A Chicago Han in Cincinnati.

road 10 greatne-s. suffer Ike Chicago, we must
conclude that there are other causes at the bot
tom Of our present difficulties, aud the main
root OF thls evil is, take it, the fact that our
national industry is unprotected, aud all t1e
wealth made and making only goes to Zurich
Europe and leave ourselves quite Is poor, if not
poorer, tlan before We made the wealth with
our hands. The publlcmind here is fast settling
down into the conviction that an immediate

for the Chicago nominees, who never before
voted the Republican ticket. The mechanics
know by fair trial that the Tariff will never
be altered by the Democratic party, under the
he'll, as it is, Of the Southerners, whose inter-
ests arc in Frea Trade.
The political feeling hare is admirable for
Lincoln, and the State Of Ohio will be true as
steel to the cause Of free soil, free speech, aud
free men. There is an attempt by the Demo
Gratis to GIT up dissatisfaction ut the course Of
the Ohio delegation, which "slaughtered"
Seward who now occupies the same position
in the hearts Of the Democracy as Henry Clay
did when be Has slaughtered. There is COM
passion in the bowels Of the Democracy for all
men whom their opponents sacrifice sup

die tears. What 4 pity it is they cannot ret
him to bolt the party. But there is trouble IN
the Democratic rauks Of serious character:
the Douglusites talk boldly Of boiling if things
do not come cut right; and If BIZ. Douglas
does becqne the choice Of that Convention, he
is going 10 trayel q hard road. They are al
ready preparing to move the National Dtmocrak
from Cleveland, Ohio, to this point, where it
will bang away ut Douglas and the Enquirer in
choice style. You know, Of course, that its
editor was Buchanan man, but on being kick
ed out Of the Post Office became Ia Sharpstein

u word, the Republicans are united on their
ticket, but it is very dubious, indeed, about the
Democrats Of this section being united Oh any
ticket that can be made at Baltimore,
There are nIany things in which Cincinnati
far su.passes Chicago, and others in which we
much excel the Queen City. Strange tia. our
ptiuts Of suneriorlty should be in our local gos-
ernment. We make ordinances aud enforce
them; here it il the reverse to too great an ex-
tent. The police are supposed to be mixed up
with gamblers, keepers of vile houses, aud
therefore scapiug a d other tricks upon travel
ers, are practised here, that hare BECOME things
Of the past in Chicago. Democracy rules tie

order.
