away from the polls. The close observer OF
Ohio politics have noticed that to draw out
the entire Wing strength requires some strong
stimulant. At the election last Tuesday we
only had two subordinate State Offices to fill.
The candidates of our opponents were the
present incumbenls, and having filed the sta
tons to which they were nominated, were in
a more favorrble position than their oppo-
nents. BY being around among the people
for some years previous they were enabled to
enlist the personal efforts in their behalf.
Under these circumstances, we went into the
contest to disadvantages. The result shows
that the Wings Of the State did not rally in
their strength. Some counties did nobly, and
got their voters TO the polls. Blu. so many
failed in this that we were beaten in the
State. This was not unexpected. but still
we hoped for a more favorable result.
From every quarter of the State, our let
ters are uniform that Gen. Scott will carry
much larger vote than was given last Tues
day. We have no doubt of this. We have
no doubt that he viii get thousands that then
voted the Locofoco State ticket, and We know
that he will bring out thousands that Gid not
feel interest enough in the limited State :ick-
ct, to go to the polls and vote. We know,
from past experience. that il takes the strong
excitement of Presidential vote to bring out
our full force. The large majority against US
last year induced the belief among our friends
that we should not be able to carry the State
at the October election, and too many Of them
thus let the matter go by default. But on
the second of November, the case will be diff
fersnt A President for four years, is to be
chosen. The keeping of the honor and glory
of the Great Republic is to be entrusted for
that time, either to Gen. ScoTT or FRANKLIN
PIERCE. While they took little interest in the
election Of Judge and a member Of the
Board Of Public Works. knowing as they did
that even success would still leave the Court
and the Board with majority of Locofpcos.
they do feel that the success IF our ticket
at the November election has vast and beue
fetal result depending upon it, OF General
Scott they know. His name and exploits
have filed the world. They are part, and
no small part, of the history of our nation.
that will never die. They know him honest,
capable. faithful They have the guaranty
of the past as security for the future. They
know that our national honor and glory will
suffer no dinnution willie trusted to his
hands. They will have "A sense of security
that all the Pierces in the universe could never
give.
On the other hand. the great mass Of the
people look with dislrust upon the capacity of
4 man who has had favorable position. but
who has dune nothing that entities him to be
remembered By the American people, more
than that of ten thousand other citizens in the
land, Laying aside the principles Of the two
men, the contrast between them is SO great,

influence upon the minds Of thousand of voters
in Ohio.
But when it comes to the question ot Protec-
:ion 20 american industry, or TO the advocacy
Of British free trade; when it is between sup
port OF. and opposition TO the improvement Of
our lake harbOrs and rivers, it cannot be de-
MED that our people do feel a great interest,"
that they desire the triumph of american
over British policy; that they desire the ap-
preparation Of at least portion of the nations
treasure for the benefit OF the Vest. as well
as the East, and that they will SO act and vote
as to bring about this result There is a.
strong Western feeling on these questions.
1t cannot be repressed. 1t will manifest itself
when proper opportunity is presented, and
they understand that that opportunity will be
on the second day cf Norsmber.
The question is asked whether we, the
Wings OF Ohio, expect to carry the State for
Scott, against the result of last Tuesday. We
answer, emphatically YES! We but repeat
the language Of every correspondent who has
written us, and of every man we meet on the
streets. We knoa0 that many thousand will
vote for Scott who voted against Us then
We know that there is a feeling in the State
that will accomplish this result. We give
this assurance to our friends. that no effort Of
ours shall be spared to accomplish, and we
kMow that they entertain the same firm re-
solve. If our opponents, the friends for that
apology for candidate, Pierce, think that
they have the field alone. they wH find them
selUes mistaken. The great 6atfie is get TO be
fought Under our gallant leader. who aerer
fails, we shall triumph. We know that the
american heart is with us-that it ihr"bs
responsVely to the sentiment that he h as so
gallantly sustained our standard in hours Of
peril is deserving our support in this contest
That support he will have. and upon that re-
suit We rely with unshaken confidence.
| We say to the friends Of Scott in Ohio, use
we'll the two weeks yet remaining before the
election day. If you have not yet done it,
lose no time to effect thorough perfect or
ganization. Circulate the documents. Let
your friends. your neighbors know what
ground Pierce occupies on the great practical
questions of the day. Letthem know that he
is in alliance with and the advocate of British
Free Trade. Let them know that he is
pledged to rsto all bills for improving the rivers
and harbors of the West. Let them fully
comprehend where he stands, and the Ameri-
can feeling which is in the breast of patriots
will not fail TO give their votes for Winfield
