Ohio State Convention.

The republicans of Ohio met ,!n Blate convention r.t Columbus on the 21st inst. and nominated the following excellent ticket: Governor, Gen’l C. F. Noves. Lieut. Governor, Jacob Wilier. Supreme Jixlge, Wm. 11. Wist. State Treasurer, I. R. Welsh Auditor StnU*, Junies Williams. Attorney General, F. B. Pon<l. School Commissioner, T. W. Harvey. Clerk of Supreme Court, C'apt. R. Fox. Member of the Bfonnl of I’nblio Works, S. R. Hosptcr. The resolutions are brief, pointed and make no uuoertnin sound. The second, intended j»eihaps to meet the “new departists” of that State, reads: “We not. only recognize the 13th, 14th and 15th Amende puts to the Constitution of the United States as accomplished facts, but also, ajust, wise and vahd artich s of organic law. to be r.eslously defended and enforced ns parts of the Constitution, now, henceforth and forever.” That is the true position of the republican party, not only in Cl■’<>, but throughout the Union. The democratic party north in its “new departure” professes to endorse these amendments, but nt the s.-.me lime It proclaims that it only d< ri> so as a matter of policy, or in other words, to secure micco.-.a tn 1 72 - Give that parly success and the Jeff. Davis'wiug that ;>'r ndy repudiate* the “new departure” will take control »f the-organization r.s m dayspart. It is well known that tlu»t wiug of the pr.rty holds that the foregoing atneiMnicnts are null and void, and co will the whole party should it ever obtain control of the several departments c,f government. It is difficult to tec the good sense of trusting a party that, by armed treason or encouragement of treason, did ail it could for five long years to break down and deetroy the government, and which, if it had the power, would now undo all that bad been accomplished by the suppression of the rebellion. The mission of the republican party will not be accompli; bed raittl these amendments are “zealously defended and enforced ss parts of the Constitution, now, henceforth and forever,” by all parties, scuth as will aS north, and by everybody, Including Dau. Vcrboes, Frank Blair and Jeff. Davis.
