Politics IN the State of OHIO
Your reporter begs leave to report, that, pursuant
10 his mission in this instance from the office OF
the Nec York Herald, he finds himself, on this
bright October mornIng, awaiting at Jacktown
the arrival OF the Eastern stage for Columbus, and
seizes The interval Of an hour, TO report upon his
observations thus far, in the Buckeye State.
The Methodist Conference, which had been
slit NC for some days In session, at the nelghbOrng
villa &c of Newark, closed its labors and adjourned
last evening. A number OF the preachers were
soourners at the hotel where put up for the
night. At about ii O'Clock, P. M, the Rough
and Ready Glee Club, with all the instrumental
accompaniment Of band of negro minstrels,
came up and serenaded the brethren with sundry
Taylor songs, adapted TO the most popular Eth
oplan melodies, one of which concluded with the
chorus of
wen put old lack in the White House,
And old Whitley in the White House stable"
In 1874, In expectation OF the election OF Henry
Clay, fine carriage was built at Wheeling, tor
his transportation over the Alleghanies to the
estimate, the vehicle was never employed as de-
signed. We would suggest TO the builders OF said
carriage, if 1t be still hand, to it for old
Zack, as the Rough and Ready Glee Club. of
Licking County, Ohio, appear TO be determined to
take their candidate to the executive mansion
next February.
The TAYLOR wings of Ohio assure us that they
will carry the State, not only tor Ford, their candi-
date for Governor, by many thousands, but that
they will also carry the State for Taylor by from
five TO ten thousand majority. They say that since
Horace Greeley and John M. Bolts have agreed to
support Taylor, he has been gaining rapidly from
the dlsaiected of the wing ranks In Ohio that
the democratic bamburners in the Cincinnati dis
trct, and in Judge date Senator) Tappans district,
{he same Tsppan who furnished the Texas Tyler
treaty and documents TO the Evcning Post, In de-
fance OF the rules of the Senate,) and IN the San
dusky and other districts, will be about an equlva-
lent for the assertions from the wing ranks in the
Western Reserve, including Glddings' district, so
that the Van Buren, free soil ticket will not make
any material drawback upon the wing Presidential
nominees; and that the gains from the democrats,
especially after the Governors election, will swell
up old lacks aggregate vote to a sound majority
of from five to ten thousand.
PEI contra, the democrats are dubious Of their
candidate for Governor, though the most popular
man they could have nominated in the State, be-
cause, il is understood that the mass of the free
.soilers will support the wing nominee; but they
appear saneuine OF the State for Cass and Butler,
by ten or fifteen thousand majority. They say
that Corwn's work in the Western Reserve IN
r. Giddngs, who followed the wagon boy and
undld all his work as he went along. In addition
10 the So free soi loss of the Western Reserve,
the Cass men expect that the wings will suffer
dreadfully from the stay-at-home non interference
Clay men !; but IN this point they may be dlsap-
pointed In one word, while the democrats rather
expect TO lose than to gain their Governor, they
seem TO be quite sangulne OF carrying the State for
Cass by al least 10000 majority
There is no well defined landmark for guessing
the result either for Governor or tor President, In
Ohio. The Governors election, though generally
,conce ded that il will be favorable to the wing can
didate, still depends, to great degree, upon the
Western Reserve, and on the Clay wings, who are
not vet exactly appeased at the doings at Phila-
delrhia. There Is free soil candidate for
Governor; and from the past history Of Mr.. Wei
Ter, expect he will get no support from the sup,
porters of the Buffalo ticket. The chances OF
Ford, therefore, would seem to promise large
majority in the gubernatoral election for tthe
State whig ticket
But there Is a third ticket to be taken into the
estimate for the 9TH of November, and there are
three candidates IN the field. A gentleman who
has been canvassing the State, supposes that Mr.
Van Buren, will not get over 10000 votes IN all
Ohio; that of these, 20 600 will be wings, chiefly
of the Western Reserve and that the proportion
of TO- 600 Will be democrats of various other parts
of the State
But enough for the present. The stage is at the
door. We hope 10 give you some more definite
Information from head quarters tomorrow.
