THE DEMOCRATIC NATION.
AL CONVENTION.

At a recent meeting of the Democratic
National Executive Committee it was de-
eided to postpone the National Conven-
tion from the time originally fixed, the
4th of July, to
August Goth, 1854.
Every body contemplating attending will
now have suf6dient time to get ready,
and we hope that the backbone of Ohio
will send up q huge delegation. Accom-
modations are being provided for an i'm.
mense Convention. A building is being
erected for the meeting of the Conven-
ton which will hold fifteen thousand per
sons.
We are very well pleased that the post
ponement has Been made. 1t will, we
think, now give people time to decide
whether they want this desolating and in.
human war to, go on or whether it were
not best to stop it, restore peace and save
ourselves, our oountrymen and our lib,
critics.

THE WAR NEWS.

The only-war news of importance dur
ing the last week is of a severe engage
ment between portions of Grants and
Lees armies. Lees forces made the at
tack and succeeded in fanking one divis-
ion of the 5th corps. Our loss is stated
ut 1000 prisoners and 1900 killed and
wounded. Grants army appears to be
gathering in still closer upon Richmond
and Petersburg, every day or two taking
and occupying lev positions, closer to the
rebel works.
Nothing of Importance from Sherman's
army. 1t appears to be at a stand still.

Why not arrest the cuss for treason or
expel him for disloyalty? The Admins

Resoloed, By the Senate and House of

of blood and treasure has NO parallel in

spread rapine and diabolical cruelties have

ResohUed, That if the people Of Amer

Constitution, and avert from themselves
and their posterity the slavery of a mill
tary despotism, of a public debt, the in
terest upon which all the avails of their

Thus it will be seen that our State,
county and local taxation in Ohio is near
ly.THIRTY MILLIONS, against a taxa
ton last year, as reported by the Auditor
of State. of S1I,859,473 60.
In addition to this a militia commu-
tation fee of FOUR DOLLARS is demanded
from ~able-bodied men, Who did not see

The taxes of the people of the State of
Ohio-to be paid in December-wiIl be
double what they lave ever been before,
while the grand duplicate will show less

But these are taxing times. In add.
ton to the large sums extracted from the
people by paying the Draft Communication

expects Ohio to pay about FIFTEEN

the enormous sum of FORTY-FIyE

what is the prospect for its %diminution?

are allowed full sway, they'll ruin every

The National debt of the country is es-
timated at $4,000, o00, 000-probably
more now-but Ohio's share of all this is
but one tenth. The ent re real and chat
tel property of Ohio is estimated at $780,

The $500 Communication Clause.
An effort has been made to repeal this
clause of the draft bill so that every man
hereafter drafted will be obliged either to
go or furnish a substitute. A resolution
to repeal it vas voted down in the House

raised again, and latest reports aver that
it will be repealed. So be putting your
