nance 10 any claim 'ha' NC VIII vote Ivi General
Taylor.
'Since the adjournment of The Buiiao Con-
vention, no tate Free Democratic Convention
has been held, it being thought inexpedient, in
view OF the shorl interval between that adjourn
menl and The Stale election, TO embarrass the
Free soil canvass Tor members of Congress and
The Stale Legislature, by contest for Governor,
which is, in Ohio. merely nominal office.
"The free Democracy are therefore, without
candidate tor Governor.
In the absence of q gubernatorial nomination
of their own, and 10 view of the positions Of
the two candidates already before the people, we
do not doubt that General Ford will receive
MOST OF THE VOTES OF those FREE soILERs who
actei with tho Wing party at the time he was
some who acted with the old Democratic party
a, the time Colonel Weller was nominated, but
will not now vote for him on account Of the po-
sitons he has taken during the CANVASS. Many
votes. also, will be cast for him By the old iber-
ty men. on account Of his unequiyocal opposi-
ton to Slavery and the Black laws, during his
service in The State Legislature. II is true, thai
many votes will be withheld, both by Taylor
men and free sellers, on account of his refusal
10 declare how he will vote at the Presidential
Weller, in spite OF his positions in favor of Cas-
and his doctrines, by free sellers from the cd
Democratic party, who will vote for some one,
and will not vote for candidate nominated oy
their old opponents, unless be will come out I'M
equivocaIIy in favor of Van Buren,. No one,
however, doubts that large proportion OF the
free soil votes will be given TO General Ford.
"Thess are the positions of the respective par
lies in the State at this election. II is probably
safe to infer that CAss WILL RECEIVE LARGE
PORTION OF TIKI VOTE WHICH WILL NOW BE GIVEN
FOR WELLER, and it is probable that the MASS OF
THE VOTE poa FoRD WILL BE GIVEN TO VAN Blu

test there is between Cas- and Van Buren,"
