The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1868-10-07

Saving Ohio, the situation of which, to- them is
anything but Hnttering. A.month ago the Radi-
cal canvass, as.we happen'to know showed but
tho small edge of a. majority in Indiana of 5000.
Even q less figure wns caimsd by Mr., Colla1 when
here. Woare satisfied that Jacooinism mas gone
up in The central State Of the Northwest. Right
in the heart Of that great power in polltlcs-the
Nortllwest-the Radical column gives way, menac-
ing, of course; the worst form of disaster 10 The
wings-Ohio on the right, and Illinois upon the
LETT 1t is great thing in military strategy or
tactics to pierce the centre, rs did Bonaparte the
allied Austrians and Russians at Austerllfz.
As an appropriate appendage to the above, we
make an extract from the letter Of Gen JOHN A.
McCLEnyAND, distinguished officer: of the Onion
army, addressed to the meeting in indianapolis:
Indiana holds the pivot Of the Democratic line
Cur ears nre open to- catch the first echoes of the
shouts other anticipated Democratic victory The
triumph of her irresistible Democracy will decide
our triumph in Illinois. The people are rising on
an sides Their indignation ut false and faithless
rulers flashes andthunders all around The masses
are sure and the prairics ablaze. The step of the
Democracy is to the music the Constitution aud
the Union. Their flag 10 the old flag, advanced
aloft and flashing With 9 sparkling star, as OF yore
for every Stnte-not one the less. This is their
sign, and in it they will conquer.
The Augusta Geo. Chronicle and Sentinel, ono
Of the best informed and sblest political journals
in the South, has gratifying: nems from OhiOs as
contained in the following paragraph: /:
"Our nsws from Ohio is of the most cheering
character. The Democracy expect to carry six
teen out Of the nineteen Congressional Districts.
In the Third, vallandingham is certain to defeat
the braggart hero OF Vienna, Con. Bob Schenck {;
in the Tenth, Judge Hoag is making gallant can
vsst against the notorious Ashley and will be sure
to beat him; while in the Sixteenth, woman -mur-
derer Bingham will be elected to stay ut homo by
a handsome majority. The Democracy of the
Buckeye State are thoroughly aroused. Such en-
thusiasm and yigor WAS never known in the can
vass there before. A few days since, at meeting
inthat State Senator Doolitte spoke for two hours
to vast throng, who stood during the whole time
in drcnching rain, and eyen,then closed his ad-
dress amidst repeated cries to go on. ,"
We have already stated that Ohio would be close
ly contested, in our opinion. This belief rests
mainly upon the fact that greater efforts are being
made by the Radicals of that State than elsewhere
to carry the October election. They know and
fully appreciate The disasterto their party every
where unless they succeed next week, and hence
nothing isleft uutried to bring about success. Be-
Sides the leaders of the Radical party in Ohio have
held greater prominence in the reconstruction
policy of Congress than those of any other Slate,
taking them altogether, and a defeat of that party
now virtually sets the seal of condemnation upon
the odOus measure of tyranny and oppression in
augurated by them. Such mena SHERMAN, WADE,
ScuENcK, ASHLEY and BINGHAM are too intimately
connected with the Infamous legislation of the past
eighteen months to allow their own defeat at this
time, without making the most strenuous efforts
to sustain their party. But the Democracy are'at
work nohly, and under such leadersa PESpLEros,
TnuRMAr and yASDAsDtNoHAM, greatly deserve
success aud We shall rejoice atthcr victory as the
best deserved and noblest won Of all the triumphs
of the Democratic party.
