I" am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
" GREENE c. BRONSON"
Hon. George z. Pugh.
We must again congratulate the democracy off
Ohio upon the fortunate termination of their sena-
toral contest. In every section of the State, it we
are Judge by the tone of the democratic press, the
acquiescence of the party reaches entire unanImty,
whilst there is enthusiasm and satisfaction rarely
produced by such an event
AS the senator elect resides in Cincinnati, We have
the ught that our readers would be pleased to the
estimate placed upon him by that sterling and able
democratic iournal-the Cincinnati Enquirer. Here
it is:
Zone of the most exciting and proracted canvass

at length been brought to q termination The eighth
ballot of the legislative at Columbus last
evening resulted in the nomination OF George +.
Pugh, of this cy-he received fftyfour votes, SIX
more than necessary for a choice. This is, IN
deed most credtable selection, and we congratu-
late our democratic friends upon the suspicious ter
minaton of the senatorial struggle. Here in Hamll-
| ton county, and throughout the State, where Mr..
Pugh is known, it is hardly necessary TO speak OF
his superior qualifications, for it is generally admit

entirely safe in making the prediction that he will
be an able and distinguished member of the United

"Althongh yet in early manhood. he has attained
a high reputation Il lawyer and democratic pc
ician and for a number of years has stood in the
front rank of our public men. HIS nomination TO the
Senate at the age OF 80 is compliment which has
been rarely paid to any individual in this country
but can truly say, this instance it has been we'll
deserved, if the most promising talents, unspotted
private character and devoted and efficient service IN
the ranks of the democratic party, any claims for
that distinction. In every political canvass since l848
Mr. Pughs eloquent voice has been heard ralyng
the democratic to the polls with great effect
for, speaker from the rostIum, we do not believe
he has superior in the State.

against the outrage which whig legislature had been
guilty OF in seeking disranchise county of lis
representation in that body which he did with Vgor
and ability that could not have been surpassed, and
which Immediately gave him distinguished position
in the councils of the party. In 1851 he elected
attorney general of the State by something like 10000
majority, running ahead, believe, OF his associates
upon the ticket.
TO his hosts of friends in this county, who com
prise the mass of the democracy, the news of his nom
