Ono DEMocRAcy.-The .amsriean Union, of
steubehsile, has the following remarks and ex-
tract.--
The proceedings of the Democratic State
Convention receives the applause OF the press
of the party in all sections Of the State--
To show the opinions abroad as to the pro-.
ceedings of the State Convention, we select
the following article from the U. s. Journal,
of Washington city: 1B
"We have repeatedly expressed our high
admiration Of the character of the democracy
of Ohio. We have for years regarded the
democracy of that State, as the pIrest, the
freest from every species Of taint, of that of
any portion of this mighty Republic. In all
times Of trial, in every season of darkness,
doubt and perplexity, they exhibited tho
most praiseworthy perseverance an indomi-
table courage. While others may have been
governed by shameless, time serving policy,
Influenced by degrading considerations Of
personal interest, whose only patriotism was
founded upon principles of profit and loss
the democracy of Ohio have nobly breasted
every difficulty, and, with unshrinking fear
lessness, have ever maintained their integrity
unspotted and unimpaired They have set
The democracy of the whole nation most
brilliant example, which we should be proud
to see universally followed. All this we
have said over and again; but we trust we
shall be excused for repeating truths so just
and important to our wel-being as politi-
cal party. If the democracy of other States
would but only follow, with unfalering fear
lessness, the unclouded example of the un-
purchasaable democracy of the Buckeye
State, we should overwhelm our enemies
with utter confusion-ay, with complete an
nihilaton.
The Democracy Of Ohio deserve praise, but not
quite so thckly laid on We would not have it
understood that we ought to take the first place
in the promul CATION of Democratic principle; we
will be content to wal. till we get in the advance
before we ask other States to follow us. Florida
and Louisiana before US, for their constitutions
expressly forbid the existence of corporations to
authorize paper mints to manufacture counterfeit
currency; Missouri has called convention which
will soon give her the same vantage ground, and
Iowa will become State without the pollution of
legal fraud being engrufted on her constitution.
We have not yet mustered courage boldly to AXE
ground against the corrupt system, as such we
, only wage war against particular form of it. In
opposition to protection, distribution, and the 9TH
er dividing lines of principle we are not more firm
or radical than the Democracy of many other
States. 1t is true that Ohio can claim high credit
for a judicious choice of men to represent her on
national affairs. In this we will yield precedence
!, to none. AS U. S. Senators, Benz. Tappan and
VIM. Allen have at all times supported correct
principles With an en- ergy, dignity, and ability
n which has won for them leading positio among
: the statesmen Of the union. Nor have our repre-
sentative delegation in Congress held secondary
e place in the firm advocacy of democratic mea-
snres While on net onal questions, therefore, Ohio
deserves all the praise bestowed, when as in
the present instance it is extended to State poll
= cv, it becomes exaggeration. infinitely dangerous
because it luls the vigilance and hinders the pro
gress which are the distinguishing characteristics
u" of democracy.
