Talk about a Convention.


Some of our indiscIeet contemporaries to-
wards the North, are urging the propgiely
of holding a convention at an early day to
nominate State Ticket coutra TO the an
ii American, anti-Repp6lican affair. TO which
the Board of Public Works acted as ac-
coucaeur on the Democratic Sabbath of the
Sth. We think little patience viii sur
pass their present wisdom. The action OF
the convention at Columbus was suicidal
TO the interests Of Locofocoism. Il has ex-
cited no enthusiasm, its nominations are re-
ceived with coldness and apathy, and those
Of its resolutions which may be supposed
to rise 10 the importance of principles, are
very quietly repudiated by the Democracy
Of this region. Doctrines so rebellious to
every American interest as those of drying
up our manufactures, refusing to do any
thing for our rivers and harbors, indorsing
slavery, and openly espousing foreigners in
contradistiuc.ion to American citizens, will
work the ruin Of their supporters and build
up their opponents to tower of strength
Every patriotic element in our State will
rally to their opposition. Give the people
a little more time to think on these things.
Never mind the convention; when its wan

us time TO have ''free course" and it will

and other North west papers, are anxious
to bring on a crises now, in order to give
some favorite an inside track. The Ashta-
bula Sentinel. ditto. Keep cool, gentle
men! Count the votes of the last election
and see if Southern Ohio has no voice in
these matters! "Hasten slowly" and we'll
all move together Don't attempt to fore
stall action in the mass of the people. We
don't want your candidate; you don't want
ours-we want common candidate. 1t

Our sentiments exactly. and we are very
much mistaken if the same opinipn is not

publicans throughout the State. The nom

bringing an avalanche ofindignation on the
Locofoeo party which gathering as it rolls,
will sweep them into oblivion in October
next The first of August is soon enough
for Convention to be holden. An eight
weeks contest is long enough. A short

Sandusky County will give better report
than ever before. Republican blood beats
strongly here. last fall she done nobly. and

piss Ticket 500 majority next October.
The Portage Democrat, is of the opinion
that an early Convention should no! be
called, and thus refers to the matter:
Several Journals are in favor of an ear
ly State Convention, 70 put in nomination
a Peoples Ticket From this We dissent.
An early State Convention, in our judg-
ment, is not desirable Midsummer is ear
ly enough-eren the middle of August is
not too late. Let the campaign be short
and vigorous. Let our ticket be put through
by telegraph. on the Peoples Line. Let
us get ready and start fair. Such defeat
awaits the Slave Democracy of this State
as has never yet been SEEN"
