Since our State Convention, have visited o
number of counties in the interior of the State
and have addressed Anti-Nebrsska meetings
The people turned out in great numbers to
hear the question discussed The masses OF
the people are fully awake and Wings and
Free-Soilers with many Influential Democrats
are cordially uniting in support of the Repub-
lican nominations. With one or two excep-
tons, the entire Wing and Free Soil press Of
the State are giving the nominations hearty
support Among Democratic papers chat are
heartily supporting the ticket we notice the
Canton TrGnscript and Cincinnati DAILY Volks.
blan. The Sandusky Daily (Democratic) Mir
ror has hoisted at its NEST head the ticket, and
noticed fayorably the Convention, but has not
vet taken down the Hunker ticket, leaving ii
to the Democratic voters to choose between the
two tickets Several Anti-Nebraska Demo-
cratic pa pers in the northwest part Of the State
have not vet committed themselves On the
question Among the neutral papers, the Co
lumbus Elevator and the Massillon. News,
warmly support the ticket. The Cincinnati
Daiiy Commercial, and the Daily Capital City
Fact, are also rendering the movement impor-
tant aid by chronicling the Anti-Nebraska
movements, and by giving favorable notices of
the candidates The Commercial had recently
strong article supporting Mr.. Blickenderfer,
the nominee for Board of Public Works, which
will do good That paper has now the largest
circulation of any secular paper west OF the
Allegheny mountains. Its daily circulation is
several hundred over ten thousand, and ex-
ceeds the combined circulation of four leading
Cincinnati Dailies, and its weekly circulation
is very large We shall receive important aid
also from the religious press. Besides that por-

decidedly Anti Slavery, the Western Christian
Advocate, of Cincinnati, is doing great good by
giving prominence to the Anti Nebraska move
ments. A late number devotes two columns
to chronicling Anti Nebraska movements. This
paper has q circulation of $4,000, and @ill do
great good in Hamilton county it is estimated
that there are 5000 German Democratic vo-
ters Three thousand of these are Catholics,
and three thousand are not. The Catholics
will generally vote the Hunker ticket, snd the
others the Republican ticket This alone,
without any concession from American Demo-
Gratis, will give the Republican ticket 900 ma
iority In Hamilton county. An influential cit
izen of Bellefontaine informs me that Logan
county will give /, 200 or 500 majority for the
Republican ticket.
Ia Franklin county our friends have q great
deal of strength and talent on their side. On
their side is the Daily State Journal, (Whig J
Daily Fact, independently Columbian, Free
SoiL) and Elevator, independently all able pa
pers. A number of influential Democrats, in
this county, are warm advocates Of the move
ment Among these are Judge Swan, our
nominee for Supreme Judge; P. w. Andrews,
his talented law partner, formerly member
of the Legislature; A. P. Stone formerly Dem
ocratic Congressman, and Otto Dressed, q Ger
man lawyer, and talented speaker.
The prospects in all parts Of the Stkse are
very fasteriDg. j. ELLIOTT.
