.The Republican Convention of 'Beaver
county, at its recent session to nominate
delegates to the State Convention, passed
the following resolution ; and we trust
that every county in the State, yet to
elect delegates, will be equally emphatic
- and politic in their platform instrootions.
The Republicansof the State can do no
better than to reiterate now the resolutions
of 1856:
Resaped, That our delegates be, and they
are hereby instructed, that in the formation
of any Platform or Resolution that may be
presented to the State Convention, to adhere
to the principles laid down in the platform
adopted by the National Convention of.the
Republican party in 1856, and to oppose any
and all infringements that mar be offered
thereto.
• ger The Rep iblicins of Ohio have
called a State Convention, to assemble at
Columbus on Thursday, the 2d day of
June neat, to nominate candidates for
Governor, :Lieutenant.° overno - r, Audifor,
Sebretary of State, Treasurer, -Supreme.
Court Judge, 31einher of the Board of
Public Works, and Commissioner of Com
mon Schools. The ratio of representa
tion will be one delegate to each 500 Tot
up for Judge Peck at the 'election of
1858, with an additionalslelegate for each
fraction over 250 votes. lu accordance
with thin rule, 'the Convention will be
composed of 361 members —N. Tri
/rune.
That is the trite Republican system of'.,
representation. If gOod for the State of
Ohio, why not for the County of Potter?
I thought last, winter, and I mill think,
that something of tins kind should be
done to equalize the representation in our
County Conventions.. It is too late for
the next`one, but if those who think the
present system is unequal, will attend the
next County Convention, I have no doubt
they can. secure n reasonable reconstruc
tion of the delegate system of this courq.

Vir The latest news from Europe is
that war is inevitable—that nearly all
Europe, together with Great Pintail), is
going into the customary busi AM of butch
ering each others' soldiers. The Italian
States are now the bone of contention be
tween France and 'Austria, and will ulti
mately embrace a renewal of . the Russo-
Turkish difficulties. France cannot ad
mit of a continued peace without the
danger of local revolution,—Sardinia re
fuses the yoke of the Austro-Papacy, and
France-and England back her in" her re
bellion; while the German States come
to the aid pf Austria. , Russia hai form
ed an offensive and defensive treaty of alli
once with France. .
American farmers may now hold up
their heads for large crops and high prices.
We have no doubt that the agents-of the
belligerents are already in our chief cities,
mating conti'acts for rain &0., for the
war. The 2* Y, Tribune urges upon
American farmers the necessity of plant-.
ing to the, tullest extent of their capacity,
in view of the prospective .demand for
breadstuffs. We urge upon our farmers
to plAnt, because every bushel of grain
raised in our,ccunty now is so nluch cash
in the hands of the raiser—saved "from the
necissity of purchasing. Pl4nt, farmers

logic of Mr. Graham (Sickles' counsel,)
he is , bound to act the part of the execu

and children of themselves, SURDOLY to

bound or free, whose wife or daughter is
delrauched by one of the dominant race—
whether he be his 'owner' or net—is
bound - to execute upon the transgressor
this_ same Divine law against adultery
