The Democratic State Convention, which
meets in this city tomorrow, promises to be
oIe of the largest over held here. Delegates
and outsiders have been arriving since Mon
day, and the hotels were a1l full before the ar
rival Of any Of to-day's trains. Some thirty
extra cars have arrived over the l.. II. alone
frcm Cincinnati, Dayton and the southern
1art Of the State. All the prominent men Of
the party are here. The more conservative
War Democrats, as we'll as the peace men,
and I believe all the noisy politicians with
out exception, are Vallandigham men.
There seems to be but one opinion On the
question Of Governor. Nearly all the dele
gates hare been instructed to yotc for Vallap-
dlgham. Judge Pierce Of Cleveland Is here,
md with the delegations from Cuyahoga,
Anglaize, Allen aud Shelby, arc strongly OPP
posing Vallandigham, and urging McClellan's
name.
A dispatch 1as been received, however,
from Mcclellan to-day By Sunset Cox, In
which he declines to be a candidate, and pro-
tests aRaInst the use Of his name in the con-
,ention, and says, so am informed, that he
does not harmonize with the movement Of
the peace Democrats in this atatc. This will
settle his case;> but then, had Mcclellan con-
sented to become candidate, he would have
stood no chance in the Convention.
The Convention will, / think, take m infor-
NAL ballot for Governor, aud Vallandigham
will then be nominated By acc11mation. On
the other officers there is but little interest
and little talk. George E. Fugh and Judge
Thurman are each spoken Of for Lieutenant
Governor, but 1t is known that both will de-
cline Judge Beldcn Is the next person most
| talked Of, so is johnson, Of Crawford, md
] Sawyer, Of Anglafze. Judge A. G. ". Carter
ia here working for Supreme Judge, with no
ghost ofa chance. Van Trump, Of Fairfield,
seems to be the prominent candidate. Knapp,
Of Ashland, Is talked Of for Treasurer. No
names are prominently mentioned for other
Offices.
Several caucuses nre being held tonight, but
| nothing has transpired. There area large NUM-
ber ofreso1utions, or sets Of resolutions, being
banded about, md should not be surprised
! iftle committee to whom they will be referred
will lave trouble In reconclllng the difference
between the war and peace elements.
| think, so far as can learn at the present
writing, that the Convention will first adopt q
resolution demanding the return Of Vallan
digham to this State. They will then adopt In
substance Fernando Woods peace platform,
with the adoption Of resolution compli
mentary to our soldiers for their bravery an6
courage, and perhaps expressing regret at tht
loss Of life, &c. They will protest agains
the Importation of negroes to compete will
the white labor in the North, and will depre
cate the appointment Of politicians as Gen
erals. This, it now seems, will be the platform.
1t has been raining hard all evening, whlcl
| ~il probably prevent the assembling Of thi
convention on the capital steps as intended
Hugh Robinson, who came up on the trair
to- day, was arrested at Lenia, and confined IL
the car which has prisoners, but WAS released
on reaching here. The cause Of his arres
was his convsrsing with rebel prisoners, AMI
telling them he would give them better clothe
If they would stop in Cincinnati on their re
turn, and for some other remarks to tn
guard, said not to be loyal, but what thes
were could not learn. He was under th
influence Of liquor at the time. a.

CoLUMBCs Ohio, June 9.-The Democrac,
now assembled here assert their determination
to insist upon the adoption Of the Fernando
Wood peace platform. The lata backing
down Oh the Chicago Times has given th'
peace advocates backbone, and you can occa
tionally hear some bold'hearted secesh sym
nat hizer damn Order 33.
Col. Pagrott, Provost Marshal General o
the State, returned to-day from tour Of tn
State. He expresses high satisfaction witl
the progress and manner Of enrolment. N
trouble has occurred, except In Morrow coun
ty, and that was trivial. In q few days til
machinery will be complete for the draft q
| short notice.
