Democratic State Convention,

1t will be observed, says the Statesman, that
the State Central Committee has called our an
nual Convention for the nomination of the State
ticket, to meet on Thursday, the 29th day OF
July. Four important officers are to be elected
this year; and as Congressman are also to be
chosen, it behoovcs the Democracy to prepare
in season for the campaign. Three is every
season to believe that we shall carry the State
by hand some majority; and it is all the more
incumbent upon us to present men so capable,
honest and unexceptionable, that even political
opponents will feel compelled to sustain them
for the public veal. True it is, that the rabid
abolitionists who control the Black Republican
organization, would not support an Angel from
Heaven, if he was Democrat; but there is
class of the people, hitherto needessly estrang-
ed from the Democracy, whose inclination and
interest it is to join us. The Convention will
be composed Of about three hundred and thirty
delegates; as heretofore, the prominent men of
the State for patriotism and intelligence. It's
duty will he to select first candidate for Judge
of the Supreme Court. Unless a Democrat
should be elected to that position, the whole
bench will be of one political complexion, and
that so narrow aud fanatical in its views, that
there will be danger or prejudice interfering to
wrap its judicial decisions. The people will,
therefore, anxiously expect from the Democracy,
the nomination ola man of experience, ability
and tried integrity for this office. Next can
dda:e for the important office oil Attorney GEN
eral must be nominated. We need not enter
upon a recapitulation Of the varied and weighty
duties appcrtaining to this office. Nor is it
necessary to diate upon the very great power
and responsibility involved in the office of Ca
nal Commissioner, which is likewise to be fill
ed The repairs OF the canals are now with the
state ITSELF and vigilance and energy are more
than ever required in their control. There is
further Comptroller of the Treasury to be Sc
lected. In order to guard against pecuIation,
or other improper practiSes in that department,
the Legislature has created new office. The
duties of the incumbent are of the most grave
and weighty nature. To fill it man Of great
capacity and unyelding integrity is required;
and such a one it will be the duty Of this Con-
4 vention to present. #
1t will be seen at once that, If upon any oc-
cason more than another, great gathering O.
the Democracy and full interchange ofopinions
and courtesies, are this year especially demand
ed The canvass o. last year, in which the
Black Republicans narrowly escaped annihila
ton, disclosed to friends as we'll as to opponents
the strength, vigor and energy Of the Ohio De-
mocracy. tits to Ohio that the Democracy O.
the whole Union now look with expectation
and hope, and we do not believe that they will
be disappointed. Our friends are prepared to
take the field, and to keep it; and inspired with
determination Of this immoveabIe character
there is no such word as fail! Let the prepare
ton Immediately he made in the several coun-
ties, not only for election of delegates to the
State Convention, but for general gathering
here on the 10Th Of July. The number of del
egrates to vote is large enough, larger body
would be unwieldy but for the purposes of in
tercourse and Interchange of opinion among
Democrats, let every one come who can come
