Ohio Democratic Convention.

CINCINNATI, Jan. THE Democrats
assemble in convention at Columbus,
Ohio, tomorrow, to nominate a Gov
ernor and other State officers. All the
counties of the State will be represented
by full delegations. Among the ar
rivals tonight are nearly all the prin-
cipal leaders of the party, including
Ranney, Jewett, Pendleton, Vallandig-
ham, McCook, Key and Reemslin. The
resolutions to be voted on tomorrow,
strongly adhere 10 the principles here
tofore advocated by the party: that
the Federal Government is a Govern
ment of limited powers; that it possess
es no powers but such as are expressly
delegated to il in the Federal COnStitu-
ton; that all other powers arereserved
to the States; that the Federal Govern
ment is untitled to legislate for or adj
minister the local concerns of the
States. The resolutions oppose high
protective tariff, and recommend econ
omy in conducting the affairs of the
country; that the States lately in rebel
lion are States in the Union, and have
been recognized as such by every
Department of the Government !;
and that they stand on an equal foot
ing with their sister States. The reso-
lutions strongly oppose negro suffrage,
believing that it would be productive
of evil to both whites and black, and
tend to produce disastrous conflict OF
races. They also recommend a demo-
cratic convention of delegates from all
the States, and that the State Central
Committee be authorized to confer with
other proper committees in fixing a
time and place.
