Editor Rutland Herald:
The following straw" shows very ac-
curately (which way" the presidential
wind blows" in Ohio. 1t is the action
of the Convention held at London, this
state on the 18th inst, to choose dele.
gates to represent the Columbus district
in the Baltimore Convention, and was
adopted with great enthusiasm. 1t is
as follows:
at is declared by this convention tina
having undiminished confidence in tn
integrity, ability and patriotism of on
present Chief Magistrate, Abraham Lin
coin, and believing the people at thi
time demand his nomination and re-elec
ton to the Observation-Disclosures,
RrS0lrcd That the delegates appointe,
here this day to the Baltimore Conven
ton be, and are hereby instructed to yot
for, and use all honorable means to pre-
cure his nomination as the candidate 70
President of the United States at tn
coming election. and to oppose all mea
sures whether emenating from open Q
masked enemies, which look to the posi-
ponement of the nomination to any otf
er period"
This is good, and to the point, an
may be safely set down as the sentlmer
of the great majority of the loyal men
Ohio. Ours is noble state, sount' Iroi
center to circumference and Loyal to L.
core. We have some copperheads amoni
us yet, who have not emigrated t
Canada for their health, but they are a
hopelessly in the minority as was Juda
among "the twelve" And since Grant
unparalleled successes have transpired
they have incontinently crawled int
their holes. TThe elongation of thei
faces is wonderful when one of Their
can be SEEM Counting out these rer
tiles, Ohio will go solid for Lincoln.
The conviction Of the loyal and patri
otic-those who are so without an "if
is that the present is the wrong tim
to make change in the administration
By continuing it, as 1t is, for four year
longer, the rebellion must de- and th
Davis dynasty be scattered to the wind
The rebels themselves, know this as we
as we do. They will know too VIII
they have got to deal with, and mak
their arrangements accordingly.
Four years hence, the whole natio
with one glad accord, will make Gener
Grant, President, and say to the worl
s'thus shall it be done unto the ma
whom" the people delight to honor. v
But, in the mean time, we want b
splendid talents sin the field" and Il
incorruptible integrity of Father Abr
ham in the chair of State. We have
-. Fremont, Chase, a Butler, Sewar
and Sumner, all men of superb admi
istrative talents, who have just clair
upon the nation for the highest hone
we can bestow; but now is not the til
to press them All of them can bi
their time.
Ever since the commencement of Il
fo war, Ohio has taken bold and decid
stand in defence of the government, |
since the inauguration of Gov BrOu.
