The Democratic State Central Committee
met at Columbus on Friday last and issued
a call for a State Convention to be held
in that city upon the 7th of August next.
We refer the reader to the second resolution
which we give below. 1t is refreshingly cool
this swarm weather, and did it not emanate from
the democratic State Central Committee we
should think some one was attempting to play
off joke at the expense of that once respecta-
bic party. Think of the Administrations of
Pierce and Buchanan, and of the critical con-
dtion to which they have brought the country,
and then of few aiders and abettors getting
together at Columbus, and with the solemn
ity of owls, passing such resolution as this;
ssgvsd further That all the electors the State Of
Ohio who favor of perpetuatng the principles upon
which Union was founded aud are convinced that the
present State and National Administrations wholly
incompetent to manage the Government in its present
critical condition well as all who opposed to the
prevalent in public affairs earnestly invited to unite
Wits the Democracy in this hour Of countys peril
and thus redeem the State and place It's NATURALIZATION IN
competent hands.
The independent Democratic press OF Ohio,
is speaking out manfully against the "call'
which has been issued by the "Committee. "
The Cleveland Plaindealer in speaking of the
government, says:
Now unhesitatingly assert that the Democracy OF
the State are includedin this invitation. The Demo-
Gratis have large majority Of the 100000 soldiers

The Capital City Fact, paper that support
ed Breckenridge for the Presidency, says:
This is no time to raise a question as to
the competency of an Administration which
has been chosen by the great voice to pre-
side over us for four years. If fincompetency
discover itself, let wise consuls be brought
to bear, and not partizan hatred and i'll
feeling. Men or parties of men who seek
to cripple and succeed 10 crippling the Ad-
ministration in its campaign for the Union,
are nothing less than traitors, and worse
than Southern Rebels.
Good and true Democrats, almost with
out number, who quiely hoped the Democ-
racy would not leave the people, now openly
avow their determination to enter the I'm
ion army and boldly assist in sustaining the
Administration in the war against the Reb-
els.
In this connection, we deem it proper to
publish the following from the Sandusky
County Democrat of last Wednesday:
awe have only room say Of the message of President
II successfully vndicates the policy of the Adminstra
tion thus far-euts up the doctrine Of secession by the
roots and will greatly to strengthen public conf

traitors Loyal Of tkatever PeTy NAME can heartily
endorse this massage The Presidents only purpose is TO
uphold the Government, and he has chosen the only
means disposal 10 do thisthe last resort Of all
governments to preserve their existence.
awhat then, Is the duty OF Democrats-of all men-in
this crisis? to give to the constituted authorities all
the and aid in power ors II weaken
their hands this great struggle by publishing to the
world-by sounding in the Of the rebels that
are oconyinced that the National Administration is
wholly incompetent TO manage the Government in its
present critical condition" done by little knot
Of gentlemen at Columbus, last week. The path which
patriotism points out is plain Loyal men will have no
dieuty finding nor will they be deferred by party
discipline from following it.
Now, let US hear from the Messenger
