II Is probable, therefore, that the wings will now
pursue the same policy will refuse TO take their
seats, and thus be compelled to take the inliatory
step TO that revolution which they ascrlbed to
that policy, if acted on by the democrats.
The truth is, we have every reason to apprehend
one of the most trying tests of the stability of
government, owing Its vitality to the control OF
majority, and the peaceful acqulescence of MI
nority, of the people. There is no such acknow-
lodged relation as majority and minority. Parties
entertaining opposite views are arrayed In such
numbers as TO present equal share of all the
elements of right to control. And, my word for
II, before all is settled, Ohio will be convuised
from the river to the lake, and from the eastern
TO the western boundary, and Columbus become
the theatre OF scenes wh'" will cause an interest
.iroug the United States, unparalleled in the
history of our country. No man out OF the Stale
can possibly conceive the depth and heighth OF the
CONFUSION which is in embryo. The masses with,

lead TO any thing beyond a warm and exciting dis
cusslon. But to my certain knowledge, there are
hundreds of men here who are sufficiently CONVEX.
SAINT with the impulses under which the leaders OF
each party are actuated, that, TO their mind, the
chances of actual bloodshed are great indeed The
result of the Presidential contest In this State may
modify the action of the leaders somewhat: II
Taylor carries the State, the democratic champions
will probably relax their claims, and go INTO COM
promise. But, If by chance they succeed IN giving
majority for Cass they will lose sight OF all that
is prudent, and drive their opponents to despera-
ton.
Fortunately, the chances of Taylor are daily be-
coming more manifest. The Van Buren, party is
fast dwIndling down to the old Birney party. Mr..
Clay once gave the opinion that no other wing
besides himself could receive the vote of Ohio
venture to say, that Gen. Taylor will get the vote
OF this State Just as certainly as Mr.. Clay could
have got it, If Taylor does not receive it, Clay
could not have received it. WESTERN SCRIBE.
