The State Ticket.

We regret that our space does not ner-
nit us to give to our readers detailed ac'
coul of The proceedings Of the State Con
yention. which was held in Columbus on
the l2th inst. The Convention Was full,
and altogether ii was the most harmonl'
Gus and enthusiastic assembly that ever
met, and delibiraed in Ohio. The re-
suit of its deliberations is chiefly what all
anticipated The unanimous mamma ion
of SALMON P CHASE for Governor,
was "a lorpgone conclusion" His elevat'
ed stand in the Senate Of the United
States, whilst il called down upon him,
the ana,hemas OF the Slaye Power, with
It's agents and allies in Ohio, 1t secured
him the confidence of every honest friend
of human liberty in the land, His firm
ness of character and singlntss of rur-
pose, with his undoubted csraclty, as
Governor Of our glorious State, has rem
dered him the strongest man in OHIO -
The Convention could do nothing else
than nominate him by acclamatlon.
For Lieutenant Goyernor, there was not
the came unanimity Of cholsp, but Il e re-
.ult was quite as satisfactory. MARTIN
WALKER of Wayne county, is firm
friend of Republican prnciI les, gen.
tleman of spoIless character, aud enjoys
in high degree the esteem and conf
dence Of all who know him. He has
been Judge Of the Court Of Common
Pleas, and possesses talents and temper
that will qualify him for the position 'o
which he has been called.
MILTON SuTLIFP Of Trumbul county,
the nominee for Judge Of the Supreme
Court, is very well known at the Bar, az
sound lawyer and man of sterling in
legrity. A. such time, when questions
affecting the rights of citzens, and the
sovereignty Of our State are rising with
alarming pregnancy in The irdral courts
the sentiments and character Of our Sale
Judges, are of the highest possible i'm
portauce to the people. We congralu
late them in the prospect of electing a
man 10 the Supreme bench Of Ohio, VIM
is fully imbued with the principles o!
freedom and has the moral courage tc
maintain them, unseduced by corruption
and unawed by power.
Mr.. A. P. STONE Of Franklin, wa
nominated Treasur Of State, BY unan
nous vote. He is i've present ircum
bent of that Office, having been app"nt

he wanted only five votes Of receiving III
nomination in the Republican Convention
y, OF one thing we can rest assured, he
i not a Locofoco, nor the brother m.la,o
a Loc0foco.
J. ADIsoN P. RUSSELL Of Clinton coul

i The importance of this Office is only se
g ond TO that Of Treasurer. With the A,

at sponsibilities of the Office, render il not
10 mere clerkship, but an Office requiril
