The Republicans Harmonious-speech of
senator Sherman.
An immense ratification meeting of the Ohio
hepuolcan nominees was held in Cincinnati last
evening, at which Senator Sherman spoke at
length. We give the following extracts:-
THE "EEw DEPARTURE" OF THE DEMOCRACY,
congratulate you that we have now, In Ohio, at
east the formal approval of the great distinguishing
measures OF Republican policy by the recent con-
yention ofDemocratlc politicians here in Columbus
They tell us that they recognize as accomplished
lacts the three amendments or the Constitution and
they pledge themselves to the full and faithful en-
forcement OF the Constitution as it is, SO as to
secure equal rights to all persons under IL, without
distinction of race, color or condition. So far, well
IL 1s great matter to secure a formal
when they involve the rights of millions OF people,
Nand when they have been 30 steadily opposed In ali
.stsges by the Democratic party, North and South.
8s1nce the war They were mainly the issues OF the
asst Presidential campaign Opposition TO them was
I ne starch, the uniting element OF the Democratic
party. Where would they have been without the
pate OF the negro? What line holds the mass of the
negropnobia ?" Where VIII Kentucky be without
4 ms tie Her old afiinities were not with the
mass Of honest but mistaken men, who feared the the
enect upon our Institutions Of the citizenship of
emancipated slaves? Where will be that other
3class OF Democrats whose only political idea was
Hounded upon prejudice against and hate OF negroes
knd who In the mobs of New Yerk, and in organized
/fnobs OF the South, hunted down, whipped and mnr-
ered negroes prevent them from exercising either
&tvil or political rights; and who whipped scourged,
Uu-
{3atng and being friends OF the negro race? What
Jeh Davis say, who, though hts life was fairly
XIpr1elted Dy MS treason yet commands influence
~ Her more votes In the South than we have Demo-
Ifrats IN Ono? What will the large minority of Ohio
democrats say, who pro- ested in the convention
8Rainst acquescing in the amendments7 Still, in
pite OF all this uncertainty, it is glorious fact of
$hch Republicans may feel proud, that a majority
~ the Democrats OF ohio acqulesce in the great
beasures we have brought about, promise obedience
them, and the enforcement of them, and beg of
no longer to consider them as political issues be-
pre- the country.
CAN THE DEMOCRATS BE TRUSTED?
Test the Democratic party by what it has done,
temporary majority in the Legislature OF Ohio do
pc people OF Ohio? 1t pledged reform, and yet in
be service, ana largely Increased local taxes What
as 1t done In New York, and especially In the CITY,
here, under Tanm'ny influence, there is
luncipal government in the world. WHAT
pm it do for the future OF this country They issue
string OF fifteen resolutions, and there is not
ngle Affirmative proposition in them upon which
be Democratic party could stand united, except the
Pc demanding amnesty for Davis Toombs, and the
ebels Of the south. The first seven resolutions
ley call the ''New Departure" They remind one
hey appear eager to depart in every direction,
go nowhere They tell they hold good to
e eld Democratic doctrine Of annexation Of
rritory. but are opposed to the acquisition OF
INTO Domingo. They pretend to be for
med out % to issue an
aspect for the laws and the courts and they pro-
Pse to disregard not only the solemn pledges OF our
Ia
order to cheat the public creditors They declare
3eir opposition to the National Banking system
t propose nothing to take its place. In their wild
d blind opposition they would destroy the best
stem OF currency we have ever had, merely be-
Irse it was established by the Republican party,
Tough the first commercial nations of the world
Re applauding it, and following our example, aud
Tough Governor Chase, now one OF their caudi
htes, favored it and supports it, Though no man
Ps lost dollar as the holder OF q national bank
bte, yet they would derange all the business OF the
puntry by uprooting the system, merely because
pere Is supposed to be virtue in party cry against
hnkS They talk about revenue tariff and wise
x laws, and yet no member OF their party in Con-
Ore offered by us. when we repeal eighty millions
taxes, they vote against it When we devise new
uards against fraud they vote against them. They
nix about economy. and yet they vote for every ex-
avagant expenditure. They would load us down
fth Rebel losses in the war. They seize upon every
opular cry-here one thing and there another. In
hio 1t Is "greenbacks - in New York IL is 'specie
4yment;" in Pennsylvania it is protection:
be South, it is "a perpetual war against
e Amendments, and death to the Negro - with
e Irish, it is Fenianism; in Kentucky, It IS 'the
fsoutons OF '9s, slightly revised" with Jea. Davis
nd his powerful following sit is discord, war, and
sunion." Let any impartial man look ever the
bOk at the dangerous elements comprising that
arty; let him consider what they would probably
p II placed in power; let him combine in one cal
ron all the ingredients, and say, upon his oath, is it
se and polite yet Co turn over to the Democratic
Prty the administration OF the affairs OF a great
etion like ours9
