One of the Frys, who is theatrical critic to q
morning journal, after long historical sketch
ofthe character Of Hamlet, gives the following
opinion Of the acting of Forrest in that charac.

institute; as in, the counties OF Hamilton
Franklin aud MOntgomery--the result was
a substantial Democratic triumph. On the
contrary, the enemy obtained his majorities
in those regions Of the State where only
about two-thirds Of the electors came to the
polls. The entire Fusion vote only equals
what Pierce, Democrat, received for Presi-
dent id 1862, and there is no doubt that, 50
perfect was their organization, nearly all
their electors were brought out. Even should
the "ftisioh" combine on President next year
we believe OHIO can be carried easily by the
Democracy. Tie most of those persons
who voted fot Trimble this year will cast
their suffrages for a Democratic National
President, rather than see an Abolition. sec.
tionalist succeed, and that alone will give us
the State. r se a.3e. ..'f
Upon calm survey Of the canvass, all
must admit that, for the Democracy of Ohio
to increase their vote twenty-four thousand
III one year, and diminish that of the enemy
seventeen thousand in the same length of
time, making Democratic gain of forty-one
thousand, was, undor the circumstances, do.
ing as well as we could reasonably expect.
Our principals are right--our cause is on
ward; and it will be but brief period before
the Democratic flag will once more float tri-
umphant over the Buckeye State. To sue.
ceed, we have only to plant ourselves firmly
upon the Democratic platform-make no
concessions or compromises whatever with
the enemies of any of its fundamental arti-
cles, but boldly take issue with them upon
every point, and especially upon the gree
questions of the day. which vita'ly affect the
principles Of civil and religious liberty and
the preservations of the Amesican Union.

Of thy broad brms and drab bonnets. New

plaids yard square, Or striped like the pen
nants of ship. Ridiculous little brimIess
caps of bonnets, loaded with poppies marigolds
asters ilacs, roses, wreaths, sprays, buds, bios.
SONS, beads, gauze. ribbon, plumes, lace, SPAN
giles, fringe and frippery, ad mfnitum. Their
wearers, with forms frightfully compressed be-
tween whalebones, no sparkle in their eyes, no
spring in their step, listless, ennuied, jaded,
dead-and-aive specimens of womanhood, utter
ly incapable of new sensation.
And the men? what shall we say of item p?
With three exceptions there is not handsome
man in New York Epcurean, sensuous, hir-
suite, wine-bibbing, oyster-fed, cigar.stupefed,
snkae-skn-pantalooned bipeds; putting smoke
into ladies' faces, peeping under ladies' bonnots,
and looking as though they had exhausted life
before they we're out of round jackets. The
sight Of Horace Greeley's clear, child-like face,
is as refreshing to the sight in Broadway as the
first snow-drop blossom in spring
But the New York children? 1t makes one

will soon pass away-but the little children
they too must be bound and laid on the altar of

The sight of a bouncing country child, full
of vitality and irrepressbe life, with locks full

And the shops? Plenty to sell but nothing

all expensive but utterly unsuitable for good
