! We attended the Convention Of the 18th
at Columbus, from which we retul ned yester
day evening, at too late date to give ful
proceedings this week. The convention wa:

racy Of the city to be the largest delegate
Convention ever held in the Capital, and was
composed Of men of all parties, who were de.
termned to put things to rights in the ma.
tcn.
The nominees are Hon. Joseph R. Swan
/ of Franklin, for Supreme Judge, and Jacob
Blickensderfer, Jr., for Member of the Board
OF Public Works. Every man knows Judle
Swan, the author of Swans Treatise, and
other aluabe works on the law; an hones
Democrat of the Old School; and Jacob Blick.
ensderier, Jr., is perhaps rs favorably known
to the people Of the State as a former Mem
Der of the Board, and gentleman of exten
sive knowledge on The subject of the Public
, Works of the State
I The Convention was characterized by en-.
lire unanimacy, the utmost good feeling pre-
vailed, and determination was apparent to
chastse the Administration and its 'toades'
for their departure from the principles which
they had pledged to support, in the mos'
effectual manrer. This will be done in Oc
tober next to the entire satisfaction of the
People.
From the Urbana Citizen & Gazette.
We give to day very full account Of til
proceedings ofthe Peoples Convention, hel
at Columbus on the 18th inst 1t was tn
largest political delegate assembly ever con
vened in the Stale, and all the delegates il
attendance from this county concur in opin
ion that it was the best convention they eve
attended. The utmost good feeling prevail
ed throughout. 1t is true there was grea
diversity oc opinion in the Convention, but
all readily yielded to the general spirit of han
mony. But one spirit seemed to actuate al
and that was the spirit of resistance to tn
extension of slavery. On this point the issu
is now fairly made up between the people o
Ohio and the Administration. That the peo
pie will meet it in way worthy ofthemselye
we have no doubt.
