Central Committee, held at the AttOrnev
Generals Office, Tuesday, December l2
1854, it was ordered,
That Democratic State Convention b,
taied' to meet i'll the city Of Columbus, oi
Monday, the 3Sh day of January, 1855, fo
he purpose Of nominating he following
"tmocratic candidates: For Governor Lieu
'cnant Governor, Auditor of State, Treas
urer of State, Secretary of State, Attorne,
General two Judges of the Supreme Court
nd one Member OF the Beard Of Publ,

resen;atiOn in TIE convention should be one
delegate fer every FIVE hundred Democratic
yotcs cast in each county for Governor al
the election OF 1858, and also one addition.
al delegate for every fractional vote so cas-
exceeding two hundred and fifty, as follows
We omit the list of delegates. Harrison
county is entitled to TWO Delegates, il
having polled 1856 democratic votes in
1858.
The Committee invoke the Democracy Of
Ohio to respond to this call, with the unan-
lm!ty and prompttude which the existing
political crisis demands of that patriot party
We have been defeated, but we confidently
believe for a temporary period ouly. Our
late overthrow was occasioned by agencies
which, with due vigilance, can never sue
cessfulIy confront us again. Neither an un.
scrupulous secret political society, in CON-
blnatIon or otherwise, can venture into the
held against Us, if we resolve to go before
the world united in full array upon our es-
tabiished principles, fully appreciaing the
exlgency Of the times, and resolved to ap-
ply such policy to public affairs as the known
sentiment of the people demand. The very
day upon which We meet in State Conyen-
tion, Is full Of victorious promise.
Tie Committee earnestly uuat that the
Democracy Of every county viii hold their
delegate conventions early, and send full
representations Of picked and chosen men,
whose Wise counscls slall result in an old
fashioned victory, and thereby iuurc to the
public Welfare.

more faith in goll thsn in sAinplastcrs.--
1t says:
INFLUX OF GDLD.-Our droycrs who have
driven their hogs to thc East to market, are
returning with pockets lined with gold
Three gentlemen returned last week, bring
ing with them $4,000, m ,stly in twenty
dollar gold pieces. One of them lives in
Truro township, one in H.uilton, and tbs
other in Madison.
Why didn't the drovers sell their gold in
New York, in exchange for the notes of our
boas:ed State Bank Of Ohio? They could
have 1ealzed one and half per cent by the
operation, and saved tho immense labor and
risk of Juggling specie over the mountains
provided they had confidence that the
State Bank would have maintained itself un.
til they could reach home. The Journal
commends, virtually, the good sense Of the
9rovers, and we, in turn, commend the tenn
per Of the Journals paragraph, as an indi
cation of the progress Of sound opinions

n ebraska and Kansas.

In order to raise question which shall
forever overshadow that of African sla very
in the new Territories, we propose that an
emigrant aid society shall be organized for
the purpose of colonizing in Kansas all the
Bankers and others in Ohio, "who live by
their WITS" amounting, probably, to an ar
my Of about thirty thousand.
We then propose that the same number
of Germans and Irish, who are soo bnoxious
to the Native American Aristocracy, be
placed in Nebraska.
Then let an impossible wall be thrown
around the borders Of each territory, 80 AS
citectually to prevent "free trade" and at
the end Of the next hard winter allow A
committee Of Wing Know Nothings to scale
the walls aai examine and report the pro-
gress Of the two colonies. We think that
committee would behold sights!-that they
would thenccforth discard the notion that tile
manufacture of paper money is an element
of the wealth Of Nations; that they would
be effectually cured of their monomania
