THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

1--WE learn from an intelligent and
impartial politician in Ohio that in
the October election Gov. Allen and
the Democracy will certainly be de-
feated, and our adyices from other
sources are Of similar tenor. Well,
if it turns out so, there will be one
Democratic candidate less for Presi-
dent; and on his grave stone may be
inscribed: Rag money did it. ~
NeaO York San.
Perhaps no State campaign since
the war has excited SO deep and gem
eral interest as that now being pros
ecuted in Ohio. The fight is being
made entirely on the financial ques-
ton, and amid the fierce excitement
old party lines are crumbling to piec-
es. The Cincinnati Enquirer, a red
hot imitation journal distinctly avows
that the only issue in the campaign
is Paper Us. Hard Money. And in its
Over-zealous advocacy of imitation, it
has attacked Senator Thurman, Hon.
George e. Pugh, and Hon. Rufus z.
Ranney, the most prominent Demo
cratic leaders in the State, who re-
fuse to endorse the Enqltirer's rag
money heresy, and while denouncing
with its bitterest inyective these old
and trusted leaders of the Democrat
ic party in Ohio, it takes lovingly to
Hon. w. ID. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
and B. T. Butler, of Massachusetts,,
who are inflationists, and have re-
Gently made imitation speeches in
Ohio. The Enquirer reads Senator
Thurman out of the Democratic par
ty, while at the same time it an
nounces having published a cam
paign pamphlet containing the recent
speeches of Goy'r. Allen and Hons.
George III. Pendleton and w. d. Kel-
ley. We mention these facts to show
the mixed condition of political af-
fairs in Ohio at this time, and the
consequent utter impossibility of
iOlCNttcbliiS bilN lCDlilb Will
like certainty. The San may have
information that Gov. Allen will be
defeated in October, but it is certain
ly not reliable. We have informa-
ton, from the State also, and while
we do not endorse the imitation doe
trine of the Ohio Democracy, we be-
lieve the masses of the people in that
State favor it, and that it viii win in
the present campaign. But this is
simply our opinion, based on infor-
nation derived during a recent visit
to the State, and from correspond
ence with gentlemen from Southern
and Northern Ohio, who are actively
engaged in the campaign. Eyerybo-
dy will likely have an opinion in re-
gard to the fight, but in the present
mixed condition of parties on the
financial question, it is impossible to
predict the result on any reliable
data. The curious and wonderful
struggle on the financial question
has gridironed parties so that hardly
any one knows where he belongs po
litically. Ohio politics is just now &
curious mixture.

Hate Not.

Hate not. 1t is not worth while.
Your life is not long enough to
make it pay to cherish i'll will or
hard thoughts toward any one,
What If that man has cheated YOU
or that woman played you false ?
What if this friend has forsaken
you in your time of need, or that
one having won your utmost con-
fidence, your warmest love, has
concluded that he prefers to con-
slider and treat you as a stranger +?
Let it all pass. What difference
will it make to you ia few years
when you go hence to the undis-
covered land All who ill-treat you
will be more sorry for it then, than
you, even in your deepest disap-
pointment and grief, can be. A
few more smiles, a few more tears,
some pleasure, much pain, a little
longer hurrying and worrying
through the world, some hasty
greetings and abrupt farewells, and
our play will be played OUT and
the injurer and the injured win be
led away, and ere long forgotten.
Is it worthy to hate each other ?

The census Of Ireland, which was
undertaken four years ago, sjust com
pleted by the final reports, presenting
very full statistics of the condition of
that Island, which, as they are in a
certain measure connected with the
growth OF our own country, have here
more than a technical interest. The
survey OF the island shows that, out of
the 2l,00O,000 acres of its territory,
nearly 100000 are untitled for cult

tain, leaving an area of productive

acre to each inhahitant. The number
Of dwelling-houses returned is $50, 900
Especial interest attaches to the Stats
ties of population, as showing the el-
feet of emigration, Of which so large a
proportion comes TO America. Since
lS4l, the population, has fallen off 2,
100000, and there has been decrease
OF 100000 in the number of dwellings,.
But during the ten years from 1861
to 1871 the loss has been only 1886, 900
and ii is thought that the natural in
crease will soon begin to make up the
deccase by emigration. The tcnden-
cy of more liberal methods of govern
ment has flate years been to give
ireland the strength to recuperate from
the drain upon Its population and its
resources caused by %, century of mis-,
government, and to turn the tide
which at one time threatened to ex-
haust it. The drift of events is stead
lily in the same direction, and while
Ireland has done so much to populate
the world it IS alsa coming to see its
own growth in people and prosperity.
