The Thirteenth July Convention.

In this days issue We give an account
Of the proceedings Of the Convention
which assembled in Columbus last Friday.
From published accounts, as we'll as from
eye witnesses. We learn that the utmost
good feeling existed among the members
of the Convention, notwithstanding the
personal preferences manifested for differ
cnt candidates for Governor. The utmost
harmony characterised the proceedings Of
the vast assenblago. The good of the
causc dominated over every other feeling,
and when the Convention, about ! clock
Friday night, finally adjourned, the fusiou
was complete. Never before assembled
such Convention in Ohio, such q con
vention Of numbers, wherein every coun
ty in the State was fully represented
such convention composed gf the differ
cut interests of the State, now united tc
oppose the administration, and the exten
sion Of Slavery--such i convention il
harmony aud enthusiasm. Well may tn,
administration, and its bunker and pro
slavery party, quake in their shoes. Tn,
voice has gone forth, that slavery exten
sion and such anti-democratic aud anti
American measures will find no sympath,
in the mass Of Ohioang. The indomita
Die CHASE who has nobly fought the fgh
Of Freedom, who has been made the tar
get Of assault by the administration, an,
all pro-slayoryites, surrounded and sus
tained by the gallant FoRD--the unwayGr
inE BRINKEnHoFT and the other nobl
champions Of Liberty, who compose til
ticket presented by that ccayention, vii
carry forward tue ems gn Of Freedom j.
Ohio, and rally tue cohorts OF tru
American Liberty 70 the great bat
tlein October. Then will 50 up the shout
of Freedom in msjOrity of q: least on
hundred Thousand, which viii cause tn
slaYeoeracy 10 the South. aud its advocate
in Washington City, and elsewhere, t
moan and lament che sadness of their fate
The harmonious doiugs Of the conveutio
will be endorsed and ratified by the peopl
Of Ohio, and CHASE and BRIYXEKHor
will be tie rally.ng cry to unprecidentc

Beware Of Them.

Bad as has become the cause Of the.hun-
ker administration, State and National
and desperate as are the means resorted to
by them and their adherents, we were
scarce prepared to hear of the base schemes
adopted by those politicians to produce di-
visions, and generate discord among the
friends of Freedom in Ohio.
We have been creditably informed, that
during the recent Convention in Columbus,
members Of the administration party, who
had been called up there by their Exccu
tive Committee, were busy among the
true friends of fusion for Liberty, endeav
oring to excite Free soilers and Know
Nothings, and Chase and anti Chase men
against each other-acting in real jesueti
cal style, as circumstances required. s.
far was their audacity carried that the,
even presumed to vote in the Convention
and one Of their number from Huron couu
ty, voted for several counties before bein,
detected, in his unhcard of and abomina
bic tricks. r'
Having signally failed in accomplishing
their base dcsigne in Columbus, those pc
litical jesuits when scattering to thei
homes throughout the State, would, whe
passing through villages and towns, an
when among men with whom they wer
not known, pretend to be coming from tn
Convention, and take the occasion to d.
nouncc the proceedings and nominations
and thus by deception, endeavor to 30
among the people, those seeds of discor
which they failed to implant among ii
delegates in Columbus.
We ailude to this fact more in mortii
cation than in anger, that any men wouI
SO far debasc themselves; and also to wal
our friends that they may be deceived n,
by such tricks. Beware of Jesuits whetl
er political or religious

Is it True} {

The "Daily Evening Union" Of Mon
day, in its article on "rhe Convention Of
the l3th,' says:
"Wm. II. Gibson, Of Seneca, was NOM
mated for Treasurer Of State, on the Sec
ond ballot lie is brother-in-law and
partner in the Banking business Of John
G. Breslin, the Democratic candidate.
THEY are bound to keep the State's money
in the family"
The italicising is ours Wenotice With
surprise such statement. Is it possible
that the present democratic Treasurer
of State is using "the States money" in
his private business: And is yet advoca-
ted for reelection BY the bunker demo-
cratic organ Of this county! Truly have
We fallen upon sorry times, when partizan
organs notice without dissent, and advo-
cate the reelection Of public officer, who
it says sis bound to keep the States mon-
ey in his family" If this charge against
Mr. Breslin, made by his own party organ,
is true, it is high time he was dismissed
from Office, and an honest man, as We are
assured Mr.. Gibson is, put in charge Of
the States money"
We we're always disposed to consider
llr. Breslin all honest man Will some
friend a. Columbus, please inform US as
to the truth Of the "Union's' charge
against the State Treasurer? Or is this,
like that "sharp tOcd boot" article, mere
slip of the tongue: Mr.. Breslin, keep
eye on your friends

Our Candidates and our POsitiOn.

We this day place in the True Ameri-
can, the names of the gentlemen selected
by the Convention of the 18th, inst, as
candidates for the respective State Offices
10 be voted for at the October election.
fhis We do NOT merely as a matterof duty,
but as a matter Of pleasure. We cannot
say IN caudOr, that they are--all Of them
our first choice, but we can say that
they are all gentlemen for whose success
We can battle, and for whom We can vote
with the greatest satisfaction. We pre-
ferred some Of our Eastern Ohio csndi-
dates--the Convention, however, decided
otherwise, ana we cordially acquiece. Up
on the Pro Slavery ticket of the old hun
ker party, there are, some gentlemen for
whom we have-personally--thC highest
respect. Gov MadilI, and Judge Ken
non, We regard as gentlemen possessed Of
high order of talent but we are sorry to
end them in bad company. In opposing
that ticket we shall have due respect to
the character of the gentlemen whose
names are on it, We still have high re-
gard for our old political friends who re-
main in the administration party, but in
the party--as such.-we have no conf
dence.
To such We say, "come out from among
theln-be ye separats-touch not the un-
clean thing Clense yourselves from all
the 6lthiness Of prO-slavery "hunkerism,"
and be ye true sons of American liberty.
The American Democratic Party is march
ing on to certain victory in the great State
of Ohio, and throughout the Union, and
We desire you to enjoy with us the pleas
ure of triumph in SO glorious cause as
that Of Americanism and Liberty.

pGFI II anything would have given Us
increased satisfaction with the ticket pre-
sented by the late Convention in Colum-
bus, it would have been the placing Of one
of our townsmen upon the list. As it was,
the respectable vote given to Abucr L.
Frazer, for member of Board of Public
Works, vas quite complimentary to him.
Considering the number of candidates bal
loted for that oFice, the vote received by
Mr.. Frazer vas altogether crcditoble.

CRUSHING OUT DIFFICULTIES.

Congress during its last session passed
Bill making important changes in the Dip
lomatic and Consular systems Of the United
States. The Bill received the sanction of
the President and became law. 1t declared,
among other things; that the President, by
and with the advice &c., "shall' appoint
Ministers resident at certain courts, at some
of which the United States has heretofore
been represented by Charges des Afaires.
In due time it devolvcd on the Secretary
of State to act under the new law, when
difficulties presented themselves. Among
these may be mentioned, the interference
by Congress with the Constitutional pow
ers of the Executive; this law; by reason
of its mandatory language, ordering the
appointment by the President Of certain
representatives on foreign missions, where
as the power Of appointment belongs under
the Constitution to the Office of the Presi.
dent, and the exercise of that power is by
the same fundamental law entrusted solely
to his discretion.
The Secretary Of State referred the con-
aicting issues arising under this law to the
Attorney General, who in printed opin.
ion of fifty pages, has clearly shown that
Congress passed beyond the boundaries of
Legitimate legislation. But he manages to
effect reconciliation between Legislative
usurpation and Executive powers by an
nouncing &c catheara that "shall" means
only "may." This exposition, however,
denudes the law of all which recommended
its passage, and it leaves the diplomatic
system Of the government precisely where
and what it was before the passage Of the
law.
The Law also declares that Consuls "shalp'
not be permitted to engage directly or in
directly in any business exclusive Of their
duties. 1t SO happens that the provision
for their pay is SO small in amount that nc
; person could live abroad without connecting
some business occupation with his consular
duties. Nor, in truth, are they incompati
bic; for, Consul's duties being Of com
mercial nature, It certainly seems that ;
practical knowledge Of business would fac
, ilitate the Consul in the dispatch Of hi
public duties.
) Another clause ofthis law declares tha
conuls "shall" be American citizens
r this provision would certainly be goo
if it we're not for the slight difficulty tina
: it is not always possible. What America
= worth appointing would reside at Nova ZEN
bla or Botany Bay for $500, or at mos
e $1,000 year? But these difficulties ar
n all likewise and in the same manner e
n rid of by the Attorney General, who,
J.. another opinion of fifty pages, declares th'
Y "shall" only has the force Of "may." I'll
Attorney General is no doubt right b,
the result is that Congress has spent i
'e valuable time usclessly, in passing bil
o which were previously recognized laws.
y We would ask en- passant, what is tn
= ;, Attorney Goueraps authority for saying "
a. reluct instead Of / am reluctant? Wh
N say an abstract inference is visible" il
