Democratic State Convention in
'7f - Ohio.

The Democratic State Central Committee has
agreed upon the 7th of September next rs the
period for nomination of Democratic Union
Ticket IL Ohio for Governor and other Stale of.
ficers to lie sup ported at the ensuing October
election. The Democratic press OF the State
with almost entire unanimity. express the opin.
ion that this is too late a call, and should bt
reconsidered, and an earlier one put out Con.
gress will meet on the 4th of July; its proceed.
ings will be shaped by the first week in Angus
and, in our opinion, it would be cxpedlent fol
the committee to have the Convention about
that time. This will give eight weeks for tht
canvass Let the call embrace Democrats and
Union men of all shades who are for the pres
ervation fthe Government and for the suprem.

A Democratic Union State Convention was
held last fall, and it sustained the Union by
denouncing the coercion of the rebels, and in
directly rendering them sympathy and aid
The result was that the Democratic Union par
ty was most soundly thrashed. The language
of the Enquirer indicates that the same old par
ty intends to pursue the same course. at is
high time for the conserratiue sentiment. North
and South, to make itself heard at the polls, %
means that there is a chance for those opposed
to the war, and who would secure peace by a
disho norable compromise with the traitors, tn
make move. =, .ze-r seT 54S
'tStrict adherence to the Constition and its
compromise" means opposition to the war pol
icy of the Administration. We have this to say
to the Democratic leaders of Ohio, that if they
expect to sustain an anti-Administration party
in this State, they are mistaken. If they un-
dertake to organize an anti-war party, for tn !,
purpose of purchasing peace with the rebels.by
compromises outside of and beyond the Con-
stitution, they will fail. If they attempt to
unite the Union sentiment Of the Stale into the
old Democratic party, they will be dead cocks
in the pit the day of election. g 9z2
We cannot approve of the suggestion that the
Convention should be called at an earlier day
han has been named by the State Democratic
Committee. Weare sure later day, saw the
hird Tuesday in October, would be better for
hose who intend to participate in it. -

John Minor Bolts In washI.s.


ton. "a
We have received from the Hon. John
Minor Bolts 1. letter dated Washington
City, June "a, 1861, which be opens by
ssying: ~You will be surprised to hear
afom this place. 1t was with great DANCE.
"Ireached bere. and only under cover Of
"a disguise. " That 30 distinguished q
citizen Of Virginia could only thus reach
the capital of his country, pains even more
than it surprises US. The fact is one Of
those striking comments upon the charac.
ter of the Southern insurrection which do
not need to be enlarged upon.
But the context Of Mr.. Bolts letter is
even more surprising than the circumstan.
CTS under which it was written. He is in
Washington as member of Congress and
is there we presume, to take his seat in the
House on the 4th of July next. This i'm.

in these precise terms: 81 anounced my
.sself as candidate for the Richmond
"District, and received l73. votes, which
there being no opposition, elects me-,
But the letter brings US other and even
more important intelligence. We learn
from il that the Southern insurrection Of
white men is already at its last gasp, while
instructions of Southern black men threat.
en- the destruction of Slavery. And these
facts we have not only on the testimony Of
John Minor Bolts, who might be regarded
as partial witness, but on the Gen. Beaure.
gard himself, who is certainly more COM
petent to speak upon the subject than any
other man in the country. Beauregard,
says Mr.. Bolts, has sent circular South,
from which the following is quotation.
HIF THE CoTToN STATES DO NOT RAISE

So much for the white instruction. On
the blacks, he says: -taf Ell p
"Our troops in this State (virginia) to
great extent, are 5usy in suppressing in.
surrections among the blacks. They are
breaking out in every direction But this
has significance to US at the North,
which puts new face upon this question.
Gen. Beauregard's Circular adds: "But
for this your desire to see Washington In
ruins vould long since haze been gratjfed.'
There is another bit of news in Mr.. Bolts
letter more interesting and important

sEThe rumors which have been widely
circulated that the Administration had received
proposals for compromise from the traitors,
which it was disposed to take into considera-
ton are false. Ii any such propositions have
been made they have not been entertained for a
moment. There is manifestly but one course 10
be pursued-to suppress. at all hazards the ex-
listing rebellion. We have the power and the
will to do So and already the traitors are so en-
vironed that an overwhelming victory over their
forces will doubtless soon be achieved. They
cannot successfully resist our overwhelming
numbers and superior military organization
Hemmed in on sea and land, with their ports
blockaded, their strongholds invested, their re-
sources almost destroyed, their leaders must
know full well tina. they will soon be compell-
ed to submit or flee from the country to save
their forfeited lives.

eECongress meets to-day. 1t has been
summoned by President LINCOLN to devise ways
and means to put down rebellion in our land,
and its doings will be anxiOusly looked for by
the people. Wehear already of another attempt
to be made immed lately on its organization
to indirectly aid the traitors, by insisting on
humiliating peace, or embarrassing the Admin
istration in its efforts to prosecute successful
var. Mr.. CRIrTENDEN threatens US with re-
newal of his compromise proposition, which
: was all very well in its day, but that day has
gone past, nor will it return until the Ameri-
can flag floats from Fort Sumpter, and the Un-
ion is recognized in Texas and Carolina-.
There will be men in the North eager to Join
in this work. We have traitors among us who
have been apathetic and silent in this time of
enthusiasm-who are beginning to murmur for
peace already, and who only desire the oppor-
tunity to shout treason as defantly as they dia
in january and March. In New York, there is
a movement on foot to commit the Democratic
organization to this degrading policy. The At-
las and argus, the leading Democratic organ
of the State, is insiduous and persistent in its
efforts to aid treason, while the New York
Ners, the personal organ of BENJAMIN WooD, q
member of the new Congress, declares the pres
ent war to be war "between the Black Re-
pubicahs and the South" and trusts "the Dem
ocratc party will not be SO unwise, inconsistent,
and uppatriotic as to embark in a war for their
subyersion and destruction In Ohio we see
such journalists as SAM. MEDARY advoca ting a

of the State declaring its platform to be "the

Condition of Affairs sout h

An OLD gentleman named JOhn T.. ar
rier, resident of Alabama for thirty-si,
years, and for twenty a member Of thu
Baptist Church, arrived at Cincinnati las
week direct from his home on the Tom
bigbee river. He was in independent cir
cumstances, considerable farmer, but mol
stakeholder. To escape persecution be
came North, leaving his family on the
farm. The Cincinnati Gazette youches for
the reliability of the statements Of Mr.. F.
who reports anything but an inviting ac-
count Of the condition Of affairs in Ala
bama and Mississippi. Of Alabama
He says. that the condition Of the poor
whites and great majority Of the blacks,
is terrible. Both are starving. The SOL
diers, Notwithstanding their hatred of the
North, begin to chafe under the Southern
rule, and in many instances they have de-
ma .!ded Their pay at the muzzle Of the re-
volver. As a general thing they are poor
" provisioned and very badly cared for,
but extravagantly 'promise erammed. -
Their desire is to ravage and ravish the
North, and "booty and beauty" is their
motto. D'''' ''''7 s''4 -''t.i 81 -saiii
q A Confederate officer told Mr.. F. on the
cars at Noble, that fully six hundred SOL
diers are now on the sick list in Fort Nor
gan, at Mobile Point, and he believed that
unless something was done to improve its
bygienic condition, fully thousand would
be taken down during the week. The
whole country is in arms up to the Ken
lucky line, and JEFF. Davis spies, hired at
$40 per month, are literally distributed all
over. One was on his way to Louisville
with Mr.. F., and it was his Intention to vis-
it Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and other East
ern points to New York, and to return
home through Virginia. g -.su -
As Mr.. Farrier passed through Missis-
sippi, the utmost CONSERVATION and terror
prevailed among the Union people. If
man dared TO declare Union opinion or
sentiment, It was the signal for his sum
mary death. Numerous instances of this
kind occur daily, as we have heard from
other sources. II is common practice to
hunt do,0n Union men aoith dogs, and kill
them as such, at present, in lower Missis-

Iarly regarded in Secessia as capital sport.
