When last wrote t. you TIE Buck fever was
s,revaipg in this quarter. The town was full OF
Buccaneers, infammatory with the excitements OF
of the Convention, which in is pomp and PRIDE
claimed to be he grand regulator Of the concerns
Of the country for the next four years. The Nnpres
sion was prevalent here that there was not the re-
hottest doubt of Buchanans ele ton. Now all tnis
is changed. The delegates, inside and OUTSIDE 10
the Cincinnati Convention are g'ne, add the people
have been thinking. When buchanan was nomi-
mated it was thou xht absolutely certain that he
would carry Ohio Now ihs most sangnine Of his
friends are not such fools 10 bet that he will come
within twenty five thousand voes OF that consum
nation The fact that Buchanan s no longer sim
p]y James Buchanan but that he is representa-
tive of the same corrupt and Infamous Influences
which converted Pierce from Decent sort of man
to reproach and curse to the country and that he
is emnently adapted to be the tool # Forney Co..
and improve in inquity even on Pierce, has been
powerful in producing this change.

homogeneous composition Of political eemeats ever
presented for analysis. 1t is remarkable that the
democratic veterans o. many wars are not in this
fight Those who, through the storm that ragged
about the time Of the passage Of the Nebraska bill
were firm beside the administration, and who were
strong fer Pierce or Douglas convection are, with
few exceptions Indifferent spectators O. the conflicts
while those who we're anti Nebraska democrats aud
free sellers with democratic tendences-those who
make up the soft division Of the Ohio democracy
were the "original' and are excessively jealous
Buchanan men.
The relative position of the soft and hard demo-
Gratis is completely reversed from that which was
held up to the time Of the Convention. Those who,
two months ago, were styled the sore heads" are
now those whose scaps considered soundest.

free soil infection is now the very citadel for the

Douglas, and they make the fight for the old Buck

takes aston to defend him by abusing others. but
makes little headway and only illustrates the pas
! sonal afInes' that exist between the democracy
and the old line wings. Harrison will be nominated
and supported by the Know Nothings, but will in
eyitably be defeated. The democracy will put their
y, twice defeated champion, Groesbeck on the
track again in that district. He is an able
., gentleman. OF aristocratic family, who Is
quite ambitious to be national legislator. AZ the
bunker strength will be thus divided, the republican
candidate, who will prot ably be Mr.. II. B. Hayes,
prominent member OF the Cincinnati bar, viii stand
fair chance for election. The only way in whicb
he can be defested Is for the o. line waigs and
democrats to fuse either Groesheck or Harrison
and this. under the circumstances, they can hardly
do. Not few Of the old line wings are for Bu-
chanan, but there are ten young democrats for Ere
,mont for every one OF them.
