Ohio Convention.
From the Cincinnati Gaaette.

+ rom the cincinnati Od2ette.
The Convention at Columbus was a
delegate meeting, aud was one Of the lar
gest OF the kind held there for many years
Nearly every county in the State was rep
resented BY delegates fresh from the peo.
pie. IL was none Of your Legislature eau
cuses or eighth Of january "tinpan' an
rangements, controlled by few wire pull
lers, and used as a blind to mislcad the
honest yeomanry Of the State. 1t was what
it purpor'ed to be, peoples convention,
brought together 10 make nom nations and
give utterance to the sentiments of the
freedom Of Ohio, upon one Of the grossest
wrongs ever perpetratrd upon the people
of the Free States by The United States
Congress.
The nominations, we believe, will meet
with the approval Of vast majority of the
voters of Ohio, and will be triumphantly
sustained in October next, at the polls.
The candidates are emnetnly fitted for
the respective stations which they have
been selected to fill, and they are true re-
presentatiyes of the anti.Nebraska scnti
men;, which is so strongly felt and so
general in the State. OF course they will
be assaled and the Convention will be as
sailed by the office holders and pensoned
presses of the imbecle administration nt
Washington. The attacks, however, will
do no harm. They will only serve to amuse
the masses, and render the overthrow of
the slave extending, compromise breaking
administration more signal. The day has
gone by when either the President or
Priest-craCt, when opposed to popular
rights, can thwalt the will Of a free people
The signs Of the times indicate great
moral reformation in the politics of the
country. The people have born and for
borne for many years the misrue Of weak
Presidents, and the treachery Of doughfaces
and trcksters, and have resolved to elevate
the standard of political morals The mere
mandate of a cent raj committee, on the
endorsement of caucus, will no longer
avail. There must be capacity, courage
and principle in the candidate, before he
can beget their confidence and receive their
votes.
We regard the conventions which have
recently been held in Michigan, Indiana
and Ohio, as the legitimate conseque noes
of this higher phase of political morality,
the need of which is so strongly felt by all
thinking men. 1t viii 90 on from day to
day, gaining strength, and in the end will
rescue the nation from The dominion Of
second rate politicians. and place the des
llnies Of the Republic where they can with
safety be reposed, in the hands of v lltried
experienced, aud upright statesmen.

THE JOURNAL:
County Officers.

We notice that there is to be elected this fall,
in this county, Clerk Of the Court of fCommon
P leas, Probate Judge, County Treasurer, Com
missioner, and lnfrmary director.
Now, citizens, of Sandusky County will you
choose these men, or will few talking, trad
ing, cum ing politicians at the county seat, fix
things for you and then call you together 10
carry ou their designs. There is little secret
society Of smart young men in this town, kind
ly engaged in contriving how they shall re-
lieve you from a n trouble in this business, and
manage matters for yo u, and all they ask is
that YOU ole as THEY desire! We are friendly
to all lab or saving enterprises; but they might
90 further, nd save you the time Of conven-
tions and voting, and we would recommend to
them that course as an improvement on their
system. We call il secret society; because,
they talk in whispers, call one another aside in
counsels; who shall talk to this man, who can
best fetch that old farmer right, &C.; at least
so we are informed. Just keep your ears open
and you may accidentally now and then heaI
them whisper just enough to let one know there
is some wonderfully deep plan on foot, about
candidates, and all this.
w ould il not be well for tho voters Of this
county to look little after their own interests.
Think of your taxes. See where the money
goes. Now we say we shall make no political
est for these Offices, save one, and that is, the
man must stand out in clear daylight, against
the encroach ments Of The Slave power, and as
- IL i t,r,n lrs
Il the candidate be in this position and is wor'
thy, honest and well qualified, We will support
him regardless of party or party name.

They also say, "that reports of cholera and

with what foundation in truth they have been
made may now be Inferred" Does the Regis

had cholera in their city2 They have not
said there was none. Is the above number all
the deaths that have occurred there for the past
three months, or only the number that have
been inferred in one burial ground? If the

are indeed blessed with unusual good health,
and have been most wickedly slandered, and
that too, By their o,1n ciiisens.

A few days since while the River and
Harbor Appropriation Bill was under dis
cussion in Committee of the Whole, Hon. E.
Wade, Representative from the Cuyahoga
Dis moved TO increase the amount mention
ed for Cleveland Harbor, from $4,000 to
$4,000, supporting the motion by able re-
marks and statistical facts. The amount Of
customs collected at that port amount to
more than 100000 per year. J. W. Gray,
the servile tool of the Administration and
editor of the Cleveland Piaindedler, says
the remarks of Mr.. Wade were truly Just
and to the point, but that an amendment
so reasonable could hardly have failed had
it been as clearly aud ably presented 10y
any but an avowed abolitionist." The peo-
pie Of the Cuyhoga district, can now see
how the Slayeocracy are trying to punish
them BY Withholding appropriations to their
harbor, because they have elected to Con
gres0 man who will not get down on his
knees TO them as does }. w. Gray. 1t is a
sin, in the eyes of the South, to be free
man, and unless the north will send dough-
faces to Congress to do their bidding. their
rivers and hardors may 90 to decay and the
vast commerce of the West be unprotrct-
ed. How long will the north put up with
such treatment? The day of reconing will
come, and the cringing sycophancy of such
doughfaces as Gray of the Plandealer will
get their just deserts.

CINCINNATI COURT ScENE.-Jake Finn,
who for some time was Special Judge Of
the Cincinnati Criminal Court, and until its
abolition by the last Legislature, is bound
10 keep his name before the people in some
shape, came very near having his chances
for Representative to Congress cut short by
bullet the other day. The following ac
count Of the disgraceful transaction we take
from the Cincinnati Gazette:-
"On Friday morning last, learning that
writ in aid Of an execution had been sued
out in the Probate Court against him, and
a banking firm had been subpenaed to give
testimony in regard to his depostes, the
distinguished Criminal Judge entered the
office OF Judge Warren, adjoining the court
room, as Mr.. Stephen Clark, Attorney, the
bringer of the suit, entered, when Judge
Finn, in the most violent and denunciatory
language, coupled with oaths, threatened to
chastse Clark. The self-possessed Attor.
ney, with his tight hand in his pocket, told
the enraged Judge to keep off; but Finn
was about pitching into him, when Judge
Warren step in between them and preven-
ted further judicial proceedings or Clark
would have shot the combatve Judge at
the drop of hat The Probate Judge sent
for the Sheriff to take Judge Finn to jail
which was only prevented by the cooling
down of the Judge. The miraculous pres,
ervation Of this candidate in this row, and
at an upset next day a, the races, seems to
augur some chance for his getting to Con.
gress. where fight on a big scale can be
gotten up"
