OHlo.-The Americans Of Ohio Of the night
stripe who believe in America rs ruling America
and who intend to support the Philadelphia nom.
nations heartily, have called State convention
at Columbus on the 27th inst. A large nun.
Dor Of councils have responded. The fhdepen-
dence Republican says:
"The past history Of our party in this State,
although notifying 70 every True American has
resulted in parging n of body Of men VINO en-
tered it from designing and impure motives, and
whose continuance in the party would if their
design had been successful, finally have prostra-
ted Americanism in the State. The order is
now clear of this sectional influence and the
Fords, Spocners, and others, who have acted
with them, are now where they should always
have been. in the ranks Of the anti-Ame6can
Seward party. A bright future rs before the
Order in this State, the American party Of Ohio

on our own glorious principl es, A victory Of
the American party, resulting In the election Of
men who will carry out the original intentions
of the founders Of the American party, will BE-
a result worthy OF the SONS of Revolutionary
patriots, But victory, in name only. not o.
principle, such as last year-so far as the Amer
lean party is concerned, would not only defea!
but dishonor."
We have jastseen, says the Express, q lette
from Ohio, and from high and authentic source
giving us assurance that, Nv far 40 heard from

to this convention, and respond to the Philadei

DEMocRArIc INTERNATIONALLY readers are
probably all aware by this time. that Mr.. Buch-
anan of Pennsylvania and John Breckenridge
of Kentucky, are the Democratic nominees for
President and Vice President. We are glad Of
Mr.. Buchanan's nomination for two reasons.
First, because Mr.. Fillmore can beat him bet
ter than any other man they could have set up,
and secondly because we prefer his having in
the contest "foeman worthy Of his steel"
There is no man whose record is 90 assailabl e
as that of Mr.. Buchanan. He was once an
old line Wing, and once said II he thought he
had drop of Democratic blood in his veins he
would bleed himself till he let it out. He was
a violent federalist aud opposed to the war oil
1912, and az to his anti-Slavey proclivities
they can be proved 40 clear as the spots upon
the Sun The canvass promises to he rich
one in the South.

tenth.
After the sixteenth ballot, Mr.. Douglass was
withdrawn by Mr.. Richardson, Of llliHcis, and
Col. Preston, Of Keutscky. proposed that Mr..
BuchanaH should be rBanimousy nominated.
The seventeenth ballot resulted 10 an almost unan.
iaous vote for Buchanan. Each State, in cast
fsg this ballot, declared a. warmly and heartily
for Buchanan N though he had been its first
choice. The announcement Of 4 unanimous nom
inasioa was greeted with terrific applause and
cheering from the friends Of escA candidate.
The committee on resolutions reported series
ofresolaticns highly Mandatory Of Mr.. Pierce and
his foreign and domestic policy, which were adopt
ed, though not by unanimous vote.
Mr.. Peck, of Michigan, made speech, m which
he refused, 10 behalf of the Northwest to aquiesce
in the laudation Of Pierce. His speech was greet
ed with some applause.
Mr.. Wright, Of Pennsylvania, offered aresolu-
ton requesting both sections of the New York
democracy to meet in join. convention and nomi.
nate an electoral ticket. Both delegations cor.
daily accepted the propositions.
| The convention took a recess until twoo'clock
and when it assembled at that hour, John G.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, was unanimously nom
mated as the candidate for the Vice President.

Last Saturday before the Democratic nomi-
nations were known, Ratiicstien meeting
was called for Monday, when they knew it was
utterly impossible that the platform could be
known. even if the nominations were. This is
in keeping with the usual practice Of the De-
mocracy-No matter if Hallet or Fred Doug
lass should be the nominee, the faithfal were
called to "ratify"-no matter If Ffeesen or
Abolition platform was adopted, The Uaseri6ed
must "rarify."
1t is useless TO say this was net an aatherized
cardiff was signed by by the President of the
Democratic Association, W J. Leake, and the
Secretaries, VS.. Epperson and w. D. Roy.
This is fair specimen of the Mind zeal with
which Mississippi freemen follow the bid
ding Of their masters. Some Of the men tina,
got up the caA for a ratification meeting, had
left the Amerioan party because it was no,
sound en- the slavery question, and yet were WILL
ling to support any nominee, or any platform i
they received Democratic sanction Surely
modern Democracy Is great institution!

Breckenridge was nominated on The second bal
lot, amidst great enthusiasm. he returned thanks
to the Convention and accepted the nomination.
Col. Preston, of Kentucky, made an eloquent
speech, and, on behalf of the oldaine wings, swofe
allegiance to thedemocratic party.
A committee, OF which the President OF the
Convention was chairman, was appointed to in.

DETACHMENT OF THE 9TH INFANTRY AT
FoRr SrEnAcooM.-We have been kindly
furnished with O list of the officers CON
nected with a detachment of the 9th In
fantry, U. S. A, which arrived at Fort
Steilacoom last week, on board the stea-
mer Repu6lio-IsHAM, commanding.
1t Col. SILAs CASEY, commanding de-
tachment.
Capt. GUTHRIE, commanding company;
LIST. 1t. DAVIS, commanding company;
I'd Its. FLEMMING and McKIBBoN, and
our old friend, Surgeon GEO. SUcKELY, and
10 men of the Sd Artillery under the COM
mand of 1t SHAAP.
1t. Col. CASEY earned for himself q rep
utation in Mexico, of which he and the
service may well feel proud. he led the
storming party at the battle Of Chepulte-
pee, and received brevets for distinguished
and meritorious conduct. We doubt not,
but that lie will retain his name and fame
unsullied in the prosecution Of the war
before him.
We learn that Col. CASEY, has made re-
QUESTION on Ft. Vancouver for two addition
al companies of the 9th Infantry. If this be
true, they will, no doubt reach Ft. Stella
COON by way of the Columbia and Cowlitz
rivers, and thence overland. We hope
this may prove true, as their transit will
be through Indian tribes at present sup
posed to be friendly, and will have good
effect in awing them into continuation Of
q good understanding with our people, as
well as demonstrate to them that the "Bos-
tons" are on the move-preparing for the
war in earnest.
Capt GUTHRIE was formerly Captain
in llth Infantry, and was brevetted Major
for his gollantry and good services in the
battles before the City Of Mexico.
We hail the arrival amongst us of these
gallant and distinguished gentlemen, as
precursors of lasting peace to our dis
tressed, defenccless territory, and our only
regret is, that the force at present under
their command is by no means equal to the
emergency which they arc called upon tc
face. Their force should be at least one
thousand strong, to insure speedy term
nation of the war.
DR.. SUcKELY is welcomed back by oil
who had the pleasure Of an acquaintance
with him.

"PAr KANn" IN THE FIEtD I'VE are in.
formed by Mr.. JAcoB SMITH, Of Island coun-
ty, who arrived here this morning, that "Pat
Kanim" with band Of about 55 warriors
of the Snoqualmie and Snohomish tribes,
left Holmes Harbor, on Monday last, with
the ostensible purpose of making an attack
on the hostile Indians, on White, Green and
Puyallup rivers. We arc told that "Pat
Kanim," and party, were accompanied by
Col M. I. Simmons, L. M. Collins, and Mr..
Fuller, who proposed to proceed with the
war party as far as it was their intention to
go in canoes, up the Snoqualmie river, when
it was the intention Of COL Simmons and
Mr.. Fuller TO return. Mr.. Collins will re-
main with the war party throughout their
expedition, if permitted. The Indians were
all armed and well provided with ammuni.
tion and provision. They left Holmes Har-
Dor with about IL canoes, and made con-
demonstration before leaving
War speeches were made, followed by enthu-
siastic cheering, giving evidence of deter
mination to give the hostile Indians vigor-
Gus attack. Should "Pat Kanim" and par
ty succeed in taking "Leschi," and some
Others Of the ring leaders in the present war
he will be the most popular "Siwash" amongst
the "Bostons" on the Pacific coast.
