vallandisham's Last Appearance in Pol
tiles.
It was at this convention, held at Columbus
in June, that CIementL- v~allandigham made
his last appearances in politics. He was a
member of the Committee on Resolutions.
Among the members of that commit
tee were Vallandigham, Chiffon A. White,
w. w. Armstrong, General George W. Nor
gan, Frank II. Hurd and Daniel S. Uhl. The
committee was in session for many hours, and
the main question before it was whether the
Democrats of OHIO should approve the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the
constitution. The majority of the committee
reported in favor of acceptance Frank Hurd
and Uhl, OF Holmes, made q minority re-
port that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments having been made parts
of the Federal Constitution by violence
and fraud were revolutionary and void"
Upon the question of striking out
the resolution of the majority accepting the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments a
vote by counties was demanded. For strik-
ing out 109 delegates voted yea and 276 dele
gates voted nay. Mr.. Hurd finally withdrew
his report.
Frank Mckinney was temporary Chairman
of this convention, and George Il. Pendleton
was the permanent President.
The principal candidates for Governor we're

Cook. of jefferson, and Durbin Ward. of War

General Rosecrans declined the nomination
in a letter that was Tar from satisfactory to
the Democrats who had conferred upon
him the honor Of selecting him to carry the
standard of the Democratic party of his
native State. The State Committee met and
rendered the nomination to Judge Ranney,
but he having once had the honor Of being
the candidate thought some one else ought to
have o chance, and declined. The nomina-
was given to Hon. George H. Pendleton
against his wishes, but he accepted it, and
was defeated by Hayes.

A Campaign Not Marked by Any OF the
Ordinary Excitements.
The State Convention FOR 1862 was held at
Columbus, on the 4th OF July, at Naughton's
Hall, which was as sultry and uncomfortable
a room as any q State Convention was ever
held in. The permanent presiding onicer of
the Convention was Samuel Medary, Ex-
Governor of the Territories Of Minnesota and
Kansas, a for many years the editor OF the
Ohio Statesman and The Crisis, aipaper which
for two or three years had o very large circu-
lation. Governor Medsry disolaimed any
lack of loyalty ON the part of the Democratic
party, and in his trenchant and incisive way
deridsd the Republicans, who claimed to have
all the sloyaItyn in the country. BE alluded
TO the fact that thousands of Democrats who
had voted for Douglas were in the armyi that
he himself mad Q Democratic son-in-law in
the Held.
Judge Allen q. Thurman and Rufus p. RIM

Allen G. Thurman, of franklin, was nom-
mated for Governor by acclamation. Judge
Thurman was escorted to the convention,
and made a speech of acceptance which was
received with many rounds of applause. c.

mittee on Resolutions.
Judge Thurman made a brilliant canvass OF
the State, and carried forty-two out of eighty
eight counties. He was beaten 1888 votes.

The Nomination of General Rosscrans,

The State Convention met at Columbus on
the 7th of July. The Hon. John +. Follett, of
Cincinnati, acted as temporary Chairman,
and the Hon. Philadeiph Van Trump, Of Fair
field, was the permanent Chairman, deliver
ing when he assumed the duty . long and
able speech.
There were several gentlemen named in
connection with the nomination for Gov
ernor. although there was no really active
canvass for the honor. Judge Ranney's name
was presented. but not by any volition of his
own. r. P. L. Baber. or eAlphabet Baber," as
he was known in Columbus, worked up q
boom for General Rosecrans, which became
of some proportions in the end, because the
freak seemed to take the possession of the
minds of some thatit was necessary to put up
a soldier against General Hayes.
There were several candidates, and General
Rosecrans was declared duly nominated, and
q COMMITTEES appointed to notify him of his
nomination. The following gentlemen were
nominated on the ticket. Lieutenant-Gov-

constitution, to the people, wss the accepted
Democratic doctrine-,he doctrine that had
been held and established for years. He then
quoted from the speeches of Howell Cobb,
Vice President Breckinridge, James L.
Orr and Alexander H. Stephens to
show that they and every eminent
Southern man had held the same opinion on
the doctrine of popular sovereignty. Mr..
Payne made q great reputation for his able
speech and management in behalf of the NIL
nority.
After o long discussion on the respective
merits of the two reports, on motion of Mr..
Bigler, of Pennsylvania. they were recon-
mitted to the Platform Committee.
SIXTH DAY OF THE CONVENTION.
On the evening of the sixth day OF the con-
~vention Mr.. Avery. of North Carolina, and Mr..
Samuels, OF Iowa, from the majority and mi
norfty of the committee, made opposite and
conflicting reports. On this question the
committee divided, the fifteen members from
the siaveholding States and the members
from California and Oregon voting for the
majority report, all the members OF the COM
mittee from the free States east of the Rocky
Mountains voting no.
Both reports, or all other than the slavery
question, were substantially the same.
Avery's last report was: "Resolved, first,
that the Government of Territory organized
by an act of Congress is provincial and tenn
porary, and during its existence all citizens
OF the United States have an equal right to
settle with their property in that Territory,
without their rights being destroyed or im-
paired by Congressional or Territorial legisla-
ton; second, that the General Government
should protect when necessary the rights OF
persons and property in the Territories. and
wherever else its constitutional authority ex-
tends; third, that States should be admitted
into the Federal Union whether their con
stitution prohibits or recognizes the institu-
ton of slavery Mr.. Samuels' minority re-
port, after reafirming the Cincinnati plat
form, proceeded: sInasmuch as differences OF
| opinion exist in the Democratic party as to
the nature and extent of the powers and
duties of Congress under the constitution,
over the Institution of slavery in the Terri
tories, Resolved, That the Democratic party
| will abide by the decisions OF
THE SUPREME COURT oE THE UNITED TATEs
| Upon questions of constitutional law" a
vote was taken in the convention, and thu
minority report was adopted by Q vote OF ls
to l3S.
Bnlloting then commenced, and continued
until the I'd of May, the vote for Douglal
ranging from 1851 to I547a, the remainder o
the votes being cast for Guthrie, Hunter
dickinson, Andrew Johnson. Lane, and
vote in every ballot for Jef Davis, being cas-
by Ben Butler, Of Massachusetts.

A Convention That Clearly Portrayed the
Democratic Position.
Within a few months after the firing On
Fort Sumter, when the civil war had been
inaugurated, the Democracy of Ohio as
sembled in State Convention in Columbus,
on the Sth of August. They had predicted
that the tire-eaters of the South and the
Abolitionists of the North would precipitate
bloodshed. They met under peculiar circum-
stances. and the resolutions of that conven-
ton clearly present the position the Demo-
Gratis then occupied. They were drafted by
Henry B. Payne, who was Chairman OF the
Committee on Resolutions, and among others
contained the following:

The State Convention of 1868 was more of a
mass than u delegate convention. EX-Gov
ernor Medill, of Fairfield. was the President
of the convention. No hall in the city was
large enough to contain the Democrats pres
emit, SO the convention assembled nt the east
front of the State House. The arrest and
banishment from the State of Clement L.
~Vallandlgham had aiamed the Democracy,
and to resent what they declared was
an invasion of their personal rights, an
infringement of the constitution, and a vio-
lation of the right of the citizen TO utter his
sentiments, q large majority of them deter
mined to place in nomination for Governor
the man in exile. It was not wisdom in the
opinion of many. but the moderate men
had no power in that convention. 1t
