THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO.

The Columbus Journal assures us tina,
" the thing is being done in the State Of
Ohio" and that We shall shortly have no.
thing more to complain Of in regard TO the
apathy Of the Wings, who are coming up
to the work and lending their energies to
SECURE thorough organization.
The Convention at Mount Vernon, on
Saturday week, to hear Mr.. Corw,n. is
pronounced the largest ever held in Knox
county ; and the gathering a, Wooster is
described to have been tremendous. The
people poured in from all quarters, and for
two hours and half Mr.. Corwin electri.

tuesday, in council with at least five thou.

WING ELECTORS.
Moro advice to Wings.

You will be told that Taylor Is getting
unpopular the truth loving Democrats
will tell you, iha, through charity and cour.
tesy they will concede to you four or five
States for hun, and that you leave them no.
thing to do, they will beat you so easily.
When they talk thus, be assured they are
frightened they do not believe wha, they
say themselves, and are only Dragging to
keep their spirits up. Ii is all like the
tale Fals,aff told Henry the fifth about the
Seven men in buckram," and they will
defcat you about as much as The valiant
jack did the noble Percy. Don't be alar.
med q, their prophecies, nor be daunted by
their chivslry; their valour is Of that
stamp drawn BY Shakespeare in his char.

You will also DO told, about the barmo.
Nous Democracy and the spill, up Wings /;
when they speak Of harmony, ii is sure ev.
dence there is crack in the walls Of the
Democratic temple, they are only endea-
vourlng to divert your attention from the
weak spot; When they speak Of splits in
the Wing party, lie, them poin. to any such
opposition to the main Wing wing by fac
,ions, as the Barnburning Democratic fac.
tons, WiImot Faction as in Pennsylvania
Yancy in Alabama, &C., &c.
There never was a more alarmed set oil
fellows than these Democrats are, about
now and they know the true policy, in q
contest, is not TO lei their trepda,ion be
known and to hide it they will tell any kind
Of tale to diver, your attention. Just al

Their Joy was TraAsient.

The Democrats ony bad about . week
or so, one issue Of their wecklies work
regard 10 Mr.. Clay's position through The
action Of the New York meeting. Among
other things, Judging Mr.. Clay by their
own weak vessels, or wifuly wishing to
traduce him and the Wing party, they said
he would write lette, accepting nomi.

them flat on their backs, but they will be
up again, and at their work as busily as
ever, forging and circulating oil manner Of
startling developments, ""Impor'ant Dis.

All we have to say is, Wings be on your
