Our slave-drising democratic friends held
their state convention at Coldmbus on the 29th
alt, abd we learn, bad very respectable gath
eting, as to numbers The chair was flled BY
T. ]. s. snIru Of Montgomery. The nCmina-
tions made are as follows:
Supreme Judge, THOMAS w BARLEY, Rich
land; Attorney General JrssE D. wAhD, War
ren, Comptroller, 8. w. GinsoS, Mahoningi
Board Of Public Works r. H. fleudriekson,
Builer
wfthihe clear sighledoess, which characters
ICES the party which last winters Legislation
will verify, the candidate for Comptroller was q
member Of that memorable BODY which created
the Office which he hopes to GIL, and which Is
not 10 harmony with the Constitutions
The resolutions, are what we desire more
especially, to direct attention to. They are cm'
inen,ly democratic, and JAMES BucuASAS. is
the great enbodymeut and representative ol
the pprty4-its liability. patriotism and elevated
purity Of character and not whimpcr is heard
from the squatter sovereignty braves, who il
would seem have been Rdrey. .fed-hopped and
Ithiotted into Submission, and the dociliy seal
ed By the talismanie touching Of noses. and not
imprcbably, by The smackiug of lips. But here
are the resolutions. Read them for yourselves;
Resolred, That we re-afiirm and endorse
the principles set forth in the platform Of
the Democratic Convention which assem-
bled at Cincinnati in 1855
2. That we accept the adjustment of
the late Kansas controversy, by the late
passage at the recent session of Congress
Of the Conference bill English report, for
the unconditional admission Of Kansas into
the Uuion, and recognizing the right Of the
people Of that Territory alone to decide
finally and for themselves without interven-
tiou from any quarter, the question Of adj
mission under any Constitution. We re.
gard the Lecompton Controversy, so called,
as at on end and as being settled issue,
therefore we refuse to recognize it as test
to be prescribed by either side of those
who differed in opinion upon it, believing
that all who uphold the cardinal principles
Of the party, and sustain its organization
by voting the democratic ticket as good
enough democrats for all purposes.
3 That we have fuI aud abiding confidence
in the ability, patriotism and elevated puri-
ty Of character of James Buchanan, the
present Chief Magistrate Of the United
States; in his wisdom and experience to
administer our national affairs.
4. That we congratulate the country
upon the recent settlement by the present
democratic administration, of the pretend
ed right Of Great Britain TO visit and
search our merchant vessels on the high
seas in time Of peace, thus adjusting con-
trovcrsy which had remained unsettled from
the formation Of our government, and Which
bad already cost as one foreign war, that
in future we are opposed to the admission
Of new State into the Union until the
population thereof shall equal the ratio for
a representation in Congress, aud until, as
in the case of Minnesota, its proposed Con-
stitution shall have been submitted TO and
approved by vote of the people.
S. That the Legislative enactments of
the last General Assembly of Ohio, were
emnently wise and judicious aud calculated
to promote the best interests of the State,
and prosperity of the people, and we are
unalierably opposed to negro suffrage and
negro equality, without reference to shade
or proportion of African blood, and we
call upon the Legislature to take such i'm
mediate measures as will enable the people
Of Ohio TO eirectually overcome the effort
now being made, whether through the Ju-
dietary or otherwise, to establish such suf
frage and equality as the policy Of the
State.
G. That we approve and endorse the
law as eXpounded by the recent decision Of
the Supreme Court of Ohio, requiring the
imposition of equal taxes upon the banking
property in the State with that of indvid-
uals
I. That with support TO our principles,
and to the ticket this day nominated, we
pledge our individual and united efforts, and
cordially invite every patriot Of Ohio tc
rally under our banner and assist us in re
deeming the State from the rule Of Aboli
