Ohio politics at present, exhibit varied and interest
ing phase The wings claim her to be the ground upon
which the great hattie is to BIO fought while the demo-
Gratis although they claim they spare her are never
theess extremely anxious to the result For three or
years past the latter have been the dominant party
each year by increasing majorities; but the nomination
Of Gen Scott the Presidency by the wings who has
his stronghold the Reserve, makes the result very
doubtful Both parties the alert, and will exert
every effort to each favorable result The nom
nations Of Pierce and King meet the approval and Will
comm and the support Of all the old line democratshey
will undoubtedly draw the full party strength but
their party cannot be reckoned in clear majority in the
State they are busy at work endeavoring gain
outside support for their candidate The wing nomina
ton the contrary commands the most enthusiastic
support Of the party well of hordes of straggers
camp followers red spirits and white black spirits and
gray who will all labor zeaously its ascendancy at
the coming election. On the Reserve the twenty
thousand free soilcrs. between Scott and Pierce
pr, fer the former-formerly expressed opinions and
the company be keeps being sufficient proofto them that
he is far preferable his democratic competitor Free
sellers and free soil presses do not give him their open
and ayowcd support but they evidently pursuing
line Of conduct that will without doubt, aid him more
than would their outspoken support Fifteen thousand
drawn from the democrats will give the State to
the wings and elect General Scott and, knowing this
the same game Van Buren, Co. played Cas- in 1S4s will
be played with Pierce this year. II Pierce will get
the State Of Ohio, as Cass DID, Hrn.Lpl The free
nizations and do all in their power to add to their
strength This is Of course, only part Of their game
1t very evident that the 8ccessons to that party
during the pre- ent must be from out the demo-
cratic ranks; and hence the management, &C., have
referred to- From the democrats or their candidate
they have nothing to expect while from Scott

everything hope for Therefore, the effect Of their
efforts here will be slightly increased whg vote large

democratic vote to give the electoral vote Of the State to
Scott. Tho game Is being played very fine and nothing

tended to have telling effect 1t Is generally con-
sidered that Hale, Of New Hampshire, will be the
free soil nominee for President The better to Disguise
their plan, he will but he won't stand fire - and
Salmon Chase democratic free soer of this State will
then be given the nomination. For Vice President Mr..
Cleveland of Connecicutwho has not yet given in his

suitable candidate Thus IL will be thSt this ticket

tell in an opposite direction The anti intervention plank
In the wing platform viii give Pierce five thousand votes
here. The 0hoans large majority Of them, strong
sympatbs.ra with Kossuth and the course Of some of

part Of the State too the Kentucky line there Is
strong feeling against General Scott and the infamous
clique who nominated him, and who it Ia thought, con-
troll him. His party there only give him cold support
