Amid the CALCULATIONS with which the Cincin

entitled to the nomination and should not receive

been assiduously laboring to prove that Pierce
and not Buchanan should be the nominee. Alas,
poor Pierce From the first ballot he Sided
down fdciiS deseeHsus towards tho little end of
nothing. Our neghbor Of tho Republican afc W
weeks ago published over his own signature Il
long and able paper setting forth his objections
to Mr.. Buchanan. But, Of all others, the person
most to be pited is tie editor OF the Richmond
Wing. For months he has devoted himself with

THE CELEBRATED RACE Horse WAGNER'-
We had the pleasure of visiting, few days since
at the stables of the Oakland Course the cecbra
ted champion of the tnrf-Wagner. Than him,
There has never been more successful horse in
America, rs his numerous and almo st nvariahle
trlumps upon the course testify. Born in Nir.
ginia in 1871, Wagner was connected for some
timo with the first families of that ancient domin.
ION His ancestry were Of the nobest blood
Sir Charles being his sire and Maria West his
dam-boh distinguished in the annals of the
breeding stud. When three years old, Col John
Campbell. of Baltimore, purchased Wagner for
$4,000, and still retains him Under the manage.
ment OF TINT gentleman, the noble horse entered
upon career of glory, such rs no other animal
ever obtained. Upon whatever field he entered
he was winner In the North and South he was
alike successful. But here in Louisville he
achieved his greatest triumphs There are many
OF our citizens who recollect his famous contest
with that paragon of horse flesh, Grey Eagle.
Two races OF more exciting character were
never witnessed. In his second race with that
tavorite Kentucky horse, he ran the last three
miles OF n second heat in 5.3S; and the sixteenth
mile in lbs.
Wagner has been for some years withdrawn
from the turf. While in that service he started
eighteen times, and came out victor in twelve
races, ten OF them being four mile heats. His
totnl winning OF purses amount to the unusually
large sum of S3l,l50. Although old, this great
steod has lost nothing OF the mettle and activity
ct his youth. Indeed age appears to have added
to his beatty. His color is rich golden chestnut
with roam stripe ON the right side of his face,
aud white hind feet.
The enterprising proprietor of Waguer-Col
Campbell, has determined that the old horse shall
continue here the remainder of his days, in full
view OF the scene Of his greatest phs.- Lou.

present character of Congress. IL the notice is
not first rate" it is at least plain spoken:
"A low. vulgar. dram drinking gambling ruff
Ganly, brutal Sc, of political gamblers are fri.
fling with the lives, the libertihs and the fate of
thirty millions of freemen. And it requires no
prophet to predict the swift destruction that is
coming upon this people. The dignity of the
law giver. the refinement ofthe scholar and the
grace of the gentleman are no longer to be found
in our highest halls Of legisaion but in their
place. the most vulgar blackguardism, the most

And is this that makes our Republicanisn u
