OHIO AND PENNNILyANz

That the principles Of tie Ohio
Democratic platform have taken deep
hold on the public sentiment at the
North, says the Nashville EItjOu, is
established by the action Of the Penn
sylvania Democracy. A persistent and
energetic effort has been made by the
friends of contraction and bank mono
poly IN Pennsylvania and out Of it, to
induce the Peunsy lvania Democrats,
to pronounce against the Ohio plat
form. The New York ITOrtd and Zri-
Uttne have given special attention to
the political situation in the Keystone
State. They have by turns with
threats and persuasion, endeavOIed to
induce that stalwart Democracy to en-
list under the banner OF com me rcial
and agricultural ruin. The la lure of
their efforts is complete and over
whelming. The action of the Penu-
sylvania Democratic Convention will
strike terror to the money power, and
encourage the people IN every State 10
renew ID txertIOHs to throw off the
burdens they have so long borne for
the exclusive benefit Of IA favored few.
THIS action Will be especially comfort
ing and encouraging to the u, mocracy
of Ohio. They will continue the can
vass with increased zeal. Another
half million of dollars will be sent
from Wall street into the rural dis
tricts of Ohio to defeat Governor
Allen. But his election is no longer
doubtful. That result is an accom-
pIished fact.
The two platforms are nearly identi-
Cal on the currency. The following
are the sections on that subject:
That the contraction of the currency
heretofore made by the Republican
party. and the further contraction pro-
posed by 1t with view to the forced
resumption of specie payment, has
already been disastrous to the bust
ness of the country, and threatens it
with general bankruptcy and ruin.
We demand that this policy be aban-
doned, and tine volume of currency be

WHO WITHHELD THE REPRIEvE?
Who withheld the reprieve?
Holt says Andrew johnson did
Johnson said he was never asked for
1t. Holt admits that an official ap-
plication by the murderous conclave
of troopers, called the court, was made
to Andy for a reprieve. Andy said
Stanton withheld it. Each threw the
blame on the other; but, whosoever
was to blame, the deed was done, in
face of day, under the shadow of the
flag OF the United States, by the au-
thority of its President, the acquies-
cence of his cabinet, the signing of the
secretary of war, and under the actual
supervision of major-general of it's
armies.
OF all the more active participants
IN that murder, Holt alone remains to
face the strange fates that have over
taken his associates therein-dubious
and sudden death.
Stanton died quickly after. He
died suddenly, and suspected of the
suicide of remorse.
King drowned himself And men
do say he drowned himself from in
ability to face the constant memory of
his unsolicited share in that woman's
murder.
Andrew johnson, whose demise re-
calls the whole of that awful story to
the mind again, died suddenly. But,
not, we trust, because of the crime.
Of which a passing weakness alone
made him passive accomplice.

There is a studiOus attempt upon
the part of the Radical journals to con-
vjct President Wilson of insanity
or senility-all because he is So charm
disasters The truth is Mr.. Wilson is
much more sane now than he was
wears ago, when he had a bad case of
"nipger on the brain" We have al
ready given, from time to time, GER
tain Of his Delphic utterances, and
here is another which displays a
sagaci0ns aud healthy intellect. Speak
ing of the attempt to form parties ont
side of the great organizations Of the
day, he says This building up of
third parties is not generally the work
OF practical men. There are perhaps
seven millions of voters in Our country;
the actual majority of one party over
the other is never above few hundred
Thousand. You see what a narrow
shelf q third party has to occupy.
Take the Republican party, which had
such a remarkable carer on the destiny
of men. | was one of the callers Of the
Philadelphia convention. We tried to
stir up the people on the main issues
of conscience, but at last we had to
triumph by bringing about fusion Of
the native Americans, the Republicans,
the Free Soil Democrats. etc thus
dropping to a much lower plane for
our triumph Even th"n Lincoln had
to come in by plurality instead of
majority. Now, Greeley's opportunity
was unparalleled to make a new party
by the consent OF an old one, vet he
failed, and broke his heart" IF that
solid presentation OF great truths is an
evidence of lunacy, 1t is a pity that the
Radical editors are not inocu-
lated with the same views.
