every thing they have the modesty to clam, throwing
even the Empire State into the bargaln they are uao

Ohio as well as of ~ York. for their Military ChIeftan;
but with these fell Abotonsts for their mseraoe
allies, they cannot, at present ADVISED carry e

truth of this position in relation TO Ohio, we lay before
readers the following extract of letter Just recev-
ed in Richmond from distinguished Virgnan, who is
almost conversan with the politics of the State rs
one of her own citizens, and who writes from Conm-

"Fr0m Columbus Ohio, Feb ln.
81 was much gratGed TO find from the newspapers
this morning, that your prediction of the election OF
Mr. Rives to the U. S. Senate has not been verihea
With the materials of which the Assembly is composed,
they ought to have elected Democrat. The Jealous
support given by the Wings Rves after their former
declarations in relation to him, ought to bring that party
into disrepue with every COOL rejecting and unbiased
patriot; and it will do An election ought to have
been made STILL | am pleased that it has been sent
back for the action of the People. | hope shall be
back to Virginia in time to give my aid in putting the
seal of eprobaton such acts OF treachery
as have been perpetrated by Rives In Virginia we
have clear, firm and overwhelming majority, IN iavol
of the Democratic cause and only wants prudent and
discreet arrangements to call it into action and to give
final quieus to Federal Whiggery
ssThe Harrison men here making great eIertions
to forward their cause and all that can be effected by
pomp parade and chicanery will be done. Still do
not thin. tey can succeed, especially if they be
met bv the Democrats cooy, firmly and discreetly.-
But the latter have very large majority and IS
not often that we very large maores act with
great discretion. We have, therefore, something to
fear this account.
81 see that political our hopeful Senator,
nued to vote for Rivcs, notwithstanding his pledges
of honor that if he could be made TO believe that Rves
was hostile Van Buren,, aught but the Sub
sury, he would vote against him. The day OF retrbu-
ton Isl however, near at hand, and TINS must De our
present consolation.
The following extract from the ST. Clalrsvle Ga
zett of the 22d (only Saturday last confirms every
thing, that we have recently heard about Ohio:
"HEAps ur.-The Democracy are awake. Accounts
contn ne flow in upon that shall beat our OPP
moments all but to death The fasifcations of the

Harrison and Tyler, ont TO be fabricatons OF the
brain The changes hear of on the other side OF
the question What changes the eds MAKE are In teir
own ran Ks from Feds TO political Abolitionists.
"Anairl we say-HEADs UP! Democracy is on the
increase. We will prove it clear as MONDAY when
the election arrives. The people ready for the
question. The Federal meetings have reused our
friends and they will catch ia tartar, when we go to
the polls Let every man do his duty and harrison and
Abolitionsrn Frustrated forever
sOrganize, meet together, let the friends ofDemocra
CIV and Equal Rights Ego ahead" and the victory is
ours. Give long pull, strong pull, and pull all
together on the eth of March"
We shall beat the "Hurrah Boys" at last-and will
really make good for ourselves the Delphc toast
which was given by Mr.. Clay in the incompatible din
ner of Browns Tobacco Factory on Tuesday last "lhe
4th March, ls41-to be memorable in our annals as
the 4th March, Solve do not vouch for the
words Of the Orator-but such understand is the
spirit of the oast-Yet it wants point for il deals IN
eouvocalion Mr.. Clay intended TO commemorate the
4th March, l54o by the victories of the Wings The
Democracy will try to illustrate 1t by their own ri
unlphs over the Wings.
