OUR CoRREsPoNDENTs.-Th outside of
the present issue is fully occupied with
contributions written for this paper one
or two of which need little editorial ex-
PLANTATION.
The reply to the .Anti- Afedill and Anti
Clique MAN. is bitter and sarcastic; but
justice to Mr.. Campbell compels us to say
that ''Anti Traitor is mistaken in regard
t. Gre autfIoiship of the previous article.
Mr. Campbell did not write the article in
question, nor did he see it until it was in
print. For good and sufficient reasons
the author chooses to withhold his name
from the public for the present. Even Mr.
Campbell himself does not certainly know
who the author is. When he chooses to
unveil himself, however, his Democracy
will not be doubted, and there will be
trembling in the camp. We look for fur
ther disclosures. can't Traitor may
prepare his back for the rod. There are
some few of the crank and file'' of the
Democracy of Meigs. who have determin-
ed that they will no longer submit to be
''scourged and driven like dumb cattle''
by few self-constituted Leaders in
,Pomeroy. We think the allusion to Judge
Ledlie, in the present communication, is
ungenerous..
The communication signed "T. r. Will
lii'ms, was written in Jail, where the au-
thorsis confined for riot. 1t is published
by request, and as the authors name is
attached, we have nothing further to do
with IL than to give it publicity. Of the
truth or falsity of the assertions made, we
know nothing, as we never visit places of
the kind. For the credit of the communi-
ty, we hope his pictures are eover-wrought,
though we confess to our fears of their
correctness.
The communication signed ''L." ."is from
an old and valued contributor. We hope
to hear from him often.
The letter, from which we extrct, is
from former contributor. whose initials
will at once be recognized.
The unusual amount of space occupied
by these contributors compels us to con-
dense the news and curtail the editorial

The DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
This body met in the Theatre at Column
bus, on Thursday last--about three hun.
dred persons being in attendance. From
all we can learn, the Convention was more
like funeral than great Democratic
Convention. III. B. Smith was present
from this county, as we see his name on
one of the Committees. The following
ticket was nominated:
For Governor. H. B. Payne, of Cleve-
land ; for Lieutenant Governor, VIM, H.
Lytle, Of Cincinnati for Supreme Judge,
HI. G. Whitman, of FAN field for Treas
urer of State, - Morris, of Monroe I;
for Secretary of State, j. Reinhart, of
Franklin /; for Board of Public Works, A.
L. Bachus.
The resolutions endorse the Dred Scott
decision, approve the administration oi
Buchanan, and the doctrine of Popular
Sovereignty as announced in the Kansas
Nebraska act, and favor an Independent
Treasury for Ohio.
Of all which we shall have more to say
hereafter.
The ticket which will win this fall will
be nominated tomorrow, at Columbus.

FoRE1cN.-The news by the late steam
ers is not of much importance. The mu-
tiny in India is still progressing; and, in
consequence, the British will not be able
to prosecute the Chinese war with much
vigor, as they must make use of all their
available forces TO crush the Sepoys. The
attempted assassination of Louis Napoleon
is ascertained to have been of Italian origin
Mazzini and Ledru Rollin are somehow inn
plicated, and England has placed the for
Iner under strict surveillance. The laying
of the telegraphic cable across the oc ian
is attracting great attention in England
just now. Breadstuffs are dull and prices
declining.

LocoFoco KALINos.-Exasperated at
the unfairRess and meanness of the Slave
Democracy press, ip attempting to throw
the responsibility Of the enormous defal-
cation in the, State Treasury. from the
shoulders Of their own party, where it has
been unmistakably fixed, and charge il
upon the Republicans, the Ohio State
Journal indnlges in the following truthful
train of reflections on the subject:
1--WE can show where Governor Medill
has paid men for personal services to him
self and party out Of the State Treasury.
We can show where locofoco papers in this
city have been printed on State paper; while
the military arms Of the State have been
sold by locofoco officials, in one instance,
to the amoiintof sixteen hundred dollars,
and themoney.neyer paid into the treasury.
We can'show how the peoples money was
taken by the, handful to enrich corrupt con-
tractors of the State House and Lunatic
Asylums, and how men who had charge of
the Ohio Penitentiaiy abstracted the pub
lie moneys in q manner that would have
disgracedT some Of the conyicts over whom
'iiOJ hHo NhoASOs nAhiy Vi tiiCSc AUS StdIlu
recorded on the. imperishable records of
the General Assembly, and the Others, we
believe, are susceptible of being proved
by indisputabletestimony before any court
of justice. lsS
eve commend the gentry who are now
trying to blacken the fair name of one of
the noblest men that the people of Ohio
ever honored with their confidence, to hus-
band their resources, and not to presume
any further upon the forbearance of their
opponents. The men who are now endeav-
oring to turn the current of public indig-
nation from IFS proper channels into direc-
tions dsyA Aths and winding, that they may
escape from theconsequences of their own
acts, and thus screen the guilty and wrong
the innocent, know full well the hue Of
the catalogue which. is written against
them, and L Is only the common trick of
the detected criminal, who hopes to escape
by joining The, hue and cry of stop thief,
which they are attempting to palm off upon
the public.V
