STATE CONVENTION OF THE FRIENDS OF
IIE ADMINISTRATIONS.

THE ADMINISTRATION.
Although the season of the year very busy
one, and the times peculiarly and pressngy severe
upon the people of Ohio at this period, very re-
spectacle number of the friends Of the Administra-
ton assembled at the United States Court House in
this city on Monday last.
No effort had been made TO drum up numerous
convention. No circular had been issued for the
purpose and few if any private letters have
been written by individuals TO arouse attention TO the
subject of the meeting.
Ii was preferred, as matter of choice, among the
friends of the Administration here the State Central
Committee and others OF this city, that the move
ments of the people be left entirely to themselves
TO that free and voluntary action their part which
the real condition of the countrys interests and
its wants. would most naturally invite And yet our
convention was honored with the presence oil some
of the very first men of the State, from both the
great political parties of the country, who warmly
and ardenty entered into the spirit OF our proceed
lngs. The reading of the address and resolutions
was most enthusiastically cheered by very full and
crowded audience, and all the proceedings at the
Court House were marked by that evidence OF graf
| ihcatlon which usually bows from an honest conyic-
ton OF the justice of good cause.
III Is vain 10 think OF Disgusting the fact that tile
public mind is arousing deeply thoroughly eifectua
aousng to open defence of the and cond act
| OF the present Administration. Immense exertions
have already been made, and every where
making, TO create the belief that there TYLER
men IN Ohio. That the entire numerical force here
| Is confined to mere "CORPoRAL's GUARD" That
a convention could not be got up friendly 10 the Adj
ninlstration That 1t would utterly fail. That il
was useless To dream of such possibility. And
far has this ridiculous effort effectuay to head, aud
10 overthrow this Convention been carried that many
who designed coming among US, and mingling with
US and those too from the remoest corners of Ohio
were maicl0usy and falsely told that the Convention
had actually iaIled-that such meeting 10 be
| hed-that IT had been put oh-iorever postponed
These have been some of our embarrassments-an
this base systematic effon mean and dastardy
The part OF our enemies could not after all effect the
desired object. Men, resolute and determined in pur
pose, could not be driven way-could not be turned
aside from rcsnlue perseverance, from standing up
IN defence OF the principles and measures Of President
TYLER.
The effect Of the Convention will be most salutary
upon all classes of our population. 1t has shown our
| traducers and viers precisely where they stand.
The current Of public sentiment is rapidly setting in
in defence Of the measures and policy of this Admin
lstraon. 1t cannot be successfully resisted. 1t will
| bear down all opposition. This is inevitable
suit. There is no resisting IT, 1t is inevitable
| fate
| General Murphy, of Chcothe, by particular So
lictaton, addressed very crowded and enthusiastic
audience at the first Presby teran Church in tho
ing 1t is utterly out of the question, to attempt
to describe the enliyenlng the enthusiastic effect of this
truly eloquent, masterly overw helming and oyerpow
ing speech. The General spoke for something over
| two hours and such the immense cheering du-
efforts OF the speaker
Among all parties and all classes, there is but
common expression TO its great ability. Most of
the two Houses of State Legislature, the Go
vernon &c were present The consequences were
depicted III every tountenaIice.
If every citizen of Ohio could have witnessed this
| thrilling, convincing speech, scarcely grease spot
| would be left Of the eibgy-burnlng Wings in this
State. We hope and trust that others will yet enjoy
the opportunity of witnessing this great mans efforts
in the cause Of principle, truth, and justice.
| OF the State Convention Address, written by John
A. Bryan, Esq of this city, will be useless particu
| arly TO speak. MIR. b. is too well known one Of
our abes men and most accomplished writers IN
| Ohio, to need single word of encomium from U.s.
| The Address will speak for itself Its condensation
OF facts--lts convincing arguments-ls close and
logical reasoning, well its strength and beauty
of language and expression, will procure for it but
one opinion among all parties and all classes of Cit
liens. Let it be calmly, dispsssionately and coolly
read. Let the plain man read this able and cons
vincing production, and ponder well the striking pic
ture OF suffering it depicts-the base and profgate
sprlt-the litter persecution which Is made to lo-
low every act and movement Of John Tyler. Yes,
we ask that it may be read every where Viii our
brethren of the press all the liberal editors IN ono
| all who not borne down by the iron rammels OF
pary-all who prefer candor to partallty-who feel
DESTROYS that virtue and truth should prevail over dis
honesty and fraud let their readers have chance to
read and examine this Address. All that is needed,
is, that the truth should be placed before the mnds
OF this great and hourishing State-"LET THERE BE
LIGHT" and we shall dread not the result.
