vote for Pierce The wings are not bshiad
hard, and continually drumming up voters,
using every argument for the benefit Of their caad
dates. During the past two months whig and de-
m0crstic meetings have been held almost every
night, the speeches being preceded by The erection
OF an ssb or hickory pole. In almost every street,
as matter OF 90 ursc near some rum shop, stands
hugo polo with a long streamer from the top bear
ing the inscription of either Pierce and King or
Scott ana Graham. 30 numerous have been those
meetings that the old speakers have nearly ex-

will probably poll large democratic vote; but in
THIS CITY the majority viii DO IN favor of the wings.
Within the past week . new paper has boon started
here, devoted TO the cause Of Scott and under the
sponsorship OF Professor Rsney, it Is said that
Greeley has finger ia this concern, aud also the
General Wing Committee at Washington.
Our leyce II crowded with steamboats, waiting for
freight, which Is, at the present writing, rather
scarce. Their is constantly rising and falling and
until il becomes sufficiently high large boatsoannot
regularly. During the past ear Cincinnati has
been greatly improved by tho erection Of many
splendid edoes the majority Of which are tended
for mercantile business. The improvements now in
progress here will average nearly million Of dol
lars. On Third street two extensive bankers are
putting up fine building at a cost of $4,000. 1t

and will be one Of the most elegant structures in
the country.

Fate to venture through the city after nightfal At
a calculation there is a murder committed here eve-
~ week. and the perpetator of the deed allowed to
escape A week since ono Of our public watohmen,
police officers, was assassnated while in the dis
chbrge of his duty. Two men have been arrested,
and held, after IN examination by the Mayor. The
evidence in their case is merely circumstantia. and
in my opinion the real murderer is still at large.
Scarcely night passes but that some moro
OF the oti2e1s knocked down in tho most public
streets AS long as the present loyal condition Of
affairs il in power here, this state Of morals
never be improved. Any man may commit most
aggravated assault here, and escspe any more than
atne of Sl5 or $40. These assaults nightly hnd
daily committed, and so disposed Of by our Mayor.
Horace Greeley has been travelling through our
country, making speeches at wing meetings, and.
