Next Election-Free Sellers vs.. the
Wings.
From the accounts published in the Free
Soil and other papers, we perceive that the
Free Soil leaders are already campaigning
it over the State. They are Selling time
by the forelock, and are determined, if pos.
sible, to see if they cannot cast as many
votes at the next election as the Wings.
We shall look upon the contest with con.
siderable interest. Meanwhile the Demo.
cratic Masses are busy planting their corn,
and following the plough; not particularly
anxious as yet, about the result OF the fall
election. When the time for action comes,
as the season approaches when they shall
again proclaim through the State, their
choice, they will be ready with steady
punctuality.
The last election has given them in
creased confidence in the integrity of their
principles, and in the wisdom of their
choice for the offices of the country. They
are not of the sleepful kind of citizens, who
when one they have done a good thing
will slacken in their efforts so as to permit
a willy foe to take advantage Of their laches.
Those who count upon Democratic remiss-
ness at the next election, reckon without
their host.
We have a Democratic ticket unexcep.
tionable in every regard. Col. MEDILL
has been over the course, with what results
we know. BREsLlN and TREvlTT are moi
strangers to the Democratic masses OF the
State. GRIswoLp is now upon his tour oil
duty as a member Of the Board Of Public
Works, and the public, especially those
connected with our improvements, will
have the opportunity to know and appre-
ciate his services. Col. Bliss, the candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, though no,
so generally known throughout the State
as his fellow nominee, Col. McCooK, is a
most OF himself in the North West, thai
strong hold of Democracy, which never
waivers, and where he is well known.
Our ticket combines and harmonizes the
strength and ability of the party; and
nothing can prevent a thorough victory
The Wing party will be three times sol.
EMMY called, and will make default. The
verdict and judgment will be again entered
up, rather as a matter pro Jforma. than as
a matter of contest. Whatever of con.
test the Wings may wish to wage, they will
find the Free Sellers after them.
The Scioto Gazette, (whig.) of Friday,
gives signs of the war. GIDDINGs and
LEWIS made speeches in Chillicoihe, or
Thursday, and seem 10 have excited tn.
ire Of the editor, by asserting vehemently
that the Wing party is d~isbanded and dead
and by stating that the Washington Re.
public was the organ of that party, and
was now advocating the election Of Gen
Pierce TO the next Presidency. They also
quoted the N. Y. Tribune TO the SAME
point.
The editor retorts upon GIDD1NGs, tha'
il the Tribune be authority to one point
it should be to all points, and refers to the
Tribune upon GIDD1NGs' derelictions, and
the mileage swindle.
Mr. GIDDINGs asserted that no enlighten.
ed man has any idea that the Wing party
will ever again present a national organ.

Mr.. GIDDlNGs was of opinion that those
