The Convention then proceeded to elet by ballot a

of Simon Dolen, of Wilkesville township.
E. F. Bingham, Esq., then read and offered for
adoption the following resolutions which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved. That the present administration,
by its reckless expenditure of the people's money, by its
want of efficiency and order in its various departments, by
its tamely submitting to the multitude of indignities which
have been heaped upon our citizens, our commerce and
our rights by foreign powers, has furnished additional
evidence of what was before a "fixed fact," that modern
whiggery with federal principles are utterly incapable of,
and unworthy of govern a free, intelligent and republican
people.
Resolved. That when a fair issue has been
joined between the Democratic and whig parties upon
principles, and that issue fairly presented to the American
people, the Democracy have ever been triumphant; and that
whenever the whig, alias the federal party, have been
successful it has been by covertly concealing their real
principles and designs, and feloniously "stealing Democratic
thunder" for electioneering purposes; that we regard the
present position of the whig party in nominating a military
hero for the Presidency, without experience as a statesman,
and who, upon high whig authority, is admittedly "weakness
in all he says or does in reference to the Presidency;" who
suffers his pen "to dim the glory of his sword;" in
professing totally to abandon as "obsolete" all their former
convictions" with reference to measures, including
national bank, bankrupt law, et id omne genus, also
inclusive of the "known incidents" in the "long life" of
their candidate indicates an intention to practice the same
frauds as were so notoriously palmed upon teh Ameican people
in '40 and '48.
Resolved, That being for-warned, we will be
fore-armed - that having the most abiding confidence in the
long and well-tried ability and patriotism of Franklin
Pierce and William R. King, we will use every
effort, in an honorable way, to secure their election,
believing that thereby we will restore the administration of
the general government to its pristine purity, and secure
for our nation honor and respect abroad as well as happiness
and prosperity for our people at home.
On motion, the following persons were elected delegates
to attend the Congressional Convention to be held in Logan
on the 17th inst.: B. P. Hewitt, E. F. Bingham, Simon
Dolen, John Clark, Joseph Maee, J. A. Walden, John Swepston,
D. D. T. Hard and James Malone.
On motion, the following resolutions were unanily
adopted:
Resolved, That having this day learned the
choice of a majority of all the Democratic electors of
Vinton county, voting at the primary election on the 13th
inst., for candidates for the various county offices in
accordance with the good old Democratic principal that
majorities should rule, we do hereby pledge our cordial
support to, and our best efforts to secure the election of
the entire nominated ticket.
Resolved, That the Delegates present on the 17th
inst. at the Convention to be held at Logan, be authorized

OHIO SUPREME COURT
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 22. -
Decision day in the supreme Court found a large grist to be
run through the hopper of justice. Some few of these
were of general importance, while the majority were of local
nature only. Michael Woolweaver, the Vinton
county murderer, who created a stir by appearing at the
Penitentiary while out on bond, asking Warden James
to lock him up, to keep Sheriff Jennings, his old
enemy, from collecting the fees, is allowed to file a
petition in error, which carries with it a stay of
execution. Sheriff Jennings persecuted the
prisoner for political reasons, much to the disgust of his
community. Woolweaver ws taken back to the
Vinton county jail, under threat that in a new trial he was
to be given a severer sentence for running away.
Through his attorneys he files petition in error to get his
case out of the Vinton County courts, where this extra time
is promised him.
MOTION DOCKET.
Michael Woolweaver vs. State. Motion for
leave the file petition in error to Circuit Court of Vinton
county allowed and cause advanced.
