/ FOURTH OF July, 1862 The Democratic
State Convention, which assembled at Columbus
on Friday, July 4th, was altogether the largest
and most enthusiastic assemblage Of the kind
that ever met in Ohio. IL was an immense out
pouring of the true, loyal, noble. hearted Democ-
Facy Of the State. The proceedings through
out we're harmonious In the highest degree, and
the speeches we're full of patriotism and devo-
tion to the Union and the Constitution. Col
Samuel Medary presided. His speech, upon
taking the chair, was received with storm OF
applause. Speeches were also made by Messrs
Vallandigham, Ranney and Thurman, which
called forth the warmest expressions of appro
baton. We have not room for further COM
ments this week.
The nominations made by the Convention will
be found at the head of our editorial columns
Taken as q whole II is a good ticket, and will
receive warm support from the Democracy OF
Ohio.
Below will be found the Platform and kesolu.
tions of the Convention, as reported by Judge
Thurman. They were adopted unanimously,
amidst the most vocifeIous applause. This
Platform will OF course be assailed by the Abo-
lition disunlonisis of the North aud the Seces
sion disunonsts of tho South-both sets OF
faotionists being bent upon the destruction OF
this government.-NewarkA Advocate.

RESOLUTIONS The Convention which met at
Columbus on the 4Ih OF July, is acknowledged
on all hands to have been one of the largest
delegate Conventions that ever assembled in
Ohio. While there was no county in the State
unrepresented, come sent up large delegA-
tione of enthusiastic men. The correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gasette, even, acknowledges
that the number of delegates In attendance
twas unusually Lar9e-more so than has been
seen on any similar occasion for some years
past" and also, that the state of feeling among
the delegates was Remarkably harmonious. !"
From the spirit and determination evinced at
this Convention there springs feeling of hope
that the State Of Ohio will raise herself above
the fanaticism which has rested 80 darkly upon
her history, and destroy the power of Abolition
ism which the Western Reserve has welded for
years ever our State politics. The magnitude
OF that Convention bears witness 70 still more.
Ii elbows how earnest and unfaltering are the
Democracy OF the State 10 their purpose to
maintain unviolated, amid the destroying breaG III
OF reckless factions, the principles 60 dear 10
themselves, 80 necessary to the pi ieserVatOn OF
our liberties, 80 vital to the safety OF their
country. 1t was not the greed of office that
brought that large and honorable body of men
together, nor was it any certain expectation OF
triumph, but the firm and manly resolve to per
petuate the principles Of our fathers, and seDd
forth the voice oi the people in favor Of the
old Constitution and che old Union. The splriI
which that Convention assures Us is aroused
throughout the State, is a sure prestige of vic
