An Important Political Movement in Ohio.

We have received the circular appended
10 this article from Middletown, Ohio, en-
dorsed by a prominent republican of that
locality, stating that it is being very gener-
ally signed by The Union republicans oil
that section. He also adds that "the prev
alent opinion amapg the substantial men OF
the Union organization is that unless there
date for the Presidency the democrats will
carry Ohio al the uexi election" The very
wording Of the circular speaks volumes OF
itself as 10 the condition Of the republican
party. That here is a deepseated dissat.
i~sfaction in the party over The denomination
OF Old Abe at Baltimore has been apparent
ever since The adjournment OF that Conven-
ton. IL could be seen on all sides but
we had not supposed that it had yet reach
ed 10 that stage when another convention
satisfaction has broken out in Ohio into an
open movement for a State convention on
the 9th of August, and a national convex
ton on The 22d of September, al Buffalo. in
this State. That this means war nPon Old
Abe is apparent from the assertion that 'no
candidate has yet been nominated 10 suti-
GENTLY concentrate the loyal vote 10 secure
the success upon which the best desiinies
Of the republic depend" If this move
ment is meeting with any such success as
is reported in Ohio-and we have every
reason 10 believe that it is-then Did Abe
is even al this early stage of the canvass
forced TO take lis choice between two alter.
natives 10 decline. or suffer an i%gnomini-
Gus defeat. The circular speaks for itself,
in the folio terms IN. Y Herald.
