THE PROSPECT IN OHIO.
Cheering for Taylor.
CASS AT HOME.

II Will De remembered tnat tue w dSHiiigtoh u
nion very recently published an estimate with re-
gard to the next Presidency. in which Gen. Cass
was elected by majority of seven votes. But in
order to accomplish this result, the editor Of the
official classed the Wing State of Ohio. with its
twenty three electoral votes, for the Baltimore
nominee The absurdty OF such calculation was
so apparent, that even many of the friends of the
Administration said that the Union had made a
sad blunder--had indirectly given up the contest.
At the last Presidential struggle, the majority for
Mr.. Clay in Ohio, was 594O At that time, too,
it should be remembered, the Ani-Slavery party
was regularly in the field in that State, and polled
$3.50 votes On what principle. therefore, Ohio
should be put down as Loco Foco State, we
are puzzled to conceive We have not doubt as
to the result, and believe that will go for Taylor
and Fillmore, and by larger Wing majority than
it gave in 1914. This belief is founded on infor-
nation from the best sources. The Wing press
there is perfectly united and advocates the Phila-
delphia nominees with zeal and enthusiasm. Mr..
Corwin has taken the stump, and his powerful ell
oquence and great popularity cannot but exercise
a most salutary influence Ohio we regard as
one of the most decided Wing Stats in the Union;
and it is therefore that we feel such entire conf
is, indeed, perfectly plain. He will carry every
State that the Wings carried in 1874, amounting
in all to iO5 electoral votes. He will also carry
New York and Louisiana-42 electoral votes.-
These will form an aggregate of l47, or one more
than enough to elect. But in addition, the pros
pect is highly favorable in Georgia, in Virginia. in
Pennsylvania. in Florida, and several other States.
Even in Michigan, the chance for Taylor is by no
means discouraging. Only yesterday, we received
a Detroit paper, the Daily Advertiser which con-
tained the following:
JACKSON, Michigan, June 29th, ls4s
Dear Sir--* = The people of this
State are wide awake on politics. There are a
great many Anti Cass Democrats. Should or could
The elections come off this week, he would be de-
feated in his own State. The Wings are much
better united on their candidate, and feel confident
of success.
You know that am radical Democrat, but
cannot support Gen. Cass for the Presidency. He
plays a double game, which despise in any man,
and he has no sympathy for the Barnburners.
If you have any Democrats in your State, reck-
oning upon the election of Cass. you tell them he
cannot be elected. Tell this from me, that he
cannot carry his own State.
Yours truly, l. L. TOBEY,
E. H. PORTER, Esq, Charlemont, Mass.

Of failure Of Cass Meeting
Failure Of a Cass Meeting.
The Locofocos of Lenawee Co. called "Mass"
Meeting on the 18th, which was heralded far and
wide as something that was to be" great affair.
The Free Press urged and begged the faithful to
be on hand, and talked about making arrange
ments" with boats and railroads to carry the i'm
mense crowds that we're going from here and " all
along the way" We had made up our mind that
from 90 to $4,000 people were to be
there. "Several distinguished orators" were an
and great preparation made for great
outpourng of Castles from all parts of the State
and adjoining States. Well, the 18th arrived-the
$ Mass Meeting proved perfect failure-so much
so that even the Free Press is ashamed to notice
it, and never has to this day told the world the re-
suit of that tremendous meeting it was agitating a
few days since. That the world may know some-
thing of it we subjoin some account of it from the
Adrian Expositor
(" At an early hour immense crowds of from to
6 persons might be seen gathered around all the
corners of the streets where Main and Maumee
cross-there eyes enthusiastically turned towards
a cotton sign Of "Cass and Butler" in front of
IS Union Hail." This sign tapered towards a
point and pointed south-an ominious sign.

different towns began to pour into the village
1t was impossible for us to behold all the immense
trains of carriages coming from all points of the
compass suffice it to say, that they came in al
most endless lines of teams of from one to sir in
number" eo ai
(The enthusiastic Cassocracy of Blissfeld uni
ted with those of Palmyra and Raisen came on
one wagon, with magnificent band Of music, con-
sisting of one superannuated banjo)
The Expositor states that the cheers were Civ
en- in the most orderly manner possible, without
any ''noise and confusion. The total number in
attendance around the speakers stand where ap.
pies, soda, ginger pop, ginger bread and raw whs-
key were the principle attractions, is said to have
been from to 300. including Cass men, Taylor
