The attention of the Republicans
Of Ohio is most earnestly invited to
this call, in the hopo that it will re-
ceive their prompt attention.
The campaign of 1868, the issues
it involves, is one Of the most if not
tho most important we have over
been called upon to engage in. Many
of the questions growing out of the
late war are unsettled. Their pro.
per settlement depends entirely on
the Republican party, aud our defeat
in this campaign will be the surren-
der Of the Government into the hands
of the party which brought on the
war. Shall the destructive policy of
that party again become the policy
of the natiou2
We must judge our opponents not
by their present professions alone
but by their past actions. The same
influence, that in 1867 percip;lated
the rebellion, aud for four years
waged a reasonable war, still rules
its councils aud will shape its policy
should il return to power. In illus
tration of this we have the action of
the majority oGthe General Assembly
resembling the ratification of the !
Constitutional amendment and the
instructions to our members
of Congress to vote for the repeal of |
tue heConstructtOn acts,
We must have patience in the |
labor OF 'ruction. It is not
the work of day. The machina-
tlons of per6dious Executive, aided |
by powerful and determined party,
largely composed of defeated rebels, |
'erved to delay the execution of the
wishes Of the loyal majority of the
country, but cannot prevent it, if we
ire as faithful to our trust in the fu
'nre as VIC have been in the past.

The result of the falls election has
