Democratic STATE Convention.

The proceedings Of this body will be
found on the first page Of our paper. The
Convention is represented as very large
one. and its action as quite harmonious
The nominations of candidates for Supreme
Judge and Board of Public Works were
made by acclamation and were unanimous,
there being no opposing. candidates. The
action Of the Convention in this respect will
give universal satisfaction to the party. The
candidates are not unknown to the Ieople
Atthe election last fall they were candidates
for the same Offices, and were elected BY
larger majorities than were ever before Civ.
en- for any candidate in the State; and the
people will again cheerfuly honor them
with their suffrages.
The resolutions relating TO doctrines of
State and National policy, reiterate the doc
trines heretofore avowed by the party
they are the same upon which the Democ.
racy SO gloriously triumphed at the last
election, and will ever receive the sanction
and approval OF the people, because based
in the principles Of justice and right.
The resolutions expressing sympathy with
Kossuth and his cause, will receive hear
ty response from the Democratic masses
of Ohio and the entire West; and, indeed,
few will be the number Of any party who
will not unite in this expression.
A pretty warm and energetic discussion
arose upon the question of instrucling the
Delegates to the National Convention; but
we are assured that II was confined within
proper bounds, and that due regard was paid
to the feelings Of all. In the decision Of
that question, We think the Convention act
eG properly. e. 1t would be useless to give
10 the districts the choice of their own Del.
ega,es, and then to deny them the express
ion Of their preference through them, by
hampering their action by the resolves OF o
State Convention. The Delegates should
be, as they have been. left freely 10 repre>
sert the feelings and preference Of their re,
snectiye districts

Increase for 1851. 500, ,499 l3
This is remarkable increase under The
circumstances, and it is highly creditable to
the new Democratic Board.
The frs, thing the new Board did on or.
gnnizing for the year, was to reduce the
tolls at least thirty per cent? And yet by
the st riciest attention 10 their duties they
have saved nearly one hundred thousand
dollars to the Treasury of the State. This
is the difference between elecliDg men to
Office who attend to their business, and the
election of men who attend TO everything
but their business. All recollect the letter
of Mr.. Follett, who complained that he had
spent all his time ell clioneering, instead Of
his business, as President Of The Board under
Wing rule.
Look at this result. While the new
Board increased the tolls as pnid into the
treasury over ninety-six thousand dollars,
they at the same time by u reduction ol
tolls, say 20 per cent, left in The pockets
of the people, $256,sl3 37-the whole
amount of the tolls collected being 1856,
352 75 a greater amount than has ever
been collected in one year since the canals
were constructed, and this in the face of
the nuguries ofsome men that the Railroads
would ruin the Canals.
1t is the first time, also, that the Musking-
um and Hooking improvements ever paid
anything into the State Treasury.
The people Of Ohio may well oongra.u-
late themselves OH this favorable change in
their affairs-on the election of men TO Of
fee who faithfully perform their duties
that while the Treasury is replenshed with
increased revenues, the saving to the peo.
pie direct, is still vastly greater. No won
der that the Democratic vote all along the
canals was largely increased. The people
soon learn the difference between faithful
and unfuilhful servants.
1t is 10 be remarked that this great in
creased revenue during the past year, oc.
Cured with our immense wheat crop still
unthrashed. Had there been the usual de-
mand for wheat and flour the tolls would
have been vastly greater than they now
are, So much fnr Democratic measures,

What does 1t mean?

The following telegraph;c despatch from
Washington. of the date of the 18th inst.
is full ofsignifcance. of We hope there may
be something more than wind-work in this;
MIR. Webster is preparing response tc
the recent letter of Chevalier HuIsemann,
drawn forth by MIR. WIS speech at the
Kossuth Banquet, Its tenor has moi YET
transplred, but it is not improba BILE that the
Austrian Charge may be rendered his pass
ports.
There is something extraordinary going
on. The Naval Department is actively
engaged in ordering vessels to prepare for
sea, and collecting supplies and munitions
of war. Among other things, the Nedlter-
ranean Squadron is to be strengthened by
the addition of two vessels.

FIRE.-On Thursday night last. the
fran house near the Summit Mill, bnilt by
o. J. Noble, was entirely consumed by
fire. The fire was discovered between nine
and ten o'clock in the evening, but had SO
far progressed as TO render all attempts to
stay the flames entirely fruitless. The bull
ding, We are informed, was insured for
5000. There is no doubt that the fire
was the work Of an ince ldiary, as the
house had not been occupied for about two
years past.

~ An enthusiastic Kossuth meeting
was held in Cleveland on Tuesday last, and
a committee appointed to wait upon the
ilustrious Magyar in Pittsburgh, and invite
him to visit the Forest City. The Plain
Dealer thinks be will not be In Cleveland
much before Wednesday or Thursday. A
dispatch to the Pittsburgh Post says that
He will not reach Pittsburgh till Tuesday.
He will probably remain there two or three
days.

BIZ Quite scene occurred at Harris
burgh, Pe., on Wednesday last, on the oc-
casion of the reception of Kossutn by the
Legislature, which the telegraph reporters
characterize as most disgraceful riot. 1t
appears that some time before the hour for
tie reception had arrived, the populacs,
who were anxious to witness the ceremony,
had Gro .vded into the Hall of the House and
taken possession OF the seats designed to be
occupied by the members of the Senate, aud
were unwilling TO abandon their comiorta-
bic quarters to the Solons wher requested SO
to do. Wherepon the crowd were denounc-
ed by members as "noisy rabble," but
this proved Intellectual, and the military
was called out and took possession of the
doors and several arrests were made; but
all efforts to clear the seats Of their occu-
pants (mostly lades,) proved unavailiDg,
and they were compelled to proceed with
the ceremonies in their presence. When
Kossuth was introduced the confusion was
so great that the reception was suspended,
and an effort made TO close the doors, but
the mob had acquired the ascsndency.-
Amid this scene Of confusion Kossuth sat
calmly looking on, not feature Of his face
disturbed. When order was partially re-
stored Kossuth spoke for about Is minutes,
and it was not until he had finished that
the scene of confusion ended.

Increase Of Tolls on the Ohio Canals.

We published several days ago, from the
Cincinnati Price Current, a statement of
the increase Of tolls on the Ohio Canals for
the past year. Where the Price Current
got its statistics we know not, but on inquiry
we find i, greatly in error.
The Price Currents figures make the
increase Of tolls for 1851, $3l. .426 66
while the real increase is $96, 500 Is =
making a difference in favor of the Canals
of $65 ,O73 At over three times the amount.
The true comparative statement is as
follows:
