20 select its candidates for President and
Vice President OF the United States.
" In common with the Democracy of
other States, our friends in Ohio have a
preference, and that preference we propose
to express. 1t is preference that none
who know the sentiment Of the American
people, who have seen it manifested in
many ways,-in private letters, and in po-
litical convent Jns, will dispute.
Eve rejoice, in the name of the victO-
rious Democracy, who III: lie other day
sent greeting TO the Democracy Of the ma
ton that Ohio was redeemed from the rule
OF fanaticsm, that she had vindcated the
Constitution, and had arrested the bold
career Of the men who had been trampling
on the rights and liberties Of the people
In their name, we this dav seize upon the
honor of presenting the claims of Ohio's
poblest son, Hon. George IL. Pendlc:On, to
the Democracy of the country, as Ohio
enc ce for the high office of President Of
the United States. lie is not only Ohio S
choice, but he is the favorite of Kentucky,
who will send full delegation for him to
the national convention. Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota will not be be-
hind Ohio and kcntucy in their devotion
to Ohios noble and trusted statesman
lie IS, by all odds, this day, the strongest
candidate in the northwest and, We have
reason to believe, in the United States
lie possesses in a great degree the Demo

to Stephen A. Douglas, and on him has
fallen III the northwest the mantle of that
eminent man. \ gentleman, a scholar,
and a statesman, whose history and char
actcr are known to the country, and are
everywhere recognized and respected by
all parties, in the prime OF life, with u
mind Injured to study, with the habits of a
profound thinker, the experience of tried
legislator, emnently sound in his judg-
ment, eloquent in the expression of his
thoughts, candid in his political views,
with an integrity that was never questioned
he is that model of President which
we had in the early days of the Republic
With him as our candidate, standing
upon the platform of the Constitution, equal
Justice to all sections of our common cGun-
try, with equality to all, especial privileges
to none. the same currency for bondhold-
ers that the people arc compelled to receive,
the prompt payment of the national debt as
it falls due in the legal tender of the ma
ton, the immediate restoration Of the
Southern States to the Union, with their
full share of representatives in both branch
es of the Government, as guaranteed hy
the Constitution, and universal amnesty
for all political offences, with such plat
form, and Geo. H. Pendleton as its expo
nent, we will sweep Ohio by $4,000 ma
jority, and also the country. as we did
with Franklin Pierce in 1852, when the
conqucrcr of Mexico Gen Scott, was the
