1t would be idle, however, TO suppose that the
Ohio victory will put an end to the struggle for
iDhation. The result is to close too be regarded
as decisive, and the delusion of imitation has
gained too strong hold upon the ignorance
and knavery of the country to be so easily sup
pressed The battle is still to be fought to the
bitter end The great gain is that the rag
money. party must labor under the conscious.
money will be stimulated by victory to renewed
exertion. Future success will be easier, for the
hard-money ranks will be more united and will
be constantly increased.

The wise Democratic politicians of Ohio have
dug their own pit. They seem happy at it.
They have done it repeatedly in the past Is
years, and, so far as can be seen, are capable of
learning nothing from experience. What
with Vallandigham during the war, Pendleton
in the period Immediately following its close,
and William Allen in the new political epoch
just opening, they have shown most remarka-
BILE ability to overturn aud destroy.

A Republican surge of victory breaks upon
Pennsy lvana within three weeks of one of the
most important political verdicts her people
have ever rendered. 1t matters not how or
why the Republican tide has been created
whether by folly of the defeated or by strategy
of those who have triumphed. 1t is Republi-
can wave that breaks upon the loose, undis-
ciplned AMI uncommanded Democratic lines
that must drive them from their hopeful posi-
ton for time, if it does not break them in
confusion.

Ohio has spoken in unmistakable voice for
such reconstruction of parties as will bring
about the resumption of specie payments at the
earliest feasible moment. 1t is felicitous
thing for the Republican party that it needs
very little reconstructing with that end in view.
Let its ranks be re reinforced by hard money
Democrats, W thout distinction of nationality,
and the SunrpmacV of OrOaniZatIOD Taliahln
on this issue, is assured The same effects will
be produced everywhere as are seen in Ohio.

But although his defeat Allens) is lesser
evil to the Democratic party than his election
would have been on an initiation platform, tpe
rejoicing over this canvass will all be on the
side of the Republicans. They have recon-
quered great state, which they lost TWO years
ago. and, what is more important, tney stan9
before the public as the champions OF a Sounu
currency, gaining great moral as sa;n,, wei as
great political advantage. They are fairy en-
titled to the credit of having rescuel the coun,
try from a great danger, and their success VIII
have a decided influence on the subsequent
elections of the present year. For the sake of
the country everybody should rejoice that in
fiation has nothing to show but its dead on the
battle field.
The result is cause for profound rejoicing.
The train of evils that might and certainly
would have followed a triumph of the rag
money party could not be contemplated with
out the greatest anxiety, especially by those
who. being on the spot, knew something of the
inner counsels of that party, and of what reck-
less and INSCRIPTIONS material it was compos-
ed. v lille the campaign wore the appearance
of great argumentative struggle, the DEBATE
