our opinion expressed some days ago is core
oorated by the following views in The Union:
we have inquired OF intelligent men in differ
ent sections OF The country, and the answer is
,hat In The great battle. ground of Ohio The Val
buren Ticket cannot Obtain 100 Democrat,
votes, and thai he will take more Wing (aboli
lion) votes than Gen. Taylor. No sensible mar
snousht before, that Ohio was in any danger O
oe'he iost 10 Cassi now Inc chances are more il

'h"l yam 6ureh's ticket can scarcely get cor
pofafs guard in Maine or New Hampshire
wen 10 New York, some OF our friends contend
tnal u Will lake more woes from The friends o.
zen. Taylor Than from the friends OF Cass; but
y, y, ruin. we had not seriously counted on New
forK. We will carry our ticket withou, her.

we understand iha, from 10, 900 10 Is 600 Wings
10 massachusetts have responded 10 The call for a
convention al Worcester on Wednesday next,
and have declared that they will no, vote for &c.

Town OF tayeue, 10 Tippecanoe county, Indiana.
ooo W higs and 10 Democrats have signed de-
clara'ioh thai they will not vote for either OF The
Nominees.
We hail The movement OF Senator Bright. OF
