petsrsses an inherent weakness. Sometimes its supporters quarrel and divide; sometimes its parts an ,tag9nize; sometimes forco touches it, and u bubble only has burst; sometimes sober second thought .assails it. Time, with Us Ithuriel spear, inevitably pierces it, and it conies to naoght. . . This frenzy of passion can not at forever. Reason must, sooner or later, resume its sway, ino.-o who think' otherwise, it has been beautifully said, forget Miat tho an gry rapids of Niagara lead to the placid expanse of Ontario. It was an Eastern sage who urged his master to have engraven on his signet-ring, t' at it might bo ever 'before Ins eyes, in every vicissitude of prosperity or adversity, "And this too shall pass away." This year or next year, or in afevyears, or iu ten years, reason will bo heard, and our principles and our party will triumph. Hut if it should not come in our time, and if wo of this generation must die with our harness on, in the midst of the struggle, we shah at least iiuu dio (cMtmony or a good con science, wo shall at le:il have kept the faith, we dia!l at least have tho assurance of a good hope, for we know that great parties, strug gling for great princ.ples,' like pood men, leave behind them ''footsteps in the sands of time."

In the mean time wc are strong as a minority adhercing to our principles. We would be weak in t'llioc at the expense of them. The power of an honest opposition for good is large indeed. The rudder may so direct its course that the vessel will advance- almost in face of the wind. Wo are strong as wo cast aside all temporizing expedi ents a3 ,rt'o reject all sacrilices of principlo to policy as we bravely and openly avow our luiui nnu in voko a patriotic people to its thounhttiil consideration. Let us makq that appeal to-day. The first business in 'order was that of nominations, and tho oifice of Governor was called. General Morgan spoke as tol lows: Mr. Chairman I move that Judge T'lurman, a Democrat of tho true Jefferson, Madison and Jack e-n oOt-a1 . !i rvrnfinind cf:ilnnifn and an able jurist; a man, who, like the Constitution of the United States, is alike sound in peace and in war be nominatad for Gover nor by acclamation, by tho Demo cratic party in Convention.

Miss Chris tine Kelt, aged about eighteen years, living on Oak street, in this city, was brutally murdered yester day afternoon, during the tempo rary absence of her mother, by some unknown person. Bloody tracks were found in the snow out Bide ot the bouse, and marks of blood were, also found upon the fence A discharged pistol winch belonged to her brother, was found by her side, .but there were cuts upon her head made by 'some sharp instrument, and the supposition is, that in attempting to detend her self with the pistol from the brutal assault of a ruffian, she was killed, by him. , The pistol was fired into the wound and so placed as to raise the presumption of suicide.

Rcs.jlvul, That the Democracy of Ohio steadfastly alhero to the principles of the p irty as expounded by the fathers, nnd approved by rxpeiienue, that in accordance will) those principles we duclitro thut the Fedetnl Government is a government of limited powers, and th it it possesses no pow era but stii'h m ate expiossly, oj by newt sary implication deleguieil lo it in the Fed eral Constitution, tli-it all other powers are reserved to the States or tho people, that a strict consliuction of tho Constitution is in dispensable to the preservation of the re served rights of men, thut ilis preservation of tho equa'itv ant! rights of the States and the rights ol the people is necessity to the preserve 'ion of the Union, that the Fedcial Go eminent is unfit led to legislate for or administer th local Concerns of the State?, ihuf it would bis monstrous that the local afTiiis of Ohio should he reguUkd by u Ffdeiul Congre-s in which she his but two Seuu r;, a. id the New England Stales, with but a little greater population, have twelve, that the tendency of the Federal Government is to usurp the reserved rights of t e Slates and 'of the people, and that, therefore, a centralization ot power in its In ml s is an tver pending danger. That such an absorption of power would, while it ladled, be destructive of he liberties and intcre.-U of the people, und woulJ end eith er in despotism or a destruction of llie-jUn ion, that a National debt, beside improving the people, lo.-lers an undue increase of the powers Of the Federal Government, that high protective tariffs have a like cU'ei-tnc-ritkiug the Interests of the many for the e i olumetits of the few, and plainly violat ing the equality and spirit of the Constitu tion, that the collection und disbursement of emimmts levenivs by the Federal Gov eminent have the same. tendeny, !:( k!

" 3. Resolved, That the States lately in rebellion ara States ill th? Union, and have been reoognizjJ as such by every depart ment ot tlu Government, ond by Presideu. Lincoln, who, in the midst of the war, in vited them toelecr members of Congress by Pietident ohuson, in various proclam i tions end official acts by Congre-s, which permitted An Irew Johnson to sit in the "donate as a Senator from Tennessee, aiul members from .Vfcginia, Tennessee and Louisiana to sit in the House of Representa tives after those Statys had seceded, and while the war was being carried on, and which further recognized them as States in tho Union by the Congressional apportion ment act providing fui their due represent ation in Congress by various tax laws, and especially by the diieut tax by the rosolu- tioos submitting , amendments to the (Con stitution lor their approval, anJ by various other acts arid rejolutioris imparting tho same recognition, all of which were passed si.ice the attempted secession of those Slates tT the Judiciary ol uie uniteu states liich .holds Federal Courts in all those States, and especially by the.Supreme Court, which entertains jurisdiction of cases com ing from them, which h could not- do were they uot iu the union, mat being ilius in the Union, they staiiJ on an 'equal footing uiih their iter S(ts, Stales with unequal rights being a thing unknown in trie Con-, dilution -that, by the express terms of the Constitut'ioui each State is entitled to have two Senators snd a. dua proportion of Rep resentatives iii the Congress, and to vote iu all elections of Tiesidenl and Vice Presi dent that, though these rights are subject to interruption b)" srtle of civil war. they cm not, in time of pence, be suspended, much less destroyed, without a piiii viola tion of the Constitution i'mt Congress hai no power lo deprive State of its teserved rights, and reduce it to a territori il coudi lion, that therefore hJ exclusion, bv Ihe so called O'ng ress, tif nil repress nlution f om ten Slate, ill,-proposed escln.-iniro' those Slates front all v . ice in Ihe m.M Pres don tia I election, thii. tlirentened vei(hrow of their Stale Governments and the. reduction of their Stairs to ihe condition of territo ries, are cich and every one of hem uncoil s'itutioual, rcvtlulionary and despotic meas ures, (lefrnctivo not merely of the rights of thos States, but also of the rights of every other Slate in the Union, Tiiat thoso nieuRires are pa-j of a p'an lo nullify ihe Constitution, to tiituullx ov erfnrow the Siate Governments, m erei t o consolidated despotism on their ruins, an I to estabiUU and 'erpe'.neie a rai ircnl ru'e of a mini'My over a iii 'jority ol ihe Amcrh an' people. .

KesoUcd, Tout Congress ,is not an pninipt tent lavv.nink'iig power, that liie Constitution provides that no hill shall be come a lu'V v ithout the approval of the President, unless it be passed by two-thirds of racli house of Congress, lint one ol the objects of tho present to called Congress, in excluding ten Slates Irom representation, s to pass bills by a two thirds vole. wii;ch were all the Slates represented, could not so pass, and thus to virtually abolish the Constitutional provision aforesaid, . that if this precedent be acquiesced in, there will be nothing td prevent a bare majority of Congress, at any lime in the' fufore, from nullifying the Constitutional veto of- the President, and usurping uncontrolled IpU laiive power by an exclusion of the minori ty fri'tn iheir seats, that tho exclusiin of even a single Sta to might give this control, and a pretext for furh au exclusion' Wuu! no vi r be wanting to an unscrupulous aud revolutionary party. 4. Resolved, That ihe people, and espec ially those ol iho agricultural .Sta'es, havo suffered loo long the exactions of high pro tective tariffs, and as the representatives ol an agricultural and laboring population, we demand that tiiti'i subs.' ince shall no lunger be extorted from them in order to fill the pockets of Eastern monopolies. 5. Resolvjd, That unequal (sxafnn is contrary to he first principles of justice and sound polity, and we call, upon our Gov. Ptnmeius, Federal and Slate, to uso all neo-ei-aty Constitutional m:ans to remedy this evil. 6. Resolved, That ihe Radical majority in the b i-called Congress have proved ihem selves to be in favor of Negro Suffrage by forcing it upon the people of the District of Coffimbia against their almost, unanimous i wish, solemnly expressed at the polls, by 'forcing it upon the people of all the Terri tories, ond by their various devices to co-. erce the people of -the South to adopt it, that we ore opposed to "Negro Suffrage, be lieving it would be productive of evil to tio'h w hites and blacks, and tend to pro duce a disastrous conflict of races. 7. Resolved, That for all their efforts to uphold Constitution we . tpodcr to the I'ro.-iJent and to the majority of the Judg es of the Supreme Court of the United Slates cur hearty thinks. , 8.

KesolveJ, That the Democratic news pipers of Ohio deserve ourearncsl and liber al support.'and lint "an early and thorough orgar.izi'toii of the party is indispensable. STRANGE DELUSION. The last Chillicolhe Advertiser says, "Tho Vinton Record has. ceased to exist." We'hope Broth er Putnam will ilo us the justice to contradict the above. I'lease re member, hereafter, that the Record belongs to that class of papers that never surrenders, and consequent ly never dies. No Sir-ce ; as soon may you expect another Joshua to appear in our midst, and command the sun to standstill, as the Record to cease while, we aro connected with the office. That thing can't be did. . Bro. Putnam ought to know us better. The Portsmouth Tribune, the African organ of Scioto county, which appellation we give it a3 an off-set to Copperhead, as used in its notice, says: . . ,. . Mr.'W. E. Bralton retires from the Vinton County Record cop perhead for the reason that it don't pay. A good, live Republi can organ would pay in Vinton county, and we hope ere long to hear of sudh a one being started. There is no disguising the fact that Democratic papers don't pay in Ohio; and it is. just as likely that a live Republican organ would, as they have ;of' late years, had a capital chance 1 at 'stealing, but they are now not 60 success ful since Andy Johnson has been berJieading ihem oil'. But Brother , McFarland, you know we don't publish papers to "make it pay1," but for, the advocacy 'of1 honest' principles. As to lire papers of any party in Vinton paying, its a good joke on th0 publishers. We hope our Republican friends will not be deterred, however, from try ing the experiment again, if they see proper ; but we all know there is not enough business in the coun ty, of all partie?, to sustain one paper as it should be sustained. Another Press at McArthur. f The Chillicothe Advertiser says : "Tho material upon which the Republican was printed, at Waver ly, has been removed to McAr thur, Vinton county, for the pub lication, of a new papej." The press and material above mentioned, arrived here on tho 12th inst. We learn it was purchased by J. W.' Bowetyformerly of tho Jackson County Express, at the instance and aid of Sheriff Shock ey and one cr two others, to start another, and, as they claim, a true Democratic paper.- If this be true, wo would suggest that they call it the " Democratic Disorganizer." Nothing can le more apparent to every Democrat in Vinton, than the fact that the starting of anoth er Democratic papei hero will tend to tho permanent disorganization of the Democratic party in this county. Our pr S3 has heretofore and will' hereafter advocate and defend the principles of the Consti tution, and the Democratic candi dates nominated upon platforms that conform to. and sustain the Constitution ; and we hee tay to our fellow-citizens of Vinton, that there is hot men nor money enough in Ohio to switch us off the track. And we here declare, that we will sooner expose thcV men whom we talk and write for, and vote for, who then betray the confidence we have placed in them, as officers and agents of the" people, than we would expose a political opponent. That maiif that we work and vote for, to elect, and who betrays that confi dence, is unworthy tho support and confidence of nny man or par ty. , Tho Record press has always stood by the people of the county, and we ask the Banie support and confidence as heretofore. This pre s lias been Tor sale for the past two years, at a fair price. Why did not these new paper men buy it, instead of attempting to disorganize the party in this coun ty? "The right is always expedient" is our motto, and by this we try to judge of the act3 of oilmen, wheth er of political friends or foes. DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET. Wo this week place at the head of our editorial columns the Dem ocratic State' ticket, nominated on the . Sth'.inst., at Columbus. No better men could have been select ed as our standard-bearers. Judge Thurman will make a different Governor from nny wo have had for the past ten years. The Judge is a gentleman of the largest ex perience, served a term on our Supreme bench, and declined a re nomination for the same position. He is deservedly popular, and his old neighbors jn Ross, and, where he now resides, in Columbus -those who know him best will rally to his support wiihout regard to par ty. He will undoubtedly be the next Governor of Ohio. We will have more to say in regard to thU ticket hereafter. MR. PENDLETON'S SPEECH. We hope -no person who reads these lines will fail to read the able, logical, aud patriotic speech of Mr. Pendleton, on the first page of this paper. Mr. Pendleton ' is one of the most eminent jurists and hon est statesmen of the United States, and hasi the esteem, confidence, and respect of his political opponents. We do hope our Republican friends will read this speech and let us hear their objections to it. A bill has been introduced in the Senate at Washington which will create some stir in Utah. Among other anti-Mormon provi sions there is a clause providing lor the punishment of men and wo men living together who are not lawfully married, and Mormon mar riages, or "ceahng," are declared illegal.1 I such ! case, Brigham Young will have to be punishsd several time?. Ihe bill is caiculat ed to upset the entire lrame-work of Mormon society. ; i v.--i [For the Record. DON'T BITE. Maj. Bkatton : I wish to warn the Democracy of Vinton County to first consider before they subscribe for and patronize this new-fledged bantling of Shockey, Dana and Co., to disrupt' the party and distroy the frospects of our people in Vinton, t is high timo the Democracy were a little more careful njaout their nominations, and not have to elect men to office in w hom we can have no confidence, and turn round aid betray tho party in less than a month alter they are elected. We have sorno men in the party who nre determined to either rule or ruin the Democracy Wo hope you will as in time gone by, expose those men, be they whom they may. The Democracy here will the Record. . j AFTER'EM. Richland Tp. Jan. 14th 1867. Impeachment of the President. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. It is now 6tated by those who profess to Jiave learned the plans of the leaders in 'he impeachment scheme, that having come to the conclusion that there can not be a conviction in the Senate, even though the President should be broutrht before that body on aiw impeachment by the House, the leaders mentioned have determined to pass a law providing that when articles of impeachment aro pre ferred the party charged shall be immediately suspended in the exe cution of his official dutics, and an other placed in his office until the trial is over. Under such a law it is claimed tho mere' passage of the bill in the House would suspend Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Wade would bo selected as the ad interim President. By prolonging the trial until the 4th of March, 1809, Mf. Johnson would bo efleetually legislated out of office, and in the mean time the Territo rial and other measures intruded forthe' reconstruction of tho South can be passed. Such is tho out line of the plan now proposed. There are some who, while they lavor anv mode of getting 'rid of Mr. Johnson, nevertheless declare such a law as that above mention ed would bo cxpost facto oOetro active, and tnereipre unconstitu tional and void, inasmuch as it pro vides for a penalty or punishment for nn offense after the commission of the act. . : .
