1--WE apprehcnd, says the Ohio States
man, that our Convention on Thursday,
thettG29th viii be; one of the largest and
most spirited that Columbus has ever
seen-si1 Fully nliFe to the Importance of
carrying the State this fall, the Democ-
racy hayc resolved to do it. And this
being so, it will be accomplished beyond
all peradventure.e The selection of hon

dates, will lead to a glorious and COM
plete victory Tits s"the first step up
the ratlines toward the red flag at the
FORE" and the duty Of making this Sc
lection devolves, ultimately upon the
Convention. As We have before re-
marked, the number ofdelegates is suf-
Recently large to cast the votes of the
several counties; but it is also desirable
that in addition to these, there should
be delegations present composed of the
leading Democrats of each township:
wherever practicable. Every Democrat
who al spare time to come to Column
bus upon this eventual occasion, should
make it a point to do so. By the coun-
sci and advice of large masses of the
Democracy outside, the Convention will
be most surely led to the nomination of
men whose election to the important Of
fees to be filed Will confer advantages
upon the State at large and do honor to
our party, Moreover, the Democracy
generally should come together in as
large numbers as possible, for the pur-
pose of comforting with each other, upon
the present favorable aspect Of u pub
lie affairs. Half a dozen delegates from
one county, four from another, and five
or six from others, are not sufficient to
hold such a general conference as the
times demand. The convention is one
of very grave moment; and We trust
that every Democrat will attend its de-
alterations who can do so. For several
years the State has been struggling un-
der the black incubus of u party mostly
composed of rabid sectionalists and fan
atics, and unprincipled hypocrites.-
