cessity of action. These, with kim
dred unwholesomc measures Of the
Democracy, is what is arousing the
Republican party of Ohio from its
lcthargy, and insures victory in that
State this Fall, counting tens of thou
sands in its majority. The fact is, the
Republican party needed once more
TO be beaten, before all its members
would see the need of renewed effort
to prevent the Government from pass
ing into the hands Of its enemies. The
party needed again to see the cloven
foot of treason's cohorts threateningly
protruding from its shroud, to ener-
gizc itas a whole, into action. The par.
ty had become too much like the hus-
bandman who slothfully cajoled him
self into the belief that he had culti-
waited his field until the noxious weeds
were exterminated, and only awaken
ed to find that the weeds had stolen a
march upon him, requiring prompt,
determined, and faithful effort to
overcome them. We feel sure that
Republicans have learned such a les
son, as is now awakening and will
continue to awaken the Republican
party to rs glorious a victory in the
coming Fall elections, as it used to
gain in its palmiest days.
Senator Thurman has retired to
Put-in-lsay, and there few DAYS
since, IN the presence OF gentleman
who reports his exact language, said
that the Democracy would lose Ohio
that the imitation platform, Sam.
Carey's blather and demagoguery and
the Catholic clergy on the common
school question, had brought about
the result. These are the cloyen feet
Of the Ohio Democracy.
