Unsound Political Doctrines that
ahOuid BIO Condemned.

The Democratic State Convention will hardly
fail, if il represents the real Democratic senti-
ment of Ohio, to condemn in the strongest Ian
guage the doctrine contended for by the Repub-
iicans, that the President of the United States
may violate the Constitution; may set IL aside
whenever he concelves IL to be NECESSARY to do
30. A more pernicious and dangerous heresy
was never uttered. Il renders our Constitution
mere blank piece Of paper, and converts the
President into On ABSOLUTE DEsPoT. He takes
an oath to support the Constitution when he en-
ters upon the duties of the Office, yet the Repub-
lcans tell us he can uiolats it when be thinks II
NECESSARY! What logic! What morality! :
When denouncibg this necessary doctrine, the
Convention should also brand as false that part
of President Lipcoln's message which assaili
the old cardinal Democratic principle OF State
rights, and insists that sovereign States occupy
the same relation to the Federal Union thai
counties do to states, thus overturDiDg the
whole structure Of our Government, and max
ing Of 1t o centralized despotism. State rights
and strict construction Of the Constitution
constitute the living, vital principles of Ameri
can liberty. President Lincoln ard his friends
are arrayed against both.--Cin Enquirer.

GEs. McDowELL.-very high expectations

perience, resolnte character, and above ell,
the prestige Of brilliant success. to the enlarged
field on which he Is to act hereafter, and these
are the qualities which command and deserve
the confidence OF the public. We share these
hopes to the fullest extent, and trust that every
possible facility which the Government, as well
as the people. can afford, will be given him in
the discharge Of bis duties.

DANIEL S. DICKINSON ON THE "PEAcE

Tunckhannock, Wyoming Co.. Pa, on Monday,
on the state of the country, in which he expos

ment which is now attempted in the North.
He said that since the sword had been I'M
sheathed by the rebels themselves, only traitors
and towards would talk of compromising with
them. Of the charges made against the Pres
ident he said: IL know not whether Mr.. Lin
coin has observed the constitutions indeed, for
the purpose of resisting the rebellion, l care
not. 1t is due to him to say, however, that he
has seemed to be in good faith attempting to
put down the rebellion. He has not done all
things as | would have done them, because
would have multiplied his men by about four
and where he has struck one blow would have
struck a dozen. Laughter and cheering.
Therefore do not agree with him in that re-
spect. When the day comes we can have set
Element with him, for he is to be held with all
other officers to a strict account. But would
not do even that under the smoke of an enemy's
guns" In reference to the suspension Of the
writ of haheas corpus he said :-"It had pos
session of traitor. and no other remedy would
arrest treochery, would suspend the writ, and
the individual too"
