Douglas IN Ohio.

The Enquirer of yesterday in considering
the question:: Where the field of Battle lies
in 1860" says:
Ohio has never failed to cast her vote for a
Northwestern man. The feeling in favor oil
Douglas is very strong, and the shrewdest
Republicans give up the State in case he is
nominated.
The whole country knows that the Gnber-
material election in this State last fall, was a
fair test of the strength of Douglas. Upon
three occasions during the campaign, Mr.
Douglas himself appeared upon the stump in
this State. He introduced Judge Ranney to
the people at Wooster as the next Governor,
and was introduced to the people at the same
place by Senator Pugh as the next President
The fight was his, and he was beaten. To
claim the State for him now provided he is
nominated for the Presidency, is impudent.-
This impertinence is intended to have its eff
feet in the South, but it IS understood there.
