OHIO STATE CONVENTION.

We published portion of the doings OF this
Convention, on Saturday, and with few re-
marks, shall leave the balance until we receive
the full proceedings, which are probablyon their
way to us before this time. The Clay Wings
have been more violent in Ohio and Kentucky,
than in any other part of the United States,
against the President; and hence in great
measure produced the outrageous course pur-
sued by the present Congress. Here it has
been asserted that there were but half dozen
friends of the President in the city, and in Ohio
they have declared the utter impossbility of
calling together anything like respectable
number of persons to attend meeting in favor
of the Administration; yet, in the very teeth
and eyes of all this, we find that the Buckeyes
turned out by thousands to the first Tyler State
Convention, and none more ready to sing the
praises of the President than those, who, in
1910, followed the triumphal car of General
Harrison.
What comment this upon the falsehoods
of the Clay editors, who have so long been en-
deavoring to force "public opinion" upon the
People, just as if the People did not know their
own opinions? What comment this upon
the proceedings of this very Congress, for the
last eight months railing against the Executive,
and essaying to manufacture "pubic opinion"
against their own convictions of the real minds
of the People? What rebuke, strong, homo
rabe and overwhelming against the shoutings
Of impeachers and conspirators, who would
snatch the reins of Government from honest

This, however, is but the commencement OF
the feeling in favor of Mr.. Tyler's Administra-
ton 1t is but the first inkling-the first fash,
and will be followed by more and mightier out
breakings of an oppressed, outraged, and in
suited community
The true democracy of the Union are awake
-thev neuer sh1nsber--and these defamers of
the President, will learn full soon the estimation
in which they are held by those they have so
long ground to the earth to make Babel OF
human carcases that one might reach the hea-
ven of all their aspirations.
That Congress may see the estimate OF this
Convention, and that the Intelligencer may
read and weep over the article it published on
Saturday, from the Democratic Review, we
copy the following from the Ohio Statesman,
a Democratic paper of extensive circulation and
great influence with the party. The Journal"
spoken of in the piece below, be it remembered,
is violent for Clay, and has been foremost in It's
denunciations Of the President:
THE TYLER CONVENTION.
We have glorious times about these days. The
Journal made all sorts of sport beforehand about this
Convention and rdiculed any attempt to get up such
a thing in Ohio but the music is woful1y changed
Gen. Murphy, the Wings " Patrick Henry OF the
West" of 1910, threw most tremendous rocket into
their camp last night He whole and
mysteries of the Harrisburg Convention that nomi-
mated HARRISON the unavailable bank candidate,
and hurled back the charge of Harrison, or Tyler
either, being bank men in 1870 with the most scorch
ing effect The roars of applause and laughter were
80 great that the voice of the speaker was frequently
drowned. He appealed to his Wing brother, Gov
ernor Corwn, who was present. for the truth OF his
statements, that the Wings of 1910, dared not make
the bank question!
1t was Clay's bankism that made him unavailable
and would make him again, and Harrison and 1y-
Ter were nominated because of their known OPPOSE
ton to U. s. Bank. He went on to prove pretty
concusively that had Harrison lived, he would have
vetoed the bank bill Tyler did, and he asked ms
Clay Wing friends if they would have dared to have
pronounced him {" traitor" &C wretch" &C., as they
now do Tyler. brief sketch of the speech is made
by the reporter of the Statesman. All IN ALL we ne
yer saw such a time before. The Clay Wings are
awful i-humored, ard call their Tyler Wing friends
many hard names, and Gen. Murphy, who recently
was their great gum is the vest creature living
/" Split me, said a Democrat, if ! ever believed
before, that the Wings were such rascals" We pre-
sumo that the Clay Wings will not turn up their
noses hereafter at the Tyler meeting
