THE Pm EelDENCK..MOW M 10 TO
NE DONE..A PREDICTION.
In glancing carefully over the polit-
ieal chess-board of the present, We des-
cry curious developments thereon. The.
great political gamblers of the country
are now busily engaged to forestail pub,
lie opinion and thwart the will of the
masses. In placing the aspirants to
the Presidency of 1856 upon the track,
we conceive that in some localities .
vast deal of manuevering and dexterity
is manifested in order to crush the RI
sing prospects of sOnae, and to bring q
new man by way Of compromise before
the Convention which meets at Cincin-
natl next May.
That the Democracy Of Ohio may
act understapdibgig IN the premises.
We propose to lay before the public,
some predictions we haze, in relation to
the "tradep and /" decker" principle
which is about to be brought to hear
upon the Convention, a Formidable
effort is being made at this time whether
for sinister motives we know not, but
have our private opinion on the suhject)
by some of the LEADING journals IN
Ohio, to carry this State for Buchanan
for the Presidency. The same thing is
being practised in Illinois, Indiana, and
nearly all the Northern States. While
a strong effort is being put forth to carry
the South pretty generally for our wof-
thy incumbent FRANkLN PIEKcE, which
viii doubtless be successful. This bold
moye portsnds something which the
public is not prepared to endorse. Its
this. STErnEs a. DoUeLAs. Of Illinois,
is to be the next nominee for the Presi-
dency ! How is this TO be brought bout2

The Senate was called to order and

House to order when the confusion which
lasted up to this time, was abruptly ter.
minated. 225 members answered to their

ton of a Speaker viva voice. Nomina-
