Year: 1869

BILE ones ones out of their patrimony,
to drive them out by brute force,
and to seize and destroy the prop
erty Of the people Of the South, and
then disfranchise the owners for
resisting these wrongs


This language has all the merit of
plain speaking. There is no equiv
ocation or attempt to mislead the
people as to the significance that
will be attached to the election of
Mr.. Pendleton as Governor of Ohio.
Not that his election can bring
about the state of things which the
Ashland Union desires to see, but it
will be an initial step in that direc-
ton, and so regarded by every Dem
ocrat who seeks to open up the old
controversies and put the South
into a position where it can repeat
the experiment of 1861 with better
prospect Of success. A formidable
blow is to be aimed at the credit of
the General Government first.
Without credit it will be bound
hand and foot and ready for deliv-
cry into the hands of the Philis-
tines. If it's bonds are not to be
paid in the legal currency of the
country, says the Union, "The
sooner the swamping takes place,
the better it will be for tax ridden
and outraged people" Those who
advocate an enormous issue of
greenbacks to pay the bonds, know
that in three years they would be
worth no more than the French as
signets, which had a better security,
and that when deprecated to a
merely nominal value, the next step
would be to sweep away the whole
mass as rubbish, as was done with
the French paper. The repudiators
know exactly how the result can be
reached through the specious policy
Of Mr.. Pendleton, and how deadly
a blow it will be to the credit Of a
Government that they hate.


If the people of Ohio desire to
go backward, to upset a policy
which has been followed till nearly
all the States have been restored to
their places in the Union, to reopen
all the wounds of the war, and
revive the bitter controversies of the
past, they can not do more accep
table thing than to vote for Mr..
pendleton, for he is, as we have
charged, and as the Ashland Union
admits, the representative of reac-
ton and all its train of mischievous
consequences. We are in the begin.
ming of a period of peace and pros
perity. Agricultural industry and
manufacturing have revived all ove1
the South. The people, assured
against further political embarrass-
lnents, have taken heart. Liberal
ideas are developed, political ami
mosities are dying out, and the
universal desire is for peace. They
may differ in opinion as to the pro
priety Of what has been done, but
fear the evils that would attend it's
undoing. But if Mr.. Pendleton is
elected, those among them who are
determined to carry the reaction to
its utmost impossibility, will regard
it as favorable sign, and double
their activity in resisting the author
ity of the Government and the exc.
cution of its laws.


No man who believes that the
war settled certain important ques
tions, and among others the inhe
rent right Of the General Govern
ment to assert its supremacy anc
defend and protect its existence, car
vote for Mr.. Pendleton. No mar
who fayors a financial policy thai
will increase confidence in the crdi
Of the Government and gradually
advance its notes and obligations te
a coin standard, can vote for Mr.
Pendleton. No man who desires tc
seegthe question of reconstruction
speedily settled, the States in thei
places in the Union, and the result:
Of the war safely secured by consti
tutional provision, can vote for Mr.
Pendleton; an1 for the very sub
stantial reason, as the Ashland
Union admits, that he is the repre-
sentative of q party that is opposed
to those propositions. Let the peo
pie Of Ohio carefully consider wha
they are doing before they deposi
their votes for this representative O
financial chaos and political anarchy
