REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COM.
oHto PoLIrIcs.-P arties appear to be
getting terribly ''mixed up" in Ohio Of late.
Indeed, it is no easy matter for one who has
given politics but little attention to tell pre-
cisely where be stands-to which party or
faction he really belongs. This confusion,
however, is only temporary. We think
the convention Of the 18th inst, will do
much toward harmonizing and uniting the
various elements; and that, previous to the
election, every voter will see clearly which
ticket il is his duty or interest to vote.
For the amusement Of our readers, we
propose to make brief mention Of few Of
the disturbing elements in the politics OF
Ohio at the present moment.
/. The administration party is divided in
to three cliques or factions, namely, Regu-
lars, or those who are in favor Of support
inc the ticket nominated on the 9th of Jan
uary; the Bargain and Sale faction, headed
by Medary, who desire to seNom their stock
in trade to the "bitter end" Of Abolitionism,
BY substituting Chase for Medill, and ma
king some few other changes in the Rega.
lar ticket, yet still retail a majority of their
old candidates; (perhaps these might more
properly be called the I,regalars,) and the
Sag Mchts-a secret band Of midnight
conspirators, composed OF Roman Catholics,
Liquor Dealers, &c., who stand ready to
use their influence in favor Of whichever
party will do most to favor free trade in
Lagar Bier, Schnopps, and Corn Whisky,
and are loudest in their dcnunciation Of
Know Nothingism. From the number oI
black eyes, bloated cheeks, and bloody noses,
among the latter, we are led TO denominalc
them the DJsctives These parties are all
at loggerheads now, and seem likely to initiate
the Kilkenny cats, ineating each other up
So much for the Administration party
Now for the opposition, or Republican par
ty. Here, also. there is lack Of harmony
and good feeling 1. The American OF
Know Nothing party in some portions OF TIE
State seem anxious TO avoid any coalition
with any other party. They oppose any
representation Of the order in the Republi-
can Convention, but favor The nomination o
aseparate X N. ticket, and invite all Other
parties TO trial of strength. We admire
their courage; but cannot say much FOL
their discretion. We think better counsels
will prevail, and that they will join the
great Republican army in the coming con-
test, and aid us in fighting the battles o.
Freedom, with right good will. 2. The
ultra Abolitionists Of the Reserve seem dis
posed to urge their men and measures rath-
erItoo strongly-threatening that unless
they are especially favored in every thing
they will, Arnold-like, go over to the enemy
and DO all they can against The Republican
ticket When they reflect upon the ride
ulous position in which this would place
them, and their small chance Of accomplish
ing any good or evil, we think they too vii
reconsider their action and swell the Repub-
lican triumph. 8. The Anti-Know- Moth
ings or those who are bitterly opposed L
secret political associations seem averse to g
union with K. Ms on the Republican ticket
bnt when they review the recent action o
that Order, in openly expressing its sen
timents, and abOlishiug its oaths, &C., W
think their aversion will cease. There ar
other conflicting elements tending to divid
and distract our forces this fall. Our onl,
hope in sending to Columbus on th
18th delegation Of good and trse men
men who understand the necessities Of th
times, and who have cool heads and tru
hearts. We believe that such men will b
chosen. and we further believe that harmo
ny and union viii prevail, and that the Re
publican ticket will be elected BY . triumph
ant majority. So mote II be.
