This plan ofbattle united the war and anti
war Democracy. Pendfeton was then 70 re-
ceive united support for the Presldency-re
deemed Ohio. with hsr DeEOeAcy united
and encouraged would be tower Of strength
like Kentucky, New York, Connecticut,
Pennsylvania, California, Delaware, Mary,

strength. The election time came. Ihnr>
man, Vallandigham and Pendleton we're the
three political giants Of that State-they car
ried the banner high-they 6anied eafnssaiy

LEGISLATORS where they did not vote for Gov
ernor on either ticket.
After the election, certain Democrats oil
Ohio wanted new deal. A move was then
made TO send Thurman to the Senate, obtain
control Of the State organiza ion, sell out the
friends of Vallandigkam, and, with these
thinss sceeH1ssheds eswas autographed or
sent thd (dto}s of the Gncn na.i Enquirer,

The bargain and sale was effected. APP
pliances brought to bear, elected Thurman TO
the Office he was not candidate tor, and
gave him an Office he had given his word, OF
his friends had given for him that he would
not accept, even il defeated for Governor.
The election of Thurman by the legislature In

ed as did Judas lscarriot, in going cut, but
not to hang themselves.
After this sale had been made-after the
friends of Vallandigham, after the brave
Democrats Of that s, ate who are Democrats
from principle aud dare stand BY and defend
their Democracy at all times and under al
circumstances saw the fruit Of victory snatch
ed from them, they gave up.
To the ones who broke faith with the work
iug, victorious Democracy Of that State is thil
defeat in the 9th Dis,ric, chargable. Yor
cannot long betray and Insult your bes
friends. Had Vallandigbam been sent to tbs
Senate, Pendleion could have carried Ohio,
Thurman been the next Governor, and oul
victory for '6S would to-day have been won
But the battle is nov to be fought over again,
ard we are worse of in Ohio than We were in
October. NEITHER PENDLETON OR
VALLANDIGHAM COULD CARRY
THAT STATE TODAY, NOR THIS
YEAR FOR ANY OFFICE.
Here We have glimpse Of the condition oil
the party IN Ohio, and the opinion of an IN
fuential editor Of the party, that Pendietou
can not carry his Own State.
In this connection we make an extract from
the Columbus, Ohio, Crisis:
There is reason to fear that the most for.

Convention will come from the Eastern ring

Wortdw That paper, while continuing 70 in
culcAts its halfway Democracy managing ID
be on the Abolition side of all the vital qnes-
tons OF the day, has treated the nomination
OF the Western Democracy for the Presiden-
cy with snpercilioas Ignorance and imperti
nent hippancy only equalled by the course Of
the Herald, from which nothing better could
be expected. The course of The World SUBJ
jeets it to the suspicion that it ia actuated
rather by desire to subserye the interests OF
the bondhoiders than to promote the success
of the only party which can save the country
from despotism and ruin. The case is sggra-
waited by the belief, we'll founded or not, that
the Chairman of the National Committee, the
agent Of i've kings aud hundreds of millions
OF dollars, Is ~ the bottom Of scheme to
defeat The Ohio nominee because Of his views
upon financial questions. The Democracy Of
this country have been too often fooled into
false positions by such Vaccinations, to be
again defeated by them; and We trust ths,
forewarned as they must be, of the attempt.
they will be prepared to Toll it in whatevel
shape it may present itself.
