DON'T GIVE Up THE SHIP.
Ohio, in point Of fact, Republican
State, was carried by the Democracy b.
very small msorilies once or twice since
Il. ~ar. Upon Tuesday, it swung arount
:" It's H.ual political anchorage, and loud
have been the CALCULATIONS of partizans al
its return. Many reasons are assigned fol
the change; most of them unreal. The
financial question is supposed to be the
shoal on which the Ohio Democracy was
strand !. If So it bodies manifold ills to
the country, as the retention upon the
statute book, Of the s"ecie payment act,
is certain to lead 10 confsca.ion. The
Sherifs of the county will lap a creamy
bowl Of profit in fees, from hencefnrth. God
help the poor farmers Of Delaware, if the
Ohio victory leads to the enforcement of
the specie payment act. 1t Is difficult to
! understand how the mass of the people
could be seduced into the support Of a
platform, which contained threat of con-
Gscation. A close, AID intelligent study,
of the Ohio campaign leads US to the con-
clusion, that the awakening Of the latent,
antiCa'holic feeling in that State, by the
ingenious injection Of the School question
into the canvass, had much more to do with
the triumph of the Republicans there, than
ought else. 1t is quite manifest, that the
Ohio defeat has uone much to retire Thur
man, Allen, and men of that school, from
the race for the Presidsncy:-and
corresposdingly increase the chances Of
Baya,d, T.lden, Parker, English and snch
like leaders. That the school question ha.
aroused the friends of our common schools
into action and detached many follower,
from the Democracy, is proven by the tor
nado-like triumph Of the Republicans in
Newark, upon the same day as the Ohio
election; whore the question Of finance was
net mootcd. VIII some of the conGsca-
tion.sts read Us tie meaning Of ;he Newark
victory:
If tile SUCCESS in Ohio be a triumph of
the confscationists, it is a sorry day for the
working masses. We look upon it, as
victory Of the bankers of Paris, London
Amsterdam and New York, over the indus
tries of America. Money flowed like
water in Ohio, the State actually swarmed
with imported speakers, paid by the buI-
lion interests centering in New York. A
beaten party is always full of reasons why
it was defeated, hence we have budget
full, and will give one more. Sam Carey,
one Of the Democratic candidates is a
strong temperance man, and provoked the
ire Of the German Democrats, who de-
serted the Democracy in great numbers.
We are Of opinion that the result in
Ohio, will 80 far towards the nomination
Of Grant, as the hard money, public school
candidate:-the knowing ones ia Pennsyl-
vania have already commenced to praise
the Presidents fearless stand for both,
simultaneously with an onslaught upon
the opponents Of Public Schools, and
strange to say, it is question which has
never even co!ored politics in that Sta,e
for generation. Ohio is triumph for
Grant; and quite a step forward for his
nomination. The next great fight is in
New York and Pennsylvania, the one a
Democratic State the other At least doubt
ful. 1t cannot be denied that many Demo-
crsts, in Pennsylvania and in Delaware,
are jubilant over the defeat, Of the Ohio
Democracy. This feeling may SO far ope-
rate upon the minds Of quite number, as
to thin the Democratic columns. Tbs il =
sign Of fearful import, and can hardly be
looked upon as presage Of victory.
