Our motto is this-our aim to strike true
and cut deep in It's defence, and to defend
principles is our pleasure, no msttor where
the blow falls. .lidg, LII .m s6sg .
in the case Of the Chicago Times, former
ly ono Of the most reliable Democratic pa-
pers, when it departed on its financial raid
into the camp Of negro suffrage, aud sought
to lead tho Democracy Of the Northwest in
to that murderous ambush, it became our
duty to strike boldly at the traitor-one
blow was sufficient to teach it duty, to de-
prive it Of power for evil and to make it
stand by its profession. We cut for princi-
pie, caring not one whit where the blow
might fall. The result is known. p, .
We this week are called to unmask the
Now York World for the same rcason-not
to sustain Clement L. Vallandigham, for we
orc no man-w -worshiper; but to show our
readers, Of whom we have ten where the
World has one, who it is that, lacking true
Democracy, sits like decoy duck on the
troubled waters to lead the unsuspecting in
to danger and death. Our compliments to
the World will be found in another column,
and with this We hand the World over to
Train, whose recognized organ the World
has now become. 9ru irs .-.i'.
A!fcw months since in Ohio q plan
Of political battle was decided on as fol.
lows: ,,'t;..t FL ,.,..,..,... ...
To redeem that State and defeat Ben.
Wade for return to the u. s. Senate the
Democracy united. Judge Thurman was
decided upon as the candidate for Governor
To better insure success and rally the people
it was decided that in event Of carrying the
Legislature, 9. l.. Vallandigham should be
sent to the Senate in place Of Wade, first, to
insure an outspokcn Democrat there; sec
on.lly, to teach the Rump Congress that one
Of its curses had come home to roost.
This plan of battle united the war and
anti-war Democracy. Pendleton was then
to receive united support for the Presidency
redeemed Ohio, with her Democracy uni
ted and encouraged would be tower of
strength, like Kentucky, New York, Con-
nccticut, Pennsylvania, California, Delaware,
Maryland, etc. In this planning was wisdom
and strength. The election time came. :
Thurman, Vallandigham and Pendlcton
were three political giants of that State
they carried the banner high-thcy battled
earnestly-they pressed the enemy on
every side; they hurled defiance and
the records Of misdeeds in the very teeth Of
Republicans-they won glorious victory.
The legislature was carried by Republicans
aud returned soldiers in hundreds Of cases
voting for Vallandigham legislators where
they did not vote for Governor on either
ticket. t'
Thurman received a majority Of the hon
est votes Of Ohio, but for cause unknown
did not claim the chair which he would have
had by claiming, and the Democracy would
have seen him defended in its posses
sion. ...... Z .. n ID ,.- gs
After the election, certain Democrats OF
Ohio wanted n new deal. A move was then
made to send Thurman to the Senate, OBJ
tain control Of the State organization, sell
out the friends of Vallandgham, and, will,
these things accomplished, as was tele
graphed or sent to the editors Of the Gin.

The bargain and sale was effected. Ap-
pliances brought to bear, elected Thurman
to the Office he was not candidate for, and
gave him an Office he had given his word, or
his friends had given for him that he would
not accept, even if defeated for Governor.
The election of Thurman by the legislature
in Columbus was like funeral-no cheer or
exultation-but the men in some instances
acted as did Judas Iscarriot, in going out,
but not to hang themselves. .''. . ~.
After this sale had boon madc-after the
friends of Vallandigham, after the brave
Democrats Of that State who are Democrats
from principle and dare stand by and defend
their Democracy ut all times and unaer all
circumstances saw the fruit of victory
snatchcd from them, they gave up. Here
was the great chance. The broken enemy
should have been pressed into rout--should
have been charged upon and cut to pieces
tho flower Of the "old guard" should have
been sent to the front, and this would have
given pluck to the men Of nerve and princi.
pie who alone have by their boldness and
determined s,and against usurpations stemed
tho tide and given US q hope for the fu-
ture. 'Ii'JS 3 - a7TtW " Lff1 rF
