The time is fast approaching when il will
be necessary to hold State Nominating Con-
vention, to make preparations for perhaps the
MOST important political campaign that has
ever been fought in Ohio A candidate for
President of the Board of Public Works has
to be nominated in any event, as a member of
that body is now annually elected by the peo-
pie: and should the new constitution be adop-
ted, candidates for variour other high offices
will have to be selected. In view, then, of
the great Importance Of securing, at our next
State Convention, full representation, and
seeing the Wing masses of the State assem-
bled once more in council at the Capitol, as
in days of yore, the Committee request Che
Wings of the State, at the several places of
holding the election, on Tuesday. the 18th Of
June, the daylof voting on the new eonstitu-
ton, in their respective townships, between the
hoursof and 8 P. NJ. to appoint delegates to
the said Convention, one for every hundred
Wing votes, and an additional delegate for
every fraction of6fty in the township, Teach
township to have tleast one delegate taking
the Gubernatorial vote of 184S as basis of
representation.
The Wing party of Ohio stands on the same
platform it has ever stood, The RESOLU-
TIoNS Of 1S4s and 1850 and there is no
reason that It should not again triumph, if the
friends of the principles contained in these
resolutions will only work together
The delegates thus appointed on the 18th
of June. viii assemble in Convention at Co
lumbusson Thursday, the Sd of July, for the
purpose of transacting such business as the in
Ierest of the party may demand This day
has been selected because to hold the Con-
vention later would throw it into harvest OF
the sickly season. The Wing County Central
Committees win apportion to each township
the number of members to which it is enti-
tied under the basis prescribed, and give due
notice thereof, and as soon as the delegates
are appointed, forward list of their names tc
the Ohio State Journal for publication. Each
county, whatever may be the number of its
delegates, will be entitled to one vote for every
Eve hundred whig votes, and an additional
vote, for every fraction of two hundred and
fifty cast at the Governors election in Is4s
The following is the proportion of each
county according to this basis:

Freaks of lightning.

On Thursday afternoon last, while severe
thunder storm was passing over our town, a
'streak of lightning" struck telegraph post
on the east side of the river, and passed along
the wire until it entered the the telegraph of
flee, and notwithstanding both the ground
wires were in their proper place, and a con-
nexion otherwise made to carry off the fluid,
the volume was SO great that it entirely dis
regarded all the natural conductors, and en-
tered the machine, and rendered it entirely
unfit for future use. A new one viii have to
be obtained.
The volume of fluid is said TO have appear
ed as large as "a bushel basket" and when ii
exploded, made report as loud as cannon.
A very large volume of fluid was seen
to pass down the conductor atthe Old North

was done. Il run itself into the ground

An article in the Washington Union states
that about forty miles from Brownsville, in a
northeast direction, lies The famous Salt Lake
called the Sal del Rey Itcoyers about four

quality ofthe water that there is clear pure

In early times, this Salt Lake yielded a large
