DEMOCRATIC CONVERTS.

of the Democracy of Ohio by the curt ant
rather confused synopsis of the Associated
Press, we should say the Ohio party ha
profited by the convictions of reason ant
have concluded to execute Republican
principles better than the Republican
party can do.
l. The principles of the fathers of tn
republic, Of Thomas Jefferson, the advo
cate of emancipation, education and uni
versa, suffrage; Of George Washington
who suppressed the Pennsylvania insur
rection and maintained the integrity o
the Union.
2. Opposition to aggressions either upol
functions of coordinate powers Of gov
eminent. as General Jackson is said tc
have done with respect to the Treasury
| Department: the exercise Of functions
reserved to the people, by whom is no.
said, possibly by the people themselves.
3. ''Pro ;eciion of all citizens, regardless
Of anything" Thi, lays entirely over the
Republican guarantee.
4. One term, when an incumbent can
not get another. as i'll the case OF u. Van
Buren,. Democrat. and Mr.. Tyler. Demo-
crat. Hall price salary.
5. "No Grants. thus cutting of not only
President Grant but all who may bear his
name. mo money. credit or bonds to
schemes" and things. No currency but
legal te nder. no secular schools. no union
Of Church and State. no continued tyr
ranny and continued cruelty to the South
ern States. mo nothing, November"
This bein; totally new layout it seems
strange that the same officers should
have been reelected to administer it. The
abolition of national banks and substitU-
ton of legal tenders is certainly great
advance upon the doctrines of Messrs.
Eallandigham and pendieton a few years
since. The rest oration of local State
banks under State regulations, and the
payment Of half revenue duties in legal
tenders com. rehend too much to be
condensed n telegram or discussed
in column. Governor Allen having
denomination. it may become
a curious subject to see what he
means by continued tyranny and cru
city to the Southern States" A large
part Of our people claimed the govern
lnent over Louisiana was so tyrannical and |
cruel as to justify a resort to arms. and |
their orators and organs insisted that in
50 doing they had but exercised the same |
rights with their American ancestors. |
What did his Exce!lency Governor Allen
10 on the occasion: Did he sympathize
with Messrs. Penn and Ogden: Did he
address the Democracy OF Louisiana. and
say:
Well done. heroic men: you have vini:-
.ated your honor from the shack:t of bond
ige! You have liberated yourselves from
A cruel oppression: Rely upon your Demo.
ratio friends of Ohio. They are with you.
and if you stand firm they VIII form upon
and defend you.
