Matters in this section Of the political world re-
main in sfGtm quo nothing Of the xore and excite
ment the wings intended to raise over the nolnna-
ton Of General Scott can be started. The people
seem returning to sOberness and common sense; aad
appear content to remain at their daily occupations,
and let wire pulling, intriguing politicians, pipe for
themselves. 1t can be said with safety, that the
voters of Ohio--if there are any that do-act from
principle and have generally settled convictions by
which to govern their political action There very
few of the fteemen of this State hut what are hrmy
decided as to the manner in which their vote will be
cast in November consequently, all the blowing
Of political trumpeters will have but very slight
effect upon the result of the election. Ia this age
of literature when information Of all kinds is freely
| and cheaply impaired through our newspaper
presses the people are rare to be found who will be
| gulled by the clap-.rap Of designing, speech
| making politicians. Their Yankee spirit and indie
pendence reyots at the idea Of being led about by
| every wind Of political doctrine. Bat our latter
| Presidential campaigns have demonstrated that IN
| no way can the people avoid imposition and hum
| bug. If they are not to be led away by the Sc
ductive sophistry Of the stump orator, then the
presentatives Of our interests in the national Con
| gress lend their aid Of the franking privilege
to promote the same philanthropic end. During the
Presidential Of lS4S, this species OF cleo
pioneering fraud began to be most extensively prac
ticed; the country was flooded with every possible
species Of bogus political con and thousands Of the
voters cheated into the support ofen whose prnci-

to their interests. But the imposition thrust upon
the people then is but to this of the present year
what the flicker of the candle is to the flaming of
volcano. 1t is utterly beyond the range OF possibil-
ity to estimate tho amount Of trash which daily um
bers and loads down our mails. Five bushels
would probably be light calculation of
tho amount daily dealt out at the post Office in this
city. The shameless frauds and impositions thus
dosed out to the people are outrageous; but when
tie machines Of government are employed to aid
in the unrighteous scheme, it assumes still baser
aspect, and should be Indignantly fro~ned upon by
every politician who claims respectability for his
party, and every member Of the parties which it
stamps with an indelible disgrace. One sided
speeches by osided politicians are poor aliment

The nominations Of Hale and Julien meet With
the l'NeGes; response from the free soilers Not u
word has as yet been heard from Hale Silence
gives consent, though and be, Of couIse, viii nc,
cept the nomination. He cannot do otherwise his
withdrawal would be the death Of the free soil
party. Hale was grossly deceived, and made to be-
lieve that he was not popular ct the West, and
that the free soil party would not poll half its
strength unless Chase was nominated. Seward,
figured largely in the transaction. There can be
ne doubt but that in writing his letter OF deelnation
he was actuated by no Interior design The success
Of scett or Pierce was not the question, but
the manifest interest Of his party Intelligent men,
who are biased by nc prejudees, estimate his vote
in Ohio at fifty thousand Here, in Ohio, as is gem
orally the case at the North, there is hardly but
opinion as regards the institution Of slavery; but
party ties are strong and prevent great majority
Of the people from voting where their incnations,
! and openly expressed views, would lead them. On
the contrary, too, there are many, who hate the

The free sellers have as yet made no nomination

Under the new apportionment the wings are sure Of

Of the two great parties viii move heaven and earth
to aeneye success. Every political nerve will be
dishonest, will remain unmade. The vote must, of
| course, be large. From careful estimates think
Pierce will get $4,000, Scott $4,000, and Hale
| $1,000. No well grounded estimate can, at pre-
sent, make different figures than the above. This,
it will be seen, leaves the wings in great minority,
while the democrats lack many thousands of ma
jority; but the attitude Of the free sellers gives
them the control Of the State. The whg prospects
in the State look dark and gloomy. The position of
their party. too. viewed national one, pecu-
liarly unfortunate Never, inbut single instance,
have they been successful against the united de-
mocIncy, while they are now fighting, with dsaf-
fections in their own ranks. in the North and the
South, the East and the West. Under such cir
cunstaDces, the result can be but foretold--the
election Of Pierce must be considered foregone
conclusion. Under these circumstances, the
question may be well asked: In what consists the
hope of the wing party-what are they going to
dor The question can be readily answered. Their
nationality, as party, will cease-it has already
ceased. Don't be startled, reader, it is an unde-
niable fact. Look at the following facts and con-
sidcrations-
The recent unparalleled successes Of the demo-
Gratis. in 1850 and 1861, happened whes they could
not fail to be fatal to the wing party. They
placed the distric.ing Of the States, under the
new appointment, entirely in democratic hands
who, il will BIO seen, have not been slow in i'm
proving tho advantages thus obtained consequently
it will be next to impossible for the wings 10 gain
the ascendancy, in either house of Congress, for
ten years to come; and even then thor chance
is any thing but fattering.. Thus it viii be seen
