brea,hes the true spirit, aud will be fully
approved by every true Democrat 10 South
ern Ohio. The idea of nominating any
man this fall, for any Office, who refused
to support the Democratic ticket two years
ago, in the trying but magnificent and
really successful struggle for liberty and
free speech in that memorable campaign,
is simply au insult to the Democracy of
the State. But more than this, let us have
none but live, fearless, working Demo.
era,s.; and further still, let us have a.
sound PEACE and STATE RieHrs Plat
form, aud then see to il that all our candi-
dates come up and stand squarely on it.
1t must not be ''kcked from under" this
time. II party men are hereafter to be
bound to support nominees, nominees
must support platforms, "a word to the
wise" v.' .
Mr.. Vallandigham. we repeat, will not
be a candidate but such men as Pendle-
ton, Allen, &c, will receive the cordial
support, for nomination, of tie Democra-
cy here.
} As to the time Of holding the State
Convention, our own judgment is that it
had better be postponed to rather late
day But whenever held. look out for a
big and enthusiastic delegation from "The
Old Third" who, after the Convention,
will cordially support any nominee who
has himself supported the previons plat

THE STATE CONVENTION, CANDIDATES, Erc.
The Democratic press Of Ohio is pretty
unanimous for an early convention and of a
vigorous campaign The Democracy feel
that there is no hope for the country, no SAL
walton for constitutional liberty, except
through the success Of or tme-honored par
| ty and that success eau only be obtained by
the most persevering industry.
Among the candidates prominently named
| for Governor are c. L. Vallandigham, Will
liam Allen, George Ii. Pendleton, George w.
Morgan and Rufus P, Ranney. They are all
excellent men, and we can cheerfuly support
any Of them after nominated
!. We are tied to no man for nomination for
| Governor but we want men nominated by
the State Convention for all the offices who
are reliable and unialtering Democrats. We
| hope to see men placed upon the ticket who
have earned reputation in the Democratic
party by working for its success. We de-.
| aire to support men because they are Demo
A Gratis, and the more Democracy there is in
them the greater the triumph in the event of
our success, Men who have periled their
lives and their liberty in talking, writing and
working for the,Democratic party during the
last four eventtul years are surely entitled to
more consideration at our hands than those
who have been silent spectators In the terrible
struggle between Democracy and Despotism
Although the nomination of Vallandigham
and 'Pugh, two years ago, resulted in defeat
at the election, the boldness and vigor with
| which the campaign was conducted did more
for the Democratic party than anything that
has transpired for the last four years. II was
the grandest and most successful effort in be
half the liberty and rights OF white men that
has been made since the witherng blight oi
Abolition dominion has fallen upon the coun
try.
1t is all we'll enough to say OF a candidate
"he is good man" but with how much
more zeal Democrats will work for one who
has the reputation of being live, working
Democrat, whose utmost labors are always de
voted to the success OF the party, and who has
by word and deed, in the face of mob violence
and with the terrofs Of bastiles held up before
him, encouraged his friends and neighbors to
stand steadlast 10 the faith wherewth thii
people are made free.
