Never, within the period of our recollection, has a nomination made by a State Convention been greeted with inure cordinlity by the people, than that which proclaimed Sp.Animy Ford as thu candidate for Governor. (Jen. Ford's name hna been long familiar to the people of Ohio. For twelve years or more, he has been the lric) and approved Legislator. W first made hisncquiiiutaiiccin (lie Legislature, where it was our fortune to he associated with him on one of the most important standing committees of the House of llepreMentalives. Asa coiuinit1eemnn he wan careful and aflxiduoua; na a legislator, enlightened and faithful. To such a degree did he poxnens these qualitien, that he has been continued, almost without nn uiteival, in one or the other branch of the Legislature, longer than any other man though representing a region of country proverbial fir frequently changing their pub-lie servants. IK hat discharged with signal success the duties of Speaker in both branches of the Legisla ture to which ho has been repeatedly elected. And where, by reason of his political opponents' having a majority in the House of which he was a member, he has not tilled the Speaker s cluir, he has never foiled to he on some of the most laborious and important committees mid has never failed in the faithful discharge of the duties devolved upon him. Such is Skabiiky Foiin, the Wlngiiuiuiriec for Governor. The more he ia known, the higher will he be appreciated by hi fello w-eitilens. Tlie Lditor of the Lebanon Star, who served in the Senate with Geii. Fohii, heor the following leatimo ny to his sterling worth : SKA HUH Y FOKD, of Geauga county, is the Whig candidate for Governor.

Many will hear of him for llie first time, when they learn that he is their candidtte for Governor. A correspondent of the Cleveland Herald, curious in such matters, says he has " been looking a tittle into the reconls and can answer, he is a hard-money, sub IreiiHiiry, free-trade, pro-alavery, annexation Locoficn, of the straitest sect.

The Kditor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer recently went to Washington City, lo procure a fat job, in con sideration of the services he had rendered, and was expected to render the locofoco democratic parly, in times past, present and to come. And although In went hacked by very strong representations prepared by himself and endorsed by the captains and subal terns of his party in Northern Ohio "and although he was hacked by the locofoco delegation m Congress Irom Olno -just a his hopes were a-ripenittg, and hi beheld vision of dollars, the fruits of many a sacrifice of honor and principle just as he was about to enter upon the fruition of his reward poor man ! he was sent home rrt'tA ttflm in hit tar!

It ha since been demonstrated, that the President could not if lie would in his negotiations for more territory, enter into any agreement with Mexico either to inlreduce or prohibit slavery. It would b. Kensonnble Doubts. The editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Mr. John Hrough, has not an "ubidi ig confidence" that his party will succeed in this Slnte. At the recent Loco ibco feBlival in Washington city, he delivered a speech from which the following is clipped: For himself, he niched thtl this issue Tlhe Mexi can war might be stripped of alt entnnirling uUinnfttt and submitted, as lale it promised, to the people of Uluo, in the coining contest, bhouid ouch be the caae, ho would go into that contest with the moat abiding confidence thai the peopli of Ohio would vindi cate their own honor and patriotism, and arrny themselves, in a most triumphant manner, upon the aide of trie country. Well another Umie has been made by the 8th of January Convention il has placed the whole party in the attitude of apologists for the extension of slave territory. Now what becomes of Mr. Urough's confidence? " Of course it must give wav to the doubt which he expresses by implication, and remain in that doubtful slate until after the election, when the reality will burst upon him and upon the manager ol that gathering.thut the people of free Ohio are not content to sec the peculiar institution " usurping the ground of freedom, without a struggle to restrain it. Then he will learn thai no considerations of party policy will be suffered to weigh in llie scales against free soil, nnd hostility to human bondage. We think Mr. trough's doubt is a very reasonable one, and n very natural one also; and there are others in the party who are understood to have expressed the same want of confidence in the succesl of the party, Mince ils desertion of the interests of the North and llie interests of humanity, under a coward-fear of ollendtiig the South.

Mr. Lawrence presented a letiglhy protest, signed hy himself and several other member of the House, w hich wa enlcred on ihe Journal, against the passage of the hill to d i voire Horace P. Dunbar from his wit Marv Ann. for the eauw of insanity- The protest urtfes that if 1 1101 ity bo a good cause of divorce, it ihnll be so made bv a General taw ; but scarcely any nation had ever recognized insanity as a good general cause for divorce. The Superintendent of the Lunatio Asylum hac pronounced the ease of Mrs. Dunbar ae not absolutely incurable, though she is now confined in the Lunatic Asvlutit. The bill makes no provision for her support either present or prospective, and waa passed without the examination nf a single iworn wit-nets nnd with no orn-eiauiinalion on lite part of the injured and be I pie wile, Tht protect then argues at length 1st. That the bill violates a prirute contract that ol marriage, hy which the wife is entitled to the "aid and comfort " of her husband, to his protection and aupporl until denlh and to a share of his estate and earmngs; and that the bill, being in violation of these right, is unconstitutional and void : 2d. That Ihe passage of the bill is a violation of Judicial pourtr, and is therefore unconstitutional and void : yd. That ifconatitutionnl, the bill impair confidence in the relation of husband and wife, by adopting as a principle thai misfurtune and not crime or fault shall be cause of separation : 4th. That the court are the only proper place where divorces should be granted as a matter of policy, inasmuch a they could hear witnesses and examine fuel more accurately than the Legislature would. Thee positions were supported by numen.ua lf.raT authorities, and particularly a decision in Mo-soun where the supreme court of that Stale declare! a pe cial net of divorce unconstitutional and void. No ar guinent in favor of Legislative divorces could fairly le drawn here front the practice of the British Purlin mem, because thnt body exercised judicial as well r legislative power. The effect of the bill upon th right of the wife, if she was in fact hopelessly insane wa dinar. l run and unjuat. By a law of the Stan, oon as the Superintendent of Ihe Lunatic Asylun pronounced her hnoeleiilv insane, she must be sen to the jail of the county from which she came, ant there be confined with felon, unless she had friend to support her. This Legislature manifested its sympathy all in behalf of a man who was here to spenli for himself against a poor helpless woman who had no one to vindicate her. The protest, at considerable length, denied the expediency and validity of the bill Mr. Smith of Hamilton, objected to some portions ot the protest for instance, that Mrs. Dunbar was not hopelessly insane, that the passage of the divorce bill was a" Legislative condemnation ot Mrs. and thai the bill i tiiicutistiiuliuiiul. lie denied the truth of these assertion.
