More important than "who shall be Govern
orr is the question, 'what Shall be the issue of
the coming cmnpaignY' The first is seconda-
ry; the candidate being bound to conform to
the platform of the Party as determined by the
Resolutions olthe Convention.
Time has demonstra ed the wisdom of post
poning the ''Sth Of January Convention" to its
late date. New matter has arisen, new events
transpircd, and new issues developed. Since
the Sth OF january, the Dred Scott decision has
been pronounced by the Supreme Court of the
United SLates the "Missonri Compromise" has
been officially declared unconstitutional; and Il
negro born ofslaye parents has been decided to
be not citizen oftlis Urion. Since Tic Sth
of January last there has been raised ques,
ton OF jurisdiction between the State Of Ohio
as represented by her present authorities and
that ofthc General Government in regard to
the rendition fugitive slaves, and conflict OF
power has taken place which has resulted in re
slstance, treason, and death.
Last, but not least; has been developed de-
ialeaton in the public treasury OF the people, as
founding in its magnitude and alarming in its
consequences to the presentinterests and future
well being of the S ate, These are the living
for the cool and candid consideration Of all good
citizens That the Convention which meets in
| Columbus on the 9Th oil August will meet these
issues as they should be met we have no doubt
When did tie Democratic party ever falter
when the country was in peril? Was it when
the war broke out in 1911? Was it when NuI
litication reared its head under jackson, or
when the pubicdeposits we've removed f o n the
| United States Bank? Was it when an inia
nous Bankrupt Law was to be repealed? an
| Independent Treasury established? high
tariff reduced? TeXts annexed? Mexico con-
quered, and California and New Mexico acaur-
ed? Did the Democratic Party iater When
! the Kansas Nebraska Bill was introduced, de
claring the true meaning Of the constitution in
regard to the power of Congress over the sub
iect of slavery in the Territories forever sett ne
! that great and fundamental principle Of oul
government? In all these trying times, when

] There is not on the statute books Of this U Union
single law, nor in its archives single treaty
that III its legitimate operations materially ali
ects the foreign OF domestic policy OF this coun-
try that was not placed there by the Democrat
ic party. The opposition have occaSional,
stole into power, but was never allowed to re-
main long enough to Impress single measure
of their own permanently upon the people. a
crisis has arrived in our domestic affairs such as
was never before knowni in the State. The first
question presented is, shall Ohio become MI
RfyiRg ktate? Shall laws he passed with
4 view TO resist her obligations under the Social
Compact, anG set at defiance the decisions the
| Supreme Court under the Constitution? Shal
her governor and other State officers be found
with arguments in their mouths and arms in
their hands dragooning peaceable citizens into
4 rebellious attitudes against the general govern
ment, and contending for the absolute equality
of the negro with the Anglo Saxon race? Are
the people OF Ohio ready to embrace the Red
Il Republican doctrine Of "Resistance unto Blood
and the Black Republican doctrine of "Negrc
E1uality?' The time has come to settle these
questions and permanently fix the future policy

Aside from these questions affecting her du.

Union, Ohio has got to determine upon new
system ofinternal State finances. No State in

ments in her currency than she. a more dis
