General Ilosecrans has been NOMINATED
for Governor Of Ohio, upon the only pink
row remaining in the Democratic platform,
VIZ: Having stood by Andrew johnson in
bis failures. 1t is not that he sustains
Jthnsons policies nov, for even the rebels
have abandoned them. But he did once
sustain them; ergo, he is now d Demo-
ctatt
Beginning the wnr as Radical, and con-
tiuuiDg 10 until defeat cut short his military
career, he no sooner mismannged CAM
paign and lost the leading battle of chica-
mauga than be became the Ieading
subject Of Democratic support as Grant
10 sooner began TO whip the
rebels than he drew down on his offending
bead the full measure OF Democ1ntic wrath.
When Rosecrans gave his tardy assent to
Johnson's reconstruction policy, thus repu--
diating the Abolition principles for which
Democrats reviied him at the beginning Of
the war, lie was still regarded only as .
doubtful convert. But when he humbly
besouglt Robert E Lee and the ether rebel
Generals, in conference assembled, to dc
tate the terms on which the South should
he reconstructed, he WAS received into full
communion, rs sound in the faith as Brick
Poneroy himself and al the sounder from
having 1epudiated bis recent convictions.
The Ohio Democracy, IN nominating
Rcsecraas, and passing over their yallaa-
dighnus, pendlctons, Morgans, Ewings,
Ct i'll oanne gtnus, who opposed the war,
corcede that they are ashamed Of their own
record during the eyentfu1 period from
lsGl.', and e1e nn1ious to hide behind the
coat t-tai!s Of soldier. Dy the time they
nomiuate their next candidate for Governor,
they will be equally ashamed Of their record
on the questions Of reconstruction mud re-
pudiation, md will hunt through the whole
camp Of Republicans TO find some weak
knced brother who sas sound both On the
war, on reconstruction, md on the finances,
but failed on some subsequent question.
The Democratic party seems to be IN insti.
tuition for the benefit Of renegade Republi.
cans. It's plntform is the recollection Of
past failures, and itH htandard-bearers are
the failurea themselves Well, we have
quite number Of the same sort left, and
we only regret there are not nomina-
! tions enough to 20 nround among them al.

AS stated BY that Journal, ostensibly we
have foar mails a week, but, in reality,
only two. The mail boat ome Nd ga
late on Tuesdays and Saturdays that the
matter cannot be delivered to the public
before next morning. and thus it has been
for months past. Up to Wednesday a,
IL o'clock M, no mails had been received
at Baton Rouge from New Orleans since
the Sunday previous. This way of doing
business should be inquired into, and the
proper remedy applied.
