H 2aaX 4i lot sCl tXii 0 The Ohio Democratic Convention. Reponse of the Press t th Nomination of General Morgan. The nomination of General Moroan, as the candidate of the exeat Democratic party of - ; .. o Ohio, for the office of Governor, has met with moat hearty reapone from the Democratic reas, not only of this State, but of the whole . . t - country. Ilia nomination is every wuere regarded as a harbinger of success, and has irr-epireJ t"je people with confidence that the black reign of Abolitiooiem is drawing rapidly to a close. Had we room it would afford b great pleas ure to publish in the colaass ef the Banner the many good things that are said of General Morgan by the Democratic press of the country. We shall, however, make a few brief ex tracts, in order that our readers may see the spirit in which his nomination has been received. : ' The Norwalk rperuNnfaays : The ticket nominated by the Convention, at the bead of which stands Gen. George W. Morgan, of lit. Vernon, is one of the beet ever presented for the suffrages of the people of the State, of Ohio. There is not a man on the ticket who has not been tried and found "faithful, honest and capable' ; . ':. Tlie Wayne County Democrat says: General George W. Morgan, candidate for Governor, is in truth the eminent soldier, the skillful diplomatist, and the profound statesman one opthe beet men in Ohio. Let General Morgan's speech before the Convention, together with the platform be read by every voter in the land. The Ilolmes County Farmer says : With this strong ticket and excellent platform, and a united and harmonious party, it is strange in leed, if we do not succeed, by a very large myority, over a party covered with corruption and destitute of nrincinle a nartt attemn- xinjr to stand upon a platform its candidates dare not interpret, and the people cannot un derstand to mean anything. The Ottawa County News 6ays : The ticket nominated js an excellent one from beginning to end. The head of the ticket, General Geo. W. Morgan, is a brave soldier, an accomplish ed scholar, a high-toned gentlemen, and a Democrat who has always stood by the organ- ration. He has had much experience in po litical affairs, both in the State and na tion; the latter of whom he has represented most creditably abroad, aa ita Minister to for eign courta, . lie aer?d wuh credit' and.' diB-' tinction in the Mexican aa well as the late nn fortunate civil war. There is not a blemish or flaw upon his private character, nor was his bonor or purity ever qnestioneU.' " The Auglaize County Democrat says ; Is o more filing man in all the State, conld be found to discharge the duties of Chief Magistrate, than General Morgan. His fine classical education, his proverbial honesty of purpose in all his relations of life, h is high order of talents, his wide, varied and successful ex peri; ence ic public attain, civil and military, em inently make him what we state. For many years we have enjoyed a personal acquaintance with him ; and if it was necessary, in addition to bis wide public reputation, to say more of his fitness, it were simply just for us to say, bia good qualities in public by ho means over shadow his private virtues. His amiability kindness and sterling integrity in private life will be rca lily conceded by his political op ponents. ; - The Brown County News says of . General Morgan : He is opposed to Negro Suffrage in Ohio or elsewhere, and agrees cordially with the soldiers that their labors and toils and life-struggles should not be merely for the en franchisement of the negro, nor to degrade the white race .to the level of the negro. H e is eminently the White Juan's candidate, and as such he should receive the vote of every elec tor who is in favor of perpetnatine a white man's Government and opposed to turning it into a mongrel Government, controlled by mongrels to the exclusion of the pore Anglo-6akon race. Let every white man, every white man's friend, rally for Morgan and Constitutional liberty.- The Madison County Democrat says : He (Morgan) wants the people to understand his position, and does not like his opponent wish to deceive them in regard to his sentiments.. When asked if he was in favor of amending the Constitution of Ohio so as to allow neeroes to vote, Gen. Cox talks incoherently about "waifs and strays Gen. Morgan, on the contrary, says in distinct terms that be "is opposed to conferring the right of suffrage on negroes in Ohio, or in the Sooth, now or at any future time, ander any circumstances." This is the kind of man the people want for Governor of Ohio. Gen. Cox and his " negro dependency" may suit the fanatics of New England, bnt the honest people of the Buckeye State State prefer a man who cornea oat boldly and advocates white men's rights and white men's principles. - v - ' The Guernsey Jefincmian says : The nominees are all first class men.

He has had much experience in political f' fairs, both in the State and nation, the latter of which he has represented most creditably abroad, as its rministers to foreign courts. There is not a blemish or flaw upon 'his private character. His honor and parity were never questioned. He would make a Governor of whom Ohio might be proud, whose ability and dignity would be a most delightful contrast to some who have lately Veld that position. . ' ' ' . v..; The Fremont Stessenger says : We cannot but feel proud of the position of General Morgan in contrast with that of Cox upon the negro suffrage question. , He tells us, without equivocation or proviso, that he is opposed to the measure that he is a friend to the white roan. Who, amongthe locg array of preten-l ded intelligent Republicans, dare publicly pro claim now or wnere their candidate stands upd on that question. We know where he stands, but his friends dare not say yea or nay. Their mouths are sealed and they dare not lisp a reply. The candidate of the Democracy comes before the .people the exponent of a 'platform of principles, openly, plainly and boldly announced. The contest is between honesty and deception. . So much for the press or our own State. We shall now make, a few extracts from some of the leading Democratic papers elsewhere. The Washington (Pa ) Examiner, published in the town where General Morgan was born, says : The numerous friends of Gen. George W. JVlorjran. who read the Jcaminer, will ne re joiced to bear that he has been chosen as the standard bearer of the callant Democracy of Ohio, in the coming Gubernatorial contest. No better selection could have been made. An amiable gentleman, a pure statesman, and an honest man, he is eminently qualified for the honor which his friends are anxious to confer wpon him. Gen Morgan is a native of our county,' and is known and honored . by our people. Washington county walehee with pride the honorable career of her noble son, and the warm wishes of her people attend him. We sincerely , desire -his success both from political and personal considerations. . The Chicago Times, the leading Democratic paper of the North West, says : General Morgan, the Gubernatorial nominee, has proved bis courage and patriotism as he has states manship. He has fought for the Union on the field as well a' pleaded for it on the hus tings. He is now the flag-bearer of the men who would restore it speedily, perfectly, and enduringly. He is for it as a white man's Government. He . holds, as Dousias held, for white men. to he "administered by white men forever. . This is the grand plank of bis platform. Upon it we have high hopes tli at he will carry the Ohio election triumphantly. The Fort Wayne Times, and Sentinel, the leading. Democratic paper in Indiana, says :- The Democrat State Convention of Ohio, which assemble! in Columbus on Thursday, nominated unanimously General George W. Morgan as their candidate for Governor. The nomination is the beet that could have been made the very one that, if left to our determination, we should ourselves have made. Jf the, vice royalty of Ohio can be abolished, apd the State restored to her old orbit in the Union, with her recovered dignity and rights, the de" sideration can surely be accomplished under such an earnest and able democratic cnampi- on as Geo. W. Morgan. It was our intention to have been a self-constituted delegate from the Gibralter of Indiana Democracy to the Ohio Convention but finally concluded to postpone our visit until Gen. Morgan's inaug uration in January next. Hr. Chase's Friends. Mr.Cbase s friends seem to be getting into trouble allovefthe country. A. P. Stone, the Collector of Internal Revenue at Columbus, who was a defaulter to the amount of $141,000 and who committed suicide, was one of the oenator s proteges, in. iNew xoric there is another, who is thus alludes! to by the New York World: "The Patriot's Retribctiox. And here may Bee that the voice of speculation in the national disgrace is working out its own terrible retribution. "The father of the latest defaulter is Morris Ketchurn, who is generally regarded as the New York adviser of Secretary Chnse, the attributed father of the greenbacks, but their real progenitor was the New York capitalist. His policy was a mistake, we may grant, and not a private design, but its issue is not less personal and appalingj his old-established house is one of the first to be crushed; his son amo.ig the foremost to example the paper contagion. Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. - - "The Ketchoms, father and son, were prominent members of the Loyal League, an organization which branded as malcontents and traitors all who raised a voice against the wastefulness of the executive and the prodigality of the-national treasury. - The greenbacks they multiplied have suffocated them." The New York Custom-house, under Mr. Barry, Chase's Collector, turned out a whole host of defaolters and swindlers. A friend of Mr. Chase said to us the other day that 1 the Secretary seemed to hare the misfortune to make every rascal ia the Union bis friend and and then allow himself to be imposed upon by them. - Retail merchants in New York are doing a brisk buiness in refurnishing dwelling houses in the Southern States.

On Tharsday of last week some, of the settlers on Brule Creek, in the Southern part -of Dacota Territory, about 15 miles of this - place, were engaged in making hay on Big Sioux bottom, opposite Brule creek settlement, when they were attacked abont 4 o'clock P. M by a small band of Indians, whoerept upon : them stealthily and. firing upon the forty, without being bbaerved, killed a Mr.. E. B."Xarimore almost instantly. Mr. T..CL, Watson received a severe wound from an arrow passing through hu left shoulder; a Mr. Fletcher also received a severe flesh wound in his arm, and "his wife received a slight wound from an arrow. , Mrs. Fletcher. at the time of thv attack, was up on a loaa ot hav : she fousnt-toe-savaees with a pitch-fork until "she fouoa ' that ; resistance was fruitless, when she spoke in Indian and told her assailants to take the horses and let her alone which they readily -did, taking four horses with them. Early ttext mornieg a par ty of the settlers started in pursuit ; taking the trail of the savages they . crossed Big : Sioux River, on the Iowa side, tfretrcs a Northerly direction up the River. - Their stock of provisions failing them, they, were compelled to abandon their pursuit without overhauling the villains, though indications clearly showed that they were .pursuing them closely. News has recently been received at the. military headquarters in this-place of an 'attack by the Indians on Fort Rice in D. T. Vhilst Gen. Sully and his command were laying at Fort Rice, during the latter part of July, some 2,000 or 3,000 Indians came to see him for the purpose, as they said, to have a friendly talk. They claimed to be good Indians, 44 Washtado." The Gen. believing their professions of friendship to be sincere, ordered a large amount- of hard tack and meat distributed among them, as they appeared to be in a starving" condition. Here I think the Gen. didwrong, he - should have given them hard tack in the shape rof bullets. . Sully then took up his line of march with his command for Devil's Lake, where he expected to encounter" a band of hostile Indians, leaving the supposed friendly Indians at Fort Rice. As soon aa the Gen. was out o' reach, early one morning, before breakfast, the war-whoop was hear J-from the hill tops around the Fort and at the sarno time the "washtado' very 'good) Indiana were" in in vast numbers On all sides, except next to the river, -ma- was garrioneU bT"xv.."Jtt&iliZm the Iowa 6th, membenig a all about 300. The ien Were rat once' got out iu arras and were soon in the midst of a fight. The "reds" were driven back behind the hills ;- bnt soon renewed the attack, manifesting no disposition to retire. Again they' made a fierce attack, but were repulsed ; although theyout-numbered our troops ten to one. The troops were then stationed on the hill tops near the Fort, and with two howitzers shelled the timber in the surrounding ravenes, driving the enemy farther back. This . kind of shot is very effectual in fighting Indians they have a peculiar horror for shells. "Me do like rotten shot," say they j rotten shot lsechado" (very bad). About noon the troops were withdrawn to the Fort, when soon after the "reds" again made a furious and determined assault, when our forces met them on an open plain, with no means of concealment ; a hand to band con-. Dipt then ensued, in which sabers and other close quarter arms were freely used on both sides. The "long torn' was speedily wheeled out-side of the Fort, which was : not a very pleasant sight to the "reds' and when it spoke in thundering tones they speedily decamped. The loss on our side was two killed and two seriously wounded; with several horses, which the Indians succeeded in setting on. uuite a number of Indiana were killed and wounded ; the number could not be ascertained, as all who fell were immediately thrown upon horses and hurried to the rear. This was distinct ly seen by many persons, v. The Indians exhibited remarkable skill in horsemanship, making the most rapid and continued evolutions, while discharging their arrows,- and receiving the fire of our troops. V y . . Capt. Moreland of the Iowa 6th, is said to to have fought with remaikable coolness and bravery, in fact, all, both officers and soldiers, are said to have fought with much coolness and bravery. ' The above facts I ,have obtained from ah officer who witnessed the engagement. Some of onr Eastern friends think that there is poetry and romance in aTronteer or 'Indian life. ' Poets, writers bf fixion and historians, who never saw an Indian, may sing of their beauty and paint an elaborated and glowing picture of the Indian, of his genius, of his nobleness of character &c.; but as Jor me I have seen enough of lo ! the poor Indian," after nine long years spent upon the, frontier, on the borders of civilizatiooT.and ' will leave on the first Boat fcen'down ike titer for "Independence,, Mo.. which, is. to'bs nir future hosaevr For thejnresent good by, K - p-i . : .. .... , ttaw'tiri.

Remarksof Hon. Geo. H, Pendleton. At 8 o'clock the Convention again assembled to listen to an address from the Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton, who addressed the Convention as follows : . V ' ; ' .' w ' . . : Mr. Pendleton said he-would not detain the Convention long ; that this was not the time nor the place for much speakmr i that he would not enter into details nor discuss at length ' the topics which appropriately belong io: tins campaign. ue congratulated the Convention thai at length grim visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front, and the Questions now to . be considered belonged to the domain of argument and not arms. He congratulated the eountrv that the Democratic party still lives, in all its vigor, to confront these qnee lions, and to put their solution to the crucial test of those principles by which it so Ions and so safelv and so prosperously administered the Government, j " 1 be Democratic party is dead," say our op ponents. Let them look here upon us, this day, and believe that in numbers, at least, it is formidable. Let them look into the history .of parties and the philosophy of the Government, and if they answer honestly, they must say j that so long as a free government shall last, there must be, there will be a party, asserting our principles, advocating our policy, and probably bearing our name. The war is over. Its avowed object, of breaking the military' power of the South, is accomplished. The evacuation of Richmond announced it. The surrender of Lee confirmed it.. ? The capitulation of every armed force between the Potomac and the Rio Grande ratified it. The march of Sherman to Washington, the review of the armies, the mustering out of regiments, and brigades, and divisions and corps establish it. And yet here and there, and especially now, when the ex igency of elections requires the exercise of arbitrary power or the support : of extreme poei-tions, we hear from some ex-Major General, who wants an office, or shoddy contractor. whose maw is not vet filled, or fanatic, who wants more power, that the war is not over yet. Wbv not? Haa not the Federal nower been established? . Have not the - Confutation and the laws been asserted over the seceded States? On the 22nd day of July, 1861, the Republican party in Congress declared 44 that the war is wsged to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union, with all tbetiigmty, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired. Was this true? Then the objects of the war are accomplished, Lite purposes are attained, and all that belongs to a state of war should cease. We can not be deceived. It is a false pretext to cover over illegitimate ends. V It seeks a screen for the use of usurped power, Courts-martial, military commissions, suspension of habeas corpus, sup pression of newspapers, interference with free speech and free elections, these have been the fashions for years past. When we remonstra ted, we. were . told they were the: necessary incidents of a state of war. and aids to the war- making power ; that when the war ceased they would cease. . Then they were maintained to support war note ' the war is maintained to support tuero, can never be eraseu... Aibceirturrn it has left io our social aad governmental system can never W smoothed overbite inflnence on the feelings itnd character of our people will remain. The relations of the people and the sections can never be exactly restored.. "The questions which it has raised must be eettled. The results which it has brought -about must be accepted. We can not recall the past. We can not undo what has been done. We can not re-establish exactly the old order of things; but we can be just and true. We can bravely, and honestly meet new issues, and, like wise men, accepting the unavoidable, yielding to accomplished facts.; We can, as nearly as possible, adhere to old landmarks, and thus secure to ourselves all the blessings . of good government. : . ' " Let the deadpast bury its dead.'' Let us forget the war, except for the lessons which it teaches. Let us banish it as the memory of a horrid calamity, iu which the innocent and the guilty, the pure and the wicked, the unfortunate and the undeserving, the conqueror and the conquered alike suffered a common woe. If any would recall it to nourish hatred be tween the lections, or to excite the people of either section against each other, let his name and his fame be accursed et him be anathema maranatha. : When Mr. Lincoln delivered his Inaugural Address, he said: "Suppose' you go to war. After much suffering on' both sides, and the advantage on neither, you will have the same questions of intercourse to settle which . you have now." He was right. We have had war we have had much suffering and what are -the questions remaining? The status of the negroes in the States, and the delation of the States among themselves.. To a Democrat theseque6tion8 appear easy of solution. He brings them to the test of the Constitution.- The Constitution declares that the powers "not delegated are reserved." It also defines the relations of the. States. No power has been given to the Federal Goternment, or any of its departments to interfere with the status of the people of the States, of 16' ci'arge or define the relations of the Siates to eabh other. If the war was waged to maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, surely the success of the war and the attainment of peace should not be made the occasion of impairing it. These questions must be left with, the Slates tbem-eelves. . ". . . . . . u -. If the war was for another purpose; if Black Republicanism was all a lie ; if coercion was a base pretext, and armed revolution .as the real design, we confront another question : What ought to be, not what is, the Constitution?. 'And to this question we are being brought. Men high in authority propound it to us. I see that a citizen of our own State, now on the stamp, an aspiring man, announces that he will never consent to the admission to Congress of Representatives and Senators from Southern States, until they shall, by their votes, have adopted the pending amendment to the Constitution and another, changing the rule of representation, until they shall, have shown their aptitude for free government, as ha mockingly terms it, by the facility .whh which' they can put their hands On their mouths tnd their moafhs in the dust, and, like fawning t sycophants, degrade themselves by; base fervility... -x : ''J .; - I am in favor of no change m the Constitution.

The one party, however, claimed that when they denied the Federal power, and obstructed its operation, armed coercion might be used to compel obedience to its lawful requirements. This was the extreme doctrine-of the Federalists this was the theory of those who called them selves tbe mends of the Government. This was tbe theory on which the war was com roenced. This was the theory of coercion. This was the theory of Mr. Lincoln, when he esid that after a war the same questions would exist as before. This was the theorv of the Crittenden resolution, and the Republican par- ly in isongrese. . this was tbe theory of General Sherman when he entered into his truce with General Johnston. And he said rightly, that its observance would bring peace from the Potomac to tbe itio Urande a veritable peace, a pacification. Resistance to Federal authority would have ceased, armed forces would have been dispersed, arms and forts would have been giv en up, me reaerai taws wouiu Dave been executed. On the other, hand, the State Governments would have been left intact, the functions of civil society would have been unimpe ded, the civil law would have been administer ed by ordinary tribunals, the ordinance of se cession would have been repealed or treated as nullities, the Federal Government and State Governments would, by this time, have revolved harmoniously in their respective orbits, and then to the States would be left, as they i properly belong, the questions of negro suffrage and new Constitutions, and the relations j of labor. I think General Sherman- pro vtjj ' himself even more wise in negotiation than formidable in war, and that his statesmanship more than his arms, would have maintained . tbe Union. . ?.-'. j But in these latter days a new theory his sprung into being. It is the offspring of mors than Yankee -ingenuity, stimulated by more than Yankee fanaticism. I holds that acts of secession are both valid and invalid valid to destroy the State, invalid to destroy the Union. The State of Virginia adopted, and ratified the Constitution, not as part 4 of the people of the United States, not as a majority of the people of Virginia, but in her capacity as a sovereign. State, regulating her relation to other sovereigns. The old Confederation had been practically dissolved, the new. one had not been, formed. .Virginia was absolute ly sovereign, and at such, gave her assent, o the Federal Constitution. By that act.she became a member of tbe Union. .By.' that(-act alone by hex command alone her xitizens owe obedience to the Federal .Govern ment.r Virginia re raU 0wrt a(ir-e ratifioatiqti. and thereby endeWvota to secede frtom the-Union, j . . -v ki! r. " ti? . . .These gentlemen aVer that the act bf repeal does not dissolve the tie which binds the territory to the Union; but does destroy ha State Government; - does "dissolve -it as ar political community ; does' absolve the Federal Government from all duties,- and does confer upon' it all powers of management and control! " I will not say that the gentlemen do not themselves believe this doctrine, but I will say that if they can maintain it, the war was not for the, Union, but tor conquest; and the. result is .that the Suth is subjegated, hot to tba Constitution, out to the win ot the Worth. And then itfol lows that the imposition of negro suffrage, of new constitutions, or amendments to the Federal Constitution, the restoration of civil -law. or the continuance of military rule are qnes- . : C 1 : L ' . m ..ir Mun ui jjohcj, not power ; ana lo inis position do these gentlemen, most of all things, desire to reauce them. - .. - Midway between these bositioBS is the the- B . B - B - - - ory aaopieu ny ine Administration, or, perhaps, I ought to say, by President Jphnspn. He believes that the question of Bunrage be- longs to the States. He believes that the ordinances of secession were invalid for every purpose utterly void that they do not affect either the territory or the people, or the State Government, but that the officers of the Stale Governments, in resorting -to war....bccame usurpers, and by force, and in fraud, perverted ine powers oi ma otate to illegal ends; that their acts, so far. as execute i, were with out authority, aad therefore wrongful so tar as not yet executed are utterly void. This usurpation supplanted the legitimate governments, which lie dormant inoperative now, but entitled to all the powers and rights of the States, when the usurpation displaced them. Hence he appoints Provisional Governors to set the old machinery in motion, and seeks a pivotal point on which its revolutions shall commence,, .. y - - - ' ' - " 'i I wish the President had gone further. He would have done belter, if he had accepted Sherman's truce. He' would have done better if, when he received the submission of armed forces, he had recognized the legitimate powers of organized State governments But be has done well in this, that he recognizes the powers of the States over the question of suffrage ; that he appoints as ProvisionalOover-nor-; the citizen of the.States, and npt super-serviceable patriots from Ohio or Massachusettsthat be desires the States to resume their relations to the Federal Government as soon as possible, and to be represented in both Houses of Congress and on those points I de sire to give bira a cordial and hearty approval. : The crsidesir of every patriot now is tbe pacification of the country, the return to the ways and duties and prosperities of peace : and this can most speedily and only be accom plished by securing to tbe people ot tbe South self government in their States, and their ap propriate influence in tbe Government of the Union. Toe Constitution will do this, -it ned only be observed. Its provisions, are all-sufficient. It needs no amendment. " Wise men made it ; good men" administered it for seventy years ; peace and prosperity attended iU-. It will bring again-union and freedom and prosp rity.
