The Campaign Opened.

We devote so much space, this week,
to the proceedings Of the Republican
State Convention, that we have but little
left for comments. Suffice it to say, that
the Convention was fully attended, and
characterized by a degree of enthusiasm
worthy of the great cause it was called to
promote. The platform adopted and the
ticket nominated are such as all true Re-
publicans must approve. The candidates
are not only good and true men, eminentIy
fit for the posts Of honor and duty to
which they aspire, but their nomination is
well calculated to harmonize the party
and insure lis triumph at the coming
election. As a Republican, we can labor
for the success Of these men, with whole
heart. We commend the entire ticket
TO the Republicans Of Old Geauga, in
the confident hope that they will support
it with the same unanimity and enthusiasm
that have marked their devotion TO Free.
dom, in times past.
The campaign is now opened, and, ms
we believe, under auspices most favorable
to the success Of the Republican party
We went to the State Convention, dis
hearlened by the decision OF the Supreme
! Court, which seemed to us to rule away
great principles for which the Repnb
licaus of Ohio had long contended, AM
| fearful that it would insure division an,
defeat; but we returned, cheercd by til
unexpected unanmitv that prevailed i
tho Convention, and confident Of eve
greater unanimity at the polls. Il is tru
that some OF the delegates were dissatisfe
with the platform and the ticket, but th
great majority were satisfied with them
and the minority, if they are Republica
in principle, will acquiesce.
The Republicans OF Ohio are now pre-
pared TO meet the issues presented by tn
Pro. Slavery Democracy, and we cannC
doubt what the decision OF the People wi
be. Let us take courage, and labor Il
the success Of our principles and OF
men. and the result will be a goriol
Republican triumph in October next

Th. Convention and the Ticket.

The Ohio State journal in commenting
upon tho action of tho Republican State
Convention, makes tho following appropriate
remarks -
As an evidence of tho unusual interest
felt in the Republican cause in Ohio, We
may mention the fact, that not only was ev.
cry county in tho State represented by a
full delegation. but Republicans wero pres
ent in largo numbers, outside of tho regular
delegations. Tho proceedings of the Con-
vontion worc, in tho main, characterized by
the utmost harmony ana good icoiing; aud
although tho contest for nomination for Sow

prevailing enthusiasm
Tho resolutions adopted arc direct, out

sentiments. At tho late hour we write wo

cannot deny ourselves the qualification of
saying that the principles they embody arc

fend, in tho confident belief that they will
commend themselves to ono of tho largest
majOrites oyor given for FREQ principles by
the free people of Ohio.
Wo congratulate tho Republicans of the
State on tho unexceptonabIe excellence of
the ticket yesterday put in nomination, II
is composed of gentlemen who are we'll.
known in tho State, men of eminence and
ability, safo and reliable, and ovory one OF
whom will add strength to it.
With such platform of principles, aud
with such men to represent thom, we 60 in

our victory, no less than BY the righteous
Ioss of our cause.

THE FRosT.-The frost Of las; Saturday
night, seems to have extended far and
near. Our exchanges bring sad accounts
OF its effects, though it is hoped they are
not quite so serious as was at frs, sup
posed, In this region, it destroyed nearly
all the fruit, and much Of the wheat crop.
The same terrible work was done in every
section it visited. We shall all have to
submit to this dispensation of Providence,
but it seems hard indeed. after the promise
of an unusually abundant season.

A Geauga Pixies Psaksr Returned.

Mr. John Gates, OF Mlddlefeld, called
at our Office, yesterday, with rather dis
couragng news for those who think of
emigrating to Pixies Peak. He started
for the gold region, but, after arriving
within forty miles OF Ft. Kearney. he took
the back track happy to escape starvation.
On his way home, for six days, he saw
one hundred and thirty wagons daily,
loaded with disappointed gold seekers, re-
lurning to their homes. Each Of these
wagons contained, on an average, eight
men. lie also met with many returning
parties encamped on the Plains. Mr..
Gates statements corroborate the accounts
which have been published, OF the terri
bic sufferings and cannibalism OF the re.
turning emigrants. lie thinks there is
some gold TO be found at Pixies Peak
though not in sufficient quantities to pay
for mining, He met Mr. Randalps Sal
Lake Train on Platte River, about sixty
mics from Plattsmoulh, and reports tha
the whole company were in fine health anc
spirits.

JUDGE GHoLsoN.-The Safe Journal thus
speaks of tho Republican nominee for Su.
premo Judge: "JUdgo Ghoson, of Cincin-
natl, was formerly Judge Of the Superior
Court of that city, where his eminent abili-
tics and integrity were so highly apprecia.
ted, that it was against the urgent solicita-
tons and romOnstrances of numerous and
prominent men of both political parties, he
last spring declined reelection to that Of
fee. This general appreciation of all par
ties is the highest oncOmium m that can DO
bestowed ON him. Tbore can hardly be o
question that he will carry Hamilton county
by large majority, and he will increase the
security of the ticket.
In tho nomination of man of such abil-
ity, integrity and purity of character. the
people of Ohio may we'll be gratifed that
they have found successor to Judge Swan

He admitted that events had taken place
calculated to disturb and distract the Re.

to harmony. Every ono must sacrifice
something of his individual opinion to tho
general good.
