SERVED ITS TURN.

| the correction OF the Accredited charge
that Governor Allen, of Ohio, had ten
dered forty or fifty thousand troops to aid
the federal government to suppress an
''insurrection in Louisiana. We take no
exception to the fact that this correction
has been made by the private secretary OF
| Governor Allen, thus:
He did not in September last offer, nor
has he at any time offered troops to Grant
TO be used in Louisiana or ia any other
| State.

letter to the editor Of the States some
seven months ago, we admit the authority
of this attorney to bind the principal, and
we now make known to all and singular
whom it may concern, that We are con-
WINGED Govern or Allen did not make the
patriotic tender Of troops attributed to
him, but awaited, as legal executive
should, a requisition for troops from the
federal government 70. the purpose ini;-
Gated.
This impression Of loyalty can have
done Governor Allen very little harm in
Ohio, which sent SO many men into the
war FOR the preservation Of the Union.
When the obvious purpose Of the Democ-
racy was to prove themselves better Re
publicans than their Republican oppo-
nents, the canard Of the Coo did not
set them back at all It was not contra
dicted in a manner even SO authentic as
at present, until after the Democratic
convention had chartered the Republican
platform. and nominated Governor Allen
thereon. The uncontradcted belief of
this SUPERFICIAL tender Of troops having
served its turn in Ohio. its contradiction
in the South will establish the nationality
of Democracy. The Mississippi States
calls this report "the lies and slanderous
charge Of the Radical press We retort
by saying it may as well have emanated
from the Ohio Democracy as a card
played in close contest agains. the
the Republicans Of tina. State.
Is it supposed that the Democracy are
too pure for any such strategy: We refer
broadcast to their platforms on slavery,
the tariff. and the prosecution O: the civil
war.
The Democracy stands openly charged
in Ohio with an alliance with the Catholic +,
opponents of primary education. If we
have been at all fortunate in awakening /!
public attention to the iaxity Of the +!
Democratic tenets and the plenary in.
diligence extended to its dissenters, they |
will be prepared to note singular coin |

maker defines the word Jesuit "A So

definitions, but when we find party pro-
essing opposite principles in different
communities, abusing their opponents for

We do see Swallowed out consonance of

We have curious and incidental ex-
mple of this sympathy and coincidence
n the letter of Hon. L. Booth. This
entleman accepts and indorses the nomi-
alton of Governor Allen, with the mill
tone Of this canard around his neck. The
ender of the forty thousand may have
cen made sin the exigencies Of Ohio
olitics, says Mr.. Booth. In the words
the Picayuns-
If the good Of the party in Ohio de-
landed the determination of people and
