COLUMBUS, May 2, 1871.
TO the Republican Voters of Ohio:
Your annual State Convention will be
held at Columbus, on Wednesday. the
21st day of June, 1871, for the NOM
ination of candidates for the folio wing
offices, viz: Governor, Lieu. Governor,

The undersigned Committee recon-
mend that the meetings in the several

eral Sherwood, for Secretary of State,
in 1870, and one additional delegate for
any fraction of two hundred and fifty
votes and upward, in each County.
belmont County will be entitled to
seven delegates.-ED. CHRoNICLE.)
The Committee respectfully suggests
the Importance of full delegation from
each County to the Convention. The
issues to te decided in the present cam
paign are of vital interest to the coun-
| try.
The importance of Thorough local or
ganization cannot he too strongly urged;
nor can this great auxiliary to final sue
cess be too early attenad ito. In this
connection, the Committee would earn
estly recommend that, where County
Committees have not already been se-
lected, in the call for County Conven-
tions, on the 10th of June, notice be
tgivep that the County Central Com
mittees for ths committees for the COM
ing campaign will be selected at the
time.
Ii is important that each delegation
to the State Convention bring with
them correct list of the officers and
members; with post office address, fthe
Committees of their County, and de-
liver the same to this Committee.
Very Respectfully,

The Departed Democracy.

The democratic "new Departure de

sisted in swallowing the constitutions
amendments (de fdcto,) negro suffrag,
and tie war debt. There is nOthin,
else that is new in the protracted plat
form, which is rather too much devOtet
to fine composition for practical demO
cratic use. The doctor of the new de
parture announced that it is going t,
breathe new life into the democratic
JehOshaphat, and to excite a tremend
GUS enthusiasm among the dry bones
This certainly will be laudable in tn,
departed democracy, and rather a re
markable effect for such a platform.
Sometimes children are persuaded t,
take physic by telling them it will
make them better; but we never hear(
of their getting enthusiastic over tn,
talking. The most of this platform il
physic to the democratic party-tht
amendments, negro suffrage and tht
war debt. Yet DIR. Vallandigham tell
them to be very enthusiastic at taking
it. According to his notion, this i.
what the democracy have been mourn
ing for and longing after. Till now
this has been a most qauSeOqs dose tx
them, but now they find it Joyous
This is passing strange. 1t is a sort O
Mark Tapley, coming out jolly under
the most melancholy conditions.
1t now appears that negro suffrage
was requisite to their complete happi
ness. This is truly wonderful change
of heart. And that the adoption of the
debt incurred in putting doWp thedem'
ocratic rebellion, will change their long
to Eapturous joy. This is
very accommodating. fs t-tH
And there is specie payment also
"a couple of years ago the notion of an
unlimited issue of greenbacks was
thought to be most ravishing one to
the western democracy. An army Oi
them went down to New York, verdant
in greenback banners, to escort Young
Greenbacks" into the Presidential
nomination. The leading democratic
journal in the west put out its subscrip-
ton hand bills in the shape of a NAM
moth greenbacls, as big as a window
shutter. ..5
Now, the western democracy are to
suppress all their greenback aspira-
tions, and to become enthusiastic over
the promise of specie payment. This
is being made to dance to shifting
tunes, r.r r.-..
But, as If to sloW that this dry
baptism is not regeneration, they pro.
nounce against the ku-klux bill, but
have nothing to say against the ]1u-
klux. They also pay a tribute to the
character of the republican party, by
the heavy charge that this is not the
true republican party, but is another
party. Probably we shall soon hear
Vallandigham claiming to bea follower
of the sainted republican party, not
this one but the other one. g..

parture dose to Columbus, June l, and
