It has been made my duly to inform you lhat the Whig Convention assembled in ihis place, ive ibis day unanimously presented your name to iho people of Ohio as their candidate lor Guvernor at the next nnnunl election. If you accept the nomination and nre willing lo become the stand.trd-bertrer orf lha groat Whig parly of this State, you will please communicate the same to mo at this place, that the same may be mads public. With much respect, I am, sir. Your friend nnd servant David chambers, Pres'l of Convention. Cincinnati, May Iff.

Hon. David Chajiburs Dear dir: I thank you for your note of the 7ih, informing me of my nomination for Gover. nor, by the Whig Stato Convention 3 nnd I thank ihe Convention for the honor they have done me. The position was ono neither to be sought nor declined." But now lhat you have placed me in it, am at your service. A vety few days will suffice to make my arrangements, and then 1 shall lake the slump.

am very truly yours, WILLIAM Governor Johnston. This is tho distinction conferred in pnl. upon our lellow citizen, Judge Johnston, by the Whig State Convention held nt Columbus the first of this week. And that the people of Ohio will go heartily to work and ratify it, admits of no doubt. William Johnston is one of themselves I ha was so at the beginning of his career, he has been so ever since, he is so From the time he started in the log cabin schoolhouse, eyery Winter lor three or four years alter a hard summer's work in the field, with tho word boo by, to the day of receiving this nomintion he has belonged to ihe masses, and the masses will now da-light lo honor him by elevating him lo th chnir of the Chief Magistracy of lha Slate, It affords 'is grent pleasure to learn, as we do that Mr, Johnston's nomination wss acceptable to the members generaly of Ihe Convention.

This might be inferred from the large vote that he received on the first ballot, and tlio fact that he was chosen on the second. Other candidates had their friends ul course those of Governor Ford were numerous but ihis gentleman Was content to step aside, alter a single term at the helm of State, and make room for another good Whig and true; and lha friends nl other gentlemen who hnd been named in connection wiih a nominalion for the office of Governor, readily oast their votes for Mr. Johnston, as soon ns it wns seen that he was a general favorite. Mr Johnslnn has had experience at lha axe. at ihe hoe, and at Ihe bar ha has performed service in the fields, in the forests, nnd in the halls of legislationhe has worked nn the tough hickory log, nnd next thing to it, on the judicial bench he hns experience, talents and integrity, and will mako a good Executive of our noble State.

What county will pile him np the biggest majority- Don'l all speak nt once but lot all go lo work al once, and we'll hear what each has to say the second Tuesday of October next. The Columbus papers due yeslerdny did not come to hand. We long to see our good nntured friend, the Ex-member of lha Committee of Public Safety, "letting out" on the nominalion of Mr. Johnston. The way the Citizen will ring the changes on Boo-by.

will be "a sin even to the Stales-man per-hnps. But it wont qo, Sam.iel. The gsme'a ours, nnd the way in which our nxo holder will cut the chips nut ol your stick of Wood, will not be slow. Cin. Gaz.

Tho Convention. This morning tho President of the Convention announced that ho had not finished tho arrangement of tho several standing committees, but thnt ha would nnnounce them to-morrow morning. Several peti tions were presented, asking the Convention in abolish ail distinction on account of color also to give the ferrhles the right of snlT.ago. Upon thoso asking that blacks mny bo placed on tho same fooling as whites, soma debate aroso, Mr. Snwyer mado il a pcint to object to all such peti-nuns, and was opposed lo their reception.

Several gnntlemen took the occasion to define their positions." The current was very strong aaaitist the prayer, but in favor of receiving nil such papers. Upon a motion to receive), Messrs. Sawyer, and Lidy were the only nays. A petititinn was presented by Mr. Williams of Warren Irom certain blacks of Warren county that there be made no distinction en account nf color.

Upon tho yens end nays on ii reception, it wns carried about three to one, and the petition wits received. A resolution passed fixing the per diem of the Clerks and nssislanl Sergnnt-at. Armsot 83,00. Messenger boys 1,00. O.

Aoy SANS PEUB." EXTRACTS FROM THE Address of Hon. Horace Eann.

TO HIS CONSTITUENTS, OS THE SLAVERY QUETTION. No Northern Democrat, opposed to slavery extension, could- expect ihe support of the Southern Democracy. Hence, Gen. Cass stepped promptly forward nnd declared, in his Nicholson Letter, that Congress hod no power to exclude slavery from the territories. This has been techn'cilly called his bid, or his first bid.

It wns deemed satisfactory by ihe South; for, according lo their philosophy, the re-lalien of master nndslavo is ihe natural or normal relation of mankind; and therefore, where no prohibition ot it exists, slavery flows into free territory, as water runs down hill. This avowal of General fjass was rendered more signal and ser viceable to the South, becnuse, for the greater part of his political ho has takon oaihs, held offices, and administered laws, in undeniable contradiction to the declaration then made, The ordinance of 1787, was expressly recognized by the Congress held under the constitution, see ch 8. It was modified in pnrt nnd confirmed ns to the rest; and in holding offices under this, General Cass had laid the foundation of his honors nnd his fortune. His declaration, therefore, against all interdiction of slavery, made under circumstances so extraordinary, and in contra? diction of ihe whole tenor of his past lile, wns hailed with ncclamntion by the South, and he wns unnnimously declared at Baltimore, to be the accepted catuiidate of tho Democracy for the offico of Presideni. The common notion is that a man snows his love for a cause by ihe amount ol the srciafice he will make for ii; and as consistency, honor and truth, nre the most precious elements in character, who could sncrnfice more than he? To the honor of the Whig party be it said, there was rot a northern man to be found, who, to gain lher support of the Smith, would espouse its pro-slavery doctrines, or nny new rending ol the constitution to give their, a semblance of Inw.

Hence, at the Philadelphia Convention, no northern Whig received even so much ns a complimenlnrs-vole. The judicial eminence ol Judge McLean, the military eminence of General Scotl, were pnssed contemptuously by; nnd Mr. Webster acknowledged to he the greatest stntesmnn of the age, received but fourteen votes out of nlmost three hundred, nnd twelve of thse were from Massachusetts Mr. Webster had spoken more eloquent words for liberty than nny other living mnn, nnd this distinguished neglect was doubtless intended to tench him the lesson, that the path to Presidential honors did not lie through an advocacy ol the rights of mnn. Gen Tnylos wns nominated and chosen.

He was understood to take neutral ground. Discountenancing tho veto power, yet, if the House of Representatives, who nre chosen directly from nnd by the people, nnd the Senate, who nre chosen by the States, and will pass a territorial bill, either with or without a prohibition of slavery, he will approve it. This is the common, opinion, and I have uo doubt of its correctness. Under these circumstances, a most des perate effort was made al the close of tho last Congress to provide a government for the territories, with no prohibiton of of slavery. Had General Cass been elected, no such effort would hnvo been neces sary, for he was pledged to veto a prohi bition.

General Tnvlor was supposed lo he pledged to an opposite course; nnd hence the strugglo. Tho facts must be so fresh in the recollection of The proceedings in the Sennlo.however, are those which now threaten the most disastrous consequences. Early in the session, in order to bring his northern friends up to the doctrine that is unconsti. tulional to legislate upon slavery in the territories. General Cass made a speech, in which he denies Congress has any power, under any circumstances, lo pass any inw respecting their inhabitants.

According to that speech, ihe United States stands in the relation of a foreign government to the people of ils own territories; nnd if they sel up a king or establish religion, we cannot help it; for wo hnve no more power to control them than we hnve tho subjects of Great or the cittizens ol France. It has been said that the doctorine of General Cass and General Taylor, on this subject, era identical; but there is this nil important difference between them: General Taylor maintains tho right nf Congress to legislate loe the territories, and will doubtless approve any hill for the prohibition of slavery in them; but General Cass, denying this right in Congress, would, if President, veto such a bill. He.therHl'ore, would leave the lerriiories open to bo invaded and possessed of slavery nnd in Southern law and practice, possession is more lhan nine points. Next came Mr. Clay's Compromise resolutions, so called.

By these, California was to be admitted ns a State; the territories organized without nny restriction upon slnverv; the Southwestern boundary of Texas to bo extended to tho Rio Gran-do, pnrt of her twelve or fiftnon millions debt to be paid by the U. Stales, on condition of her obandoning hor claim to that part of New Mexico which lies east ol the Rio Grande; the abolition of the slave trnde tn the District of Columbia, nnd the inviolability nf Slavery in the district during lha good pleasure of Maryland nnd of ihe habltanls of the district; more efTsclual provision for the restitution of fugitive slaves, nnd free traffic in slaves forever between tho States, unlesi lorbidden by themselves A compromise is a settlement of difficulties by mutual concessions. Lei us examine the mutuality of the concessions which Mr, Clay's resolutions propose. In tho firs', place, California is to bo permitted to remain free, if tho territories of New Mexico and Utah may be opened lo slavery. But California is free already; free by her own aci; free without any concessions of theirs, nnd without any grace but the grace ol God.

It is mainly occupied by northern population, who do their own work, with their own hands or their own briins. Fifty hardy gold digrjers from the North will never stand all day kneedeep in walor, shovel earth, rock washers under a broiling sun, and see a man with fifty slaves standing under the shade ol a tree, or having nn umbrella held over his head, with his whip in his hand, nnd without welling his dainty glove, or soil his japanned boo', pocket as much night ns the wholo of them to-gather.

In a chronological order I must now enns'der some vitally imponsHi views, which have been submitted by some mem. bers of iho House, and by Mr. Wtbster and others in the Sennte.

Louis, May 15. Liberty in sjfety. The steamboat St. Pnul arrived Irom Si. Joseuh.

Onihednv previous to her departure, a gnvernmenl express arrived from Fott Kearney, bringing inteiligei.ee of great suffering among California emigrants nt Fort Krarnry and Fort Larnmie. A low trains, including several hundred prr ons, had prued on the route bslwe the two plnccs( and Were ihen in a most deplorable condition, their mules and oxen giving out lor won1 of food, and the flour, meal and bread of the emi. grants had to be given 10 the animals in iho hope of keeping them alive until the latter lort could be reached. The plains were destitute of grass, -nnd in mnny places there was not ihe least sign of vegetation. It is thought that most of the animals will bo sacrificed, nnd the emigrants themselves suffer seriously lor want of fond.

At Si. Joseph, on the 10th, a largo number of emigrenis were prepnring to go out with government escoit, and would leave on the 10 for Fort Kearney. Jerome II. Hanson's train wns still encamped six miles from St. Joseph.

As was predicted, the nnti Slnvery meeting of Garrison, Burleigh, nnd the other ultrns hns been terminated by mob, and tho police of the city, itself far more vicious lhan any mob, nnd more dangerous to civil liberty than the work rf any mob can be. Never wns Now York so coolly and deliberately disgraced before. It isn fact that cannot be denied, that the liberty ol speech is denied in this city in the year 1950, and that the municipal authorities have not Ihe stamina to overawe the gamblers and blacklegs, who, in this case, have determined what sort of words public speakers shall use. Tho riot ol Tuesday wns translorred on Wednesday from the Tabernacle to ihe Society Library rooms, which was finally closed by Sheriff Carnly, yesterday afternoon. The nnti slavery men though using language nnl disgracrd them, still stnnd nut ns models of patriotism, contrasted with the villain Hy rulers, who, with his gang drove them from the field.

The ami slavery men gnvo their rowdy opponents the floor and beat them at every point in the argu ment, lo the complete ttislactton of the audience. Tho black blood showed itself superior to the'vhile puddle that filled the veins ol tho democrats ol New inik. These Democrats need the school master, for wo are not sale in the midst of so much lznorance nnd brutality. In the course of tho iiol, ihw jacobin Kyn tiers hnnued resolution lo one of his Ii tends to I)o rend, so that nil could bear it. Tl.e miscreant to whom it was given had not education to read it, but spelled the.

words nil pronunciation lo match. 1 his is New York Ditnocracy, free speech and the rights ol thn people. The Cabinet. The Cabinet has been dissolved eyerv day for lha lost three months according 10 tho newsmonger at Washington. Ihey bavobeen as unlortunnle 111 tins prophecy ns in the assertion that Die Republic gave utterance lo the sentiments and wishes nf President.

Tho fnl'owing is from the Intelligencer of the ns telegraphed lo tho New Yo evening papeis: vve now, state, on the uuthurity of tne President, that ho lends no countenance to any attempts from whatever quarter it comes, 10 disturb or unsettle his adminis tration as il is. All the statamonls or inferences to ihe contrary are utterly without foundation. President Taylor and Free Soilers. tits present position on the Slavery question is now declared by the N. Yoik livening I nsl, tho loading roo boil paper in that State, 10 be wise and A correspondent of ihe Boston Free Soil Re-publican holds the following strong, decided and truthful language Candor requires Hint it should be said it is (orltinaio for the country that Cass was defeated.

Were he President, controlling the immense government patronage of this Country at this lime, tho South would have thoir own way in every thing. Gen. Taylor, I believe, makes no attempt to control Congress in the least possible degree, and he early declared himsell lar more Invnrnble on the California question and ell matters connected with slavery, than Cos) Clay or Webster, have shown themselves to bo. Indeed, in my estimation, he has acted, on the California qties lion, right, and very prudently a lu the torritories of Now Mexico and llesoret. He is more with the North nn all other leading questions touching Nnlinnnl policy than nre such men as oennlors Lass, tucK mon, Ettirgeon, Bright and W'hitcomb." institutions to exist which tolerate such unrighteousness.

California, therefore, is free; ns free ns Massachusetts; nnd Mr. Clny might ns well have said in lerms.lhnl whernBs, Massachusetts is free, therelore New Mexico shall be slave, or lun the hazard of being so. The next point of Mr. Clay's compromise is that Texas shall extend her south western boundary from or near the Nueces ol the Rio Grande, nnd shall receive, prob-nbly, some eight or ten millions of dollars for withdrawing ber claim to that part ol New Mexico which lies east of tho last named river. Now, Texas hns no rightful or plausible claim to a foot of all this territory.

But supposing it to be a sub-jfet of doubt, nnd therefore of compromise; ihe mutuality, then consists in dividing the whole territory claimed by Texas, and then giving her a valid title to one portion of it, paying her lor all the rest. Texas, or what in this connection is the same thing slavery, surrenders absolutely nothing, gets a good title to some hundred ihousnr.d square miles of territory, and pay for ns much more. But what renders-it nlmost incredible that any man could soberly submit such a proposition nnd dare to call it comprnm. ise, is this. All lhat part of New Mexico which Texas claims; and which lies between ihe parallels of 36 30 and 42 3, is by ihe resolutions of annexation lo be forever free.

I shall consider the constitution alily of these resolutions by and by; I now treat them aa valid. Now, tho compromise proposes to buy this territory so secured to freedom, and annex it to New MexicOjWhich is to be left open to slavery. We are to peril all the broad regi.in be-iween 3GI34), nnd 4-2, nnd pay Texas some six or eight millions of dollars for ihe privilege of doing so. Mr. Clay is not less eminent lor his statesmanship thnn lor his waggery.

Were ho lo succerd in playing oil' this practical juke upon the Norlh, nnd were it not for the horrible consequences wMch it would involve, ronr of laughter, like Jeu de joie, would run down the coarse of the nyes. A.s it is the laughter will be elsewhere. I he next point pertains to the abolition ol the slave trade, and the perpetuity of slavery in the District of Columbia. This has an area of about fifty square miles and Mr. Clny proposes, in considerntion of triinsfering its slave marts to Alexandria, on the Virginia side, or to some convenient place in Motgnmery or Prince George's countv, on the Maryland side, lo divest Congress lorever of its rights of "exclusive legislation" over it.

Should this plan prevail, ihe perpetuity of slavory in this a strict will be delended bv more unasailn. ble and impregnable borriors lhan any othor institution in Christendom. The President has a veto upon Congress but two-lhirds of both houses mBy still pass any law, notwithstanding his dissent. Mr. Clny proposes to give, bolh lo Maryland and to the citizens ol the District, a' veto on Ihis subject an absolute veto not a qualified one, like that of the President, of ihe United Slates but one tint will con-trol, not majorities merely, but the absolute unanimity in both brnnches of Congress.

By his plan, therelore, three separnie, independent powers are to have a veto upon tho abolition ol slavery in the District of Columbia. And not only so, but while it wilt require their joint and concurrent action to abolish tho institution, any ono i thetn can preserve ii. The laws ot" the MeJes and Persians had no such guaranties fur perpetuity as this. Mr. Clay's Inst point is to really loo faceious So solemn a subject does not permit such long continued levity, however it may be masked by sobriety of coun-tenance.

It is lhat Congress shall make more effectual provisions for the capturo and delivery of lugitivo slaves; and, as on equivalent for this, it shnll bind itself never to interfere with the inter-State traffic in slaves. IV are to catch iheir slaves, as though ihal were a grateful privilege to us, we nre to allow them free commerce in slaves, coastwise or inland. By this means slaves can be transported to the mouth ol' iho Rio Grande, arid some hundred of miles up that river, towards Ne.v Mexico, insiend ol being driven in collies across the country. Tne compromise is, that for every slave wo catch, we are to lacilitule the passage of a hundred into New Mexico. Such the mutuality of Mr.

Cia's compromises. They nre such compromises as the wolf offers to the lamb, or tho vulture to the dove. They make the rightful admission of California into ihe Union, with ber free constitution, contingent upon o-pening the new torrilory In slavery they raiily one part of ihe predatory claim of propose lo give her millions for the other pail; ihey give an unconditional veto to the biato ol Maryland, and lo the citizens of the District ol Columbia, over nn unanimous vole of both Houses of Congress, even when approved by the President in connexion with Mr. Butler's bill and Mr. Mason's amendments, they ex pose our white citizens to grevjous penalties and imprisonments for ii' do ng what theSupnmj Court of the United Stales has decided they are not bound lo do i'i relation lo fugitive slaves, and our colored citizens to being kidnapped ond spirited nwny into bondage and they loroclose in favor of the South the disputed question ol ihe inter-state commerco in sluves.

In one pnrticnlnr only, do they appear to concede anything to Northern or Northern convictions, or Northern feeling Thoy propose to transfer the District of Columbia slave trade across nn ideal line into Virginia or into Maryland, thai iho slave planter or slave trader, when he comes to our American Congo to replon ish his stock of human cattle, shnll be o- bligod logon mile or two to the slave marls, instead of walking down Pennsyl vania Avenue. 1 deem this to be no con cession. If it is honorable to produce corn and cation, it is honorable to buy and solllhem aid if it is honorable to hold Beings created in God's image in slavery, it is honorable to stand between the pro, ducer and lo mako merchnn' disool tho bodies nnd the souls of men. Let this light of the Age be set upon hill (hat nil nations may behold it. I will refer to Mr.

Bell's resolutions no farther than to say lhat they propose Iho formation nf three slave stales out of what is now claimed by Texas one of which is to be admitted into the Uniont lorlhwilh as nn offset to Culiformo.

Mr.

Griswold wns born nl Goshen, Connecticut, October, 17fi0, and entered the Army ot the Revolution' in 1776, nt sixteen years of nge, composing a pnrt of the force by which Washington undertook to protect New York. He wns among thoe who were tnken prisoners nt thedeleat on Long Island in August. 1776 and was pincpd by Oie British on board the prison ship "Jersev," ft place which hns become ns famous for the nnd fatality of its inmates as the Black Hole" of Calcutin. The prisoners were generally committed to the care of Tories, who seemed to de light in rendering their confinement ns bitter as possiblo. The horrors of thoso prison hulks, where soldier wpre cram' med together in the hold, like hoes on the deck of the steamer, without air, exetC'so, or sufficient food, and whfero filth, starvation, cruelty, and disease, bore down to gether upon tho human constitution, have not been eiTuced from the American imnd by the lapse of seventy four yenrs.

Mr. Griswold was three months on board of the worst of them, the "Jersev." The Brilish had nt that lime about HOOO prisoners, of whom 1500 died, and the re mainder when exchanged, were enfeebled so as to be of little service to the armv.

However, ns the services of ihe Sunday School progressed, ihey gradually yielded obedience, and tho policemen who had been summoned to nt-lend, hud nothing to do.
