State Convention Of Iath Ju,v.

The calls for this convention of the re-
al Democracy of Ohio are coming in from
the different counties fully signed by men
of all political parties--Whigs, Demo.
Gratis, and Frcesoilers. This looks well.
On comparing opinions with friends
from different parts of the State, we find
a very general dissent from the recon.
mendation for mass convention at this
season of the year, to be held at the same
time with the Delegate Convention, The
farmers will be in the midst of their har-
vest and if we are to have another vsi
tation of cholera, it will be along about
that time. A Delegate Convention is
wanted, for consultation and for future ar.
rangement. Not less than two should be
sent from any county--three if convent
ent; and from that number up to six or
eight from larger counties according to
population, with the exception of IIamil.
ton, which will Of course claim To be
heard according to her strength.
With Convention Of the right sort of
men-representing the true feelings of the
PEOPLE on the momentous issue now pre-.
sented--much good will be done old
prejudices will be done away; and a
foundation will be laid for permanent and
consistent action, by which the councils of
the nation will be purged of the plant
tools of Southern Aristocracy.
If our brethren of the press agree with
us in these suggestions, no time should be
lost in calling attention to the subject
In many of the counties mass Conven.
tons are being held for the choice of Del.
egates. From these assemblages the
Delegates will receive their instructions,

Fourth of July.

The anniversary Of our National Independence is
fast approaching and yet there has been but little
said or done in regard to celebrating the day in
suitable and appropriate manner, We hope that
some Of our older and prominent citizens will take
the matter in hand aud prepare for one Of those old
fashioned celebrations that in times past and gone,
reused the true American spirit in the bosom Of w'
ry true patriot Ii there is any one thing TINT claims
thought from this free people It Is that event which
occurred on 9TH day Of July, l77G, in old ludcpen-
dsnee Hall at which period those few brave hearts
the representatives Of our then feeble thirteen littlo
Colonies declared that no longer should the yoke Of
oppression encilce their necks but that they would
be free and Independent aud that ii by no other
means. by the sword. The victory was gained, we
were proclaimed free people, and now VIC are
on the eve Of another snniversay Of that memorable
day, with IhiHy-Ono free aud happy States. Let
u then, meet together once more and celebrate this
great and glorious day. Let every man act. In the
words Of that grent, but now departed Statesman,
Daniel Webster rt there be tho beating Of drums,
the firing Of cannon and the burning Of bon.iircs,
beard and seen, from one end Of tie EdIon to ~
other.
wears happy to notice that tho different Sabbath
Schools are making arrangements to celebrate the
day IN an appropriate manper.

N" AOnhb OulC -
The Arctic reached her dock at 2
o'clock. She brings dates to the a8th.
It's stated that the French army in Tur.
key will be augmented to 10000 men.
The protocol has been signed by the
representatives of the four powers, assert.
ing their intention to maintain the integ-
rity of Turkey.
Austria and Prussia demand the evac-.
uation of Turkish territory.
The Russians were endeavoring to cut
off communication between Varna and
Silistria.
The combined fleets were still cruising
before Sevastopol.
The Greek Bishop had been arrested at
Pesth as Russian emissary, and impris-
oned.
There was important papers found up
on him.
The rebellion in Thessaly is gaining
ground.
1t was rumored that the Russians being
unable to defend the seaboard Of Circas.
sia, had evacuated all their positions from
Matoma to Anapa, burning all their own
forts. after which they returned to Kentz.
The Circassians came down and took

Referring 10 the reports Of Russian ar
mics twelve or fifteen hundred thousand
strong (says well informed foreign Off
Ger, they are like the fabulour twelve
hundred thousand soldiers of the first
French Republic, which, with its fourteen
armies, never brought third Of that num-
ber into the field. 1t is easier to bring
imposing cyphers than solid battallions in
to a line. Glancing at the distracted fl
nancial condition of Russia, at the aver
sion to the war attributed 10 the majority
of the nobility and commercial classes
whose pecuniary burthens augment as
their resources diminish and at the diff
ficulty Of recruiting, argued by the vol
lent means resorted to,-the writer pro-
ceeds to a consideration of the strength
of the army. After the dismissal, in 49,
81, of the $4,000 men raised by extraor-
dinary levies after l848, the remaining
sum was 100000. A few months ago,
the Czar decreed levy of nine men to
the thousand inhabitants on the popula-
ton of all his dominions. At the exag-
gerated estimate of sixty-fve millions,
this population would accordingly furnish
$4,000 troops. But Siberia, Tartary,
the regions about the North Sea, and the
Caspian, would send at best only a few
barbarous hordes, without discipline or
capacity of discipline remain Central
Russia, Poland and the Ukraine-that is,
population of less than thirty millions,
giving 100000 raw recruits. Make al
lowance for deserton, disease and death,
between the date of their conscription
and their entrance into the active army,
and now admit that Nicholas has raiseo
his army to 100000 men. But he has at
the same time multiplied his points Of OBJ
servation and defense, and added to the
importance and difficulty of both classes
of operation. Finland, Poland, CircaS-
sia, the Asiatic line from KarS to the from
tiers of Persia, Odessa, 'Sevastopol; in
surrection to be kept down here; Scha'
myl to be held in check there English
and French to be met on the shores of the
sea. All these points and lines cannot
be well covered with less than 420 600
soldiers. Of the immense army of $780,
600 bayonets and lances, but 1870, 900 re-
main to keep open the ways of communi-
cation, to guard Moldavia and the line Of
the Danube, and to furnish an invading
force. Suppose the invading force be-
yound the Danube numbers then, l00,.
900. To suppose that force there are two
entrenched camps, five strong places held
by large garrsons, and several corps d'ar-
NEE, which, united under Omar Pacha,
will muster 10000 strong in line. Add
to these the Anglo French troops, which
will be always there to fall upon the Rus
sian flank
