This ended all interruptions from the Taylor men, and
they had good breeding enough attempt raise

specimen of wing dccency.
Giddings made amusing disclosures OF Tayorisn.
He stated that the celebrated Allison letter was written in
Washington in Truman Smiths room, and the joint
production of Smith and Crenden that this well

There is " much proof the other side In fact

Unless the Taylor in Ohio unite with the Van Buren,
men--a proposition being considered by the Wing
State Central Committee Columbus-a union which Mr.
Gddngs is trying bring about say, that unles the
coalition takes place. Cass will carry Ohio by than
$4,000 majority. Giddings pledged Ashtabula county to
Van Buren, by over 2,70O majority.
In view of everything, only in Ohio, but elsewhere
believe General Cass will be elected by the largest
ority that any obtained for the presidency who
had any opposition Democrats Old Licking one more
rally, and the day is Let give Cass and Butler
majority Of 900 in Old Licking
We leave this controversy to be settled between the
parties themselves. Whether the Van Buren, men will
rally on Taylor, or the Taylor upon the Little
Magician may yet be subject of experiment, and an
object OF nrgue but who believes that any reconcile
ment take place with quarres deep any coa
ton be effected among such dscordant elements, and
such anago mist candidates. We have such belief.
