The L.ocacoco Convention.


Good reader, were you in the courthouse
on Monday last at the sitting of the locoioco
Convention? ? If you were not, you missed
seeing great MANY strange things and some
of which we fear you will never have an op-
portunity Of seeing again At one O'Clock the
Delegates assembl and organized themselves
into Democratic Convention After the nre-
liminary business, the candidates FOR the differ
ept offices were announced, and the balloting
soon began. Everything passed of as snoothiy
as nut. meg Crater, until he candidates for Au-
Gitor was being ballojed for, and then came
the 'rug of war, the time to "try brave
mems souls" Three candidates we've in the
field for Auditor Ramsey, Liuell and Nc
Lain. On the first ballot Ramsey received 7
townships, Liltell 5, and McLain 2-eight be-
ing necessary for choice. Mex. ballot came,
and it was evident that something must be
did, or Ramsey, the peop PET would be de-
feated and accordingly when Brown township
was called-Mr Paesler, Rota dcIsgate, squeal'
ed cut Ramscy-whcreupo one Of The Dele
gates, as was a delegate, sent up his protest tc
the chair in manner not to be mistaken -
lie said that The 'D,legales from B,oWn had
been instructed to go Tor Lltlell as long rs
there were any hopes Of him receiving tn,
nomination, and lhen if they must give Lit
tell up, to 90 for NcLan" Mr. Paeser said
Ramsey must have Brown hat if he got the
nomination he would get the vote Of Brown
he would geta mJority! Mr. Delegate struck
his fists together and said he be d-dif he
ramsey could get his vote, Another gen
tIeman, who was not a Delegate, said that
Paesler was not voting the sentimints of Brown
tp that she was instructed to go for Liltell
and the Convention decided to take the vote
for Mr. Litlell The balance of the ballolting
was conducted with harmony ; and the Chair
having appointed a committee to draft rcsou'
tions, the committee retired, and while out
the balance Of the Delegates, about six, and
twice that many Wings and outside locos, were
cha ned by the burning eloqucnce of R J. At
knsoU, Esq, the erpectmt candidate for re-
election TO tn Senate Of Ohio,
GAh, reader, there is where you missed it,
That speech 1t twould have more Than paid
any Democrat or Wing to spent shilling to
have heard Hat speech
Mr. A, started off by proclaiming that the
"Whig party is dead" That the formaIity
Of State Convention had been gone through
by the Whigs-ihat no Wing kacw whether
the ticket put in nomination by that tormaiiy
would be voted Tor n,xrFaII Or not. But no.
tice, before he had closed hisremnks, in speak.
ing Of the last Legislature and its extravagan.
ces, he said the caad'doe cfHe Wig party for
Auditor Of State, was member Of The last Ie.
gislature, and that YOU are asked to pote for
his man, by Wings, in preference to the nom
inees ofthe Democratic Convention. Is not
this a contradiction
In the mex place, Mr., A, said THE foymol.
iy OF "a County Con enlion of the Wings of
Carroll co. had been had-a mere formalilv-
that there was no life nor substance in it" &c..
&C.,
1.-THE number, or the interest taken in the
Wing Convention amounted only to formal EtV.
will some young America Locoloco be SO kind
"a to reduce the Loeofoco Convention do,Cn to
it's fractional parts, and tell us what kind of
0ldy il was made Of For the ben, ft of those
who NAV not see his reduction of VVLGIP
fractions We will just state that as we viewed
tn, Locofoco Convention we thought it could
not BE- reolity-but on the other hand it was
downright Asc-oliy.
The Resolutions we did not hear but presume
they are based on the "pure and undefed'
principles Of the 'Untenifed Democracy.
