"Once More Unto the Brea ch,
Dear Friends, Once MOre."
The October elections in Ohio, Indiana
and pennsylvania, in each of which the
enemy claim msjorities, in Ohio of fifty
thousand, and in Pennsylvania twice as
many thousand as they received hundreds,
and in Indiana almost as many hundreds
as they received votes OF majority, If in
deed they have majority at all, have not
inspired the supporters of GRANT to the
extent the leaders wish. Nor have they
dispirited the Democracy to the extent
that will make them less formidable in the
great battle of the Sd of November.
If the Democracy can get the same vote
in November that it received in October,
if the same fearless men will rally at the
polls--we speak with confidence that is
felt by every Democrat who has calmly
viewed the political situation--we can
carry Ohio for the Democratic nominees in
| November next. We say this, because we
know of class of men deeply insulted and
deeply wronged-their religion made the
object of persecution-its adherents brand
ed as thieves and robbers, and as unfit to
dwell at their homes, who cannot, in the
very nature of things, and who will not
support GRANT, and who in numbers are
more than sufficient to carry Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Indiana by sweeping majori-
ties. These men generally vote the ticket
opposed to the Democracy--at the late
election two-thirds of them remained at
home or else voted the State Ticket of the
Republican party. In November they
will neither absent themselves from the
polls, nor will they vote for GRANT.
The stay-at-home voters of the Democ-
racv at the late election were large. Even in
the townships of this county, as can be seen
by the official vote, thoroughly canvassed
as the county was, the vote was sufficient
to have increased the majority enough tc
elect THOMAS to Congress and to defeat
WINANs. If this was the case in Franklin
county, it was doubly so in other parts o.
the State. These stay-at-home voters will
be out in November, and if so, and If those
who voted the Democratic ticket will bu
renew the fight, as it ought to be renewed
we again say, in the words of caImness ant

If the battle in November is not Tough
with vigor, it will be an exception to the
rule, that Democrats never falter in the
line of duty. The traditions of the party
show that they never yet despaired of tht
Republic-no defeat SO great as to cause
/ them ever to change their tront-none Sc
great as to make them cease their exertions
for its safety and its honor. And at this late
day, when the battle is for all that patriots
hold dear, there can be no single thought
of abandoning hope until the last vote il
polled and the last ticket counted, and then
if the battle be against us, the Democracy
will acknowledge that they are defeated
but not conquered. 60. ,,+ IN 4te-
If the Democracy but do their duty
there is no danger of ultimate defeat. We
have the material to change the late partial
defeat to victory more glorious than il
the skirmish of the I'd Tuesday of October
had been in our favor. rr

Perfect the organizations-see that the
law against Illegal voting is enforced, and
Ohio will show herself to be Democratic
