1t is with feeling OF no ordinary
pleasure that we spread before our
readers this morning the proceedings
Of the Democratic State Convention
held in this city of Yesterday. Tho
attendance was unusually large for
delegate Convention, al the counties
in the State, with but few exceptions,
being represented by full delegations.
In point Of ability, intelligence and
patriotic whole souled devotion to tho
best interests of the country, the Con.
venton held in this city yesterday
would compare favorably with any
body Of men ever assembled on like
occasion in this or any other State.
There were, as might have been OK
pected difference in opinion in tho
Convention of some minor points, but
it is most gratifying TO state that
spirit Of self-sacrifse and a disposition
to lay all personal preference on
common altar for our coultry's gool
pervaded the entire Convention.-
Hence resulted harmony OF action,
eyinced by determination to make
the decision Of the majority the will
and the decree of each individual
member. We trust that the same feel
ing will pervade the masses of the pso.
pie who were represented in The Con,
yention held in this city yesterday.
The Convention selected rs del.,
gates to represent Ohio at large in tho
Democratic National Convention, to
be held at Chicago on the 4th Of July
next, four Of the ablest men in our
Statc--Hon. VIM. Allen, of Ross coun,
ty, Judge Allen G. Thurman, OF
Franklin, Hon. George II. Pendleton,
Of Hamilton, and Judge Rufus p. Ban.
ney, of Cuyahoga. These gentlemen
are all well known to the Democracy
and the people of Ohio, who will feel
that the interests Of our States and
country could not well be entrusted to
more patriotic, safer or more compe,>
ent hands.
For Senatorial electors, or Presiden-
tial electors for the State at large, the
Convention was also fortunate in its
selections. Judge L. w. BARLEY, OF
Richland, and Hon. Geo. E. Pugh, of
Hamilton, are the candidates nomina.
for the discharge of this important
trust. No words need BE- wasted in
commendation Of these nominations, as
the candidates are well known to, and
appreciated by the people Of our,
State.
For the various State officers to DO
filled at the next State election, in o..
tober, the Convention nominated the
following candidates: For Secretary
of State, VIM. W. Armstrong, of Sen.
eca; For Judges of the Supreme
Court, Judge Philadelph Van Trump,
of Fairfield, Judge Machias Whiteley,

field, Of Holmes; For Comptroller Of
the Treasury, w. S. V. Prentiss, Of

A. S. Ramsey, Of Hardin; and for
members of the Board of Public
Works, W.. Larwill, of Ashland, for
the long term, and Charles Boesel, Of
Auglaize, for the short term.
The candidates on this State ticket
are oil men of ability, integrity and
capacity. They are just the men s,dt,
ed for the respective Offices for, which
they have beens severally nominated.
Their patriotism and entire devotion
to the Constitution, the Union and to
the principles of free and just COWS
ernment, are undoubted. We com
mend them to the hearty and undiyid-
ed support of the Democracy and the
people of our State.
The resolutions adopted by the
Convention breathe the true spirit Of
patriotism and express sentiments to
which, not only every Democrat, but
every honest man, who loves his coun-
try and it's free institutions, and de-
sires their preservation, will rejoice 70
