,
on the late elections, is worthy Of
study by Republicans disposed to
be disheartened, 1--WE have not met
with any such), as well as by Dem
ocrats too much lifted up by their
slight successes.

Hon. Thaddeus Stevens on I'M
parchment and Impair
tial Suffrage.
WAsnlNoroN, Oct. 14.

Letters haYe been received from
Thaddeus Stevens, in which he de.
clarcs his intention to urge upon
Congress as soon as it meets in No.
vember, two great measures essen
tial to the safety of the country.
The first is general impeachment
law, defining offenscs upon which
an officer may be impeached, and
expressly declaring that no officer
shall continue TO exercise the pow
er of his Office during his trial. The
second law which Mr.. Stevens in
tends to urge will provide that, un.
der authority of the Constitution,
and upon the principles of the De
claration Of Independence, no State
shall have power to prohibit citi,
zens of the United States. what
ever their race, color or religion,
from voting for President or Con-
gressmen, This law will establish
impartial suffrage throughout the
Union. Leading Republicans af.
firm that Mr.. Stevens will be sus-
tained by Congress.

Aspect of Political Affairs ut
WnShinwfnn

The Tribuues special says: The
Republicans hero expect that the
Cabinet will be harmonized in SUP
port OF, the threatened Presidential
coup detdt,and they seriously think
that tho aspect of ailairs is fraught
with graved danger, They fear that
Congress may convene in a bold
and defiant spirit, and adhere to
tho declared policy Of tho extreme
men, viz; impeachment and sus.
pension of tho President curing
the trial; and since tho elections,
moro than ever, they believe Mr..
johnson will resist, and attempt
with force, if necessary, to main.
tain his constitutional right to hold
the otlico until judgment after trial.
Others argue that tho effect of tho
elections has been to settle these
grave questions, and that impeaoh.
menr will find fewer advocates at
tho next session than were counted
at tho last.

"Pluck"---And-sO-FOrth.

When tho Columbus Journ1
talks about the Republican party go.
ing "sheepishIy into the Judiciou8'
business" on being defeated, 'sc
lecting candidates about whom
nothing Objectionable" can be said,,
until even our strongest and best
men arc rejected, and sneers at the
idea OF regarding dUailabttiiy rs an
important consideration in the So
lection OF candidates for Office, il
seems to US to make tho mistake
Of supposing that ultra radicalism
constitutes the representative Gle,
ment of the Union organization.
The journal makes an energetic
slap at certain classes Of politicians
which it graphically describes,
which with "others whose motives
arc undoubtedly of tho best, have
seized upon the half defeat of the
Union party as prctcxt for rush.
ing into an Endorsement and nomi.
nation Of General Grant for the
Presidency"
For our part, wo know of no
such endorsement" and "nomina
ton, except by such as Tor two
years at least have been convinced
that Grant was the man Tor the
approaching crisis in national af
fairs, as much as Lincoln was for
that Of 1861,
But the Journal says, "Now, we
have no objection that we know Of
to General Grant as q candidate FOR
President" Then why follow that
Immediately with such
a saving clause as this; If he places
himself squarcly on the Union
platform and is nominated by the
Union party, we shall support him
with tho utmost cordality."
Well-in our opinion, mind you
there is no Union platform if
General Grant is not on it. And
with equal confidence we believe
we might express tho opinion that
in the hearts Of tho vast majority
Of the great Union party no is al.
ready nominated, Iftho prospects
of any ones favori.e candidate
seem fading and diminishing, IL is
because tho People, of their own
supreme pleasure, and on their own
sufficient reasoning are turning :
.beir iavorjng consideration in n
iIiierent dircction-and the People
're tho makers Of Presidents in
his country.
We fear the Journal is an admlrer

CAUSES OF OUR PARTIAL
DEFEAT.

Our late contest with the enc
mics of national liberty, led by
Yallandigham, aud tho enemies ol
the national credit, led by Pendlc-
ton, has ended, at least, in but Il
drawn battle. We have lost the
Legislature, lost our late comman,
ding majority, lost the Amendment.
Can it be that Ohio, the mother Of
orators, and the mother OF heroes
-the greatest of the Republic
has gone back upon her record2
| What are the causes which led 10
this virtual defeat2
l. The cause, first in influence
and Importance, was the engratting
upon our ticket and our platform,
the principle of colored suffrage.
Rome was not built in day.
independence was not achieved in
a week. Emancipation was. not
the work of an hour. For cen
tury tho degrading; debauching,
poisoning, barbarizing influence OF
chattel slavery had been at work
As was the case with slaves in all
ages of the world, whether white,
red or black, we hated and despi-
sed the race that we enslaved. Tho
accumulated hatreds and preju-
dicos of II hundred years, we could
not remove, by argument, in a
hundred days. Virginians, Ken
ttckians, Irishmen and Germans
settled among us, could not be per-
suadcd to let this people go free
Then we had our own arguments
to answer. Republican orators for
years had made themselves hoarse
with asserting and insisting that
they were opposed to negro suffrage.
They gavo reasons for the faith
that was then in them. The rea
son had their effect.
The Amendment came near bury
ing the ticket in its own grave, for
want of time to counteract all
these influences, by calm discus
sion.
2. The cry Of burdensome taxa
tion induced some to vote with the
party that proposed to ran the
Government, not on its revenue,
but on its promises to pay. The
only means hitherto known to civ
ilized nations of paying debts and
raising revenue, namely, by taxa
ton, was to be discarded, and the
whole thing was to be accomplish
ed by running a printing prese, by
lamp black, and by rags. The
whole national debt was to be print
ed, Jtack@d, and wiped out Of &c.
iSteace
The groenback dodge took. Ma.
ny mems political opinions are car
ried in their pantaloons. And
hehcc Democrats never appeal to
tho understanding, but direct to
the pocket. 1t was known that
impeachment would follow deci-
sivo Republican victory, as certain
as the day, tho night.
Colfax had SO declared before
the Capitol; and although tho de-
claration of Dennison that Tom
Jefferson was the founder of the
Republican party, did not commit
the party to the Kentucky Resolu-
tions of 0S, or 80 the doctrine of
secession, still tho declaration of
Speaker Coltnv, wns taken rs Off
cial evidence that the impending
impeachment would be prosecuted
to final judgment and convection.
All who had been troubled with
diseases of the spinal column, or
had been in the habit of seeing
ghosts, fearing that disturbances
might arise from deposing Johnson,
voted against the dominant party.
