In point Of ability, intelligence and patri

in this city yesterday would compare IA
vorably with any body. Of men ever assem-
bled on like occasion In this or any 9th,
State.
All There were, as might have been expected
differences in opinion in the Convention o
some minor points, but it ismost gratifyin
to state that a spirit of self-sacrifice an
adisposition TO lay all personal preference
=, on common altar for our country's goo
pervaded the entire Convention. Henc
resulted harmony Of action, evinced by
: determination to make the decision Of tn
majority the will and the decree Of each in
dividual member. We trust that the sam

known to the Democracy and the people OF
Ohio, who win feel that the interests Of our
State and country could not well be en-
trusted to more patriotic, safer or more COM
petent hands.
