Just as frenzy had begun to calm down into ' sober, earnest preparation forthe doom which awaited 'them, there came out of the state rooms a fair young,r creature over whose head scarce Sixteen summers had passed.

Her face was ashy pale, as she mount- ed the stairway.‘and with her hair disshcvel- led hythe Wind, she exclaimed in a voice whiC‘h‘ rung 'clear as the notes of a bugle above the storm : ‘I know something ofthis Lachine rapid, and willuse my best endeavors ,toguide you. although we have everything of wind and. weather against us.

The Ohio Democratic state convention met at Columbus yesterday, and was very largely attended. EX'GOVGHXOI‘ Medill presided. i. Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham was nomina- ited for Governor on the first bailot. receiving 448 out of 461 votes. This nomination was then made unanimous. The Hon. George E. Pugh was nominated for Lieut. Governor by acclamation. Resolutions were unanimously adopted : protesting against l resident Lin- coln’s emancipation proclamation; condemn- ing martial law in loyal States, where war does nrt exist ; denouncing the suppression of the writ of habeas corpus; protesting in the most earnest terms against the banishment of Vallandigham, and calling on the President to recall him and to restore to him all his rights as a citizen of the United States; do. claring that the party will hail with delight a desire by the seceded Statesto return to their allegiance, and that we will comperate with the citizens of those States to restoretpeace, and insist upon the freedom of. speech, the freedom of the press and the right of trial by jury. the Ministry of the day; and they lost the elections. The Baldwm-Laiontaine Ministry came into power; and the new sheritfwas at once dismissed, as the mOst public and sum- rnary mode of punishing the traffic in the office for political purposes. Mr. Snider‘s party will lose the eiections as sure it's the sun wiil rise to-morrow. The precedent wiii be complete, in all its parts ; and we know no reason why it should not be arted upon.
