POLITICAL MOVEMENTS.

0HIo.-The Congressional Convention OF the
Eighteenth (Cleveland) District will be held on
Tuesday next. The contest between the present
incumbent, Spalding, and R. G. Pa.sonss is very
energetic, and the Herald (Spalding) and Leader.
(Parsons) are filed with the discussion OF the
matter. 1t is a singular fact that the competitors
were law partners until MIR. Spa!ding was elected
to Congress, and, of course, held Joint and
amiable possession of the same office. Mr.. Par
sons has had valuable legislative experience,
and is entirely sound upon the questions of the
day. Thaddeus Stevens has written letter to
the Leader, in favor OF the denomination of Mr..
Spalding. George H. Pendleton will pro-
badly run as Democratic candidate for
Congress in the First District. = Seven
Democratic gentlemen declare their Willingness
to succeed Mr.. LIE Blond of the Fifth DISTRICT
There has been some opposition to the re-elec-
ton of Gen. Garfield in the Nineteenth District;
but the Hon. Darius Caldwell having withdrawn,
the field is left clear for Mr.. Garfield. -General
George w. Morgan, eX-Democratic candidate for
the GovernorshIp, is the nominee for Congress
from the Thirteenth District now represented
by Columbus Delano.-At the Copperhead State
Convention on the 28th ult., Vallandigham was
the hero of the occasion, and as the N. T. Tribune
has before noted, congratulated his political
associates that Andrew Johnson was with them.
Vallaudigham offered to stump the State, but
the managers rather thought that his efforts in
that line had not been sufficiently effective here
tofore to make a repetition desirable.
INpIANA.-The name of Schuyler ColfaX is being
urged for the successorship to the seat of Sena-
tor Henry S. Lane. At the Democratic Con-
gressional Convention at Indianapolis, on the
2Sth, the Hon NJ. @. Kerr was renominated.

in. The Democrats and johnson men of Indian
apolis have coalesced in county ticket. Two

vention will be held on the 22d OF August, at

unless to provoke trouble where there Is not
the slightest foundation for his vague charge,

able to discover. The Clark sburg telegraph
