The FTRsr GRAND FIGHT OF THE CAM
PAIsx.-The different factions ofthe Hamil-
ton county delegation to the Sth Of January
Convention had a grand fight at the Mel
House, about midnight, on Friday evening
last. II was the first OF the Campaign, and
deserves to be duly chroDicled.
The Cincinnati delegation is composed of
about 3S members. They are entitled to
cast ~ votes. At 4 preliminary meeting
Of the delegation, it was manifest that the
Miamis were in the ascendant. Some dis
puted cases arose, and every one was deci-
ded, in a very summary way, against the
SdiebWcks, and in favor of the MiaEniS, with
out stopping to look into the right or justice
Of The cases.' II was then found that there
was avacancy i'm one Of the Townships
The Sawbucks declared that the person to
be appointed should be from the unrepresen-
ted township. But this was disregarded,
and a Miami was pushed in. The steam,
by this time, got high, and blew of loud
The red-Iaced Jew, who fourished so large
ly, Yves there, as the special organ OF the
Sdiebucks. He denounced the whole pro-
ceedings as corrupt. REEMELIN, also a del
esate, demonstrated. To cap the climax, they
proposed that one from the delegation
should be selected to cast the entire vote OF
tie delegation, and that a majority OF the
delegates should have the power to instruct
how that vote should be cast. This was
aiding insult to injury. 1t was annihila-
ting the strength of theSawbucks at a blow.
II was not TO be endured. FARAE, one Of
the editors ofthe Enquirer, could not stand
this move, and took vigorous ground against
it. Blu the Miamis are strong in Hamilton
county, and in the State. They tried to
vote the proposition through, and PROSTATE
the Sawbucks, but foi'ed. Then came re-
monstrances and denunciations. From
high words they soon came TO blows. A
rush was made upon the Sawbucks, and the
red-faced gentleman was soon mounted
crushed, and terrible beaten. FARAE was
attacked, and badly beaten. REEMELIN was
seen making a straight shoot for the outside
