The Cincinnati Gazette criticises COM
munication from Mt. Vernon, Knox county,
Ohio, giving an exposition of the manner
in which the opponents of Mr.. Douglas car
ried the delegates to the State Convention,
which is to elect four delegates at large to
the Charleston Convention. The writer of
the communication calls it "game of
fraud and trickery," and the Gazette pro-
ceeds to explain said "game by showing
that after the friends of Mr.. Douglas had
done all they could do, considering the in
clemency of the weather and the opposition
of the anti-Douglas wing of the Democracy,
the Committee on delegates to the State
Convention, who were, with but one ex-
ception, Douglas men, failed to report list
of delegates, and number of the friends of
Mr.. Douglas having then retired in disgust,
the Convention quietly proceeded to ap-
point anti-Douglas delegates, and passed
a resolution denouncing the Douglas con-
struction of the Cincinnati platform. The
auguries are decidedly unfavorable to Mr..
Douglas prospects, which are growing
smaller by degrees and beautifully less"
when the clouds of heaven and an insignif-
cant minority of the opposite wing can sue
cessfully combine to defeat him in a county
where his friends claim for him nine
teen-twentieths of the Democracy of the
county.
The New York Herald, a sensation pa
per, all except the pictures, published by
Jas. G. Bennett, in New York, announces
to the world the startling fact that funds are
being raised for the purpose of Instruction,
by selling photographs of Old Ossawattomie
Brown, for the ostensible object of providing
for his family out of the proceeds. Mr..
Herald is astonished at the movement among
the proper saints of New England, the home
of such loyal and devoted Americans as
Garrison, Kelly, &c, and considers it Gu
rious phase in "humanitdrianism," that
class who would collapse with horror at the
felonious killing of chicken, should be en-
engaged in melting and maintaining a SER
vile instruction to sprinkle the lintels of
every door south of Mason Il Dixon's line
with fraternal blood.
The Louisville Journal has undertaken to
show the expediency of combination of
the Opposition of the South, and the Repub-
licans of the North, in the organization of
the House. The journal suggests the cleo
ton of a sound, conservative man from the
North for Speaker, and ends with recon-
mendation of the Hon. Warner L. Under
wood South for the clerkship. Although
this seems like a union of unmixable ele-
ments, yet little compensation or reciproc-
ity alkali is thrown in to make the system
work. Prentice having become politically
expatriated by a total humiliation of his
empire after the Scott defeat, now wars
against the old enemy, on any conditions,
rather than for the ascendancy of any or
ganization now existing.
