OHIO STATESMAN.

| The Daily Statesman has recently beer
enlarged TO the size of the mammoth weekly
and very much improved in its typographical
appearance. We are pleased TO see this
evidence Of It's prosperity, and hope it will
prove something more substantial than empty
promises to lis enterprisng proprietor Ii is
now one OF the largest dallics in the country.
By the way, we observe that several Of
our cotemporary paper nre taking friend Me,
Diary to task -nnd for what, 10 past our com.
prehension. The attacks, to suy The Ienst Ct
them, are unkind and ungenerous towards
one who has SO long and faithfully served The
democratic party through evil as we'll as
good report. We are panied TO see it, and
Indeed, we have seen nothing to warrant it
Besides, such attacks furnish food for the
journal, and the enemies OF the democralic
party generally. They have already selzed
upon and are chuckling over it in high gee.
II these pugnacious gentlemen of the qlill,
desire the prostration OF the party--il they
wish to render il utterly powerless for good
they could not Lave hit upon plan more ef-
ieciua Tor iAe accomplishment Of such an OBJ
Jeci. But If the reverse be their object, then
we must say, their judgments are strangely
warped. Them's our sentiments.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CUNyEN-
TlON.

All eyes saws the Statesman, are being
turned to Ihe doings Of this body with more
Than usual nleresi. We hope for the best.
1t is moi news TO the public, that we were
disappointed in The spiritual unity Of The
democrats in this body, as developed soon
afer its organ zalion. Time, aud q change
Of location, do mot seem To improve them as
we should like To see. The wings, always
Opposed 10 reforms, touk advantage from the
first of this state of things, and as they were
really opposed To the Convention itself, they
were ever ready to delay its ucron, and en-
courage differences among those elected as
friends OF the measure, by democratic votes.
We hope-we Irusi-we conjure The dem.
ocrats 10 remember that they are democrats
and Ihat they will he held responsible for the
doings OF the Convention. That If nothing
is gained in the progress o! principles, the
movement will be failure. Where wrong
is confessed on all-sdes TO exist, duty de-
mands the correcting knife 10 be applied and
The wrong cut off. If every reform cannot
now be obtained, get enough 10 satisfy the
public feeling and lay the foundation for the
test to follow in time.
Since the vote on Repeal, we confess we
have some misgivrgs as to the future, bu, by
!
confidence that section of the kind will be
Indopted. We must have something 10 GUARD
the public against vicious leglslaion--somr
thing that will protect the people against the
absorption by Court precedents of popular
liberty something to protect the earnings
of labor from the grasp Of privilege and cap.

SOU III CAROLINA

We take the following paragraph from tht
late inaugural Address of Governor Mean,
Of South Carolina. It's only one among f;
number equally Weas0nabe. The whole
tone OF this address goes 10 establish the
conclusion that South Carolina has elected
either natural fool or madman to preside
over her councils:
"ln future days, the impartial historian, un
influenced by the passions aud prrjudIces
which surround US, aud possessing Inc ad'
vaulages OF the developments which time
| in lis progress will make as to The effect o
that event, will record this hated aud deridec
act Of nulifca,i0n AS the first step toward.
/ The restoration OF duwn uodden liberty
and the names of Calhoun, of Harper, oI
Hayne, of Turnbull, and oil Miller, with al
lheir talents, their patriotism, and their yir'
tues, will have no halo ol glory encircling
Them more brilliant than that which en~
shrines their memories in the hearts Of pos
terty t S the able defenders Of constitutional
liberty, md the fearless advocates Of The
only remedy by which the Union could have
been saved. No; we never have been false
TO The Union of our fdihers Just give us
back that glorious Union, under which just
and equal laws threw their broad agis over a
conlened, confiding, and happy people,
and we will cling 10 it with all the devoted
fonduess of child 10 lis mJther's iosnm.--
But to this Union with tyrauis and plnnderers
we owe no allegiance; tor 1t we have no love &,
under il we will not live, unless we are rec
reant TO all we have heretofore held dear or
sacred--to our honor, our interest ,ihc bright
example of 80 liant ancestry, ay, TO the
bright aud glorious destiny which awaits us.
II we could have saved the UriOn, we would
have done So If the South were united, us
their common dangers plead trumpel~tongued
they should be, it could bring back the Union
to lis original purity and dictate the terms
OF future security. But as long as these un-
happy divisions exist, as long as amongst
prominent puli,icens treason flourishes and
traitors are rewarded, the only hope which
is left us is TO be derived from bold hearts
and strong arms; and ii the Union 10 to be
dissolved, las dissolved il will be,) and all
the dIreful consequences are to flow from its
which the Imagination of some
have pictured If with its downfall the last
expiring shouts of Liberty are 10 be heard
let the cuIscs of posieri,y light not upon our
heads. but upon the heads of those who might
have saved il, but that they preferred the
