my letters from the "seat of war" in North

the Democrats would carry the State, and l
shall stick to it!
But to come back to Ohio. The detection
there from the Grant.party is 80 great that1
don't see how the Liberals can help carrying
the State. The regular Republican majority
is less than twenty-five thousand, and from
what observations I am able to- make aud
from what I can gather, I really don't see
how the Liberals can fail to add Ohio to their
list. Still they may, and I should not advise
that Ohio be put under any other head than
that of doubtful"
Thisis not very satisfactory but The indul-
gent reader Of the ENQUIRER must put up
with it. The telling of what I know about
Ohio politics may remind them Of the story Of
the Kentucky politician who made speech
of three hours on the tariff He gave
minute history Of it and concluded thus:

OLD KENTUCKY.
The Ozark and Bloody Ground" swallows
Greeley beautifully. One would think that
they always wanted him for President from
the way they swing their hats and yell. -
But the secret of Greeley's popularity here
is not any particular fondness for him in the
abstract, but because Kentucky has deep sym.
pathy with and for the South, and will do
anything in her power to help lift the burden.
Greeleys election means peace to the South,
fair treatment, civil rule, no encouragement
to grasping carpet-baggers, and more Of what
is known as civil liberty than she has enjoyed
since the war. Kentucky, although upon the
border, is southern to the core, and she will
not let the opportunity slip to aid those of her.
brethren who are yet under the carpetbag
ban. This, in brief, is why Kentucky is for
Greeley, and why she will give him larger
majority than perhaps any State in the Union
in proportion to population. 49,.
THE BOURBON CONVENTION.
Blanton Duncan's Bourbons hold their
convention here in September to nomi-.
nate straight Democratic ticket; but the
whole thing will be a ridiculous 6zzle.
Here, at the very home of the movement. it
has no supporters. I asked a prominent citi-
zen yesterday how many in Louisville would
take stock in the Convention and his answer
was "one-Blanton Duncan" That is about
the truth. Blanton is a noisy fellow, but en-;
tirely harmless. No possible ticket can be
nominated here that can carry q county or
even school district in the United States.
| PEACE.
A Convention of different sort is to be held
here on the 18th and 18th Of next month. It
is to be grand peace reunion between the
North and the South. Itgoes by the name of
"peace relnion" but I suspect from the mate
rial engaged in getting it up, that it will turn
out to be huge Greeley meeting. But a
Greeley meeting and a peace Convention mean
the same thing, SO we will not dicker about
names.
All the great Greeley men Of the North
and the South are to be invited, and they will
likely attend, including Sumner, Banks,
Trumbull, schurz, Upton, Doolittle, Governor
Walker, of Virginia; Vance and Ramsour,
of North Carolina; Adams, of Massachu-
sets Hill, of Georgia; Brown, of Tennessee; ;
and host of others at all events to
amuse and instruct the multitude for two
days. But will say more of this when it
assumes shape. MEMO.
