The Canvass in 0hio-Cheering Intelligence.
| We continue to receive the best OF news
from all parts of the State. The opposition 10
the success of the sectional, disnnion ticket,
headed BY Fremont, from The Old line Wings,
IS every day becoming stronger and more
marked,
Among the latest Wing accessious 10 Mr..
Buchanan, we notice Joseph G. Gest, Of
| Greene County, formerly a Wing member OF
the Legislature, ami John A. Smith and A. S.
Boys, late Wing member OF the Legislature
from Highland County. Thomas J. Strait,
ESQ.,, of Warren County, is also out for Blu
chanan. The prospect in that county, is indeed
favorable. The Lebanon Citizen says:
From every section OF this county we have
the most chez ring accounts Of national Wings
who ayow their determination 10 support the
Democratic candidates. If half be true we
hear, Warren County will give a majority FOL
Buchanan and Breck 'nridge, although the mig
GER worShipers claim il fol Fremont by two
thousand.
Oscar F. Moore, present Republican member
of Congress from the Ross District, to our sur
prise, is also out against Fremont. In his lei.
ter to his constituents, defining his position in
favor Of Mr.. Fillmore, he says:
With the announcement of the nomination
of Fremont, as it spread with lightning rapidity
over the land, expired the last hope that lin
gered around the Philadelphia Convention
What a fall Judge Mclean, with oil his age,
learning and experieIce, his fame, his stern
integtity-the hopes Of quiet, peace, purity
sa feiy aud glory 10 the county, concentrated
in him-rejeeted! And a man, whose only
merit, so far as history records II, is in The
fact, that he was born in South Carolina,
crossed the Rocky Mountains, Subsisted or
frogs, Lizards, snakes and grassboppeTs, an(
captured O woolly horse, chosen rs The person
10 control the d%estinies Of this great nation-
And this, too, by the cool, deliberate, ~intellec'
tual men OF New England and the Morrill,
But what shall we do2 HJudge Mclean hat
been nominated no one could have besitated
Nor can l now hesitate 10 take position. Al
warmly and as steadily as ! have heretofor'
opposed the Democratic party, and as bitterly
as | denounee the Cincinnati platform now
with my respect for The ability, age and expe
rience of Mr.. Buchanan, and with my contemp
for the claims Of Fremont and the arrdnt Joit.
Ito use no harsher tem-of those who dicta
ted his nomination, il / were compelled thl
day to choose between them, SHOULD yott
for Mr.. Buchanan.
We cannot doubt, with such indications
that Ohio will go for Buchanan and Breckin
ridge by a large majority.--Enqpirer.

Wednesday says: ''Tbe associate press, Of
yesterday morning, telegrsphed from here to
the effect that The San Francisco Vigilance
Committee had given notice to ex-Gcyernor
John Bigler not 10 return TO California. We
are authorized by Governor Bigler hinsslf 70
pronounce the statement false and malicious.
Governor Bigler has been absent since the 9TH
Of April, and has had no connection whatever
in the troubles in San F francisco. The absuI-
dity Of the whole affair is rendered the more
transparent from the fact that Casey and his
associates have ever been the most bitter and
inscriptions enemies Of Gov. BigleT."

II is our honest belief, based upon an obser

through a number Of years, and o lolerablt
good acquaintance with influences in variou:
localities, that the Democratic ticket will carr,
this State by o majority Of thousands.
Among the reasons for his belief the editoI
Of the Argus states the fact that in November
1854, the Black Republicans carried the State
by a majority Of 9 900. Alta judicial election
in the spring Of 1855 the majority was reduced
to 4,4Oo. In The fall Of 1855, at the last cleo.

iority OF 5000 on State officers. In conclu-
sion, the Argus says:
The redemption OF the State was accom-
plished in q single year; since that m the
party has been daily growing in strength. i
is united and harmonious. The detection Of
the Wisconsin is made up by daily accesslon'
OF hundreds. Two heretofore neutral paper!

A Hard Road 70 Travel.

The Boston Times says tina: Mr.. Fremont
has travelled some hard roads in his time. He
has climbed mountains aaj lived in deep
SHOWS and very hard frosis. But the road be-
fore him is the hardest he has ever attempted,
and worse than that which leads 'ro the
other side of Jordan" He viii also he SUR
rounded by q pack of black republican griz-
lilies and ice-seekers, more rayenous than
any OF the wolves OF painters that beset his
path on The way 10 Maroposa. He will find
the way 10 the Presidency the hardest road
ever Travelled, and will never reach the goal

U'The ass-;erisk editor OF The Register is
an uncommon witty, carcastic and logical in
dividual. In his attempt to ridicule our arti-
Gle on the Black Republican nominees, he ex-
hibits the usual quantum Of Ignorance and
stupidity, that characterize all his efforts TO be
severe. He evidently has not read the pro-
c~eedings OF that motley crew that nominated
the "Wooly Horse candidate, or he would
not assert that it was harmonious, unless he
consider oil the readers OF the Register, to be
as blind and silly as himself He says we
dared not touch a principle in The Republican
platform. Had We seen ono, we would vii.
lingly have exhibited it TO the gaze Of the
public. But it does not contain a single one,
unless a bid for the foreign vote or a rehash.
inG of some of Gree ley's stuff about Kansas,
can be considered principles. 1t is emphati-
caHy what the Cincinnati Commercial and
many other Of The leading Black Republican
presses, say il is, 10 wit: 'tAn unsafe collec.
ton of truiSms, platitudes and fallacies-a
thing over which the shallow may laugh, the
judicious grieye, and the nnlriendly exult.'
In the next place this miraculous individual
says Fremont is not a slave holder. Now
thee fourths Of the people Of this county be-
lieye he is, and unless you give more evidences
than your mere assertion that he is NOT, they
will continue in that belief and demonstrate
il at the ballot box in November next, by
casting their sulfrages against him-tbey are
not satisfied with the manner which this in
competent individual has been thrust upon
them, over the claims Of such on eminent
statesman as Judge Mclean, who was theiI
choice. Show the documents for your asser-
ton, or we assure you, that il Mr.. Buchanan
is certain Of seDen votes, that it is just twice
as many as the "Wooly Horse, and ''GIizsly
Bear" candidate will get, unless the feel
ing Of the voters of this county undergo Q
VERY great change. Fremont Is scarcely tho'l
Iof as a candidsle-the contest here is between
buchanan and Fillmore. The people 10 thii
county desire a better Recommendation in Q
man for that high position, than the discovery
lof a tsram's horn Iolte'' for the Pacific Rail-
road, or the fact that he has sub1istedcn Mule
