Democratic NIuss.

The Democratic papers of this District

10 be Douglas men from the bone out. The
Spirit of Democracy is jubiIsnt over the
victory. The Gazette is mum, mum, but
reads moral lecture to Douglas men which
clearly indicates that the editor is sorelv
vexed in spirit. The Peacock of the
Guernsey Jeffersonian, is not OF the quiet
stamp however, and makes very doleful
lament. as though his feathers had heen
shorn of all their brightness. But his fight
is all spoiled by his -Ghosty neighbcf Of
Monroe county whc say "he was not chosen
Delegate" therefore his complaint. Wonder
if the same might be said of the Gazette
man. One exchange says VIM. Lawrence
would not consent 10 act as Delegate on
account of his prospect for Congress mex,
fall, and wisely suspects as much of Jers
Williams, Of the Spirit of Democracy. 1t
is stated that every Ohio Delegate is either
instructed, else known to be for Douglas a,
Charleston. We do not wonder at the
Gazette feeling uneasy when this is the case
for were il not that that organ goes upon
the principle of su pport to me Democratic
nominee right or Drong, we know it could
not support Douglas.

vaders of her Jurisdiction into the territories
of adjoining States. 1t is to be hoped that
no circumstances will arise creating, in
their opinion, such necessity. Laws o.
the United States, as well as the laws q
Ohio, indicate the mode in which persons
charged with crime in another State and
escaping into Ohio, moy be demOnded and
must be surrendered; and the people OF this
State will require from her authorities the
punctual fulfillment Of every obligation to
other members of the Union They can
not consent, however, to the invasion .oi
her territory by armed bodies from other
States, even for the purpose of pursuing
and arresting fugitives from justice.

]. w. White, ESQ.,, of Guernsey, was cleo
ted President, and ]. III. Heaton, of Belmont,
and Jere. Williams, of Monroe, appointed
Secretaries.
The first business in order was the cleo
tion Of two delegates to attend the Charles

at a time, when the names of. Fl. Heaton

of Belmont, were presented, with those oI
]. S. Way, of Monroe and Hon. VIM. Law.
snee of Guernsey. Mr. Lawrence de.
clined a domination. saying tha,
he had served as delegate four years ago
After one or two ballots, Mr.. Way wal
selected, when the Convention proceeded to
appoint the second delegate. A majority o.
the Belmont, delegates had agreed to support
Mr.. Heaton, but some OF them voted for 9th
er candidates. After taking several ballots
without making choice, the Belmont dele,
CATION asked and obtained leave to retire
The result of their conference was that they

quest to withdraw the name of Mr.. Heaton

much naligned. H. made broi but spiri
ted speech, which was the only event tha
relieved the monotony Of the Convention
When Mr.. Lawrence sat down another
ballot vas taken, which resulted in the cleo
ton ots Dir. Eaton. OF Norris,ovn, as the
second delegate. Both this gentleman ant

that he does not want honors baaped upon

believed, aspires to the same office. Ii this
last supposition be correct. it would seem tC
