Another Handful.

We have received the copy OF an extra, nicely en-
veloped in the folds of the Columbus Standard" a
free soil journal just issued in Ohio. This hand
bill is signed by Messrs. Hamlin s. A. Smith, Westwa-
ter Rice, and Garrard the estate Central Committee Of
the free democracy Of Ohio" and issued Columbus
the 4th instant 1t is dedicated to "the gubernatoral
election in Ohio and processes to assign the
why the freeso party may vote for Gen. Ford. They
put il upon this ground
Gen. Ford nominated, indeed, by wing State
convention, but it months before the dissolution of the
wing party by the Philadelphia nomination, and he
nominated declared and resoute supporter of the Will
mot Proviso kindred anti-savery Since
the nomination of Taylor Gen. Ford has maintained the
positions which he previously occupied. He is still firm
friend of the provsoknown and acknowledged to be such
by ALL whether friends opponents. He has not indeed,
declared for whom he shall in the presidential cleo
but he has given counenance to claim that
| he will vote for Gen. Taylor
1t must be remembered that Gen. Ford and Col Weller
were already nomination when the Independent soil
Convention of Ohio Columbus in June last That
convention, Difference mainly the wishes of the free
soil men the Reserve but greatly influenced Also by the
consideration that thorough organization of the party
could be effected until after the Buffalo convention, adopted
resolution declaring it "inexpedent at that time,
nominate candidate for governor Since the adjourn
the Buffalo convention, State free democratic
convention has been held it being thought pedient
in view of the short interval between that adjournment
election, embarrAss
for members of Congress and the State legislature by
contest for governor which is in Ohio a merely nominal
office.
In the absence of gubernatoral nomination of their
own and in view of the positions of the candidates
already before the people, do doubt that Ford
will receive most Of the Of those free soers who
acted with the wing party the time he nominated.
He will also receive the of who acted with the
old democratic party the time Col Weller nominated
but will not vote for him of the positions
he has taken during the Many votes also, will be
for him by the old liberty men, of his
equivoca opposition to slavery and the black laws during
his service in the State legislature 1t that many
will be withheld both by Taylor and sellers,
of his refusal declare how he will the
presidential election and many votes will be given for Col
Weller, in spite of his positions in favor of Cas- and his
DOCTRINES by freesolers from the old democratic party,
who oH vote for some one, and will for cand
date nominated by their old opponents unless he will
come unequivocay in favor of Van Buren,. No one
hoccpe doubts that large proportion of the free soil
| uiN be given to Gen. Ford.
The election of Gen Ford ,cH therefore indicate the oeak
ness rather than the strength, of Gen Taylor Ohio lie
is Taylor candidate; his election will be no
| rayorism
| IT DELIBERATR STATE OHIO
CAN EVENT BE CARRIED FOR GEN TAYLOR We are
confident OF heavy majority Cass and Taylor both
the counties othe If friends in the
other parts of the State do their whole duty, believe
hst the OF the State be given Van Buren, The
real in Ohio between Van Buren, and Cass The
struggle will be hard, but faith and works will give us the
| victory"
Every indication indeed from Ohio, confirmed as it is
