SIR have taken some pains to ascertain the position
and prospects OF the political parties in Ohio in the pres.
ent campaign The democratic party better
united and more enthusiastic and confident of success in
The Stale IN the presidential election. The majority for
Cas- and Butler over Taylor and Fillmore in Ohio cannot
fall short OF twenty thousand The whg party is disaf-
ected and dsprted throughout the State, and the
Western Reserve utterly dsorganzed on the national
election The iree-s oP movement will make large ac-
SESSIONS TO the strength OF the abolition party chiefly
from the ranks of the wing party. The abolition vote
VIII probably be more than double its strength in 1914
Mr. van buren's disoganzlng movement has aroused
deep and widespread Indignation among the democrats
| in Ohio.
On the issues at the State election, which takes place
on the second Tuesday of October circumstances are d-
ferent The abolition or Gree soo party have made no
nomination Tor governor, but, by coalition with the
wing party have agreed TO support Ford the wing cand-
presidential election Weller, the democratic candidate
for governor has taken bold manly and independent
position In favor OF Cass and Butler, while Ford. his
vote for lay or Van Buren, although il is very well
asceaned that his friends have given assurances
to the abolltionsis that he will not vote for Taylor,
while they have privately assured the Taylor wings that
he is for Taylor In this position of non commalism
taken BY Ford, the wing candidate, the wings and abo
honlsts in Ohio have consummated coalition on the
pending gubernatoral contest IT, therefore, this wing
and abolition candidate for governor in Ohio be elected at
the State election IN October il must not be taken as an
indication OF the result of the election in Ohio on the
presidential contest The result of the contest for gov
ernor in Ohio is at least doubtful, while all intelligent
and candid wings admit that Cass will beat Taylor
in this State.
The Taylor wings undertake to prove Gen Taylor to
be opposed TO slavery in principle, and in favor of the
Wilmot proviso. Mr.. Corwin, accompanied by Judge
Walker, of Cincinnati, has recently travelled over the
northern part OF Ohio attending political meetings
have Information, from which / can rely on,
that at Wooster, in Wayne county, Judge Walker in his
speech informed the people that che had seen letter
from Gen Taylor in the hands OF highly respectable
gentleman before he left Cincinnati, declaring that he
was opposed to slavery IN principle, and that he would
not veto bill containing the Wmot provlso" At Nor
walk, in Huron county, Mr. Corwin in his speech, made
the same statement in substance. AT Sandusky City and
at Mansfield Mr.: Cowin, in his speeches, qualified the
witness himself in behalf of Gen. Taylor; that he had
certain information and knew the fact that Gen TAYLOR
was in favor OF the Wilmot proviso, &c.
Extract of a letter, dated
COLUMBUS, September 30, ls4S.
There is particle of doubt that Cass and Butler
will carry the State OF Ohio by large majority In
gard TO Weller, it is somewhat doubtful but we by no
means despair OF elecAg him The sky looks brighter
than it did two weeks But say again YOU that
as any State in this Union The sheriff Of Ashta ii
county is in Columbus He says that Ashtabula will
give from 800 to 1900 majority for Van Buren,. Mr..
John Field, who you know is very strong whg, has
been IN Cleveland most of the season. and he says that
Ford will get large majority on the Reserve, but Cass
will beat Taylor 5000 there
| will mention an incident He said he was out at
Bedford, (fteen miles from Ceveland) and saw II men
who for Van Buren, and he took pains to ascertain
their former politics. lie found l6 had been wings, and
one democrat We shall do well in this county. We
confidently expect to carry the whole ticket.
If Weller is beat for governor, do not let that alarm
you-for the more Weller is beaten, the will be
for Taylor This may seem strange logic to YOU but it
is true. If it should so happen that Ford should have
large majority the Taylor men would claim il triumph
for themselves and that would make the ree-soil men
work the more for Van Buren, The democratic party
were better united than at the present time The
wings have made proseytes from our party have
they attempted it, They have had much as they could
do to keep their own party together;
p S There is not wing in Columbus that will bet
that Taylor will carry the State
Indiana.
TERRE HAUTE. September 90, ls4s
On the 2lst nst | attended the democratic barbecue
given at Paris in the State of Illinois heavy rain and
the extreme ncemency Of the weather prevented the at
tendance of those living at distance, yet the meeting
was one of the largest and certainly the enthusiastic
have attended since ls40 1t was in fine contrast too
ness and no ro-no disgusting exhibitions of wild beasts
mo doggerel songs-no appeals were made to the pas
slons and no bad passions were exhibited. The real
voters had come together in thousands to interchange
sentiments and renew their of fidelity to those
principles upon which the welfare of country de-
ponds
Gov. French was present, but was prevented from
speaking BY temporary illness, also Mr.. Young,
the member of Congress elect from that district. Flo
quent speeches made by JOS A. Wright and others
from Indiana, and Messrs O. B. Fickin, McRoberts,
Hays, Ferguson and others, of Illinois. All of the ad.
dresses were repete with argument devoted to the dis
cussion OF principles and received with the most
lively expressions of satisfaction Grafton F. Cookery
who has several times been elected TO the Indiana egs-
laure from the strong wing county of Vigo made a
short and able speech, in which he enounced his allie
glance to the whig party and declared his determine
ton support Cas- and Butler The reasons given
! by Mr. C. for abandoning the wing ranks were apt
and striking. He said that General TAYLOR had ad.
vanced but one prncple-oppositon to the exercise of
the veto power-and that on this point he dametrl-
cally opposed to HIM His Remuneration of the unpatri-
otto Of the wing leaders in opposing the war; and
then shameless abandonment of principles was pungent;
and his praise of the of the democratic party and
of General Cass cordial and well expressed The
speech was frequently interrupted with enthusiastic
cheering
1t would have done your heart good to have been
present and witnessed the aror, the confidence and de-
termination which spoke in the countenances the ap-
pauses, and conversation of the vast concourse
banlshed. When one of the speakers asked what ma
ority Illinois would give for Cass and Butler the reply
was, in thunder shout, "twenty thousand !" am CON
iden it cannot fall short of fifteen thousand.
Hereafter, if wing should express doubt that Cass
will carry every State in the northwest he will only be
laughed at for his pains Our response to the Baltimore
nomination in November will be unmistakable and our
maorites will be by thousands and tens of thousands
