before taking the third ballot, all but the
three highest candidates we're dropped.
All the other candidates were nominated
on the ffst ballot. Upon the nomination Of
Mr.. Allen, who is from Richland county, for
Lieut.. Governor, he was called upon and
thanked the Convention for the honor done
him by the nomination, and pledged all his
energies to the success Of the ticket. He
thought that in the nomination of Governor
we had erected bdrrere to the further pro-
gross of Locofocosm. Though the Wing
PARTY had been wrapped in the cerements of
the grave, and laid away for dead, it did
not yet stink, and it would be yet resurrected
in q way fearful to Locofocoism. Though
we had been dreadfully defeated at the late
election, yet that defeat might yet prove a
God-send, in the same manner as the pious
old lady thanked the Lord for the leaves that
a graceless scamp threw into her door,
which she called a blessing though the devil
brought it. Mr.. Aliens remarks were en-

The Journal remarks that {" the Conven-
tion was much more numerously attended
than many OF our friends anticipated. The
firm, true, and unaincl,ing Wings Of the
State were there When such men as the
Venerable John Johnston, the old Indian
agent, Elk Governor BARLEY, &c, &C., leave
their homes to attend political convention
Of the true republicans of the State, on the
anniversary 0f the birth day of the Futhcr
OF his Country, it is proof positive that our
cherished principles have vitality, a vgor,
that cannot be crushed by one or two tenn
porary defeats, but will still exist, and, in a
short time, become the controlling element,
as il has for so many years beenji the policy
Of our great and noble State. All that is
valuable in our institutions has received its
impress from Wing policy time will
show to our people the great mistake they
made, when they transferred the political
power Of the State to the party that now
controls all departments of it. Look at
the Legislature and its doings. Are the
=, people satisfied with them Have they re-
deemed the loud-solnding promises Of ere
trenchment and REFORM" upon the strength
of which they have clambered into power
Have the expenses of legislation been re.
duced Have the various departments ol
tbe government been managed better OF
cheaper than they were when the Wings
had control Of dffairs ! Have not these men
demonstrated again, as they did from l84l
to lS45, that they have neither the cdpdcit,
nor the integrity to manage the affairs o.
the State as they should be, and as the peo.
Pile have fight to expect they will be man
b aged! The same round will be run now
snd the same results will be inevitable, thai
followed then. The people, the tax payers
the intelligent msn Of the State have go
about enough of the humbug promises ant
adverse performances Of our opponents
The Convention, yesterday, afforded one
evidence of these results"
