"MEMoRIAL TO POSTPONE THE BAL
TIMoRE CoNvENTIoN.-The Vermont
Union State Committee have memo
rialized the National Committee tc
postpone the time for holding the Bal
timore Convention"
There is tremendous effort to post
pone the Republican National June
Convention. There is screw loose
somewhere-very loose. The next
move will be, and that is the Original
one, two years old, to have no Con-
vention, but to proclaim Mr.. Lincoln
President for four years more, or du'
ring the war, as developed in Seward's
Auburn speech of last October, and
tenderly referred to by General jim
Lane at the Cooper Institute last week.
Postpone the Convention, and proclaim
a President by the army and legisla-
ture, and other official bodies! This is
the old programme decided upon at
headquarters in 1862, but partly aban-
doned in consequence Of the elections
of that year.
gg Our neighbor of the Journal,
speaking of the present Ohio Legis.
lature, says:
"Seldom, perhaps never, has Ohio
seen more worthy, patriotic, and Ca
.pable@body of men constituting her
Legislature than those who have had
the legislative interests of the State in
charge during the past winter"
As Charley Flood used to say,
"Take our hat" after that. No one
of less range of obliquitous thought
could have perpetrated such a thing.
The Legislature should have passed a
resolution of thanks. 1t beats "mis-
cegenation" all hollow.
p9~We again urge the people to
raise all the vegetables they can-any
failure in the crop of corn, either from
the weather or want of hands to work
it, will produce a state of things in
Ohio, before this time next year, such
as we read of in some parts of Europe,
but have never witnessed in this bless
ed land. "War, pestilence and fam
inc" are the three scourges that fol-
low the works of wicked rulers. Ours
are wicked beyond computation, and
growing worse instead Of better.
gss= John McIlroy, of Urichsville,
Tuscarawas county, O., called on us
last week, on his way to Pugets
Sound, Washington Territory, where
he has son residing. Mr.. McIlroy
was o man of considerable property,
all of which he sold, except a lot of
horses, which he takes with him by
the overland route, by way of the
South Pass.
gG% "Major Alex. Hill has been SEN
fenced to degradation from his rank
and Office, his shoulder,straps to be
stripped from his shoulders, in the
presence of his regiment, which hap~
pens to be colored regiment. In ad-
dition to that he is sentenced to con-
finement on the Dry Tortugas for one
year. His offense was an attempted
violence on helpless women. General
Banks approves the sentence, saying
that his conduct was both disgraceful
and criminal; and the country wants
no such man in the service. "
Good for General Banks. A WHITE
Major commanding negroes got into
bad scrape. Such william deserved
the rope on sight.
aag The St. Joseph papers state
that two thousand wagons day cross
the Missouri river at that place on
their way to the gold mines. If they
are moving thus early in such numbers
they will increase to three times that
number by the time the grass is grown.
We have estimated that not less than
20, 900 would leave Ohio this spring
for the mountains and the Pacific coast.
A gentleman just in our Office thinks
it will amount to twice that number.
Heg~ More real estate, farms and
town property, is changing hands in
Ohio than ever before, and at green
back nrices.
