BARNBURNERIssI IN OHIo.--The Cincinnati
Chronicle thinks that the union consummated be-
tween the abotionists and banbumers of that
city, in opposition to both Taylor and Cass, is more
likely to inure the locofocos than the wings.
Both these fact ons-thc abolition and barnburners
having voted against the wings In 1874. the
latter acting with the ocofoco party, and the for
mer under a separate and independent organza-
ton, now that they are united, VIII hereafter act
together as a separate and distinct party. They can
affect the interests OF no party very seriously I'M
less it be the locofocos whose strength will be
weakened IN proportion TO the number OF barn
burners that iorsake them.

held in Cincinnati on the evening of the ist INST.
TIE LOUISIANA DELEGATES AND GEN. TAILOR

leans Courier thus hits the Bulletin, the wing Tay
Tor organ 1.-THE Bniien declares that Mcssrs
Winthrop and Stuart had no right TO make public
any assurances given to them IN private conversa-
ton by General Taylor. II they had no right TO
make them known, what right had Messrs. Pey
ton, Built &c, to publish the substance OF General
Tay lor's conversation with them Both parties
were clothed with equal auhority--they were both
self-apponted, and both are friendly to the Gene
rail-.

Numbers of the old democrats are going for hun.

TENNESSEE wing editors in Tennessee ap-

Eagle, of the 9th OF June, expresses itself as fol-

mountains and valleys, for TAYLOR and Fillmore.
Ratlficauo meetings are being held in the coun-
ties generally, and tornado OF enhu slasm is
sweeping down all remnants OF opposition to Gen.
Taylor. In Columbia, the home Of Mr.. Polk, an

largest and most animated meeting ever congrega-

truth is our opponents IN Tennessee might as well
ground their arms at once in this fight, and sur
render at discretion, for Old lack will capture
most of them before November"
