THE PROSPECT IN OHIO.

The Cincinnati Gazette OF Thursday says !:
/" Our advices from the eastern and northern parts
of the State are encouraging to the Wings. Ford
will get as large majority as any candidate for
: Governor ever did on the Reserve, and TAYLOR
: will also have a majority. The Friends in the
eastern counties, who were dissatisfied with TAY-
: LoR, prefer him to CAss or VAN buren, decidedly,
and are coming out in his support. In the south
ern, CENTRAL and southwestern portions ofthe State
: we are informed that the Wings are wide awake,
and gaining strength daily. Ohio will do her duty"

PROGRESS OF DoRRIsM IN OHIO.

The Locofocos, in Convention in Cincinnati
omo) on Saturday week, determined in favor of
the Dorrrevolutlon-tod disregard the apporlionment
law OF last winter. They nominated Senator
and i've Representatives for the county at large,
wholly dsregarding the two representative districts,
and neither of the candidates resides in the first
district The plan OF the revolutionizers, as pub
lished, is to elect as many Locofoco members as
they can, and for the members elected 10 break up
the Legislature by refusing to take their seats, and
leaving the Houses without quorum. To carry
this plan into operation, they rely upon the Town
ship Trustees to receive and count the votes. and
The Clerk Of the Court of Common Pleas to give
them the proper certificates, the law and their oaths
of Office to the contrary Notwithstanding. Many of
the Trustees have already declared that they will
follow the law and their oaths and reject every vote
for representative with more than three names upon
it: and we misapprehend the moral honesty of the
Clerk if he, also, is not found in the discharge of
the duty imposed upon him by the law and his
oath, instead of following the orders of this body
of disorganizers. Cincinnati Gazette.

The SEVEN YEARS WAR.-Ths war ragged
from 1856 to 1863, and almost all the European
Powers were engaged in it, 1t originated in a dis
pute between England and France relating to the
Canadas the French encroached on tract of coun-
try claimed by the English, in the wilderness, un-
cultivated and uninhabited, excepting by savages
and this war has often been called "a strife about
so many acres Of snow." The miseries which it
occasioned in the interior of Europe have been sell
dom equalled; and at length the Grand Sgnor in
vited the European Ministers at his Court to hold
conference, and, after stating to them the great
adherence ne felt at the bloody war then raging
between so many Christian nations, offered his
mediation for effecting general peace The offer
of the Mahommedan peace-maker was not accept
ed but rejected With pride and scorn, and HOSTILE
ties were continued until pocerty brought peace.
This war is represented by historians as one of the
most successful that England was ever engaged in.
One hundred ships Of war were taken from the
enemy or destroyed, and twelve millions sterling
acquired in prize money but these glorious sue
cesses cost the nation two hundred and fifty thou
sand human lives, and upwards of one hundred and
eleven millions sterling The slaughter of the OPP
ponents and allies Of Great Britain in this dreadful
contest was little less than eight hundred thousand
men i-B0sfon Journal.

IOWA ELECTION FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

Our letters and papers from Iowa admit the
election of SHEPHERD LEFFLER Member of Con-
gress from the Second district, but at the same time
positively assert that DANIEL F. MILLER (Whig) is
elected from the First district. There was, it seems,
some doubt whether the district Of country in which
the Mormons are located would be organized SO as
to allow their vote to be given. The Locofocos
were afraid that the Mormons might take it into
their heads to vote the Wing ticket, and this made
them cautious about the matter but appears from
the Des Moines Valley Wing that the Mormons
did cote at two precincts in Monroe county, to
which the territory was attached for election pur-
poses; that Locofocos superintended this arrange
ment; and that Monroe county, although returned
as giving majority Of % votes for THOMPSON (Lo-
cofoco) for Congress, actually gave MILLER (Whig)
majority Of 493, and elected him.

tser charged Gen. Taylor with blasphemy. II
subsequently, turned out that Gen. is accuser
had been rebuked in Mexico by Old lack for rob-
bling he,a-roost, and indicted in Columbus for
stealing a hog!
Another man makes charges against General
Taylor in the Louisville Democrat He boasts that
he served at Buena Vista, was Wing when he
entered the service, but now goes for Gen. Cass.
One Of his comrades in the Louisville Journal, de-
mics that the man was ever a Whig and accounts
for his hostility to Gen. Taylor thus:
"When were about to attack the enemy the battle q
Bucna Vista, and every other man was his post eager and
ready for the contest this NJ was trying hide under the hill
side and to keep from the engagement and Of the officers
Of our company had draw his sword upon him before he

OHIo.-JAMEs Mason, of New Lisbon, is the
Wing candidate for Congress in the 18th district,
composed of Columbana, Carroll, Jefferson, and
part of Mahonng counties. The district is at pre-
sent represented by DR.. Geo. Fries, Loco.
JOSHUA R. GIDDNes, the present Representative
of the goth Congressional district of Ohio, has
been nominated by the Wings for reelection. The
district comprises the counties of Ashtabula Cuya-
hoga, Geauga, and Lake, and is always Wing.
At the same Convention, JOHN w. ALLEN, de-
cided Taylor man, was nominated as the Wing can
date for Elector for that district.

FoREWARNED, FoREARMED.

The Vermont Waterman warns the Wings of
that State that coalition has been formed by a
union of the leaders of the ultra abolitionsts with
those who have heretofore been the supple tools of
the slave power. Their purpose is to coalesce on
the State, Congressional, Senatorial, and town tick
cts, with view to break down the Wing party, to
secure coalition majority in the Legislature, and
TO divide the State offices and United States Sena-
torship among few restless and ambitious dema-
gogues, who have never yet joined any party but to
rule it for their own advantage, and to 6etray it
when they could not rule.

The free soil Wings of Western New York will
not be seduced from their allegiance by the new
Van Buren, somerset. The Rochester American
thus testifies concerning Monroe county:
"We have reliable adyces from all parts Of this county
which concur in the statement that very few indeed of the
Wings will withhold their support from Gen. TAYLOR. In one
two localities dsaecon has been nuured by con-
siderable effort the part Of the Barnbuners but when it
to voting for Martin Van Buren, the dose is much too
strong for Wing somachs We are informed from all quar-
tiers that Gen. Taylor WW gain largely from the ranks Of
the L0cofocOs."

We have the high qualification of announcing to
the friends OF he distinguished Representative OF
the Seventh Congressional district Of Georgia, the
Hon. A. H. ScEPHENs his unanimous nomination
by the Wing Convention of that district for re-eec-
ton. This j; as gratifying to Mr.. S. and his nu-
frients out of the district as il is honorable
to the sterling Wings of the invncible Seventh.
Mr.. s. confes honor upon the station he occupies,

people of the United States expected to take in it,
We understand that during the last few days, several in
tervews have taken place. the Planters House. between an
envoy agent Of the States Of Northern Mexico which are
expected sanction the declaration Of independence and

dered Gem SHIELDS whether he has accepted it. we
prepared assert positively We have, however,
believe that the command has been pored to him.
In fact, know that his services have been confidently
counted by many who have embarked in or disposed
to aid the movement We also know that Dr. s., the
envoy above alluded left this city yesterday for New Or
leans, thus abandoning the alternative of rendering the
mand to another distinguished volunteer brgader general
Of the late Mexican war; whom it intended to proer
il in the Of Gen. Shieldss decinaton. All the ndca
tons that the General has accepted the command OF the
Buffalo Hunt" and will place himself at the head of the
"oue Owls At least such is the impression of those who
take interest and involved in the of the
PRISE For part, doubt the probability of the
General ever accepting the command of such expedition,
although he may have given to that effect seat
in the United States Senate for six years much
Portable position Of the probable chances Of attaining this
elevation presume the General will satisfy himself before
he volunteers his services either for Ireland the Sierra

Now that this movement is becoming notorious and more
extensively known, have curiosity to know how the
President will treat it, Will he let pass without his inter-
ference Or, will he make public demonstration against

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

JAMES s. CALHOUN having been lately nominated
as the candidate of the friends of General TAYLOR
in the Second Congressional District of Georgia,
now represented by Mr.. IvERsoN, DEMOCRACY he
has accepted the nomination in letter in which
he says that he shall proceed at once, in their re-
spective counties, to meet the opponents of that
true patriot, Gen. ZACHARY TAYLOR, upon whose
PLATFORM the Constitution of the United States, he
plants himself, and from which impregnable posi-
ton he will not retire. He means, in word, to
do his whole duty.
This is an example worth following.

TAYLOR IN MASSACHUSETTS.

The nominations made at Buffalo cannot have
much effect upon the Wings of Massachusetts, for
they already begin to see the folly of voting for
one Locofoco in preference to another. The
Hampshire Gazette states that all the gentlemen in
Franklin county who signed the call for the Wor-
cester Convention, save ID. w. Alvord, have con-
cluded to support TAYLOR and FILLMORE.
We have further evidence OF this reaction in the
proceedings of very numerous and spirited meet
ing held by the Wings Of Springfield on Thursday
evening last, at which the Hon. CHAs. STEARNs
acted as chairman. On taking the chair
"Mr srEARss remarked after the organization had been
completed, that il well known that few weeks since he
consented to preside political meeting in this hail. (he
one at which Mr. Gddngs poke but on taking the chair
at that time he distinctly stated that he did not to
init himself to that any other movement party In COM
with majority of his Wing citizens, he believed,
he did not feel satisfied with the nomination of the Phadel-
Pha Convention But knowing that hc should feel bet
ter satisfied with any other nomination that might be made
he chose to watt before deciding what course he should pur
in the present campaign He had waited, and he had
to say that HE WAS STILL WnIG And (said he) am
going to do what promote the election Of the Wing
candidateshe candidates Of the Philadelphia Convention
do this because convinced that in their election
best be secured The best Interests of the United Satesthat
"e StOO ana eLpec1enJTOm HeT ete0dttOHto ice
than from that Of any other candidates betore The
country"
The meeting, which was one Of the largest ever
held in Springfield, was subsequently, addressed by
Mr.. AsHMUN, who, in most effective speech of
two hours, took calm and dispassionate review
