The Post, In view OF this, asks If the Democratic
Convection will drive off their Ohio brethren who
have pledged themselves to destroy the Union.
The Enquirer says that the scenes at Pbiladel-
phis fully justify the declaration of the Democratic
presses that, kuow nottingham in the free States s
nothing more than uDadulterated aboli.ionism. 1t

The Whig hopes that now that Dr. Graham of
the Board of Public Works, has been thrown over

LOSSES IN THE EASTERN WAR

LOSSES IN THE EASTERN WAR
1t Is stated that, according to official re.
ports, the loss of the Russians in the Eastern
War, including those killed in battle, from,
disease, and the casualties and priyations 70
which the inhabitants Of theatre of war are
necessarily subjected, amounts to 24o ooo
men, whilst that of the three allied mowers
cannot be less; so that, in round numbers
half million of men have been carried off
in this contest.

and perhaps, of their want and dependence,
fill the mind with sadness But here are half
million of men, in the prime of life and
strength, dying deaths ofviolence and agony,
slaughtered by their fellow men, and that too
in quarrel in which neither party had the
slightest personal interest. Each of these halt
million leaves behind him some one who low.

responsibility rests on the heads of govern

make such deplorable sacrifices of human
life and happiness!
