The time is fast approaching when il will
be necessary to hold State Nominating
Convention, TO make preparations for per-
haps the MOST important political campaign
that has ever beon fought in Ohio. Acan.
didale for President Of the Board Of Public
Works has to be nominated in any event, as

stilulion be adopted candidates for various
other high offices will have 10 be selected

full representation, and seeing the Whig
masses OF the State assembled once more in

election, on Tuesday, the 11h Of June, the
day Of voting on the new constitution, in

IMPORTANT FROM THE SANDWICH

We have received files of The Polynesian
TO March 14,h, also letter TO the same date.

for the Government 10 decide whether to &C.

that If either the one or the other be a,lcmp-
ted, that moment will be the signal for run

and his ministers. tha, if The French attclnp,
10 blockade or take possession, the Govern
ment will hois, the stars and stripes, and
throw the kingdom upon The protection Of lhe
United States. We think our authority for
saying this is perfectly reliable, This
course has been decided upon in conse.
quence Of The inability of the Islands TO
contend against the forces which France
nigh, send against them, and also from the
fact that the almost entire interest Of tho Is
lands is in the hands of foreigners, princi-
pally Americans. In Honolulu, at least
three-fourths Of the foreigners are Ameri.
cans, their number being at least 1000,
while in the same place the number of

A CASE UNDER THE ANrI-LIQUoR

At the presen. Term Of the Court Of Com
mon Pleas in Ross County. John Hirn was
indicted under the laws Of last winter, for
selling liquor inless quantity than quart
since the lsl Of May. The defendant SET
up and proved an unexpired license, granted
before the passage Of the Statute now in
force, and the question thus presented was
fully argued.
The Couu held, says the Scioto Gazette.
that the licensing system was police reg
ulalion, which the Legislature could estab-
lish or abolish at will, and that the right con-
(erred by license TO sell liquor did not a.
mount TO the dignity Of franchise. The
defendant was fined the smallest sum fixed
by the act defining the offence for which he
was prosecuted. o.iI
