THE CAUSE OF RErUULICAN LOSSES AT TIIE
, UKCKNT, KLKCTIOnI -ii
I am well satisfied with the result of our
election we may consider it u tie th oiie
liiindri'd thousand majorify which, whim
we were altogether a ; IJnibii war partly,
elected IJrough our governor, hnsu been
driven oil" by a few Iladical leaders, whom
the Republicans in. t he two houses liave al
lowed lp rule, perhapg to ruin thoin'. There
is a very large number of Old Line Whigs,
ami of those who inherit their prepossiW
aions and opinions, who went with the Re
publicans at the late election in all things
except the constitutional a'cendnent", be
cause the)'-feared to place , power in the
' hands of their old adversaries," tlie)eliifa
crats, .wjiile' they heartily ilapproved llr
fxtrcino radical policy of the JN-puhliciin
party. This class of voters is very ie;j.ifv!
numbered in the difference between t he'
Democratic vote for Governor ami the vote
against the constitutional amendment. " Oii
the whole, the result has shown that if a
new election were to take place at once, it
would bein the power ofthe Conservativps
to give a large majority; to either side lit
: pleasure. . This may or may not- be the
case a year to' come either 'party when u
power itay, within that time, utterly"; Wf
htroy itself past the possibility of rescue!
The present tendency of tlje Conservatives
isto unite with tlie ;Republicrn' party, if
that party will, in obedience to what they'
now know to be the will of the people, re
call their proscriptive mamlate, ami leaye
the intelligence of the. Southern States ifee
to act in modifying anil, carrying on their
State governments, and desist from forcing
on; thein negro tuflrage and quasi-negrd
quasi military rule. This they wilt do If
they read aright and prollt by the' lesson'
which has just been taught theni. 'gl S :'

Ohio was selected as the. most decidedly

ivauicai among , the great States, and the
questions were put to her people, ; fiist f
all, in the confident expectaition that their
Authority. would be obtained for fastening
'the reconstruction acts oii the South and
extending them over the border States un
der the assumption that thegovorninent of
,nb State can be , republican that does not
admit negro suffrage and proscribe meji
who have been rebels. Both, these tques
tions were involved and discussed in r the
Ohio election the Repubiiqart ora6rs,il
sisting that it would beinconsistent aim
unjust to force negro suffrage on theSouth,
and not to accept it for ourselves.' This
was manifestly f rru; we coiild not, with
any pretence of pbjitical justice, place Jhe
whole South under " negro- government bv

majority everywhere, and atjthesame time
