The Democratic state COnven-
tiOn----lts Appointments and
Nominations.


It is with feelings of no ordinary. pleasure
that we spread before our readers this morn
ing the proceedings of the Democratic
State Convention held in this city on yester-
day The attendance was unusually large
for delegate Convention, all the counties
in the State, with but few exceptions, being
represented by full delegations. In point
of ability, intelligence and patriotic whole
soulcd devotion to the best interests of the
country, the Convention held in this city
yesterday would compare favorably with any
body of men ever assembled on like occa-
sion in this or any other states.
There were, as might have been expected
differences in opinion in the Convention
on some minor points, but it is most graft
flying to state that spirit of self-sacriiice
and a disposition to lay all personal prefer
rences on common alter for our country $
good 'pervaded the entire Convention. =
Hence resulted harmony Of action, evinced
10y determination to make the decision OF
the majority the will and the decree OF each
individual member. We trust that the
same feeling will pervadc the masses of the
people who were represented in the Con
vention held in this city yesterday.
The Convention selected as delegates to
represent Ohio at large in the Democratic
National Convention, to be held at Chicago
on the 4th of July next four of the most
able men in our State-IIon VIM. ALLEN,
of Ross county; Judge Allen g. Thurman,
of Franklin; Hon George III. Pendleton, of
Hamilton, and Judge Rufus z. Rannay, OF
Cuyahoga. These gentlemen are all well
known to the Democracy and the people OF
Ohio, who will feel that the interests of the
/ State aud country could not well be entrusted
to more patriotic, safer or more competent
hands
