COLUMBUS, May Is.
After the reading and correcting of the
journal this morning, we hadanother discus
cussion about the propiety of receiving pe-
titions on the subject Of universal suffrage,
Col. Sawyer making it a point to object to
the reception Of all such instruments while
they ask that negroes may be allowed equal
rights and privileges with white men. He
says he is willing that ohite ladies shall have
the right of suffrage, as well as the right to
hold Office, but whenit comes to oNEGR0 0ES,
the matter changes coMPLExIoN--becomes
too dark. The petitions were received and
laid on the table.
Mr.. Reemelin, on yesterday, offered res.
olution to have the debates and proceedings
of the convention published in two German
newspapers, in the same manner and for the
same compensation that they are now pub
lished in the Statesman and State Journal,
which was referred to select committee,
and reported back to-day, with recommen-
dation that it be agreed 10, upon which a
lengthy discussion sprang up. Most of the
members appear favorable to the PROPOSE
ton, provided the papers shall be named in
the resolution, SO that one of them shall be
located in this city, and the other in Gin
cinnati.
At half past IL o'clock, the convention re-
solved itself into committee of the whole,
and took up the report of the committee on
rules, which was considered until the recess,
and again resumed this afternoon.
At4 o'clock the committee rose, and the
convention then proceeded to discuss the
amendments made in committee, and the
whole report, as amended, was finally adopt
ed.
So the convention now has rules to gov
en its proceedings, and standing commit
tees to report business, so that we may hope
for its legitimate work to progress speedily.
Yours, ZED.

There was very large attendance at the union
political meeting at Cockeysville on Saturday last
Both the gubernstorial candidates MIR. Clarke and
Mr.. Lowe) were present and addressed the assem-
blsge. MIR. Clarke spoke to the full satisfaction Of
his friends, and won fnany new ones The people
were entirely satisfied with him He was followed
by Mr.. Lowe, who aso acquitted himself as well
as the bad cause he advocated would admit Of The
meeting has resulted in great good to the Wing
party and the general belief is, that the Wing or
ator completely triumphed. The political spirit Is
now running quite high, and general interest If
manifested everywhere throughout the State In
the contest and the result Let the Wings do their
duty, and success IL certain.
The two discordant wings of the Democratic
party in this city have fraterhized after fashion,
and agreed to nominate j. Maybury Turner. He
is now in the field alone. There is much doubt Of
his being elected. If the Wings bring out good
candidate, he will undoubtedly be elected.
The weather has become quite cold. Those who
have been rusticating during the hot season are
(some of thcm) returning, and others will soon
gather in to be in readiness for business. There is
still fine company at Green Springs.

FELLow-CTIzEss: I hereby announce myself a
candidate for the State Constitutional Convention,
which you aboubt TO elect and being personally
unknown TO many of you, adopt this, the usual
mode, of submitting 10 you my sentiments In the
FIRST place IL is proper for TO premise that am
n genuine Democrat, ultra on every issue Of party
politics, and a thorough going and sincere friend
Of the people am not Of opinion, however, that
this election should turn on party politics aioneat
the same time don't think the Democrats ought to
vote for Wing. II is true that the Whigs OF my
own county Will vote for me, (although their lead
crs will try TO prevent IL vet they fully Of
my opinion that no Democrat should vote for n
wing. You have before you one Wing candidate,
admitted to be Of the most learned and able OF
III. lawyers of Virginia, and man who has never
had any thing more 10 do with politics than to give
ms vote; and as counsel, when required TO do so,
cnoeayored to preserve the purity Of the elections
oil his own county, by resisting the introduction Of
FRAUDULENT and illegal votes His Wing friends tell
us that he IA not only an ACCOMPLISHED and able
and remarkably upright and honorable man, but
that there IA perhaps not in the whole State one
other man SO efnincntly capable of constant and
unremittcd application to business. This may be
20 or not ltis enough for me 10 answer that that
gentleman is Wing, and ought not to be trusted
in the vention-for IL you do trust him there he
may bave an opportunity Of giving some advantage
to his party in arranging the electoral disricts and
you viii all admit that this IL the most important
subject which will come before that body.
The judicial system, the basis Of representation,
the right Of suffrage, the distribution of political
power, affecting, ms they do, mainly mere matters
OF money, and property, and personal security and
social order, sink into ncxprcssiblc insignihcancc,
when compared with the higher and holicr object
OF maintaining and pcrpetuatipg the asccndency of
The Democratic party. True, Mr.. Green says that
nc docs not care copper how the districts are
made, 80 that they be Of contiguous territory and
compact form, and Of equal size, and not after the
fashion Of our present grcssiona district which
though 1t has been deridcd by the peoples enemies
ne the "Sioe string Dishici,'' has yet this merit,
that IT secures the election OF fl and proper

nounce that their arrangements are now coinPle.o
for sending passengers through frem New YORK 70
San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this company to inset the
wants of travel to California, by providing ships ON
the Pacific, in connection with their ships from New
York to Chagres, they were prevailed upon, at the
urgent solicitation of the great number then desir
to go out, to sell tickets for through passages
from Panama in advance, for their ships then go
ing round. This done from desire to accom-
modate those who could procure passages in no
other quarter, and by which, whatever might be
the detention, they would reach San Francisco
sooner than by any other line. Unforeseen diit-
cuties, and the prevalence of fever at Rio Janeiro
at the time, prevented their ships from reaching
Panama as soon as was anticipated, and caused de-
tention at the Isthmus, which increased by the
impotence Of the passengers in going forward,
against the advice Of the company, at an earlier
day than the ships could possibly reach Panama
These interruptions are now all removed. Three
of the four ships of the company, intended for the
Pacific service, have arrived at Panama, and seve-
raj of them have performed trips to San Francisco
and back; so that the company are now able 10
give the public the assurance that the voyage
through from New York to San Francisco VIII be
performed with regularity and despatch.
