THE OHIO ELECTION.

OHIO Wing PresS.--We have been at
tenhveIy collecting the opinions OF the
Ohio Wing Press for the last four or five
days, and shall be able to present these
opinions, in condensed form, on Friday.
FROM what we can gather from these cX-
presSons of opinion, we are led 10 the H.
reslstible conclusion, that the Wings Of
OHIO, in the late contest, "TiMELY SUFFER-
ED THEMSELVES TO BE BEATEN p There

selves immortal honor-imOng which -
Guernsey in too many other portions
Of the State, the Wings seem to have been
utterly paralyzed. 1t is not our purpose
to inquire into the causes of this most un-
gracious and most lnelpedlent suplneness.
neither is it our intention to read a honlly
upon the subject; bat he results Of the re-
cent election, compared with those Of the

Owing to the pecuatary pressure, both IN
