ganization, Credentials, State at large
Central Committee, State Central Com
mittee and Resolutions.
After the appointment Of tho various
Committees, there was general call for
speeches. Senator Wade was called out
FIRST and responded in lengthy and for
oibIe speech, showing the position of the
two parties and how the misnamed De-
mocracy have forsaken the teachings Of
the Declaration Of Independence, denied
their ancient faith and become the apollo
gsts Of slavery extension and the arrant
advocates Of federalism. After Mr.. Wade
had done, Hon. Joshua r. Giddings was
called out and responded in happy and
impressive manner. This occupied the
forenoon.
AT half past o'clock, the Convention
70 assembled. Mr.. Brown Of Portage,
from the Committee on Organization, re-
ported Hon. Caleb Z. Smith Of Hamilton,
President, twenty one Vice Presidents,
Zone from each district, and nine .Socre.
taries. .. .ml
Mr.. Smith came forward and was re-
oAiyed with great applause. On taking
the chair, he made most eloquent and
patriotic speech, aud closed with brief
but beautiful eulogy upon the character
and services Of Salmon p. Chase.
Judge Humphreys, of Licking made a
report from the committee on Credentials,
which was accepted,
The nomination Of State Officers being
next in order, Sampson Mason, (who op-
posed Chase in SO, arose and moved his
nomination by acolamation, which motion
was received with loud and pro,onged
cheering and Salmon Z. CEase was de-
clared the nomnee, A committee of
of three was then appointed to wait on the
Gov and inform him of his nomination.
Presently his ExcellenOy appeared on the
stage greeted by perfect storm Of ap-
plause and, with heart overlooking with
gratitude, thanked the Convention, in a
short speech, for tho distinguished favor
shown him,
The Convention then proceeded tc

The investigating Committees
RepOrt.

This report, SO long delayed and so
'nxiously looked for, has appeared It's
great length prooludes the possibility Of
our laying it before our readers this week,
but portion Of II, at least, will appear
IN our next The report shows that the
Committee have not been idle--they have
made a thorough and searching inyosti-
cation, into the management and condi-
ton Of the Treasury, for the last six years,
and we have no doubt that their oouclu-
siors are well founded. They develop
many facts, with regard to the loose man
agemeut and Of the Treasury and the
exiting operations" carried on with
Banks and Brokers. The Committee
confined their abors principally to the So
luton Of those two questions:
ist. What is the amount Of the Defal-
cation?
3D. Who Is the Dsfauter?
With regard to the lirsI question after
oanya sing all the facts within their reach
they estimate the real deicit,now existing
in the Treasury at s729.749Gi. fthis
sum Si54. 63G.65, they report was lost by
b igdeI o tied in banks which have failed,
leaving S5i4.iie 9Gfraudulentiy abstrac-
ed from the Treasury.
With regard to the second question
IH1o stole ne money? the Committee are
unanimously Of the opinion, thot the
whole deficit was occasioned during Bres.
Inns administration and that he is respon.
sible. This conclusion is fortified by The
fact, that Breslin drew on county Treasu.
rors for 100000. when his own books
showed, he ought 10 have had more than
enough to meet all demands against the
state,
Mr.. Gibson is chargrable only with
oouoealing the deGalcation Of Breslin and
carrying on system Of legerdemain to
accomplish his object and battle investiga-
ton. His reasons for so doing he asserts,
were two-fold
lat. lIe was ono Of tho sureties on
Bresln's official Bond--and the exposure
Of the dehlcalion would involve the Pc
ouniary ruin of himself and co-sureties,
who were his friends and neighbors.
Cd Ho thought that, by concealing the
iaot Of the delaloaton he could secure
the amount due the State.
Mr. Gibson says ho has succeeded in
obtaining from Breslin over s3OO,OOO,
which would doubtless have been lost to
the State, had tho exposure been made
when he took office. With regard to the
questiop--Wkero Is The peoples money!
the Committee have not been able to give
a satisfactory answer They are Of opin-
ION that the money has taken variety OF
routes and that its exact whereabouts
clnnot be ascertained. They say "enough
has been elioi.ed, to render ii probable
that the money has been scattered with a
free hand aud that the parties, who now
hold it, are numerous ani many Of them
beyond the boundaries Of the State.'
