The Abolition State Convention.

Despite the most desperate efforts,
the Abolition State Convention at
Columbus Oh the 17,h was not hall as
large as the Democratic on the 11;h.
An important feature of it WAS A
PROCESSION OF NEGROES, to show the
advance which has been made in
carrying out the dOctrin of negro
equality by this party. The following
ticket was nominated.
Govemor-JoHN BRoUoH.
Lieutenant Govenor--GHAs. ANDERs ON.
Supreme Judge--HocKNG HUNTER.
Auditor-J H. GOODMAN.
Treasurer-G VoLNEY DORSEY.
Board Of Public Works.. NJ. BARmRE.
Tie friends of civil liberty, and the
opponents Of despotism, must beat
this ticket $4,000 votes.
The Republicans have nominated
that original Republican, j ohm Brough
who has been connected with that
party ever since its organization ia
1856, as ther candidate for Governor.
1t was done by the secret Loyal Lea.
guers, who were convened at Colum.
bus the day before the Convention, to
carry the decree into effect. The
nomination, thefore, is the result of q
secret conspiracy against the rights OF
the masses Of the Republican party
Brough was fixed upon a long time
ago, but was judged necessary to keef
it profound secret, FOR otherwise Tod
and his friends might take the alarm
and beat the conspirators. 1t was
arranged that Brough should make {
speech just before the nomination, ,anc
then the Commercial, Gazette aGc
Times - who were in tue secret
should declare that there was a Sp6n
taneous movement Of the people fol
him-that he was the "comlng man.
When the Loyal League met in Cleve
land, in May, the secret movement o
Brough was consumated.
II is emiuvntly fit and proper tina
a party which in this canvass maker
q fight for a military despotiem, ant
for depriving the citizen of all biz
rights, should bring out their nomineei
under the auspices Of a secret conspi
racy.
Brough has no particular persona
strength. He will get no more voies
than John Smith or John Jones
would, if they had been run by theil
party organization. Those who are
in favor Of a Russian despotism-whc
are in favor Of putting a gag or Q
paddock upon free speech and free
press-will vote tor Brough. Those
who are in favor of American liberty,
and against secret political conspira.
cies. will vote against him.
Phe Lieutenant Governor, Charles
Anderson, is we'll known in this city
and throughout the State. He ia
generous and impulsive in bis dispo.
sition and character, and we are some.
what surprised that be should occup,
his present political position in an
organization which is anything but
liberal and tolerant.

Attention miIifIn.

Oar cilizehs will see 10 another
column a notice 10 the militia OF Elk
Township. The Trustees have dis.
tricteG the TP. into three companies.
And notice is given to each company
to meet at Nc Arthur in their district,
on the 4th day OF July, 1858, to elect
officers. All other Trustees OF the
several Townships are required to do
the same thing by the law. Mr.. FEE,
as We are told, voted against publish.
ing the laws in the newspapers (;
hence many of the Township Trus
tees have had no notice Of their duties,
not having copy of the law. We
hope the Trustees will Immediately
20 to work and organize their Town
ships into company districts. Then
We will have a military force subject
to the call Of the Sheriff, to quel! riots
or insurrectioh, and repel invasion.
We should also get up Battalion of
Volunteer. Infantry, a squadron Of
Cavalry and battery of Artillery /;
these properly managed, would soon
be in an efficient state of drill. Nc
Arthur, Allensville, Hamden, and
Zaleski or Prattsvile, Mt. Pleasant
and Wilkesville, should each get up
au independent company. We think
that Gov. TOD would furnish all the
arms in his power, under the law, and
bonds for their safe keeping. This
organization should have been com.
menced two years ago.
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1863-06-25
Election Of Militia Omcers.

By The law, all the companies in
the County must elect their officers
on the 4!h day Of July next. II the
Trustees of Townships fail to lay of
company districts Of not less than 60
MOI more than 120 men to company.
then the Adjutant General must send
come person to do this duty, aud ap.
point officers or order an election.--
Now, We say to you, 60 to work and
attend to this business yourselves, it
is more than likely that you can please
yourselves better than to have the
Adiutant General send some one to
do il for you. The law is efficient,
and will, and should be enforced.
This is your government, and you
should be prepared to protect it; and
we are glad to see this move made, it
shows returning confidence ofth0se
10 authority, to trust the people with
the protection OF their own rights.
Again we say let the people 60 to
work on this organization.

Our County Convention.

We hope the Democracy in the
several Townships will not fail to at
tend their meetings on the 18th Of
next month, and appoint good men as
delegates to represent them in the
County Convention. We never had
as important all election as this fall
to the people.

SCANDINAVIA.-A friend writes to US for
our "real opinion" ofDr Roback's Scandinavian
Remedies, where he can obtain them-and why
they are called "Scandna vian," and We
arc frequently asked the same questions.-
Scandinavia is the ancient name of Sweden and
Norway, anda Scandinavian, that is, q Sweden
or Norwegian, aflectionatey calls his country
Scandinavia, u in tho same sense as we speak Of
"Collmbia" or "The Union" By the way, there
are over nine thousand Scandinavian families in
Dane County, Wisconsin. Although q citizen
OF this country for years, DR.. Roback Is Swede
by birth, and compounds his Medicines of Sye-
dish herbs, we think the name is very appropri-
ate. We have the very highest opinion OF the
Medicines, and of DR.. Roback himself, who is not
only singularly skillful physician, but gentle-
man of the Old School, as we know personally.

of our friends letter. Sec advertisements:

A SDeCk OF War In Ohio.

Inc wayne county Dem0crW o
the 18th inst. says:
1t appears that ten or twelve dayc
ago an enrolling officer in dscharg,
of his duty, was assaulted by some
farmers and driven ont of RichlanG
Township, in that county, the citizens
Of which are principally French and
Germans. Ee promptly reported the
fact to the District Provost Marshal,
James Drake, at Wooster, vino with
a posse Of six men on Friday night
repaired to the township named, and
quietly arrested four men charged
with being implicated in the affair.
But before the Marshal had pro
cecded with his prisoner beyond the
limits of the county, he was suddenly
surrounded by a body Of men, sup.
posed to have been about fifty, armed
with rifles, who, as the story goes,
commanded the Marshal and assist.
ants to do two things or die, viz:
release the prisoners, and swear never,
on forfeit OF life, to enter Holmes Co.
on such business again. The pris,
oners were set at liberty, and the
prescribed oath reported to have beer
taken.
The rescuers did no violence to the
party, and, it is said, assured the
Marshal that they were not resisting
the Conscript Act, and had no objec,
tion to his legally arresting the men
he had taken, but that they were tired
Of permitting people to be carried of
by ar5itrury arrest, without due pro.
cesss Of law, and had sworn that il
should not be done in their coanty
telling him to show his warrant to ac
as he had, and he might arrest every
man in Holmes without the slightest
trouble.
The disafiectcd citizens compose
the entire community OF those town
ships, including members Of botl
political parties. Three thousand o
these are said to have assembled al
the village Of Napoleon, fully armed
and tolerably organized, expressing
the determination to gentlemen from
Millersburg, who endeavored to dis.
suade them from their purpose, to
resist the Marshal in any attempt he
may make to carry one Of the citizens
beyond the limits OF the county to be
tried by military tribunal. The
Provost Marshal, man of will and
energy, is as much determined 10
subdHe them by an invasion Of the
hostile territory. and has received
sufficient force to effect that purpose.
The insurgents are said to be massiDg
in the billie, throwing up intrench-
ments, drilling, and are well armed,
and have two pieces of artillery

A Rochester und.) Chronicle Of
Thursday has q lengthy article giving
the particulars of the disinicrrnent Of a
Union soldier by party Of copperhesds.
Tho body was that Of r. c. HAMLET, a
member Of the 29th Irdisns Volunteers,
which wos sent home about three months
after bis death, and the body being very
much decomposed, the friends did not
open the coffin, but had It inferred a
short distance from his late reside ence.-
The Copperheeds started the story that
the coffin contained 1rms, with which
the Abolitionist were to make war upon
the Democrats, and threatened to dis
inter the coffin. On the following Wed.
nesdoy some 80 or 40 Of them, armed
with rifles, shot-guns, revolvers, &c. pro-
oeeded to the grave, and having station
ed pickets to prevent sudden interruption
commenced operations. The wife and
q brother of the deceased protested
against such proceedings, but in vain.--
The coffin wus soon reached, taken from
the grave and the lid split of iOith an ar,
when they found--not arms--but tho
body Of their former neghbor. This
satisfied tho malignity Of the fendish
gang, and they replaced the coffin in the
grav,. The Chronicle gives the names
Of fifteen persons ENGAGED in the perpe-
tration Of this outrage. tf
