The Cincinnati Convention.

II is an old adage that siraws show the way
The wind blows. Perhaps this may explain why
the next Democratic national convention is TO be
held in Cincinnati. instead of Baltimore. The
Washington Union has talked, of late. about the
/" free soiiish" Democracy. 1t might have been
thought more congenial TO the taste of these
gentry that tho convention should not as semble
on soil cursed with slavery" We wonder how
many of the Southern Delegates to Cincinnati
will carry their servants with them! Last Jan
uary twelve months ago, the Democratic State
Convention Of Ohio adopted the following rcso-
luton
" Resoired, That the people Of Ohio, NOW. AS

il is Ia be made so:
Some may look upon such nm event as free

larry at the time when such strenuous efforts arc
being made to carry slavery into Kansas where
slavery does not exist by positive law: yet
there is n strong probability that such an event
will occur within the next ten years. Our opinion
is based upon the fact that foreign mmgrati'.n is
greater than domestic, by at least ten to onc, aud
upon the well known fact that oil foreign mini
