s, President of the United States, there
.omos from Ohio a sound full of doleiul
meaning, to Mr. Hayes. From the hill /
ops and hollows, from the mountains
md Wales of the grand old State, comes
hennmistakablc voice of $4,000 major
ty against him. Not only is this re-
Duke to him for the acceptance of posi-
ion which was not rightly his own, but
llso the refusal of the party in his own
State, that had aided in elccting him, to
sustain him in the course which he since
has seen fit to pursue. In the Presiden-
tial election the Hayes electors received
between 1000 and 5000 majority. Now,
in less than year, an election In that
State, goes $4,000 majority for the Dom
ocrats What is the matter ? Has the
democratic party increased in numbers,
and the republican party decreased
Neither of the cases are probable. The
republicans are as strong as they ever
were, but they are djrided, and it is the
unwillingness on the part Of the strict
republicans to sustain Mr.. Hayes, in his
course, that has caused the ominous sep
araton. To the President it must be Il
source of intense modification to know,
through an expression 50 terribly certain
in its nature, that his own party, in his
own State, have not only refused to reas-
sert their belief in his lanfM election,
but have, worse than all, utterly desert
ed him at a time when his trembling and
weakening hands needed their undivided
support. Ohio has said, in grand and
glorious utterance, that she cannot and
will not sustain even one OF her own
sons in position to which he has no
right, and which he occupies through
fraudulent means. Light is coming the
crimson hues of dawning day are fast
dispeIling the gloomy shades of Il long
and dismal night ; and proud among the
States Of a Union, long iettered with tho
manaclos of tyrannical party, will be
found good old Ohio, pointing to hel
chains upon the ground, and saying tc
her sister States, F" Go thou, and do like
WISE"

| The Democratic Committees figure
on the General Assembly are as follows
In the House the Democrats will hav
sixty seven members the Republican
thirty-nine, and the Nationals on Work
ingmen, three Democratic majority o
twenty eight. In the Senate the Demo
Gratis vii! have twenty-five members an
tho Republicans ten; Democratic ma
liority of fifteen. This will give tn
Democrats forty-one majority on join
ballot, 1t is not likely that the full OF
fetal accounts will materially change tn
Legislative maioritieS claimcd-not NOR
than two or three at most.
There is no excitement in the CITY, tC
night, and no crowd about the head quar-
teIs Of either party.
