OF the State, and the principles and senti'
ments OF the democracy OF Ohio, -embodl.
ed in the resolutions Of the Convention.
The Convention, as we have alreddy
said, embraced men of that high political
and personal standing, from whose labors
and deliberations we all had reason to ex
pect results of the most satisfactory. and
inspiring character. The Democracy ! OF
Ohio, evinced by the delegation which they
sent up from every part Of the State, that
they appreciated the Importance OF the
crisis.
The Convention discharged well the du'
ties incumbent upon them. They have
given US ticket wholly unexceptionable,
and we say, iearlessly Of any successful
criticism, that every candidate therein ma.
med presents every desirable claim TO pop
ular support and confidence, on the score
OF personal character and official qualilica-
ton. 1t would have been impossible for
the Convention 10 have erred in the ticket.
They had men before them. all Of whom
were worthy of any post of honor at the
hands of the democracy. for any office OF
trust from the people. No one can say
that the selections are not worthy the wis
dom Of the delegates, the expectations OF
the people, Of the claims of the men cho.
sen.
The resolutions are in apt conformity to
the spirit of the hour. and the nature Of the
contest. They re-affirm the doctrines OF
the democracy upon the great questions OF
constitutional reform, and properly keep
those questions in the foreground, in order
that they shall not be forgotten or lost
sight of, when men in power come to the
point where the New Constitution must be
put into action. State affairs. the interests
of the people of Ohio. are now of para
mount and pressing necessary. The whig
State Convention left too much latitude for
abuse. by omitting succinct and explicit
avowal OF their policy. in view OF the re-
cent constitutional reform.
The people are reminded. by our reso-
lutions, that their home matters are OF chlei
concern-and they have the assurance that
the democracy are determined upon set
Ting the action OF our State firmly on the
wholesome and sautary basis devised by
the New Constitution, which has been
thought worthy Of d majority of tens OF
thousands. The State convention found
it their legitimate business to G i've us State
ticket. and to shadow forth the measures
involved in the canvass, as confined TO the
State. . ...
The alluson of the resolutions to the
corruptions and robberies Of the national
treasury by the Galphin administration are
surely well timed, and in no wise too point.
