SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER Is, Is4s.

In the ntelgencer of yesterday, alusion is made to
certain whig circular issued by the Wing State Central
Committee of Ohio. indicating that bargain had been
onsummated previous TO the late election in that State
between certain leaders OF the freeso party and the
Iocoocos as they are terned, by which the free. soil
to be given to Weller in exchange for the loco.
loco vote which TO be given to the free soil candi-
late for the legislature in certain counties
We certainly know nothing of any such arrangement
nor do we believe any such made. On the
contrary, numerous controlling causes might be as.
signed had we the space the leisure to enter up
on the investigation OF ii, by which the wing army
wa. so efectualy routed and driven back in confusion
and discontinue in the late Ohio democratic triumph
The truth is the late Mexican war has been popu.
lar there as those who have undertaken TO denounce
and rdicule it, like Corwin and his aids, have most Sc
rously and sorey experienced. The patriotic Weller
was in the battles OF that He fought bravey, and
with great credit and success, at the sorming of Mon
erey and he returned his native State with the bright
aures of the valiant and intrepid soldier blooming upon
his brow This essential fact bad powerful influence
upon the canvass and produced most of the impoan,
changes which have resulted in The late glorious contest
The Intelligencer contends that the truth OF the com.
binaton referred TO- and the degree Of that at
in the teegaphc reports that have reached from that
State; which, to use the complimentary language of our
neghbors of the lntellgencer chad the happy effect of
raising our locofoco neghbors from the depths Of des
pondency into which the result in Pennsylvania and the
earlier returns from Ohio, had plunged them" The con.
Guiding portion of the Inelligencers article, however
has the peculiar merit of putting ''the boot entirely on
the wrong leg" The editors of the Inteligencer put
forth the argument 'that if this unnatural coalition
should have proved successful in the State elections how
utterly hopeless must it be the presidential ISSUE
when the two factions will have TO dissolve partnership
and fall back their respective canddaesthe free
soers on Mr. Van Buren,, and the hunkers on General
Cass"
Now this falling back" is going torward. The very
element of the contest is the fact that the abolonss
united on Ford for governor, and in the approaching
presidential contest they will all, nearly, go for Mr.
Van Buren, The full strength of this party is proba-
bly, some 3d. 900 or 10000, nneteen-tweneths Of whom
were original wings, and belonged to that party
So that the very reverse of the picture here presented
will be produced at the November elections. The entire
abolition party, with scarcely one solitary exception as
we learn into the support of Ford, because he
himself an abolton,st He also received the wing
of the State and it the knowledge of this very fact
that led all of our friends to look with such certainty
upon Weer's defeat. We hope however, that this will
not turn out to be true Our next dispatches may tell
the entire story.
We hope on this one point the editors of the InteDi
gencer will consider themselves answered. and leave the
proof the only tribunal to which appeal can be
made-the polls of the election on the It'll of the coming
November
