In to-day's GGs,tte We give the proceedings
of the great Democratic State Convention that
assembled in Columbus on Friday last, the glo
rious Alb IL was truly one OF the largest and
most enthusiastic meetisgs Of the real "bone
and siDeW" of the land, that We have ever Wit
messed in any State, and altogether the larsest
ever before assembled In Columbus. EVerE
county in the State was fully represented, and
there never was Convention of any party held
in the State, In which harmony and good feel
| ing more fully abounded and prevailed. There
was but one sentiment amongst the vast as.
semblage In regard to the propriety and i'm
portance OF the Democracy Of the country taking
firm, decided, and uLAinchng stand in defense
Of the Union ds Il toas, and the CONSTITUTION as
his.
AS long as we have been in the habit of at.
tending Democratic State Conventions in Ohio
Kentucky, and lllinos, we have never yet seen
brought together so large q concourse of peo-
pie as Tas in attendance at Columbus on Friday,
nor in which grey-heads, age and experience so
fully abounded. The delegates we're, in the
main, men OF talent, good judgment, and un-
doubted political integrity; and all appeared to
be inspired by the came sound and conserv tive
views which have ever characterized the Dem.
ocratio party. Moderation, decision, and firm.
ness sas upon every countenance, and q spirit OF
deter mination was visible throughout the vasl
assemblsge.

Montgomery; aod Hon. White of Brown. All
the speeches were good, such as are seldom
surpassed. The great issues of the day were
discussed with o spiIit that showed that the
hearts of the speakers we're in the words they
uttered. The enthusiasm Of the people was un,
