The time has again arrived for action
Important Elections, State and National,
are at hand; and it is deemed expedient
that the People of Ohio take counsel to-
lgether-for which purpose a STATE Con-
vESTIoN, composed of Delegates from the
several counties, is appointed to be held in
Columbus, on Thursday, the 29M dag of
Nay nert, when will be nominated candi-
dates for Judge Of the Supreme Court;
Members Of the Board of Public Works;
Commissioner of Common Schools; Six
Delegates at large for the State of Ohio to
the National Convention to assemble at
Philadelphia on the 18th of June, to NOM
mate President and Vice President of the
United States; and an Electoral Ticket for
Ohio. The PEOPLE of Ono, without re-
gard to past political differences or divis-
ions, who are opposed to the reply of the
Missouri eompromise-opposed to the poll
cy of the present Federal administration
opposed TO the extension of Slavery in the
Territories favor of the admission of
Kansas as free state--in favor of restoring
the action of the government to the princi- |
pies of WAsHNGsoN and JEFFERSON, are
cordially invited to cooperate in choosing
Delegates to the State Convention, and
otherwise furthering the objects in view.
1t is expected of the People in the re-
spective counties that they take prompt ac-
ton for the choice of Delegates; and for
this purpose it is recommended that they
assemble at their several county seats, on
the 22d day of May next, and designate
the number of Delegates to which their
county may be entitled, viz: 1 Delegate for
each 500 votes cast for the Republican tick
ct at the last October election, and one ad-
iitional Delegate for each fractional excess
25o such votes-no county having less than
one Delegate.
And for the purpose of choosing three
Delegates from each Congressional District
% the National Convention, it is recon-
nended that convention be held in each
Congressional District at the same place
where the last Congressional District Cor
7ention, washolden, (unless otherwise agreed
" the local committees,) on or before the
31st dayof Nav.

Fremont & indiana r. r..

With the opening of spring and the revi
val of business, our friends along the line o.
the projected railroad from Fremont to the
southwest, are agitating the subject of it,
immediate prosecution and completion. On
portions of the line large amount of mon
ey has already been expended, which viii
lie as dead capital until something IS done
to finish the work, already far advanced to-
wards completion. To show the feeling in
Allen County, We quote the following in
reference to the road from the Lima Wes-
tern Gazette tte:-SaRdusky Register.
'What are the citizens of Allen county
doing to help forward this enterprise? Can
it be possible that they are willing this road
should die out, without one effort in its be-
half? We trust not When completed,
the Fremont d Indiana Railroad viii give
a direct outlet to the Lake, and some two
hours quicker than by any other route, and
comparatively at less expense. Our mer-
chants could pay more for grain &C., and
the farmer would find his lands improving
in value.
''The probabilities are that the DAYTON &
Michigan Road viii not be completed north
Of Lima for years to come, and with the
Fremont Road in running order to this
place, Lima would become a central point,
having outlets by railroad, north, south,
east aud west, thereby rendering it one of
the best locations in the State, for machine
shops, manufactures DC, which constitute
the basis of all prosperous communities.
"Will the good people of the county see
to it that their mite is thrown. IN, in favor of
an early completion of these roads to Lima.

PLATFORM AND CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE
REPUBLICAN AssOcIATIoN or OuIo

PLATFORM AND CONSTITUTION OF THE sTATI
REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION OF OHIO.
To maintain the union of the States anC
the rights of the States-to resist thc
spread of Slavery and the aggressions O
Slave Power-to secure a thorough reform
in National Administration, and a free gov.
ernment for a free people-the undersigned
the citizens of Ohio, hereby united in fra,
ternal association, under the name of Estate
Republican Association of Ohio" and adopt
the following Platform and Constitution:
~ PLATFORM.
ART. I. We claim for all men equal
rights and exact justice, defended by Just
and equal laws, and protected by honest
and impartial legislation.
ART. II. We resist all attempts to sub
vert or impair our Republican institutions
by any combination, native or foreign, or
by any power, civil or ecclesiastical.
ART. Ill. We acknowledge the equal
rights of all persons to impartial protection
in the enjoyment of religious freedom, to
the exercise of the elective franchise, and
we propose no tests for Office except honesty,
capacity, and devotion to American insti-
tutions.
ART. ". We hold that each State has
the right to mako and enforce its own laws
as supreme, so far as they do not conflict
with the Constitution of the United States.
ART. V. We require for our country a
government by an Oligarehy; a govern
ment maintaining before the world the
rights of men rather than the privileges of
masters; government syinpathizing with
the efforts of oppressed nations to achieve
their liberties, rather than with the tyrani-
cal despotisms which are leagued against
them.
ART. VI. We demand a thorough re-
form in National Administration, by the
of economy for extravaganza,
and of imperial regard for every interest,
instead Of the subordination of all interests
TO the views of Class.
ART. VII We insist that there shall be |
10 Slavery outside of Slave States, and no
domination of the SLAYER Power over the
action of the National Government; and in |
,rder to accomplish these ends, we invite
rank and cordial cooperation of all our fell
ow citizens of whatever political views in
,ther respects, for the sake of union npon
he common platform of Exclusion of Sla-
cry from National Territory, and thorough
Reform in National Administration, and in
upport of candidates for the Presidency
md Vice Presidency, avowedly and reliably
n favor of these objects.
