2Sr The Democracy meet in State Convcn-
ton today, and, unless the wire pulers, who
have been lowering about Columbus for several
days, should get matters cut and well dried, the
BresIins of the party will have general fight
The wariare between the asprlniS has been un-
usually fierce thus far, but the oil Of th, pco-
pies hard earned treasures may be competent to
produce calm. Riley has been deca pitated By
Steedman, who packed the Toledo convention
and refused to support him for Governor; the
Cleveland Plain Dealer dunounces Ranney in
the most seycre terms, and the North Wsslem
press is unanimous in dcnouncing PAYNE. How
the fight will terminate, or who win be nomi
mated, is q mystery which Gipsey could
scarcely fathom. Ii is seldom that the members
OF party in the minority will be so rampant
for nominations, but there is some advantage to
be gained by being the nominee of State con-
rtntion. and the various factions OF the party
will understand this.

CO. In the town of Hancock, Mass, there
was not a single marriage during the years
1851 and 1855. The town numbers 8lS inhabi
tants, and, according to accounts, can furnish
as good materials TO make wives of as any in
the continent. Young men frequently emigrate
to the West, leaving their former paymates of
the other sex to pine in single blessedness at
home; the one never receiving his fullness OF
lifes comforts, the other unable to exercise that
refining influence SO necessary 10 society.
