SA-Arong the resolutions reported by

adopted By the "Democfatlc Convention, :
which met In this city on the 1th inst, ind
the following;
uRssolUsI Thai the corruption, extrava-
panoe. incompstence and iavcTitism shown
In the War Departments Of the State and
Fe5erai Governments, deserve and receive
our unqualified condemnation, and ought to
be Immediately corrected and reformed"
These are grave charges. Ifvell founded
the state authorities, and especially myself
as the Executive, ought Immediately to re-
sign their ofici'l trusts. II false, those who
have preferred and those who gave ourren-
cy to them, must receive the merited con-
demnAtion Of an indignant people. Your
resolution embodies general accusations !
call upon you for particulars and demand
the evidence upon which you base your as
sault; the medium through WHICH it shall
be given leave you to determine.
That you may be prepared for the fullest
exhibit OF facts, I invite you 70 n thorough
examination Of everything relating to the
War Department Of my Administration. All
contracts, correspondence, records Of appoint
meuts. and orders appertaining to the De-
partment you have attacked, shall be freely
exposed, and yeu shall be furnished with
copies OF whatever papers you designate. I
extend you also the liberty of inlerrogating,
at your pleasure, every officer in my staff
and every assistant in my own and in their
offices. iI'f ttAt.l
If your resolutions are not the exponent
of q purpose as old as the War, and as ma
lsvolent as it is iuvidious, to simulate pat
riotism and economy, but instili distrust by
which political ambition and party avsrici
may be subserved, public credit deprecisteC
and the National Government compelled Il
a disRrsceful compromise with armed treason
you viii promptly seize the opportunity
give you to show the people thatthose whom
YOU represent are sctuated by motives o
honest antagonism to rebellion, not less thai
by anxiety for the preservation of pOlitica
identity and the supremacy of doctrines
which, Unpopular vote, the loyal States hav
condemned. Respectfully, uL

A correspondent of the Msck-a-Cheek
Press calls attention to VIM. Lawrence, of
Logan county, as q suitable candidate for the
Office of Supreme Judge. He says
r"With all due regard for the opinions and
preferences Of others, we would suggest the
n lme Of VIM. Lawience of ourown Logan
county, as that of man eminently qualified
TO fll that position, We suggest bis name
not as a partisan candidate mot because he
is member Of the Republican. party--but
because be has the integrity and capacity to
fill the Office with credit 70 himself and hon
or to the State. he has lived with Us many
wears, and all know him and can trust in
him. In the public positions in which be
mas been placed, he has been faithful and just,
has always delivered his position into the
hands of bis successor unsullied. He is an
able lawyer, ripe scholar, a great student,
! man Of unfiinching integrity, and withal
courteous and sffable in all contracts with his
fellow men. In fne, he Is just such man
as would distinguish himself upon the Bench
Of the Supreme Court OF Ohio, and would
reflect honor and dignity upon the position
and the State" 's'i
This part Of Ohio has no Judge, and it
therefore has local claims.

Committee on Resolutions at the 7th Of Au-

If you designed the letter for the official
organ of that COMMITTEES, it should have been
addressed to the Hon. b. E Smith, Of Stark
county. I read the resolutions before the
Convention at his request, and this act prob
ably led you into the error Of supposing that
was the Ohairman. URless, therefore, you
specially desire reply from ue, will re-
turn the letter to you, or forward it to Judge
Smith, as you may prefer. 3 =

We learn that q man named 7. B. Lincoln
was arrested in Cincinnati, on the charge Of
treason, as being a Confederate spy. On
searching bis trunk, letters were found show
ing him 10 be Texan, and were of such a
nature as to warrant his commitment A
hearing of his case was had yesterday -
Among his papers were found lists Of the
principal secessionists in the South, prices of
cavalry horses, equipments, &c. Among the
letters was found the following bonnie boueke

We hope there Is some mistake about this
letter. We never we're accused of partiality

The question whether the State of Alabama can
wholly secede from the Union and adopt new rev.
enue system without the consent Of the Federal
Government is easily answered in the negative if
regard be had to the following clause in the ordi
nance passed by the Convention which formed her
constitution and State government preparatory to
her admission into the Union:
This Convention, for and in behalf OF the people
inhabiting this State, do accept the proposition
offered by the act of Congress under which they are
assembled; and tins Convention, for and in behalf
of the people nhabitng this State, do ordain agree
and declare that they forever disclam all right and
title to the waste unappropriated lands lying IN
this State, and that the same shall be and remain at
the sole and entire disposition of the United States
and that no tax shall be imposed on lands the
property of the United States and that all naVgaoie

therefor imposed by this State; and thts ordnance
