From the New York Evening Post
In the State of Ohio the condition of things
champions of truth, honesty, and good govern
ment. Their candidates are uneXceptfonable,
and patriotic hearts throughout the nation.
They are battling not only against the paper
| ty which looks 10 the ultimate disavowaI of the
public faith. Errors affiliate, and he who con-
tends for a long reign of broken promises is on
the high road to broader reputation. Some
of the Ohio orators, indeed, do not scruple in
their denunciation of the bondholderS, to in
clude the sbt with the person that holds the
debt, and to long for general wiping-out of all
''that we may cancel what we owe and float
along on bankrupt enterprises" Let them sue
eeed, and the party wIich is now in the ascen-
ready eminent statesmen, to whom we looked
for some stability of conviction and firnness of
ers, less convinced and strong than they were,
will topple over, like a row of bricks when it is
set agolng Every politician on the floor of the
House of Represen tatives would rush to the
supposed popular side with the velocity of
vulture who shifts his carrion. What legisla-
ton we should then be cursed with we may
judge from the wild farragos of gabble which
echo from the Ohio Bedlam.
THE FOLLY OF THE OHIO DEMOCRATS.
From the New York Herald
1t used to be said during the late war that sew
eral vehement and reckless Democratic jour
Republican secret service fund, with the object
OF making the Democratic party odious to the
people. 1t has also been asserted, that one or
two especially foolish Democratic Congressman
during the same period received their nornina-
tons through the intrigueS of aStute Republi-
can managers, who foresaw the value of such
men in Congress to make their party suspected
and feared.
There was, probably, little foundation for
these assertions; for candOr requires us to say
that the Democrats during and since the war
have been but too ready 10 encourage the igno-
rant and unprincipled among their public men
and have needed 10 outside help. But the
just now recalls the old story of Republican
man1pulationS, and lends to them certain
amount of probability. For, what could be
more maladroit than that, just when he eoun-
try has made up its mind that paper money is
blunder, when prices have already shrunk
very nearty to specie standard, when most of
the hardship and suffering necessarily result
ing nom resumption has been felt, when
might with but & little effort and patience re-
turn to q SOUND currency, these Democrats
should not only demand new initiation of the
currency, but commit the additional blunder
ed the currency-a charge which is so easily
futed by undeniable facts that only the raShest
ignorance could make it.
Mr.. George II. Pendleton one of the foremost
Democratic statesmen, solemnly warned the
country in Congress- in 1862, that q legal tender
currency would lead to imitation, and probably
TO reputation. He spoke wisely; and the ableSt
men of both parties all over the country have
for years urged upon the Republican admins
tration the duty of bringing the country back
TO sound currency. So general is the convic-
this year eight of ten Democratic State Conven-
t1onS which have met have adopted resolutions
IN faver of sound currency, and all the Re
publican conventions have done the same
thing. That there is a faction, more vehement
than StrOnS in all the States, deSirOuS of infia-
ton, is perfectly true; but there are many signs
such as the ridiculous failure of the Detroit in
nat1on meeting, to sh w that neither the mass
OF the people nor the really eminent leaders of
either party favor SO fatal and dishonest
policy.
