Ry reference 10 the Reports IN anolhor

sise the Constitution of the State OF Ohio,
met this morning in the Senate Chamber,
about eleven o'clock, and organized by the

Hon. YN MEDILL, Of Fairfield, President.
WM. II, GILL, Esq, Of Guernsey, PriHci-
pal Secretary,
WM. L. 3. PRRNTIss, Of Knox County,
Assistant Secretary,
JAMES ARNOLD, of Rehand county, Door
keefsrj and,
JomN w. CARRoLToN, Of Hamilton county,
Sergeant-at-ATms.
Mr.. Medl received the fall vote Of The
Democretic party. His election will give
universal satisfaction 10 his political and per-
sonaI friends, and we are confident that at tie
close of the labor of the convention lie will
receive the applause Of every member of that
body, for the dignity, ability auG fairness with
which he will have discharged his duties.
With Mr.. Gill, the Secretary, we have no
doubt but that all parties will be highly gra,
tilted. He is a gentleman Of nndono'ed
qualifications for the post, and possesses tic
good will and respect Of his extensive ac-
qualntance.
The fact that Mr. Gill, Mr.. Prenliss, Mr.
Arnold, aud Mr.. CarroIlon were elected rica
poce and without opposition, speaks highly
for their popularity, and we are assured no
expectation entertained by :her friends will
be disappointed.
The good feeling which prevails among the
delegates augurs well for The harmony anc
union of The Convention, in their ensuing
deliberations. Never ltave we seen simllOl
number of men assembled, among whom we
have knopn SO much ability and talent in al
parties. Guided as we must believe they at
will be, by motives of the highest patriotism
the utmost integrity, and most enlarged lib
eraIiiy, we cannot but anticipate glorious re,
suls from their action.
To our political friends we must offer ou
most sincere and earnest congratulations upor
The kind Of mon whom they have returned c
this Convention In The canvass which re-
suited in the election Of a majority of demo
cratic delegates, the friends Of democratic
reform and genuine popular advancement
seem to haue kedt in view the Importance O
TIE issues upon which their representatives
were to pronounce. 1t was understood lha
the change contemplated was not to be one
ofmere forms and shadows. 1t was war o.
radical principles--a contest as TO The distinct
opposite, aud uncompTomisIng interests o
certain hitherto existing classes on the one
hand, aud Of the people on the ulher. Look
ing 10 The present complexion Of the Conven
ton now IN session, the people have decided
in favor Of radical, thorough and sweeping
measures. They expect TO resistance Il
the utmost letter Of their demands, nor dc
hey calculate upon any measure compromi'
sing their wishes, as contradisiingn from
the polcy of those whose interests canho
receive the attention Of government, without
= pernicious disregard OF the cause of the
masses
We repent, the people hayo good reason tt
i hone for the FulfiIment of their wishes from
the action of this Convention. The powe'
is in their hands to accomplish every meas
ure of genuine d}nccratic reform, and we
cannot doubt that it viii be executed 10 the
utmost.
