Our neighbor Of the Journal need not show

The Democratic State Convention will assem-
BILE this morning at II o'clock, in Armory Hall.
In all the history Of the past there never was
a time when the interests of the people Of Ohio,
whether the State was viewed locally or as a
member of the Federal Union, clustered so com,
pletely around apolitical organization, as they
do at this moment around the old National
Union Democratic party. , h, - ',e.sl t4ss
It's former supporters cling to the old party
with unusual tenacity, and many thinking men
who have heretofore battled in the opposing or
ganizations OF the day, now admit that the only
salvation there is for our Union, the Constitu-
tion and Government, are to be found in the
preservation aud ascendency Of the Democratic
party, and hence they are extremely solicitous
for its thorough organization and complete tri.
umph az the ballot-box.
The Delegates to the Democratic Convention
of to-day, have high duty to perform, and we
shall be much mistaken il they be not found
equal to the emergency. As far as we have
seen and conversed with the Delegates, all ap-
pear TO be animated with the right spirit, The
triumph Of Democratic principles, always re-
gsrded as essential 10 the just and faithful ad-
ministration Of the Government, the harmony
Of its several parts, and the equality OF the
States under the Federal Constitution, are now
deemed absolutely necessary to save the country
from anarchy and total ruin. Impressed with
this view the Delegates will Aenter upon their
labors resolved to blaze anew the old landmarks
Of the only real Union. party DOW in existence,
aud will tender to the people of Ohio a ticket
composed OF able and loyal citizens, who are
alike opposed to Sou bern Secession and North,
ern Abolition; a ticket of honest men, with
ability to discharge well the important trusts
devolved upon the incumbents Of the various
State Offices to be elected the coming fall. Oh.
Happily the Delegates will be left without
opportunity, to select such ticket from the
hosts of able men in the ranks of the party,
within our State, and we have no doubt but the
labors Jof the Convention will result in present
ing to the electors of the State, ticket Of M.
surpassed ability and merit. ,,.-e.gl
TIE nominations OF to day We regard al
equivalent to the election Of the various gentle
men selected; for from this time forward the
battIe-ery will be for the integrity Of the Old
Union Dsmoctatic party, and the success oi
Democratic principles and Democratic states
men, as the only certain means Of restoring The
Government, maintaining the Union and the
Constitution, and preserving the liberties Of the
people. ~ a.. --r,,vET ~fg~frC e..
