POLITICAL NOTES.

The Presidents Marietta speech seems TO have
discouraged his critics.
Ii Nr. Tildcn is going to renominate himself in
1850, he should not liuger too long abroad.
The cn.orprsing person whose business it is to dis
cover rupture between The President and his Cabi-
let, has issued another bulletin.
The scheme for aboshing the Presidency is
slinplcd with the car-narks Of David Dudley Field.

What troubles the Democratic editor about the
Presidents speeches Is their commandments.
Common-5onsc Is open 10 the same objection. and
that is probably the reason Why the Democratic ed
itor never mdulges IN At.
Senator Morton is said 70 have left Oregon with
speech all prepared for the Ohio campaign, in which
he hoped to take an active part. The speech con-
tanned an emphatic approval Of the Presidents
course II the report is true, the speech might well
be published - a campaign document, ana clscH-
lated throughout the state.
The silver acitator is never weary of saying we
ought to have the old dollar because the fathers had

The Greenbacker has an arluous time of it keep
ing his movement under way in the face Of mc,eas-
ing prosperty. lie makes valiant effort however,
and has succeeded in having conventions called IN
several new States tins year. OF course, lie never
elects anybody. but he furnishes an opportunity for

John c. Thompson has executed another brilliant
manmuyre lie bcguiled six innocent coiored men
into q bac!, room in Columbus, organized them into
a "Colored Democratic Club and adopted for them
a series of resolutions beginning: We, the coored
voters Of Columbus II your Uncle Dick isn't
elected il won't be Johns fault. And yet they say
in Ohio John hasn't bit OF heart in The whole husl-
ness. That makes his olyncss ali the more 'tupeA-
dUus.
II is pretty evident that the Democratic canvass
in Ohio Is liInping a good deal The newspapers do
not warm TO the work worth a cent, and the ablest
men in the party do not appear on the stump Ihefe
IA great scarcity of funds, and recent trip to the
East in search of aid Is said to have been a com
plcte failure The causes of the depression are two
fold. Nh Bishops refusal 10 open his pocket-b0ok
j. one and the capture of the canvass, by the intia
ton faction in favor of llr. Pendletons aspirations
for the Senate is the other An unusually good
cI,nre for sIcceS, has thus by sheer pgheadeduesS,
been turned into almost certain prospect OF defeat
The party has simply yiHdicated once more It's lnco-
parable ability To put It's loot III IL.
The anti-Tilden Democrats are clearly convinced
that coed round lie, well adhered to, Is as ellec-
tive as the truth. The day before AT. 1iidens de-
partnre statement was published IN which he was
represented as saying THAI the general sentiment of
the parry seemed to be in favor of new State
ticket and that he should acquiesce i'll it. This he
promptly denied the next day, but his opponents
have steadily insisted that the first statement was
true and to the present moment they refuse TO pay
any attention to his denial. This is sweet aud
fragrant way of nducting party discussions and
contributes powerfully to that wonderful spirit OF

relief it must have been, too, for he not only en-
