The Democratic CnII.

are choosing and getting ready TO choose,
delegates to the State Democratic Conven-
ton which is called to meet at Columbus, on
the 9TH of August. At the meeting of the
State Central Committee, which met to make
the Call, among other resolutions the fol-
lowing was adopted:
Resoired, further. That all the electors of
the State of Ohio, who are in favor of per-
pntuatng the principles upon which our
Union was founded, and are convinced
that the present State and National Admin
istration arc wholly incompetent to manage
the Government in its present critical con-
dition, as well as all who are opposed to the
gross extravaganza and corruption now so
alarminsiy prevalent in public affairs he
earnestly invited to unto with the Dcmoc-
racy in this hour of our countrys peril and
thus redeem the State and place its admin
istration in competent hands.
The Cleveland PlaindsdIcr, warm sup
porter of Douglas, last fall, thus speaks of
tho "Call, b" and the disposition to overthrow
tho Government if needs be to keep step to
party music:
Now we unhesitatingly assert that the
Democracy of the State are not included in
this invitation. The democrats have IL large
majority of the 100000 soldiers now under
arms, and sustaining the Constitutional Gov
ernmcnt in putting down rebellion, and we
are not prepared to shake their confidence
in the General Government, and the leading
Generals Of their appointment to direct their
movements to that end. We do not see
thcir inability. 1t docs not yet appear that
they arc incompetent for that work. We
will not place ourselves in the wrong by re-
fusing support to the consttutionally chosen
Government in crisis like this chea riJhi
simply because they are political opponents
nor will we sustain our own partisans in
power when radically wrong.
As 60 corruption, when we get n little fur
thcr from the Buchanan administration IN
point Of time, an administration which the
Democracy gave the country, we shall have
the heart to cry corruption. We will wait
till the Galphns, Garducrs, and Swartwouts
get over blushmg for Buchanan's corrup-
tons, before we discharge battery in that
direction.
We predict that the first work of the con-
vention on the 9TH of August will be to draw
black lines around that resolution, and write
across the face of it, "EXpunged 10y order

The remarks of the PIaiRdealer accord
eXactly with our views. This is no time for
the passage Of partisan resolutions giving
aid and comfort to the rebels, while the con-
sttutional Government is engaged in a ire
mendous struggle to put down gigantic re-
bellion. We can not perceive that The main
tenancc of the Democratic organization re-
quircs any such act of disoyalty. If it does
we had better "lct it slide 1t may do for
the scmi-scccsson politicians Of whom there
are still few scattered throughout all north

resolutions Ike the above, but we protest
against their doing it in the name Of the De-
mocracy. The Democracy are FOR the coul-
try, not AGAINST ii, and u good evidence of
this is the fact that at least 10000 demo
Gratis have taken up arms to defend the Gov
ernment and crush the rebels. They have
not forgotten, nor will they forget, thc dying
: words of Douglas, urging them to stand by
the constitutional administration OF the coun-
try in the great conflict which has been
forced upon it. The mass of the Democracy
are LOYAL, and will remain so, whatever pol
itcans by trade may do or say.
