It has long been suspected that Col. tieuton would be brought oui aa a candidate for the no't preaidency, and liint have been g veil out of the i:fltablitlimeiit of a journal which ia intended to promote his aapii atioim.

Tne names wore called from the publiBhed list iu the Eurpiirer of Saturday. When the names of ihe delegates of tho Seventh Ward were called, as given in said paper, each man answered and took hi sent, when Mr. Johnson f fam- oiib in the contested Senatorial case of Broadwell and iluiBoii) rose and asked why his name had not been alh d, aud others rose and demanded the same of the President. The President stated that the names hud been called by the Secretary h they had been otficinlly furnished to the Convention. Mr. Johnson mounted the stand unon which the Pre sident, Secretaries and reporter stood, and iu a loud voice proceeded to assert the claim of himself and col ognes to a seat in that Convention.

In the midst of this confusion, Mr. Jnhn son gave his voice its fullest pitch, like Byron' trum peter, to urown one noise with a iiote still greater, aud snid he was bound to be heard.

The frwf delegate did not suit a certain faction, and hence that faction, having the numerical strength, would kick them out. He was not to be put down by ivado, or bullied by out of his seat without a hear ing, and he demanded lhat the tinmen of himself and olleogueB be called. Here a trnmendous uproar was ruined on all sides. iu the midst of which numbers of scuts broke down, which added to I ho confusion, and " outsiders " milled iu from all ipiarters, yelling like aboriginals on a high pree.j Mr. Johusoii strove to continue, although nearly over whelmed by the hurrah, aud ihe President screamed for order, and Mr. Johnson screamed to be heard, and amidst a hurricane nf hoots and hisses, mainly directed at Mr. Johnson, with a sprinkle at tho President, the latter commanded Air.

That the body before him was not a Convention, hut a mil's of men in a state of organization, nnd lhat ihe ob ject ol calling' the names ol delegates was in ascertain ho were entitled In seals, and he and his colleagues had a rihttolhe place In which they had been elected, and to assert their claims thereto.

When the names of the Ninth Ward members were called, a Hibemiau outside of the rope jumped up and aid, " Mr, President, I resaved two hundred votes in the bloody Ninth, und 1 claim a sate, too."

But utter defeat awaited them, and for some years thi issue has. been withheld. In the January Convention, 1850, the subject was again introduced, and resolutions of the mont decided character were adopted. At the July , Convention the question wns again rnised, and, though some few men tried to avert tho storm and prevent (ho ' adoption of these measures, yet the hards prevailed, ! and resolutions, which will be found at the bend of this paper, were carried. The Locofoco party in Ohio have planted themselves openly on this issue. The people of the State are called upon to sanction this doctrine at the polls. Judge Wood atuuds before the people, claim-ing their nffroges for Governor on this issue. Members of the two branches of the Legislature are tu be elected on this issue.

Upon ihis question he waa clearly right. He saw, as every man of ordinary sagacity must see, that the adoption of the hard money rule would effectually and utterly ruin a large and meritorious class of community. The laboring clnises the men in all kinds of business who hapeu to be in debt, who are so unfortunate us not to be bom of rich parents and with gold spoons iu their mouths these classes must be crushed by the adoption of the ardiual principle of the Locofoco party in Ohio as pro mulgated in their articles of faith.

But utter defeat awaited them, and for some years thi issue has. been withheld. In the January Convention, 1850, the subject was again introduced, and resolutions of the mont decided character were adopted. At the July , Convention the question wns again rnised, and, though some few men tried to avert tho storm and prevent (ho ' adoption of these measures, yet the hards prevailed, ! and resolutions, which will be found at the bend of this paper, were carried. The Locofoco party in Ohio have planted themselves openly on this issue. The people of the State are called upon to sanction this doctrine at the polls.

Upon ihis question he waa clearly right. He saw, as every man of ordinary sagacity must see, that the adoption of the hard money rule would effectually and utterly ruin a large and meritorious class of community. The laboring clnises the men in all kinds of business who hapeu to be in debt, who are so unfortunate us not to be bom of rich parents and with gold spoons iu their mouths these classes must be crushed by the adoption of the ardiual principle of the Locofoco party in Ohio as pro mulgated in their articles of faith.
