THE WHITE FEATHER CONNEN-
TION AT COIIMBIS.

According to previous announcement this Con
yention held its session AZ Columbus ON Thursday
last. There were about 5000 persons in attend
snce. Ii was attended with the usual quantum of
noise, hlustcr and confusion. AZ usual with gath
erings Of that character, it expressed no word of
sympathy or encouragement for our struggling Re
public, but every thrill of its trcaSonablc heart
pulsated for the wouldbe assasSins Of the Govern
ment. Every sentence uttered seemed 10 yibrate
in unison with the wishes and desires # their
Southern masters and the bitter enemies OF our ma
tonal existence. Ex-Governor Medill Was selected
as President of the Convention, who, upon taking
the Chair started the ball, by making a rampant
Copperhead speech. After the appointment of the
various Committees, and other officers Of the Con
yenton, this CoppoThead conelaye immediately
went into gubernatorial nomination. Judge Jones
OF GAINESVILLE, moved that Mr.. Vallandigham be
nominated by acclamaton. There was great cheer
ing at this motion, but some objection was made
and Mr.. Fitch OF Cuyahogs, nominated II. j.
JeWett.
Great confusion ensued, and for several minutes
the noise and excitement was intense. The Chair
stated that the Convention would vote by counties
and the Secretaries proceeded 10 call the list On
the first ballot Vallandgham received 45s votes

Hon George E. Pugh was called upon to respond
in behalf OF Mr.. yalandigham, which he did in a
violent TRADE Of ftoth, gasconade and treason,
which will certainly meet with the entire satisfac
ton Of vallandieham himself, wherein he insisted
upon the right of every man to spout and spirit his
treason when aud where he pleased lie said he
scorncd Order No. 80, and trampled under foot the
order of every military officer defining the law Of

who would be so certainly destined to a crushing
and overwhelming defeat next October. The
question is now fairly and squarcly presented Il
the people Of Ohio II is Union or Disunon 10y
atty or Disloyalty. The issue now is: Should the

The yallnndieham Platform.

The resolutions of the vallandigham Convention
nj Columbus begin, continue and end IN menace.
Tho Democratic Party--the preamble says-asks
nothing but its rights, and il will have them. Not
the rights Of the people, but the rights OF the Dem
ocratic party. II does not desire ansrchy, but
let those who desire to avert IT, see to IL that they
do not provoke the Democratic party 10 do IT, And
what are the rights which the Democratic party is
going TO maintain at all cost Is interpreted by the
course Of Yallaudigham-the right TO stir up sedi-
ton in time Of civil war, and to instigatc aud or
ganize armed hostility to the Government, and
against every measure for prosecuting the war.
This treason they call " the right to discuss pub
lie measures"-" the right Of public and private
liberty" Under these names they assert their
right to carry revolutionary conspiracy in the
North, aud declare their determination to prccpi-
tate rebellion if it is interfered with.
There can no longer be any question as TO the
nature of those who now control the Democratic
organization. The Columbus Convention has
thrown of all disguise. Vallandigham is its en-
bOdiment and hostility to the Government in every
FORM to end in separation the establishment of the
Confederacy, the dsintegration Of the North until
II is subjugated in detail by the Confederate mill
itary despotism, is its platform.
! The War Democrats are kicked out of the party
as unceremoniOusly as they were by the Fernando
| Wood meeting at New York. The Copperheads
have revo!utonizcd the party, discarded its plat
form pledgng support to war conducted accor-
ding to the Constitution and have taken for leader
a man who declares that any war to maintain the
Union is unconstitutional, and that secession is
right. The Columbus Convention has set up di-
viding line for the people of Ohio. On one side
is the party of secession the other, all who will
support war to maintain the National Union
This is the only party line that will divide the poo
| pie OF Ohio IN the coming canvass.-Cm Gdzetc.
