1slghtH Of JAauaty Democrats State
Convention.

Hlghth Of January Democratic State
GonHenticn.
EsAt 4 meeting of the Democratic State
Cepra ComniEtee, held at the Attorney
Generals Office, on Tuesday, December
IL, 1854, twas ordered,
That Democratic State Convention be
called; to meet in the city of Columbus, on
Monday, the 9th day Of January, 1866,
for the purpose Of nominating the follow
ing democratic candidates; for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Auditor of State,
Treasurer Of Slate, Secretary oil State, At
torney General, two Judges Of the Su-
preme Court, and one Member of the
Beard of Public works. ifg siw
Itwas also ordered that the ratio of re-
presentation in the convention should be,
one delegate for every five hundred DEM
ocratic votes cast in each county, for Gov
ernor at the election of 1853, and also one
additional delegate for every fractional
vote so cast exceeding two hundred and fif-
ty, as follows:
IIele follows table showing the mum;
Der Of delegates each county is entitled to.
Scioto is entitled to two. oos@,
The Committee invoke the Democracy
of Ohio to respond to this call, with the
unanimity and promptitude which the ex-
isting political crisis demands of that pa
triot party. We have been defeated, but
we confidently believe for temporary
period only, Our late overthrow wasoc-
cassioned by agencies which, with due
vigilance, can never successfully confront
us again. Neither an unprincipled eoal:-
ton of inharmonious factions, nor an un-
scrupulous secret political society, in COM
bination OF otherwise, can venture into the
field against us, if we resolve to go before
the world united in full array upon our es-
tablished principles, fully approaching the
exigency 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
Convention, is full of victorious promise.
The Committee earnestly trust that the
Democracy of every county will hold their
delegate conventions early, and send full
representations of picked and chosen men,
whose wise counsels shall result in an old
fashioned victory, and thereby inureto the
public welfare.

During the fiscal year ending 39th of
June last, seven millions of acres of public
lands were sold by the government, pro-
ducinga revenue of nine and half mil
lions of dollars. For several preceding
years the amount of revenue derived from
the sale Of land was about three millions
of dollars. The increase of sales during
the last year resulted not only from the
great increase of immigration, but from the
speculative feeling which pervaded all
classes, Money has, for year or two,
been SO abundant, that large investments
have been made by the rapid advance in
prices which has been going on. What
effect upon these operations the present
tight times is to have, remains to be seen.

President pieroe,s Message.

Our columns to-day are occupied main
ly by the annual message of President
Pierce. This document has been looked
for with unusual interest, and will be per-
used with eagerness by millions of free
men at home, whilst it will be sought for
and read with no less anxiety by the SUBJ
jects of European governments. Likeev-
cry other State paper that has emanated
from the same high source, the message is
pervaded by an elevated moral and political
tone, which will be fully appreciated by
the virtuous and the patriotic Of all nations.
The style is simple, concise, and unadorn-
ed, but forcible, expressive, and unambig-
uous. Each successive subject that it dis
cusses is presented in the fewest number
of words, and yet SO comprehensive and
full are the sentiments that nothing is left
to implication or inference, The sent-
ments throughout are elevated, patriotic,
statesmanlike, and pnrely American.
There is in every line Of the message a tone
Of conservative nationality, happily COM
bincd with the true spirit Of safe'progress,
which will command an enthusiastic re-
sponse from the American heart and mind
sectionalism in no form receives the least
countenance, whilst the great vital ptincf
pies of democracy are reasserted with an
energy and .earnestness which hwilliimpfesl
them strongly upon the popular mind 4

out this State as q day Of public thanksgiving to
Almighty God for the manifold blessings of the

one day in the year, the associations of their
youth, and to recount and gratefully acknowledge,
aroundsthe hearth stone, the mercies and fayors
of the past.

THE OFFICIAL FAPER oy CONGRESS, AND NEWSPAPER
FOR THE rEnrLE.
LORD BRouGuAM, in his Historical Sketches of
Statesmen who fourished in the time of George
the Third" gives ome remarkable examples,
showing the great loss sustained 10y England in
the history OF its statesman, and of its national
progress, though the imperfect state Of parlia-
mentary reporting in the former times. lie opens
his life of Lord CHATHAM thus:
"There S hardly any man in modern timea, with
the exception, perhaps, of Lord Somers, who fills
so large a space in our history, and of whom we
know SO little, as Lord Chatham and vet he is the
person to whom every one would Mt once point, il
he desired to name the most successful statesman
and most brilliant orator that this country ever
produced. OF Lord SomerS, indeed, we can scarce
ly be said to know anything at all. That he was
a person Of un;mpcachable integrity, Il Judge Of
great capacity and learning, n firm friend Of lib
erty, but a cautious and safe counselor in most
difficult emergencies, all are ready to acknowledge.
But the authority which he possessed among his
contemporaries, the influence which his sound and
practical wisdom exercised over their proceedings,
the services which he was thus enabled to render
in steering the Constitution safe through the most
trying times, and saving us from arbitrary power
without paying the price Of our liberties in anarchy
and bloodshed-nay, conducting the whole pro-
ceedings Of a revolution with all the dcliberatiOn,
and almost in the forms, Of an ordinary legal pro-
ceeding, have surrounded his name with n mild
yet imporishahle glory, which, in tho contrast of
our dark Ignorance respecting all the particulars
and details Of his life, gives the figure something
altogether mysterious and ideal. 1t is now unfor-
tuuately too late, by supplying this information, to
fill up the outline which the meagcr records of his
times have left ms. But it is singular how much
of lord Chatham, who llourishcd within the mem
Org of the present generation, still rests upon
vague tradition. As a statesman, indeed, he is
known to us b5 the events which history has re-
corded to have happened under his administration
Yet even of his share in bringing these about, lit
tie has been preserved of detail. So, Fragments of
his speeches have been handed down to as, bat
these bear so very small \ proportion to the prodi-
gious fame which his eloquenco has left behind it,
that far more is manifestly lost than has reached
us; while of his written compositions but a few
letters have hitherto been given to the world.
The imperfect state of parliamentary reporting
is the great cause of this blank"
What Somers and Chatham have lost in fame
by the oblivion Of all the mastery efforts OF their
minds which, welding the power Of Parliament

INDIANA woMANsRIGHTs CONVENTION

The Woman's Rights Association Of Indiana
held its annual meeting in indianapolis, common
cling on the Goth, ult. The Free Democrat of that
city contains a detailed account of its proceedings,
with brief sketches of its speeches. From this we
learn that the meeting was well attended and of
lively interest, commanding the attention and res
pect of the thoughtful and intelligent. Even the
Democratic journal, while it sneers at The meet
ing and its actors, comedies that "much truth was
illustrated and enforced, and many good things
said, &c.
Mrs. ELDA SMITH vas President Of the Conven-
fion. Mrs. Frances d. Gage and Mrs. c.. NJ. Sew
erance were the principal female speakers. Mr..
j.. A. Hine and numerous other gentlemen also
participated in the discussions.
The following resolutions were adopted by the
Convention.

that Women, one half of that race, are interdicted

will make the same reservations. and demand them

of the slave power should stimulate US to greater

Gus response The scarcity of the season should
serve to remind us that the slave has no resources,
no hope but the untiring efforts Of the abolitionists.
Grain, Flour, Fruit, Vegetables and provisions
OF every kind are particularly acceptable. We
would suggest that if our friends when laying up
their winter stores, would set apart II portion for
the Fair, it would then be ready to send by the first
opportunity. All kinds Of Merchandise, the pro.
