We obxerved n day or two ainca that rest]
the iinpredion seemed to be abroad in M
Ohio that Judge West had made such C*U'
gain-t in the cnnvaM ai would result in 'iaVl
his election. Thee #aina have not ariaen *l 1
froia his speeches alone, nor even chiellj .tr
from that source, hut rather from the
(jood feeling that has cropped out all over
the country in consequence of good crop*, ftV(.

President punned a different course to- enct
ward the South after hi* inauguration, the'
the decided probabilities arc that Ohio 'ar
would have given a Democratic majority j"eP'
of many thouaaud* to-day. While there
are a good many dH?atinlled Republican* .
in Northern Ohio who aro inclined to pe^
believe that the President haa gone more
than half way over to the enemy, there jllm
are a great many more Republicans who fj
were on the ere of leaving the party last ow?,
rear because of their despair of f ver see- exce
ing a settlement ol our Southern troubles each
under a Republican administration. with

away from the parly in the Greeley cam- juiy

Judge West, the Republican candidate, shot
mule a blunder in the very opening of trao
the canvass that may cost him a good
many voies. We refer to his letter of
acceptance and to his first speech. A good nIiii
winy Republicans were \>oaitively shock- <1
f?l to see their caudidate catering to what
savored of communism, although when T
judged by his life-time record and his II,
sutaquent masterly expositions of the clevi
labor question, they hare mostly recov- Mas
erfd from thatshock and been willing to mori
awume that he was misunderstood. ?f l'
This is merely a hasty glance at the sit- ',erc
uition in Ohio on the morning of the elec- J',e I

length upon the result. A few bourn .. .

1 that have been innde in relation to tnv 1
! late vinit to Uot. Morton, anil state brief- 1
ly the facts connected with it. It is well ]
1 known to the people of this State, that
* from the time Gov. Morton united with '
the lie publican party, we have stood po- 1
litically opposed; at the name time our 1
personal relations have been always {
friendly. I have, therefore, no apology to '
oiler for visiting him in his sickness. It "
' wus an act of kindness which 1 owed to (
1 myself to j>erform. '
! In a brief interview oi less than fivo .
f minutes, at which Col. It. >V. Thompson,
, Secretary of the Navy, Mr. McK.ee, of
t Terre Haute, and Dr. Thompson, ol this
city, were present, the probabilities of his
! Kjov. Morton's) return to Washington <
City were spoken of. He expressed the
[ hope of being able to do so at the regular
, session, but said he had given up the ex,
poctation of being there at the extra ses?
| nion. I remarked, in eubstunee, that he
ought to tnke all care of himself, but if
he regained his strength w a< to be able
to go to Washington and found the attendance
on daily sessions of the Senate too
, fatiguing he could rest himself by pairing
oil' with me. This is nil there was of
! it, and while I spoke of the matter by
way 01 encouragement i meant just wnat j
I said, and in ho expressing myself I did >
not more tlian propone the tlntlal courtenie.i
that have been practiced in the f
.Senate from the foundation of the Goveminent,
and which had l>een extended to (
me by Ciov. Morton at the late extra pession
of the Senate when 1 was |
called home by the sickness of my
daughter. It did not aeem to uie that
there wna anything in this to attract *
special attention, or that I had done any
act to merit censure or praise, and on my t
return from the visit 1 went almost immediately
to visit my friends in Foun- t
tain county,and it was only on my return r
on Monday last that 1 learned any notice fi
of it had been taken in the paperft. I
found in the Indianapolis Journal of j
that date a brief statement of the fact,
which is substantially correct, and supposed
that would probably be the end of ?
the matter. 1 understood, on reaching
liouie, that nartiea representing the v
Sentinel had called at my residence to sec
me, but I met with no one representing j
that paper until Tuesday. Up to that ^
time 1 had seen no one connected
nun iiiu press 10 my Knowledge since ^
my return from the vi?it to Governor H
Morton, but on Tuesday afternoon u e
gentleman called at my olBce And said
lie had been pent, on behalf the Sentinel, to
, learn the facts in relation to my visit and
, especially in regard to the alleged agreement
between Gov. Morton and myself
ti? pair oft". I took the article in the
Journal, part of it which gave a statement
of the fact as to the alleged pair, and
1 handed it to him, the usage of the Senate
in similar can?*,and the fact and circum- .
stance of Gov. Morton's having paired off
with me last spring. He expressed htmself
entirely satisfied with the explanation.
The extract 1 gave him from the
' Journal is as follows:
' The proposition of that gentleman
(Senator McDonald) was not to pair with
Morton, unconditionally whether he
should be aide to get to Washington or
not, but was to the effect that if he should
so far recover as to be able to go to
Washington, he (McDonald) would relieve
him from the labors of daily attendance
by pairing with him, on questions
on which they might be at variance; only c
thii and nothing more."
This, it seems to me, would certainly
put the subject at rest, but on the next .
day 1 found in the Sentinel the interview 1
referred to, and the statement of facts 8
grossly misrepresented. That I may do &
tracts from the article I allude to. In 0
referring to the report of my bating 8
paired off with Governor M., the Sentinel ,
says:
"We have been loth to believe that ,
Senator McDonald oould ba guilty of
such an indiscretion, but he admit* the ,
correctness of the report, and the Demo- .
craticnarty will be compelled to submit 5
to the humiliation with the bent grace it
can command."
After quoting the extract from the *
Journal which 1 have quoted above, it
proceeds:
"This settles tho question, If Gov. M.
is able to go to Washington and should
bo unable to attend tho se?siona of the
Senate, Mr. Mel), will pair with him on i
questions on which they are at variance, g
Thin proposition of Senator McD. to ?
throw away bin vote on account of Mr. .
M'rt infirmities grows out of the fact of
Mr. McD'ti personal regard for Mr. M.,
and Is to repay a similar courtesy extend* .
ed to Senator McD. by Gov. M." '
I am willing to leave it to any fair* ^
minded man if there is one word or syllable
in the Journal's extract that sustains
tho Smtincl in the construction it attempts >
to put on .my conduct, or that furnish ,,
any foundation lor the charge that 1 have
proposed to throw away my vote on ticcount
of Mr. Morton's infirmities. Again,
in conclusion, the Sentinel nays:
'We cherish the hope that Senator ,
McD., in strict justice to the Democrats ?
of Indiana and of the country, will j,
regard it an his duty to relieve himself of ^
the obligations of his pledge, and in this v
way refnfranchise hi* constituents ami
restore Induna to her rightful place in |(
the Senate of the United States." tl
I am at a loss to know why the Sen- t|
linet has indulged in these unjust and
unfriendly criticisms, but I nm not surprised
that some of my politicnl friends,
who may believe in their truth, should r
feel solicitous as to my future course. To J'
all such I will say, I have entered into no '
obligation and taken no pledge that in
the least degree interfered|with a lull and "
faithful discharge of tuy duties as a
Democratic Senator. I have lived j1
nearly all my life in this State and for
more than thirty years I have taken an \
active part in all of tlie political con- "
tests that have occurred in that time. I !
have fought a hundred battles for the
Democratic party, and never ore against
it. I will lie absent, it may be, many
months, and if I shall bo able to make a
short visit to mv home friends in the
meantime, it will be by the favor of Home
political adversary in the Senate. I am G
willing that the put record bs looked
into in judging what my futuro coarse
will be; and although I tnn'y not be able *
to discharge my duly wall the ability that *
others might bring to the tank, you may u
rext a<uur*l you will not be dinfran- 0
ohised in the Senate while I retain my
right to represent you,
