Representative Convention.

The proceedings of this body will
be found in another part of to-day's
paper. ROBERT B. STEVENSON and
JOHN D. JAMES, Esq8., both gentle
men Of ability and unfinching democ-
racy, were the candidates for nomina-
tion before the convention, which was
one of the most harmonious and good
natured assemblages of the kind with
which we have ever met. Mr.. STE
vENsoN being the successful candidate,
it is proper to say something OF him.
A long acquaintance enables us to
speak intelligently. We know that
he is a gentleman in every sense of
the word and true democrat, and
that he possesses abilities which can
not fail to make him a valuable men,
Der ofthe Legislature. In Highland
county where he resided until some
eighteen months ago, he served as
Prosecuting Attorney forseveral years.
He was also editor of the Hillsboro'
Gazette, in which position, we may
safely say, he spent time and perform
ed labor that were vastly more servic-
able to the party than profitable to
himself. This, however, is not an
unusual thing among newspaper edi.
tors, and Mr.. S. would probably make
the same sacrifices again if placed in
q similar position. Knowing him as
we do, his nomination was matter
OF no little qualification to us, and from
the satisfaction manifested by the del
egates at the adjournment of the con-
vention, we Judge that he will be
heartily supported and, of course, tri-
umphantly elected. Mr.. STEVENSON
will visit this county before the elec-
tion and give the people a {" taste Of
bis quality :" in the way of stump
speeches.

British Interference in American
Politics.

1t must be qualification to Chase,
Giddings & Co., and to Charles Sum-
ner, who is now in England and the
lion of the Exeter Hall Abolitionsts
and intormedGlers in American Poll
tics, to read such articles as the fol-
lowing, which is copied from the
Westminster Re0ieao, published in
London
{" As for us we decline to propheSy
amidst so dire q confusion, and under
the shadow ofso dark a thunder-clOud.
The one thing we are sure Of IS, that
tile old Constitution, laden 'oith ne,o
c0TpptionS, cannot Serve and sustain
the Republic. We JcIieco that a
radical reconstruction is not imme.
mediately agreed upon, there mast be
q dissolution Of tie UaiOn-the slave
States being subject to the curse Of a
military despotism and the perils of q
servile war. HhGrdly appears that
there can be a question about this
Jut Of the issue lCe cannot genture to
gaticinate. OW t,7t8t Is, that the d.
oLitiOni8t8 aciN not aJate a .jot Of that
strong qoiH arhich renders them the
real antaqoniSts 0ftho SOutk."
Here is comfort for our opponents,
from British Review! Last fall they
were comtorted by the London Times,
and other G Government journals, which
chuckled at the prospect of Fremont's
election and declared that that event
would be the entering wedge to a
dissolution Of the Union" Whatev-
er may be the intentions Of their lead
ers, We believe that the masses Of the
Republican party never desired to dis
solve the Union, and that they can
have no sympathy with the oficious
John Bulls who busy themselves in
spreading that notion among a people
who are not acquainted with the pre-.
else state of affairs in this country.

Democratic Convention.
HAMDEN, Sept. 7, 1857.

HAMDEN, Sept. Z, 1857.
Pursuant TO an agreement between
the Democratic Central Committees of
the couLtics of Jackson and VintOn,
the delegates to the Representative
Convention met at this place, to-day,
and proceeded to organize by appoint
ing Judge b. p. HEWITT of Vinton,
and Messrs. Samuel Demp-
sey of Jackson and A. Pearce ofVin-
ton, Secretaries.
The chairman stated the object of
the convention to be the nomination Of
a candidate to represent the counties
of Jackson and VintOn in the Legis-
lature OF Ohio.
On motion, it was resolved that a
majority of all the votes cast should
be required to nominate.
On motion, it was resolved that one
county vote entire before the other is
called.
The convention then proceeded to
ballot, Messrs. ROBERT B. STEVEN
SON and JoHN d. JAMES, Of Jackson
being proposed to the convention.
The result Of the first ballot was as
follows:
Stevenson ..''''.'...'''' 30 votes,
James. .........,,....' 9
Blank. ......... ...........".23
There being no choice, the conven-
lion proceeded to take the second bal
lot with the following result:
Stevenson. .......... ..43 votes.
James. ..............'. .'''..., 8
ROBERT D. STEVENSON having re-
ccived a majority of two-thrds OF all
the votes cast, was declared the nom
inee, and, on motion, his nomination
was confirmed by acclamation.
On motion, a committee Of three,
consisting of MesSrs. Isaac Roberts
and L, G. Steel, of jackson, and E. f..
bingham OF NlntOn, was appointed 10
wait upon Mr.. Stevenson, inform him
of his nomination, and desire his pres
eEce.
On motion, it was
Re80lyed, That this Convention en-
lorse our able and faithful Repre-.
E. f. BINGHAM, in his course
during the late Legislature.
The committee having returned with
Mr.. Stevenson that gentleman accept.
ed the nomination, and rendered his
thanks to the convention for the hon
Or which it had conferred upon him.
A committee of three was appoint
ed to wait upon uon. E. b. OLDs, but
before that committee was appointed,
Mr.. Olds appeared. lie was intro
luced to the convention and delivered
IN able and spirited speech, upon the
Of which the convention ad.

M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1857-09-10
Our Candidate for senator.

The Democratic Convention which
assembled at Gallipolis on the 1st
inst, to nominate candidate to rep
resent the District composed OF the
counties Of Vinton, Gallia, Lawrence
and Meigs, in the Senate ofOhiO, per-
formed the duty assigned it by select
ing Judge p. MURDOCH ofthis county.
In a large portion of the District,
Judge NJ. is well known-irst as the
poor and industrious boy and then as
the energetic man Cfbusiness and the
successful farmer. His experience in
life has given him ar extensive knowl-
edge Of business affairs, and he is
known to be a man who, if elected to
the Legislature, would look well to a
bill that appropriated the peoples
money. Plain, sGlf-maie, and en-
lnently practical, there is none OF that
show and brilliancy about him which
conventions Of politicians sometimes
seek for to dazzle and bewiidcr the
people ; but he possesses those ster-
ling qualities of good, sound common
sense, quickneSS of perception, and a
consequent good judgment that must
always recommend him.
To the people of this District we
would say, that if they desire a rep
rescntative in the Senate who is q
plain, honest farmer, who will guard
their interests with jealous care, who
will be opposed to extravaganza in ex-
penditurcs and long sessions, such as
this State has been cursed with the
past twoyears, let them vote for Judge
MURDOCH.
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1857-09-10

REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE FOR SEN
AroE.--The Republican candidate fol
Senator in this district, We learn, is
Mr,--Pcrry, Of GallipoliS, a law
yer and a moderate Republican. Tho
nomination Of Mr.. Perry was matched
up by some ofthe leaders ofthe Know
Nothing and Republican parties ia
the counties Of Gallia and Lawrence
Vinton and Meigs not being consult.
cd. The bargain was somehow thus
The Republicans agreed that the X.
Ms should have certain proportion
oftho county offices and the rcprescn-
tatiye for and in consideration of the
balance of the county offices and the
Senator. This arrangement we heard
Of some two months ago, and it has
been carried out to the letter in both
the counties of Gallia and Lawrence.
1t has been consummated not without
much difficulty. The Galha Republi,
can acknowledges that some dissatis-
faction prevails, and we learn from
private sources that many of the
American party swear about the fusion
and their betrayal worse if possible
than the Flanderian army! Whcth-
er they will think proper to get up
" simon pure " American ticket or
vote with the Democracy remains to
be seen. 1t is a good sign to see such
corrupt bargains and sacrifices OF prin-
ciple made to defeat the Democracy,
for whatever temporary advantage
may be gained by this course, it can
not but prove disastrous in the end to
the parties which pursue it. Under
the circumstances, we look for a good
account from Gallia, and Lawrence
on the second Tuesday of October
Let the Democracy, then, roll up their
sleeves and 60 to work.
