In many portions Of the State the political
campaign, which Is to decide the fate Of tho
republic for another four years, has been vig-
orously opened. 1t is considered certain that
the proceedings OF the Cincinnati Convention
will be endorsed at Baltimore, and though the
State may not be carried in the interest of the
Conservative candidates, yet 1t is believed
that the Reform movement, II properly direct

excited the derision even of bis colored

even after his adhesion TO the Repuoncan
