THE PROSPECT IN OHIO.

Correspondence Of The n. Y Tribune.
CLEVELAND, May %, 1860.
Set down Ohio for Lincoln and Hamln, by 10000
majority, against any nominated at Baltimore
Lincoln will get vote which neither Seward nor
Chase could have secured: mean the conservative
vote of Central and Southern Ohio. When Gov.
Chase was elected in 1857 by plurality of about 200
over Mr.. Payne, his Democratic opponent, Van
Trump, the American candidate received 10000
votes. BY the nomination of Dennson 10 1859, he
being an Old-Line Wing in his antecedents this
American vote brought into the Republican ranks,
and Dennson was elected by about 1900 majority.
This vote, / have good reason TO believe could not
have been secured by either Seward Chase; but
with Lincoln it is secured beyond all question, and rem
ders his triumph in Ohio certain. So far l have
beard-athough both Seward and Chase have very
many devoted frends-the action OF the Ohio deega-
ton in giving Lincoln the vote that nominated him is
cordially approved in all parts of the State. His
nomination constitutes middle ground upon which the
conservatives Of Southern and the radicals Of Northern
Ohio meet and unite. We thus find large ratifca-
ton meetings held in Cincinnati Columbus and Cleve
land and many other smaller places; and the ndica
lions that shall, for the first time for many
years, present unbroken front in the coming cam
pagn. Indeed the indications that it will be
like the campaign of 1910 than any since that date.
Republican and Lincoln Clubs are being formed all
the State, and measures taken for full and COM
pete organization. The only present drawback is that
we cannot find the enemy. The few Democrats 10 be
seen look as if they pail bearers az their party
funeral They are detected and discouraged. They
had expected and prayed that Seward would be nomi-
mated Chic o. and knowing the power of the Preju-
dice against that great statesman had looked forward
10 some show of fight. But Lincoln's nomination has
them all abaek and defeat is written on their fore
heads. They trying 70 start some small falsehoods
about Lincoln such that he had voted against sup
plies in the Mexican war; &C.. but it is evidently up
hill work.
The young men Of Cleveland had a rousing meeting
on the evening Of the 25tb TO organize Club of
az Wide Awakers." The meeting was addressed by
y. 7. Backus, VIM. slade, jr. and X. +. Paine, the
latter delegate to Chicago.
The young men Of Ohio, many Of whom have never
participated in a Presidential canvass before, are arm
ing and equipping themselves for the fight Al the
meeting Oh the 10Th, some who have hitherto acted
with our opponents out and enrolled themselves
under the banner Of Lincoln and Hamn.
Douglas friendslook detected and unless their looks
belle them begin 10 feel that lie is dead cock in the
pitt With any other man than Douglas fjr the nom
inee Linoons majority will he nearer forty than thir
~ tlOusand But while can speak thus confidently
Of Ohio, can with equal confidence say that the Re-
publcans Of Ohio know that this result can only he
secured by untirDg labor and complete organization
Ths il the basis Of confidence, and this work the
Republicans Of Ohio mean TO peri I'm.
Another noticeable feature in the politics Of Ohio is
The increasing accessons to tie Republican party from
lie ranks Of naturalized Germans heretofore identified
with the Democracy. This Las been going on Tor the
