The first article of the Observer to which REFER
is in the first editorial column Of that paper and is
headed Ohio Election" in which the Washington
Union and the Wilmington Journal, and such like

election of Wood the democratic candidate for Gov

northern wings more hostile, and the northern de-
mocrats more friendly TO the south. We do not often

article beaded "Our Natural Allies" 10 reply 10 and
expose what considered ungenerous attack up
on them by the Observer, that paper quoting the New
York Express authority. The whole matter in
question was, that democratic county convention
held in Tamany Hall, New York. had laid on the Ia
BILE certain resolutions offered by MIR Wheeler, of
the 15,h Ward of that city. The fact is admitted 1t
