Now that the Democratic State Con-
v~ention has selected a ticket for the
support of the party-and a most ex-
cellcnt and unexceptionable one it is
it behooves us to bury all minor diff
f~erences, smother all heart-burnings, if
any exist, and yield the ticket a willing
and hearty support. 1t is not men we
fight fort is principGes-and when
these principles perish the country will
perish with them. No doubt there are
many who feel disappointed at the re
suit of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
because their particular friend was not
nominated for this or hat office. This
is natural, and not to be condemned
but yet no one claiming to be a Demo
crat should permit his feelings to get
the better of his Judgment, and cause
him to refuse support to the principles
of our glorious old party. Let us rath
er forget all petty differences about
men, and swear in our hearts that the
DIluCIplCS " III bCIlOSlllAN I"Ab AOoA
ded by such men as Jefferson and Jack
son, must and shall triumph, and that
the attempts of the Black Republican
Abolitionists, with Salmon p. Chase at
their head, to place the NEGRO ON
AN EQUALITY with the white man,
in the State Of Ohio, must be put down
and kept down. God forbid that our
noble State should again be cursed and
disgraccd with an Abolition, fanatical
Governor,an a horde of Iireasury-moths,
such as have been in power for the last
two years. The dangerous and pernic-
ious principles of this faction should
nerve the arm of every Democrat, OF
every loyal citizen and cause him to go to
work and use every honorable effort to
secure the election of the Democratic
State ticket. Let the people be warned
in time, and let our watch-word hence
forth be, PAYNE and VICTORY!

NEGRO OFFICE HoLDERs.-The news
papers of Wisconsin are making much
ado about the Republican Governor of
that State appointing a negro to office.
That is the Legitimate effect Of lattcr-day
Republicanism. IF negroes are inclu-
ded in the sentence SO often quoted from
the Declaration Of Independence by the
Republican editors-"that all men arc
endowed with certain unalicnable
rights" etc-is not the right of holding
Office one Of them? The Republican
Governor of Wisconsin is only putting
the doctrines of his party into practice,
and should the people of Ohio be so I'M
fortunate as to elect Chase again, We
would not be surprised if he would do
the same.

held their State Convention at Column
bus on the 18th inst, and is represent
cd as having been a very slim and spir-
itlcss affair. 1t appears that the ere
trenchmcnt and reform" party have re-
nominated their old ticket, with the cx-
ception Of Lieutenant Governor and
Treasurer of State. Senator Wade and
Joshua Giddings were present and blew
their blasts for negro rights, after which
a few demagogical resolutions were pass
cd, full of scnselcss appeals to the pas
sions of those supposed to love a darkey
better than a white man. The Conven-
ton then adjournedfully convinced that
they would be, at the coming election,
routed horse, foot and Dragons. The
following is the ticket:
For Govcrnor-Salmon p. Chqse, Of

For Lieutenant Govcrnor-Nartin

Mr. Payne'S AnIecedentS--IEiS
Vote ON the FugitiVe-SllVe LAW
of 1850

The Cleveland Plaindealer exposes in
an unanswerable manner, the falsehood
of the Black Republican press in re-
gard to the antecedents of Mr.. Payne
upon the Fugitive-slave Law. 1t quotes
from the official records, which we have
already alluded to in the Enquirer, GER
tain facts, which we have no idea will
ever appear in the Gazette and the other
papers which have attacked Mr.. Payne
upon this subject. The Senate Journal
of 1S5O-51, page 900, shows that a Mr..
Pardec offered certain resolutions at
lacking the Fugitive slave Law, and,
among other things, declaring that it
was unwarranted by the Constitution

pn- The New York News tells the
following good story in connection with
the grant of land in New York State
which the Abolitionist, Gcrritt Smith,
made to the negroes. The News says:
1t appears that he gave land to some
three thousand negroes, and that less
than fifty continue to hold their allot-
ments. The rest have swindied him and
vamoscd the ranch. Last year we hap
pened, by mere chance, to meet II Of
these backslidcrs. He was an aged pa
triarch, who had become worn out and
disguised in his attempt to work his
grant. He expressed himself in this
wise: "De fact am sir, dat Massa Smiths
land am so damn poor, dat an ole bum
ble-bee hab to knecl down to get at de
