County Convention.

Our readers will observe that the call for
a County Convention, to select delegates to
represent Portage county in the State Con.
vention. is published in to days paper. Du.
ties Of more than ordinary Importance will
devolve upon the next Democratic State
Convention, and the Democracy of the sew.
ernl townships of the county, should fully
participate in the sending of delegates to it.
The ablest and most judicious Democrats
should be chosen, 80 that this county shall
have its full weight in the Convention -
Every Democrat should appreciate the great
importance or the approaching contest; ev-
cry one should feel the absolute necessity of
the redemption Of the State from the Repub.
ican dynasty which now misman our
public affairs. All should be impressed with
he universal good to be accomplished, both
or the State and the nation, by the over
throw of the sectional and fanatical Repub.
lican party of Ohio, which consummation
devouty to be wished" may, we believe, be
achieved by the intelligent and harmonious
action of the May Convention, and q bold
and vigorous contest.

Contest i'm Kentucky,

The Democracy Of Kentucky are gallant.
Iy fighting the present Gubernatorial contest
on the ground Of ntervention-denying
to Congress the right to interfere in behalf
Of slavery in the Territories. The Opposi-
ton, headed by their candidates and the
LOUISVILLE Journal, advocate congressional
intervention and the enactment of Slave
code for the Territories. How do the Oppo-
siton here like this course of their allies in
Kentucky! Since the days when Joseph
fourished in bis famous coat OF many colors,
there has appeared nothing so variegated as
the Opposition party of the present day.

Mailing Letters on the Cars.

The Postmaster General has isued cir.
cular restricting mail agents from mailing
letters on the cars, practice now carried to
such an extent as to prevent their having
sufficient time TO attend to the legitimate
duties of their positions. In consequence
OF this order, the safest course will be for
all persons to send their letters TO the post
offices, as they will be apt to have them
refused by agents at the cars, although the
latter are al lowed to mail letters under Ger.
tain peculiar circumstances where haste is
essential, and getting them into the post
office in time is shown to have been impos-
sible.

Liquors Decided to be Property

About year ago the fshermen's wives
of Rockport, Massachusetts,, broke into 70
liquor shop and made a general emash.up
OF the demijohns and bottles, after spiliDg
the contents on the ground. When the
case was brought up for trial, Chief Justice
Shaw decided that, under the Prohibitory
Liquor Law Of Massachusetts, intoxicating
liquor, when offered for sale, was not prop
erty, and that the indignant fish women had
not committed an unlawful act. II is report.
ed however, by telegraph, that on Tuesday
the full bench Of the Supreme Court, sitting
at Salem, rendered decision on appeal
which reverSes the judgment of Chief Justice
Shaw, and pronounces spirituous liquors to
be property, sacred from destruction by VIC.

them to do this. All that has seemed to be
necessary, In the Last few years, was to steal
a negro from some where down South, bring
him up North, and take him in their arms
and hold him mp in the face of the United
States officers, as much as to challenge those
officers to do their duty, and then secrete
him and then allow him to be taken /; and
then to whip up still more intense excite.
ment, attempt his violent rescue. This is
the programme Of the Republicans now, and
has been for years, in several of the nom
slaveholding States until it has been quite
next to impossible to execute in good faith
the rendition law. However, the active
men in that party do not represent the real
sentiment and sober sense OF the North.

We agree TO that,

The Dayton Empire, in an article on the
May Convention, expresses our views exact
ly in the following extract:
"No delegate should be sent TO our State
Convention who will not pledge himself to
use his abilities first to secure the harmony
OF the party, and second to aid in the selec.
ton Of the best and most available man for
State officers, without regard to local in.
terests, cliques or factions. Personal differ.
ences, minor questions, and personal prefer
eDces, merely, should yield to expediency
and a determination to harmonize every
element of disquiet. On no account should
any man be selected for delegate who would
dig up buried feuds, and fan the embers of
discord."

"FaCtS and Figures"

The article bearing this caption, which
we reprint from the Newark Advocate, we
hope no one who takes up the Sentinel will
fail to read and ponder. The article shows
that, although 1891 900 were lost by Bres.
lin, through the private advice, shameless
deception, previous illegal loans and actual
guilty participation of Republican State Off.
GERS" not dollar was lost by the advice,
misconduct or solicitation Of any Democratic
State official. In these days, when politi.
clans in the opposite ranks are recklessly
asserting, in hopes that " something may
turn up" to their advantage out of it, that
the Democratic party is corrupt, dishonest,
and prohigate, an Ohio Democrat can point
with feelings Of pride and exultaton to the
fact that had Breslin listened to the advice
of Dem ocratic State officials, instead of the
men who afterwards became Republican
State officials, he would not to-day be de.
faulter. The policy that the Democratic
party condemned, worked his ruin and drove
him into exile.

The disposition that has been prevalenr

On the statute book OF the Union is law of

pact on this, among other subje cts-the
North agreeing to respect the equal rights of
the South in the Confederacy, and entering
into an Obligation, among others, to give up,
on demand OF their owners, negroes escaping
from slave to free States. The provision Of
the constitution under which this law was
enacted, and which made 1t necessary, had
the ultimate approval OF all the wisest states
men OF the revolutionary epoch. And the
first law was signed, as none of our readers
need to be told, by Washington himself
This law was respected-as was the consti-
tution-for many OF the "purer" years OF the
republic. But, In the process Of time and
the mutations OF parties, a set of men, assum.
ing to be wiser than the fathers, commenced
to denounce the constitution, which, in the
manner we have pointed out, "recognzed
slavery" and to inveigh against the rendi-
