"rhis individual (Mr Lc.ilcr.) has again

Democratic Nomination.
OF .MicAisum.

The nomination Of Col. JOHN B. VEL.
LER as the Democratic standard bearer in
the approaching Gubernatorial canvass,
and the proceedings of the Convention of
the 9th and 10th meet with hearty re,
spoase from the Democracy in every Sec
ton ofthe State, which is almost sure pre-
sage of the triumph Of the Democratic
cause. Before the Convention, many in
different sections of the State, expressed
their preferences for other distinguished
men; but the majority Of the delegates in
the Convention having fairly and harmoni-
ously nominated Col. WELLER, they defer
their individual preferences and cordially
unite in the support of the nominee Of the
Convention, and fling to tbs breeze the DEM
ocratic banner, with WELLER and VIcTo-
RY inscribed upon its ample folds. .

Federal Nomination.

The Mexican Convention, which met in
Columbus on the 18th inst, put in nomina.
ton General Seabury Ford, rs their can
didate for Governor. T he nomination was
effected at the sixth effort. Though the
nomination Of General Ford may be consid-
cred as a triumph of the anti-Delano por-
ton Of the party, the nsmnee is as much
Mexican in his feelings as any Of his party.
The convention indicated no choice for
President. The resolutions support the
doctrines Of Corwln, Bebb, and others in
their opposition to the war. 1t isupon that
question that the great political struggle of
'4s is 10 be decided. Shall we stand by our
country in her battles-shall we maintain
her rights and her honor? are the questions
at issue. The candidates are in the
field; the one bearing aloft the flag of our
glorious country, the other seeking to rail-
ly the people around the black banner of
Mexico. To which will belong the victo-
ry there can scarcely be room for q doubt
The American party have ever been victo-
rlous over the Mexican enemy in their own
country, and can the American party at
home ever permit the Mexican allies to
triumph? No, never!

A PREDIcTroN.-The Columbus CORES
pondent of the w. r. Chronicle thinks that
with union among the wings and good
candidate, Col. JOHN B. WELLER will be
beaten 5000 easy" What, only 5000!
Well, really, that is an exceedingly mode
rate calculation for whiggery to make
AS for a good candidate, we suppose whig-
gerry has done its best. They have got
one of the regular Mexican stripe; an out
aud out Corwinite. But alas for the ''un-
ion" and harmony in the whig ranks! The
accounts given Of the proceedings of the
great Whig State Convention, represent it
as being the most discordant and riotous
political gathering ever held in the State.
Thnt s'union" and harmony can exist in
the ranks of the whig party, or any other
party, who rally under the flag of our
country's enemies, and which by every
means strives to tarnish the fair fame ofour
glorious land, is impossible. The people
of Ohio will rally under the standard of
those who battle for their country, and con.
sign to infamy the traitors who openly es.
pouse the cause ofthe country's enemy.

EurODean Affairs.

Every arrival from the shores Of the
Old World, brings news Of disaster and suf-
! iering. Assassiuations in ireland, emuetes
| in France, civil war in Switzerland, popu-
lar outbreaks in Italy, fill the columns Of
the papers received from that seemingly,
worn out portion of our globe. Such a
state of affairs,conjo with other circum-
stances, il we are tojudge by what history
teaches US, betokens more grave and spor.
tentious events. The old systems of gov.
ernment, with their antiquated rubbish Of
superior orders, and divine rights, ara
crumbling TO pieces, like the time worn
castles, turrets, and battlements of akin
dred age. The inpulsive spirit Of the nine-
teenth century, seems to be awakening tho
masses to a sense Of their wrongs, which
have been borne too patiently, and too
long. J
L hat such should be the result of tho
centuries ofoppression, the masses have en-.
dured from their rulers, should not excite
our special wonder. We only surpris-
ed that the revolutionary movements have
not taken place long ere this. Man can
not be deprived of his natural rights, and
held in fear and dread Of self constituted ru-
lers; only by the closing up of the sources
of knowledge. Once let the rays of tight
break in through the dark pail of ignorance.
and you will see the great mass, who have
been cropping in the dark, awakened to a
just sense OF their rights, and ready TO
maintain them.
Possessing the physical power, when
reused to action, no wonder that in the
wakening to knowledge Of their wrongs,
stung and goaded to almost madness, the
ising oil the people is too often the histo-
ry ofdark and bloody deeds. Such is the
annals of Revolutionary France, such the
record OF the civil war Of the Protectorate.
Yet the palliation for these excesses is 50
strong-the slaughtering of peaceful men
by their lords-the violations of the fireside,
by the noble ravisher-the debasing vassal.

loathsome dungeon for all-plead so touch
ingly to our sympathiss, that we are forced
to forgive the means, that the end may be
attained. e-,eaie.r y. IS ifzi.5l.
Whilst these probable revulsions Of the
social system, of the old world, are pro-
crossing, our own new and vigorous coun-
try will reap rich harvest OF gain. The
looms must be kept going, and tho opera
tives kept from starvation, and our cotton
and corn will do both. ALI branches of
trade will feel the healthful influence Of
good prices for our products. A great des.
tiny is in reserve for our lovely land.-ths~

C. Rosas, the present ruler in Buenos
Ayres, has granted licenses for the import
alton into that place Of $4,000 barrels Of
-four, subject to duty of $l5 per barrel.
Rosas has probably re ceived instruction
from the .sprosectionists" Of this country,
and thinks that high duties make lo'o pri-
ces; and that, let the duty be ever so high
it adds nothing to the price of the commod-
ity to the consumer, as the importer pays
the duty, and no body else. Admirable
doctrine! Can't some of our s'protection''
preachers start on voyage to BuenosAyres
with cargo of flour, and give to the peo-
pie there practical illustration Of their
theory Of cheapening prices by imposing
enormous duties?
