This is the way tue Central organ ol
the Republican party OF Ohio talked on
The Htaiof November, 1860. Was that
Union talk ? X ick South Carolinalout OF
the Union-the power that can admit .
State into the Union can expel State
from the Union, was its argument South
Carolina was not admitted Tito the Union.
1t was the eighth State to ratify the Fed,
eral Constitution. And vet this, Repub.
icau Central Organ of Ohio graycly--
not in spirit OF levity-ineisted that this
Site, which was party originally to the
creation cf the Union, should be driven
from the Union We cite this 10 show the
temper of the leading Republican press
in November. 5000 show that they
were the reverse of staunch .Unionists
then. No wonder that Senator Douglas
wrote sorrowfully to personal friend in
December, 1860, that the leaders Of the
Republican party favored disunion on
party grounds II isnot surprising, then.
that on patty grounds Republican pollt-
clans are abusing General Ewing and
General Rice for their participation in
the War for the Union, and that they give
places Of honor, trust and profit to the
Confederata General Key and the confed-
