Great WING Convention of 1851.

Great VvIlig Convention of 1851.
9rhe State ticket which we place at the head
Of our columns to-day, is one Of which the
Wings of Ohio may well be proud There is
not man uponit but is connected with the
history Of the Buckeye State, and each Of the
nominees have Iabored for its welfare. Never
before was so much of intellect and wisdom
assembled in convention at Columbus. and the
deliberations were characterised bygood feel
ing and enthusiasm. The ticket presented is
Wing all over. and it will be the glory of the
Wings of Ohio to sustain it manfully.
Our exchanges respond to the nominations
with an enthusiasm which augurs well for the
general satisfaction with which they are re-
ceiyed, and shows that the fires in the old
Wing Wigwams are not dead, but merely
slumber, which win burst forth by the ides ol
October with force that will consume the
last remnant of Locofocoism in our glorious
State. s
Even the Ohio Statesman is compelled to
acknowledge that the Wings have selected q
strong ticket to fill the various offices of State
That paper speaks as follows Of the GOnYen-
ton and the Wing candidates: ...
"The convention was composed Of over two
hundred delegates. They were all respecta-
bic in point of talents, and the proceedings
were generally conducted with fair degree
| of order; every thing passed off with spirit,
Well, Democrats of Ohio, there is the ticket
which you have to oppose. Its leading mem
bers are respectable men. Altogether the
Wings could not have selected. loom theil
ranks ticket much stronger s.ii 7a a. 81
That is our opinion exactly, and we thinl
the people Of the State will say next fail,.in q
manner that will be alarming to the treasury
suckers of the Locofoco party, that they view
the matter in the same light. A united exer-
ton on the part of the Wings, will secure them
splendid triumph next October. , ..7"

has rendered the State more essential service
For twenty FIVE years he has labored in Con
gress, and il was no disparagementto to others
to say that by his strict integrity his squire and
unspotted morality, his courteous, gentleman

| No man who knows any thing, of Congress
for many years past, will deny the great res

the views and opinions of Mr.. Vinton. He
was listened to with more attention than any
other man since the death of Adams; and wher
he announced that he would not again be 6
candidate for congress, there was bnt one
expression ofregret at the national loss, from
all parts of the Union.
Such is our candidate for Governor. We
are proud of him and proud of the Whig par

eminent worth. That he will be elected, we
