OHIO.

The AiJahy Argus tries to whistle its way
through the graveyard of its hopes by uttering
such humbug as the following
1.-THE Democrats of Ohio ard the Conservative that
State that the local contest is looking the
aed Of battle aad counting their forces and calculating the
chances Of victory.
One thing sppA5ent The Republicans er only by The
divisions Of the opposition, and are at their mercy
The Argus cannot be ignorant that there tcas
perfect fusion on the 9th lost. of "the Democrat,
" of Ohio" and what it calls "the conservative
" men Of that State" on Judge Thomas j. S.
Smith, in order to defeat Judge Briuckerhoff, one
of the original supporters of the Wilmot Proviso
who is known to regard the Fugitive Slave Law as
unconstitutional. This Fusion of the Democratic
and Bell Everett parties polled some Two Hundred
Thousand yOtes-more than were ever before polled
by any party whatever-yet was badly beaten by
the Republicans alone. We have before us The
(Columbus) Ohio Statesman, the Democratic State
organ, of Friday, the 10Th inst, which says:
A the official Of the reaches I'VE have al in
but twelve couLes astonshed the result
The vote Of THOMAS g. SMITH, the Democratic candidate for
Supreme Judge will think be all Of hundred thousand
while that of BKIscKKRHoFV hundred ard ten 0E
sand"
We believe this is several thousand votes out
Of the way-that Brinckerhofi's majority is nearer
Fifteen than Ten Thousand The facts that the
vote is heavy beyond pecedent-that the Republ-
can vote exceeds the Democratic By at least Twenty
Thousand, aud that of all the adverse parties com.
bined by at least Ten ThOusand-are established
beyond dbpute. We may add that The Statesman
opposes further fusion, believing that pure
Douglas Electoral Ticket can poll more votes
than Fusion ticket. So zoe think; but tho iasers
may try il either way.

has been most worthily represented for the past

declines fuItherelecton; and now Mr.. Blatchford
has followed bis example. We hope, but do not
feel sure, that another equally capable and worthy
can be found for tie place.

CLOSE UP!

We spent the later portion Of last week in the
heart of our State, and found the People fully
aroused to the importance Of the Presidential
contest Unless we are grievously mistaken, the
great Central and Northern Counties Will give Lin
coin maoiities little short of those magufcently
rolled up for Fremont in 1885, while some Of them
will even exceed the majOrities Of that year. We
| trust ONONDAGA will claim place 10 this category,
though she gave Fremont over Five Thousand
WAYNE gave him nearly Three Thousand; we
trust she VIII make up that full number the 9th
of November MONROE gave Fremont nearly
Three Thousand; she will give Lincoln more than
that number-we hope for another Thousand.
ERIE gave Buchanan plurality Six Hundred; we
are well assured that he will give Lincoln at least
twice that number. And, excepting wild Hamil-
ton, which casts barely FIVE hundred votes iu all,
there is not single County West or North of AL
bany that will not give Lincoln q majority, and
nearly every enc viii give one worth having Be-
eide Eric aforesaid and Seneca, there is not one of
the forty Counties West and North Of Albany as
aforesaid which the FusiOnistS can even hope to
carry, unless by a mere handful of votes. Those
forty Counties will give Lincoln 10 the aggregate
not less than Seventy-fy Thousand majority, in
defiance of all the money that can be squeezed out
of our Dry Goods men to debauch and corrupt
them Yes, after all have been bought that can be,
the clear Republican majority North and West of
Albany will exceed Seventy five thousand.
Republicans of the Rural Districts the argu.
meHt is nearly concluded; what remains to be done
is to perfect your organization as to be sure that
rain or shine every voter will be at the polls. This
is what secured the glorious victory in MAINE; this
is what carried PENNSYLVANIA by the magnificent
majority which has electrified the whole country
The highest vote ever before polled by any party in
that State was 230,7I0 for Dir. Buchanan in Sc,
and now Col. Curtin in the fifty FIVE counties from
which we have official returns has 248 500, or near
ly Is 600 more than Buchanan's vote in the entire
State. WIDE AWAKE effort in bringing voters
TO the polls carried Pennsy lvania; 80 it did INDIA
MA; while it nearly doubled our majority in ONO,
and thus foreshsdowed unerriDgly the GROWING
triumph of November 9th. WORK to keep perfect
the Regi.tres and keep out oil illegal votes; WORK
to see every voter before hand and be sure that hs
il thoroughly informed and ready for tbs day Of
trial; WORK to be sure that every voter will come
to the polls on that day, whatever the weather may
be; aud WORK 10 zee that the votes are honestly
cast no, estly counted and honestly returned; and
rest assured that ABRAHAM LINCOLN is our next
President ard HANNIBAL HAsLN Vice Pfesidenf.
But two weeks Of struggle remain: Let ese'y Re
publican reso.ye to do his whole duty to the end.

The Republican Judiciary Convention reassem-
bled at No. 6lS Broadway, on Saturday evening,
and unanimously presented JAMES W. WHITE
as candidate for Judge Of the Superior Court,
in place of Pierrepont Edwards, resigned. We
bail this selection as an assurance of victory. Mr.
WHITE has been for thirty years member of our
Bar, and never was even suspected of dishonOr-
able act OF purpose. Though not brilliant speaker,
he has noselessly won his way to competence, the
reputation Of solid worth, and the esteem of a
wide circle of friends. Always decided in his
political convictions and outspoken intheir defense
he has not been frequenter of party gatherings,
and, though in the afternoon Of life was never till
now a candidate for any Office. There are lawyers
not ten years in practice who have more notoriety
than he, but none of the ripest experience who
more enjoy the confidence of all who know them.
We are sure that Mr.. WHITES name will add
strength 10 our ticket and that his nomination and
his vote win go far to vindcate the system of pop
ular election for Judges from reprosch which
has not hitherto been wholly undeseryed. To
those citizens who do not know Mr.. White, as we
know him, weprOffer our emphatic assurance that
no better man, no sounder lawyer, has been or will
be nominated by any party for any Office. We
ardently hope he may be elected.

CoCKADEs AND COMMON SENSE.

The Charleston rs. CD Mercury Is glad to
learn" that in all the principal districts Of that
State q military organization is forming to be
called the Minute Men," whose duty it is " to
" arm, equip, and drill, and be ready for any
emergency that may arise in the present perilous
"coIditon of the Southern States" The organ
ization is I" to embrace the flower of the youth"
ard to be led "by the most influential citizens
and the badge thereof is - a blue rOsette two and
" half inches in diameter, with military button
"in the center, to be worn upon the side Of the
hat" The design is pretty, but the color bad, as
it is difficult in the evening to distinguish
blue from green, and some fatal mistakes
might occur if one were supposed to have
urcn his hat q Lincoln-green cockade. The
difficulty can be overcome, however, by an order
that the eide of the hat on which the rOsette shall
be worn shall be the inside. In that position, with
small mirrors 10 the place of the military button,
they may be made TO serve a useful purpose to
"ihe flower Of the youth" anxious as to the
graceful ard becoming condition of hair and whisk
ere. Indeed, we know of nothing that would be
mole generally useful to South Carolnians, at this
moment, than mirrors of any Sort 10 which they
might " see themselves as others see them"
But The Mereuryis not half explicit enough as to
the intentions of these youthful flowers. They will
not blush unseen, we know, for that maiden weak
ness is not at all Characteristic of South Caron.
ian,. Nor will they waste their fragrance on the
desert air, for they take precious good care that
all the world shall know of all the
charming qualities they believe themselves
to possess Do they mean to invade the North
Or do they seriously expect to persuade anybody
that the North means to invade South Carolina
There is one class of people, and one only, so
utterly ignorant and foolish as to believe th, last
absurdity-a and that is the slaves. If they see
their masters arming, and learn that it is to defend
themselves against the Northern people who are
TO come to abolish Slavery, they may, perhaps,
frst believe H. then hope for it, and finally propose
10 organize their own Minute Men to aid it. If
the flower Of the youth" and " the most inauen.
"tial citizens are bent upon an Abolition war of
that sort they are taking the most certain method
of bringing it about with their arming and equip
ping, their drilling ard cockadng their buttons aud
bravAdotsi but the foe they may have to contend
with, who Is sleeping now In the ashes on their
kitcheR.hesIths, or On the mud floors Of the negro
