DEAR News: pity the people of Kan
sas. A great fight IS going on in this coun-
try, in the result of which Kansas is vitality
interested, which is Gree to everybody
else. but in which she is counted out"
Besides. what, do your people amuse them
selves with ? Icannot imagine an Ameri-
can above the age of ten years being con-
tented without the periodical excitement of
a political campaign. Even the little boys
whom I meet upon the street, and who are
so young that their occupation has not yet
come, are no less interested than those ell
Derby idlers, whose occupations. like Othel
los, are gone; and I overbear them cele-
brating the virtues of "HoSEsr OLD ABE
or hurrahing for Douglas, according as they
have inherited their political proclivities.
We have few Breckenridge men in our
county, and, scattered over the State, enough
are to be found to constitute an organized
party They will hold State Convention
early in August. when they viii nominate
an electoral ticket, and probably candidates
for State officers. A number of prominent
Democrats are in the movement-among
them ex- Gov. Reuben Wood, ex-Supreme
Judge Burchard, ex-M. c. Hall. eek Gov"
Stafford, ex- Auditor Morgan. ex-Supreme
Judge CorwIsEh. Marshal Johnson, Tom Spar
row, and others. They will move heaven
and earth to poll respectable vote, and the
fight between them and the Douglas men
will be bitter in the extreme. They expect
to be rewarded hereafter, when the party
RECEIVERS from its present attack; for all ad
NIT that it is ''gone up for this campaign.
Douglas will then be regarded as Van Buren,
has been since '48. and they will be the
genuine and only ''unterryfed Democracy"
As many of your readers are old citizens
of Ohio, assume that they will be inter
ested in Ohio politics, and so fill out my
remaining space with list of the nomina-
tons for Congress, as far as made. The
list will not be complete until the latter part
of August. In the Cincinnati districts, no
nominations have yet been made. They are
now represented by Pendletou (Dem.) and
Gurley (Rep.) Both will doubtless be re-
nominated by their respective parties. In
the third district, represented by Vallandig-
ham, dem. of the dirty persuasion) tie
conventions have not yet been held, but it
is understood that Val. will be re-nomina-
ted, and that Hon. Robert G. Schenck, one
of the ablest of our Ohio politicians, will
be Inc Republican candidate. In the fourth
district, represented by Allen, Dem. the
Republicans have nominated James NJ. Hart,
of Piqua. He is an able and popular man,
and as the district is close one, the Re-
publicans hope to redeem it. In the fifth
and sixth, represented by Ashley (Rep.
and Howard, Dem nominations have
been made but Ashley will be reelected
in his district Tom Corwin runs without
formal nomination in the seventh. In the
eighth, ninth and tenth, all represented by
Republicans, the conventions have not been
held In the eleventh, now represented by
Martin, Dem Hon. v B. Horton is the
Republican nominee. Edison B. Odds, for
merly of the Columbus district, will proba-
bly, be his opponent. It will be hard
fight, but the prospect of Horizons success
is good. Cox is re-nominated by the Dem
ocrats in the twelfth district, but he is op-
posed by the Breckenridge wing of his par
ty. and by old Joe Geiger, and if the Re
publicans make a good selection he can be
beaten. John Sherman-glorious John =
is re-nominated in the thirteenth. In the
fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth, represent
ed by Republicans, no conventions have yet
been held, while in the seventh, Theaker
has been nominated for reelection by the
Republicans. Apostle Giddings is candi-
date for the nomination in his twentieth J
district. He cannot be contented, after
these many years, unless heis in Congress,
and he ought to be kept there. In the other
districts, the conventions have not been
held.
The crops Except hay) are the finest in
this part of the State that we have had for
several years.
Faithfully yours, ONO.
