The ticket throughout is an admirable
one. In the nomination of Hon. HuaH J.
JEwETT and Gen. ED. BALL for Represen-
tatives, the Convention selected gentlemen
of the highest order of talent, accomplished
Legislators and excellent men In every re-
spect. This is another Of the signs which
go to show that the Democracy are firm in
their belief of carrying the Legislature,
and as'welf as of the necessity, when: this
Is done, of having that majority consist OF
the ablest men in the State, so as, by wise
legislation, to bring Ohio back to her once
proud position.gNA 0NAEz NO aFkTJ
"a Either Of the gentlemen named would do
credit to the highest position in the State,
and we congratulate the Muskingum De-
mocracy on the example they. have given
to their sister counties selecting the right
men for the right place.
On motion, the committee on Resolutions
reported the following, which were unani-
mously adopted:
| lsr. Resolued, That we, the Democracy
i &c b, ~, =;
sembled, do fully approve and indorse the
\ platform of the Democratic State Conyen-
| tion of Ohio of January 8, 1857. SiiaIlAiiE'
i I'd. That we regard the present Congress
as disloyal to the Constitution and hostile
to liberty. I6tKJ2AiGdbS IJiaAijG
Sd. That we disapprove the government
Of any State by military power, and we
denounce such government as unconstitu-
tional and in all respects evil.
4th. That political power cannot be ex-
ercised in harmony by two distinct races
that we are opposed to the extension of the
right of suffrage to the, negro, the Indian
aud the Chinese; that we denounce and op-
pose the proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution of the State, and do most heartily
approve of the following views of Stephen
A. Douglas, namely:
Il hold that. this Government was made
on the white basis, by! white men, for the
benefit of white men and their posterity
forever, and should be administered by
white men, and none Others. do not be-
lieve that the Almighty made the negro
capable of self-government."
9th. That we also fully indorse and ap-
prove the following-views OF Abraham
Lincoln, expressed by him at Charleston,
Illinois, September 1S, 1858, viz:
| while was in the hotel to-day, an ell
derly gentleman called upon me to know
If was really in favor of producing per-
feet equality between the negroes and the
white people, will say, then, that l aui
not, nor ever have been in favorot making
voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualify
ing them TO hold office, nor to intermarry
with white people; and 1 will say in addi-
ton to this, that there is physical differ
ence between the black and white races
which believe will forever prohibit the
two races from ever living on terms of So
cial and political equality. And inasmuch
as they cannot so live, while they do re-
main together there must be the position
of superior and inferior. and !, as much as
any other man, am in favor of having the
superior position assigned to the white
race"
