The Great Victory In Ohio--Agnin.

The recent trumphs in Ohio have fairly opened the
eyes of the wings throughout the Union Their last
foohod has fallen from under them in the Star of the
West. Gallant Ohio has most nobly opened the canvass
at the head of the Mississippi valley; and the West and
the South through which its noble rivers roll united as
they are by the strongest ties of interest and feeling
will gather around the baotbox in the coming Novem-
Der with UNION, VIGILANCE, and VICTORY for their motto
The democracy of the South and West have stood long
together and the cemened brotherhood of these two
eful sections of Union will hold fast to the great
principles that make them one and indipisible" The
candidates OF the democracy in their midst The en-
nen and distinguished statesman Cass, and the heroic
and chivalrous Butler, each of whom has borne the
standard OF success through the hottest of his counrys
battles, from the great and growing west "West-
ard the star Of empire takes its pay" and we shall look
with abiding confidence for those glorious results in
the approaching November, which party SO thoroughly
organized firm and united so resolute and industrious
alone know how to secure.
The election very close, according to our last bule-
tin of yesterday. 1t may require the precision of
the official returns to ascertain the result But supposing
we are defeated by small majorty-nay, by majority
OF 3,oOoit is one of the most glorious victories which
we have acquired during the campaign The democrats
wings perfectly confident of the election of Ford by
handsome majority The proofs both sides are be-
fore us. Here are some OF them:
On Tuesday last declared that 1--WE had no right TO
expect Ohio. We have never claimed it for governor.
On the contrary if find that we are defeated by less
than twelve or fourteen thousand on the governors
vote we shall be so far from desparng of the result of
the presidential contest to claim the State for Cass
and Butler by greater majority than that by which we
now defeated"
Wereceived private note from the "Seneca Advert
ser" on the 6th-"Weer for Governor will probably be
defeated"
On Friday evening we had private letter from Della
ware, Ohio, of the 9th, which says
THE greatest possible efforts being made by the whig
party to defeat candidate for Congress- Mr. Sweezer
In this thc l0h) congressional district My private opn
ION is that defeat in this State looks us boldly
In the face. You will have learned however all about
Ohio elections before this reaches YOU May the des of
November poend brighter prospects for our party than
the election in October"
But very different were the calculations of the wings
The Cincinnati Chronicle" of the 10th. says: "We cacu
late that Seabury Ford will beat John B. Weller for gov
ernor of Ohio by at least II 900 majority" The "Salem
Register" of the 18th calculates on GLORIOUS Ohio stand
ing lrm" carrying governor and all, and reporting ga
wing gain in every county"
The "Boston Courier" of the 10th avows its i'm
preston "ha there prospect of the defeat of Mr.
Ford"
The ALBANY Atlas (barnburneD takes for granted
that Weller beaten, and arrives the following anu
sing corollaries:
The MORAL of the Ohio election indicated in the re-
turns, is
THAT AN ADVOCATE CAssIsM is OVERWHELMINGLY DE-
fEATED and
THAT AN OPPONENT OF TAYLoRIsM is TRIuMpnANrLY .Us
TANNED.
1T shows that the State can, and friends assure ns it
'''a, be carried for VAN BUREN, in November"
ms at least is very comfortable philosophy but it is
De very much questioned whether the very elements
on which the Atlas counts for will not destroy
both wings of the opposition Certain it is, that Gen.
.ass' trends are more confident OF carrying Ohio than
either Taylor's or Van Buren's
