Dgmoefatio CountY 0onYention.

| Of the county OF Cuyahoga, agreeably u
previous notice, assembled at the Old COurt
House In the city Of Cleveland on Saturday
the 2stA of July, 1860 At tthe hour appoint
ed (ll o'clsek) as specified in the call, thC
Convention was called to order by Judge
sTARKwEATHER, who proposed the name Of
the Hon. REUBEN WooD, Of Rookport, as Pres
ident, which was received with loud applause
As the tall and still erect form Of the old
chief Of the CuyahOga tribe Of the Democracy
asoendsd the platform he was greeted with
cheers from all the Delegates present
Gov. WOoD said he accepted with much
pleasure the position assigned him, and would
do his best 10 fulfil its duties. Glad was he
again to meet his old neighbOrs and fellow
Democrats in q County Convention. Among
those present, he recognized men with whom
for more than aquarter Of centery, he had
fought against the common enemy Of the De-
mocracy, who, he was glad to find, in these
degenerate days, still true to their principles
the supporters of BREOKINRIDaE and LANE. =
The Douglas wing Of the Democratic party
call US boilers who never missed fire when the
Democracy had an enemy to contend against.
In making this charge, the Douglas men claim
that their candidate is the regular nominee.
They profess 10 believe that no Was nominated
By q Convention which had been disrupted
and BY vote larger than that Of all the Del
egates present could give. This is impossible,
Neither Of the candidates before the people
were regularly nominated by the usages Of
the party, and hence all are allowed to vote
for whom they please. The first duty of
Democrats was TO beat the Blaek Republicans
and this could be done by BREcK1NRIpeE and
LANE, and could not be done BY DOUGLAS and
JOHNSON. The entire South, in an unbroken
column, and with the South the Pacific States
are certain for BREoKISRmGE. New Jersey
he felt confident would give him her vote, and
Notwithstanding the late fusion between the
Douglas men and the Bell Know Nothings,
New York would do the same. Mr.. DOUGLAS
cannot carry single State Of the Repub-
lie-not q single Electoral vOte-the only
State Mr.. DOUGLAS is certain Of, is the State
of disappointed hopes and ambition, and these he
will carry with him to his grave.
Did he (GoY. WooDl believe Mr.. DOUGLAS
was the strong man man in the contest, he
would give him his vote. But he is not-his
remaining in the field but renders sanguine
the hopes Of the opposition Of the success Of
their candidate.
After again thanking the Convention for
the honor conferred, Gov. WooD sat down
amid the enthusiastic applause of the Dele
gates. sHhnea .a
