The State Democratic Convention me
at CoIumbus yesterday, July goth. Tn
. report We get by telegraph says that 81
delegates were present:
Judge T. J. S. Smith, of Montgomery
presided. The following ticket was nom
mated: For Supreme Judge, Thomas W
BARLEY, of Richland; for Attorney Gener
al Jesse Burbin Ward, of Warren; for Com
:, ptrolIer, Samuel w. Gibson, of Mahoning
for Member of the Board of Public Works
r. HI. Hendrickson, Of Butler.
: The Convention adopted the followin!
: platform without debate: ere 1
Resolved, That we re-affirm and endors'
the principles set forth in the platform 0
the Democratic Convention which assembl
ed at Cincinnati in 1856.
Resoired, That we accept the adjust
ment of the late Kansas controversy, by
the late passage at the recent session o
Congress of tile Conference Bill English
report, for the unconditional admission o
Kansas into the Union, recognizing the
right of the people of that Territory alone
to decide finally and for themselves with
out Intervention from any quarter, the
question of admission under any Constitu
ton. We regard the Lecompton Contro
-ersy, so called, as at an end, and IS being
a settled issue, therefore we refuse to recog.
nize it as a test to be prescribed by either
side of those who differed in opinion upon
it, believing that all who uphold the car.
dinal principles of the party, and sustain
its organization by voting the democratic
ticket as good enough democrats for all
purposes. s saa ~ fal
Resolved, That we have full and abiding
confidence in the ability, patriotism and
elevated purity of character of James Bu-
chanan, the present Chief Magistrate of the
United States; in his wisdom and expert
ence to administer our national affairs.
Resolved, That We congratulate the
country upon the recent settlement by the
present democratic administration, of the
pretended right of Great Britain to visit
and search our merchant vessels on the
high seas in time of peace, thus adjusting
a controversy which bad remained unsettled
from the formation of onr government and
which had already cost us one foreign
war;.
Resolved, That in future we are opposed
to the admission of new State into the
Union until the population thereof shall
equal the ratio for representative in
Congress, and until, as in the case of
Minnesota, its proposed Constitution shall
have been submitted to and approved by
vote of the people.
Resolved, That the legislative enact
ments of the last General Assembly of
Ohio were eminently wise and judicious,
and calculated to promote the best inter-
ests of the State, and the prosperity of
the people, and We are unalterably oppos-
ed to negro suffrage and negro equality
without reference to shade or proportion
of African blood, and We call upon the
Legislature to take such immediate meas
ures as will enable the people of Ohio to
efectually overcome the effort now being
made, whether through the judiciary or
otherwise, to establish such suffrage and
equality as the policy of the State.
Resolved, That We approve and endorse
the law as expounded by the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court of Ohio, re-
quiring the imposition of equal taxes upon
the banking property in the State with
that of individuals.
Resolved, That with support to our prin-
ciples, and to the ticket this day nomin-
ated, we pledge our individual and united
efforts, and cordially invite every patriot of
Ohio to rally under our banner and assist
us in redeeming the State from the rule of
abolitionism.
Poor whipped spaniels, the Douglas men. |
They stick their tails between their legs,
cringe in the dust, and fawn upon their
mesters. The resolutions were adopted |
without debate; these once brave anti-Le-
heroes not having the spunk of
dirty nosed school boys to make up lips,
even, at their tutors. The Democracy of
Ohio has indeed fallen low, when few
Federal office holders can cram anything
they see fit down their cowardly throat
We hope an analysis the Convention will
be made, SO that true count of the Post
masters there assembled may be made
We expected at least an endorsement of
Douglas, supposing that the Convention
would follow the lead of the Statesman
md resolve that the Democracy of Ohio has
confidence in Douglas. ffl 'se. e.ar
The usual Democratic dodge was resort
d to in resolving that the Lecompton is
ue is dead and therefore buried out of
ight, and that all those who were or were ,
ot in favor of forcing n Constitution upon
n unwilling people are just as good Dem
Gratis rs anybody, How well the leaders
n tho Democratic party understand their ,
nen! How well they know that nothing |
an be presented so nauseous but that if
nee crammed down he throats of such S
raven slaves, the dose will be acquiesced &
l! Some of the Democrats have partial S
sensitive olfactories, SO that the stencil S
measure as it passes under the nose L
suses some rebellion-in the head, not in
10 stomache-but if the Doctor can only D
old the nose Of the patient and get the
into his mouth it will be swal- a
wed and be retained. Thus it was with "
le Compromise of 80, whenit had passed t,
le cry was let by-gones be by-gones; so p
was with the repeal of the Missouri Com il
,omise; so it was with the Kansas-Ne- ft
asia bill; so it was with the promulga- W
on of the Dred Scott decision by the Su- O
