The Convention which has just closed Il
.7abOrs, says The Ohio Statesman, was one o
the most harmonious, able and patriotic, eve
held in Ohio. ifs de Iiberations were marked
by dignity, ability, unanimity, and sound dis
%crelion, such as cannot fail 10 command for !
the most hearty nnd enthusiastic approval o
the People
The platform adopted. as The position which
the Democracy of Ohio are 10 occupy in th'
coming ~compaign, is one which, for its bold
ness, simplicity, ondsound doctrine, will NEE
The appreciation Of the Democracy Of thi'
Stale. and commend the confidence and re.
spect OF the Democracy OF the Union.
The SovEREIGHrY OF THE PEOPLE is clearly
and boldly asserted; and the rightof Congress
10 interfere in the local effairs Of States Of
or Territories as fearlessly'ond clearly denied
The rEoPLE, whether as CITIZENS OF State,
or souATrEKs on our territorial frontiers. have
the right and capacity of elf-government,
without any Of that colonial vassalage against
which our fore fathers rebelied, and which
weigh down and crirple the rights and ener-
gies Of the dependencies Of Great Britain.-
And with the PEOPLE, The democracy Of Ohio
have declared their Willingness to trust the
Institutions OF African slavery. Having, in
both the old and new constitution declared
their hostility to slavery in Ohio, they plant
themselves upon the broad principle that The
rights and privileges they enjoy, they will
guarantee 10 all others. The example Of CAL
ifornia and OF Oregon in its first territorial ac-
lion, give strong indications that the ~sauatter
sovereigns view the institution Of slavery as il
is viewed by the people OF Ohio, and gives.
them assurance, doubly sure, that the exer-
else Of that power by them, will be inaecord-
snce with the spirit and intelligence Of the
age.
Never have we known any platform more
unanimously adopted by a convention, or so
heartily approved by the people, who have
heard or read the resolutions The Dernoc-
racy OF Ohio go into the next contest with
clean hands, stout hearts,, and a full tetem'
10 accomplish q most glorious yictoryf
We predict for them a most glorious contest,
and hope for a splendid triumph. 4l

The Steamer Pacific.

The National Intelligencer thinks it fearfullv
probable that q melancholy fate has befallen the
Pacific The baltimore American takes diffe-
rent view, and refers to the case of the steamer
Atlantic, in December, 1850. When more than
half way across the ocean, she broke her shaf,
ret turned, and on January 2ad arrived at Cork
News Of her safety was sent out from Iiyerpoo,
by the Africa, which sailed the following week
and arrived at New York February 10th. The
time of her sailing, till the people of the United
States heard of her, was nearly double the period
which has elapsed since the Pacific sailed so that
the American thinks II will be time enough a
month hence, to begin TO think abe is lest we
trust that this favorable view of the case NAV be
realized.

Improvement, of the kanawhn.


We had not the opportunity of reading the com.
munication from the James River and Kanawha
Company to the Legislature, pointing ont the OBJ
staeles in the way of carrying out the objects of
the bill for improving the navigation of the Ka
nawha. We now learn the following is the sub
stance Of the statement made in that communca-
ton:
Ist The act was supposed by the Board TO re-
auire the appropriation of so much of the nett
tolls upon the river will pay the interest upon the
loan of $3.50, 200, and ertiRgttsh the principal in
eight yedrs This the Board deemed il impossible
for them to comply with, judging by any amount
of tolls heretofore received, any hereafter likely
10 be received during that period. Moreover, the
set did not appear to include large ayrearage of
tolls due which 1t was the intention of the par
ties to have included, but was applicable only to
those hereafter to accrue. This, however was not
An objection on the part of the company, except in
so far as it increased their supposed inability to
comply with the provisions of the law.
Id The act, by not clearly defining the nature
of the obligations to be given for the money to be
borrowed, did not, according to the Interpretation
Of the Board, exempt the general resources Of the
Company from liability: whereas it is well known
10 have been the intention of all the parties con.
cerned, that those obligations should bind the nett
revenue arising from the tolls upon the Kanatcha
rirsy alone The resolution of the stockholders,
authorizing the application to be made to the Lee
gislature, did not go beyond that point and the
Board In the exercise of their discretion as direc
tors, were equally unwilling to do So
For these and other reasons, the Company by
Its President and Directors, simply asked an amen
datory or deeamatory act, set forth In their me.
mortal And In the confident anticipation of such
act, with the view to save time and to carry
out as far as they could the wishes of the Legisla
ture, they instructed the Chief Engineer To pro
coed to the kanawha river as soon the season
viii allow, to make surveys, plans and estimates
according to plan recommendedby Chas B Fisk
Esq, and TO report upon the same with the least
