We Ie3rn froin Ihe Liberty Herald that ihe Hoppe comroittees on petitions to susperjd labor on the public workson tho Snbbath, and to ollow townships to vote on the subject of licensing ifae sale of spirits i;avej)olh reported againsl the .measnres, and bolh repoHs Iiaw been concurred i. The Jatter subject was indefinitely postponed, by a vote of 40 to 13. The Solons of the House feired thnt tempernco and politics would be jun.bled tocetlier, 'tliey began to legislate upon the subject. The proceotfings of the State Liberty Conention are thus Hoticed by the Ohio Statesan, tho organ of Democracy:Ohio ABoí.morf Statb Convention. - This Convcniion aojourned late liist niglit, after nominan ng Judgr Ki.no, of Trumbull Co., for Governor, nnd adopting an electoral ticket for President and Vice President. The speakers in the convention denonnced t.'ic democrats witli much üiuerneis, but gove as the crédit of open and miinly wárlare, meeting the subject above board, Rn'd standing upon onr prnf'eisions; bir. the wh'tgs had plead "nol giiilty," and-had professed to be atheartss ?ood abolir onists as the Liberty me; andiov, as evidence rf their deceit and hypocri!y, they presented "Henry Clay," the head and front of slnvcry advócales, the Missouri compromiser, the Alendenhall denouncer, os he "ciubodiment of the vvhior pr.ncipies." - Vir. Ilutchins iikened ihem, in tbeir uooings of Jiberty men, to Polopher's wife, who held on to Joseph'f.s!irts, untilshe üierally tore off a part of hisclothinor; but, hke Joseph, ihey could not be seduced to commit crime - the crime of voting for iilr. Clay. 'l'hc Clay whigs present" looked white ns death on a palé horse, when their hypocrisy and double-dealinj were expeted to ihecule of the oudience; Tafce it akojretber, it was pretty rieh. 'fheir aUacks on the democrats were a matter of courae - neither auw norcurious.
