The Fifth Avenue Nominations.
VIII GrOesbeck Accept2

CINCINNATI, June 22.-The nomination
of Mr.. Groesbeck has not produced much
| sensation here. Nothing thus far obtained
! indicates what course he viii pursue with
reference to the matter. An impression
seems to prevail that if there were good
! prospect for him at Baltimore, he would
| give countenance to the new movement, but
that he would not permit himselftO be used
/ in opposition TO Baltimore.
