WIG CONVENTION.

We give the proceedings in full. From
every quarter the response comes that the
ticket is good one. The nominees are gen.
orally new men, but are Wings, good and
true. We regret that we had no candidate
from this section OF the State-but the Whirs
OF Eastern Ohio will vie with their breathren
in any and every other section of the State,
in their eXertions to roll up majority for the
nominees, that shall sweep locofocosm from
within our borders,-The incapacity and ex-
travagance of the present Legislators is so no.
torious that it seems hardly worth while to
refer to them. Nine months of Legislation
seems to have only made confusion worse
confounded-laws have been passed, and 9TH
laws passed at the same session, to change
them.--Salaries raised fifty per cent, and
mare IF Mem--the per diem of the Legislators
raised to four dollars per day-laJorers to have
their wages reduced fifty per cent-thsre are
among the acts of this Legislature which
have caused locofocoism to stink n the nos.
trils of the people. Let there be united and
determined action on the part of the peo-
pie, and the State may be relieved of the in
cubus which is sinking her, and of the YAM
pires that have been sucking her vitality from
her.
The State Journal speaks Of our candidates
as follows:
OUR NOMINEES.
We have heard very general and hearty
approval of the Wing State ticket, which was
put in nomination by the Convention on the
22d inst. The candidates are mostly men
who are known to the people of the State
NELSON BARRERE, our Candidate for Cover
nor, has served a term in Congress with much
credit. He is known as a man of ability and
character. /. ]. ALLEN is an accomplished
lawyer, and has all the elements of an able,
dignifled officer. HENRY BRAKEMAN is the
Wing member of the House from Hamilton
| county. He is an able, wealthy German, and
| the fact that he obtained nearly 1000 maior-
ty in Hamilton county is evidence of his pop
ularity at home. N. II. VANVoRHEs is the
House, and is known as prompt, efficient
and reliable man. He is comparatively young
and is very popular with all classes. VIM.
II. GIBSON is the well known eloquent and
distinguished lawyer of Ttiiin. He has made
his mark in Ohio, and stands in the front rank
of her young Wings. AS lawyer he is en-
tireIy superior to his opponent; as man, in
all the walks of life he has no superior.
FRANKLIN Il. BACKUs, of Cleveland, is w>ell
known, not only on the Reserve, but over the
State, as an able lawyer, and prompt cor
rect business man. He served as Senator
from the Cuyahoga District some years since
with decided ability. He is recognized among
| lawyers as a man of talents, and he would
make an able member of the Supreme Court
JOHN WAppLE, Of Coshocton county, has been
engaged, for long time, as engineer in va
rlous public works Of the State. He is a
practical man of undoubted capacity, and ex-
perience. .... -'.r r-.-
Such is brief sketch of the men who have
been selected by the Wings of Ohio as their
candidates for the ensuing campaign. They
comply with the JefIersonan test. They
are honest, capable, faithful They are true
Republicans, and eminently worthy of the
support of all the friends of order, O: law, oil
state and national good faith, of economy and
integrity in the affairs of the State. Let the
people inquire into their merits, and, at the
proper day, give them their confidence and
their votes.
