The Rise In Gold,

The Washington Ecening Star
has some sensible comments
upon the causes inducing the
present rise in gold. 1t says:
But the chief cause is un-
doubtedly, the revolutionary
attitude lately assumed by the
President. The business men
of the country interpret his
purpose to put the nations
public affairs as far as possible
into the hands Of the rebels at
the south, and at heart at the
north; Of men bent on re-es.
tabliShing the principles of the
rebellion in the control of
American government affairs.
They know this purpose OF Mr..
johnson must weaken conf
dence in our governmental Sc
curities at home and abroad,
and greatly fear the develop
ment Of other extravagant and
damaging vagaries on his part
ere congress meets. His each
succeeding act, designated to
nulli(y the reconstruction laws,
whether a removal, proclama-
ton or threatened purpose, has
been promptly by a rise in
gold.

HcARTIIUR, OHIO:
THURSDAY. OCT. 10. 1867.
THE RESULT.

The result of Ohlo's ele ction,
sontrary TO the expectations OF
almost every one, has sadden-
ed the heart Of every Union
man in the land. We willnot,
Rt this time, attempt to say
anything about the cause OF
our defeat. That there are
grave reasons for such aresult,
we will not deny. But at some
future time We will give our
opinions to our readers. AS
we 60 to press, there is not one
bright or redeeming feature to
lie found anywhere. We ac-
cept the situation, with feel
ings not akin to joy, and hope
that all will come out right in
The end. That ALLEN q. Thur
MAN (rrom the best information
We can get) is the next Cover,
nor, is beyond denial, however
much we may regret it, That
;he Legislature is also Demo,
cratic, we can find nothing to
confirm it otherwise. And so
it goes everywhere, Pennsyl.
Vania acts Democratic. Indi.
ana, the home of that glorious
patriot, 0. p. Morton, is put
ting on Democratic airs, too.
Iowa. to which we looked for a
little comfort, smells Demo
cratic. The air is full Of De,
mocracy, and so is the MAORI
~ in this county, and the worst
kind of Democracy at that.
We fought the issue fairly
and boldly. The principles in
volvcd in the campaign were
such that no man could call
dishonest or impure. We
fought and worked with a clear
conscience, ,aEd to-day we stand
fairly and Squarely upon these
principles. We feel a just pride
in saying what we do, knowing
that we contended for right
against wrong, and we feel bad
enough over the result. The
editors Of this paper fought
eight years and six months fer
the preservation of this Gov
ernment. We mention this
only as a duty we performed
with loyal and just motives; (;
but the election in Ohio gives
the lie to the first part of our
assertion. We know that we
were right, and yet the verdict
Of the people condemns our
action. For our country We
will still labor, right or wrong,
and We say to our Union
friends, be not discouraged
right will triumph-close up
your ranks, the battle is not yet
over. You must 60 into the
struggle again. Blow the in.
.pectiCn call, and let US find
out why We were defeated
Organize now for the next cam
paign. Soldiers, we have been
defeated often, but the God of
Battles gave us victory in the
end. Let us cement the ties
OF loyalty anew, and fight the
battle over. A just God will
give us victory. Right will
triumph over wrong.

ST. SWetland,

A certain individual who
goes by the above appellation,
stepped himself and half a doz-
en- comrades in bad whisky,
and went about the streets on
election day proclaiming what
they was going to do with the
editors Of the RECORD and the
RECORD office. We have heard
of barking dogs before. We
keep an open Office. Mr.. S.
and his friends can find us at
home attending to our own
business at any time they see
fit 10 try the "cleaning" opera
ton.
We are responsible for the
publication of the article about
Mr.. SwETLAND's brother, j. G.
SwETLAND, in which we related
that he said he "was a rebel,
is still rebel, and it would do
his soul good TO cut a soldiers
throat !" We denounced him
for it, and shall continue TO do
so-and every man that sym.
pathizes with him. They are
not fit to live in a free Govern.
ment.

WYNN 'dS llNEil dllu lulclllcll
number. The editors, Messrs.
Raper & Robinson, know how
TO set up good paper, in ev-
cry particular, and if the Re-
publicans of Vinton county do
not give them a good support,
they will not deserve TO have
the advantages of an able or.
gan.-POrtsmouM Republican.
We are obliged to you, neigh,
Dor. We always give them
the best we've got, and we are
pleased to inform you that our
efforts are appreciated. We
have few old fogies in the
party who hang back in the
breeching because two or three
papers that have been started
here by politicians have went
down as soon as the object for
which they were started was
accomplished, Some of them
have lost fifty cents, some a
dollar, some as much as two
dollars, and they now say they
want to see whether the Rec
ORD is going to live or not be-
fore they will give it their sup
port. We often wonder if they
can see it with the same eyes
that we do-that they will try
their best to kill us, and if they
fail they will then pat US on
the shoulder and tell us we are
game boys for living. Then
there are Others who actually
tell us the Cincinnati GAZETTE
is larger than the RECORD!
But again we have good
friends, active, earnest, live
men, who have worked for us
like heroes, To them we are
duly thankful. Nor can we
blame those much who hang
back. We have had the his
tory Of Vinton County papers
ding.dong ged into our ears un-
til we are rfectly familiar
with it; and we know too that
certain parties have made it
their business to go about the
county circulating the report
that M. BRATToN had merely
rented us the office; and an.
other that certain politicians
had bought the office and loan
ed it to us. Both of these re.
ports are without the shadow
OF 4 foundation. The office
belongs to RAPER e. ROBINSON,
and any person having a Gu
riosity to see the papers on
which we hold it are welcome
to call at the Office and exam
Inc them. We come among
you to stay, and to publish a
sound Union paper. 1t pays
US, and we mean to stay right
here.
Printing is our business, and
we think it will pay us in Nc.
Arthur as well as any place in
South Eastern Ohio.
. Now, we wish 10 say TO our
friends do nctrelax your efforts
because the campaign is over.
