The Nominees of the Democratic State
Cow entiOn.

We insert In the appropriate place 10 our
columns this morning the ticket nominated by
the Democracy Of Ohio and other conservative
men who cooperate with them 10 the present
grand and allabsorbing contest for the various
Offices to be filled by election Of the people on
the second Tuesday of October next.
Tho nominee fer Governor, CLEMENTL VAL
LASDieHAM, Is well known throughout the State,
and has been distinguished In the pIst ~" ears
as the most shamefully abused and persecuted
man within the limits OF Ohio. He hes 1t is
true, never been charged with imp;opri-
cites in his private life, nor with the least
semblance of corruption in his publ career;
but in these espects, is admitted by bis bitter
est opponents to be an honest and su uIrght
man. His talents are conceded to be t high
order, and bis ability to defend bis positions
with reason and argument, is admitted by friend
and foe. On all the old party issues of past
times, Mr.. VALLAsDIGHAM has occupied a con.
aervatiVe and consistent course, eminehtly be.
coming an upright and honest Democrat. Since
the inception Of our preaent troubles, whereby
our country has become distracted aud is bleed
ing at every pore, Mr.. VALLANDIoHAM has
held, and, on all proper occasions, has
expressed the opinion that war was not the best
course to compose cur troubles, and 10 fact
doubted whether We could crush the rebellion
and restore the Union by force Of arms. For
thus expressing himself at Mount Vernon In q
public speech, and cridcisiog the acts Of the
Federal Administration, as was the right Of a
freeman to do, he was, by order Of General
BURNSIDE, arrested, tried by a military commits
sion, found guilty. and sentenced to imprison-
ment during the war, which sentence
was modified by President LINCOLN for
banishment beyond the lines of our army.
This infamous and utrageousbonduot, in vio-
Iation of Constitution, Law and all the safe
guards of liberty, ct once aroused the Democrat.
ic people Of Ohio in bis behalf, and they re-
solved to rebuke the outage on personal liberty
and civil rights, by the nomination OF Mr..
VALLANDIGHAM for Governor OF Ohio, and to
follow up this nomination by an election, thus
making the rejected stone the head Of the cor
ner. Had the President of the United States
and Gen. BURNSIDE been in Columbus on yes
terday, they could have seen the effect
that their violations Of Constitution, Of
law and the rights of the citizen, in
the arrest Of Mr. VALLANDIGHAH, has
had on the true, sincere and patriotic Union
men Of Ohio. Every alluaion to their odious
military orders, and more odious conduct under
them, met with the most contemptuous response
from the people; who felt that by them all that
was dear to freemen was put in jeopardy. The
nomination of Mr.. VALLAEDIeHAh was designed
by the Convention, and does put to the people
Of Ohio the square issue, whether weliye under
government of law, in which freedom of opin'
ion and the right to criticse the civil or mill
tary conduct of our servants is tolerated, or,
instead thereof, whether Mr.. LINCOLN Is o dss-
pot, and his subordinates his instruments with
power to crush out the last vestige OF personal
liberty. All who are for despotism should
vote against Mr.. VALLANDIeHAM-all in favor
Of free speech, free press, trialby jury, habeas
corpus and all the safegu ards Of liberty which
our fathers transmitted and handed down
to us, should vote for Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM.
The nominee for Lieutenant Governor, GEo.
E. PuaH, is gentleman in relation to whom
Il would be an act Of supererogston 10 us to
make any extended remarks. His talents are
admitted by all, both friend and opponent. To
this respect be is the peer of any man In Ohio.
A lawyer Of unsurpassed ability, stateaman Of
conceded merit, and an honest man, his nom-
nation will be received with the most hearty
approval by Gil the true friends of the Union
and the Constitution In the State Of Ohio. He
will be q host In the contest before us, and his
clarion voice will rally the friends Of liberty
from hill and valley, town and country, to ac-
tion--bold, fearless action In the great struggle
In which we are now engaged, and in which our
chief object ls to cave our bleeding country
from the peril in which It ia involved.
