"A Iery uncertain, mysterious, lnexphcaole

bodied perfect teetotum, spinning round
like jenny, or tumbling heels over bead, He
invariably goes through the process of leapiDg

for bait, and loses them; huns up the molasses
cask, and leaves the molasses running; is boon
companion to the sugar barrel; searches up ali
the pie and preserves left from supper, and
ents them; goes to the apples every ten min

torment, especially TO bis sisters. He don't

begins the rage of froCk coats, blue eyes, cur

The Extent of the Opposition.

To-day We conclude the publication Of ex-
tracts from the Ohio papers on the subject Of
the n1minations made by the Convention on the
18Th inst. WehaVe carefully observed the
current Of opinion. and We are now able TO
say that, Of about one hundred papers in the
Stale opposed 10 the present Administration,
all but six are openly and zealOusly advo-
eating the election Of the entire ticket. The
following is list Of the nOnconients The Gin
ennsd Times, Dayton journal, Cleveland Ex-
press, Germantown Locomotive, Gallipolis
Journal and Newark Times. OF these, the
Cincinnati Times and Cleveland Express are
X. N. papers, and we're openly and warmly ir
favor Of a nomination by the Order at Cleye-
land IN June. They sull think the X. Ms.
should make separate nominations. The Day
ton Journal does not like Mr. Chase, and is
not disposed to run up he Republican ticket
1t does not proclaim itself in favor Of separate
nominations, but occupies apOsitiOn Of an in
dependent grumbler. The Germantown Loco
motive is 10 about the same tx. The editor
compares his position TO that o|a jaekass be-
tween two piles Of tbistles; he is not sure which
he shall conclude 20 eat. The Galli7olis Jour-
nal and Newark Times repudIale the nomina.
ton of Mr. Chase, and declare that they will
not support him, bat we have se5n no express
sion Of their disposition to nominate another
ticket.
All Of these papers are satisfied with the bal
lance Of the ticket The do not propose to dis
turb them, but they object TO Mr., Chase. We
submit that the idea OF this handful Of malcon
tents Overruling the great mass Of the Repub-
licpns is totally out Of the question. They
must abite by the decision Of their brethren,
or be prepared to face the consequences.
In Hamilton County The opposition to Chase
will be strongest and most bitter, This was
anticipated by both bis friends and foes. But
there is this cOunteracting element that will
Leep these boilers in check. Many Of them
are merchants and business men. They feel
keenly the want Of reform in our currency and
tax systems. The prosperity, almost the ex-
istence Of Cincinnati, depends upon securing
these reforms. Ii these men array themselves
against the Republican ticket, they will effectu-
ally cut themselves off from al sympathy with
the rest Of the state. If they accomplish any
thing by their proposed movements, they will
only succeed in dividing the friends of Reform,
and thus effectually defeat what they most de-
sire, by keeping the political power of the State
in the hands of the Locofoco party. Let them
be warned in season. The eyes Of the people
are upon them, and any effort of theirs to de-
feat the Republican cause will not be forgotten
in the hour Of our triumph.
The cause of freedom and reform is in good
hands, and it is destined to triumph, Public
opinion with great unanimity, IS with us. A
few short sighed, misguided men, may bolt
Mr.. Chase, but be can spare all such and still
be elected by fifty thousand majority.-[0. S.
