Boilers, Convention.

1t was predicted that the 9th of August
would be memorable day in the political
history of Ohio. On that day, there was
to be an immense mass meeting at Colum,
bus which was to strike terror into the Re.
publican cohort and play smash generally
Had it not been proclaimed in cellars aud
upon the house tops, that the day was
drawing night? Did not Pap Taylor sound
it forth with his rams horn? Were not a
great number to go up on that day, and
utter one loud boo-hoo that should be heard
to the fartherest corners of the land p
Were there not TO be provided. plasters for
weak backs, and salves fer sore heads, and
balm for all the wounded?
Well, the 9th of August came. About
one hundred pro-slavery Anti-Republican
politicians met in "mass" convention. The
immense mass took sweet counsel together.
Geiger was there, rich in political expert
ence familiar with the miry places of politics
hHself a striking example of how far a
politician may sink withouttouching bottom.
Was not incousolable Pap there? Was he
too not rich in has experiences Did not
his bowels yearn for better things than were
accorded to him al the late municipal elel-
ton? How ungrateful his own pet "mass''
convention did not so much as mention bis
name in connection with Office.
The long agony is over. The sequel is
amusing at least Old Father Trimble is
the man for the times. We hope he is not
fossiliferous. No doubt be has back bone
though it may be little bent. We shall
speak reVerently Of him. He was an old
man as far back as we can remember. OF
his anteceden,s we cannot speak. We are
not familiar with the pre-Adamite age
The country will no doubt have rest now.
What is the name of the new party-is it
"bare bones" or old bones? Is it party
with a bone in the back or not?

Proficiency nj YEest Point

We recently heard, from the lips of one
Of the Board of Visitors at West Point q
fact which illustrates the remarkable pro.
ticiency of the pupils Of the institution, moi
only in their studies, but in the practical
part of military duty. The annual examin-
alton this year lasted seventeen days, and
it is customary at the close of each day for
the students to give q practical illustration
Of the science upon which they have been
examined. Thus, when the examination
of the day was upon gunnery there would
be practice with the guns at the close; mil
itary movements would be illustrated by the
cadets acting as crops, and the art Of
horsemauship would be practically exempi
fed by exercises in the riding school, DC.
On one day there had been an examination
in engieering and road building, and the
Board of Visitors were invited to proceed
to the river at half-past FIVE in the after
noon, to witness a practical Illustration Of
the examination. At the word Of command
the cadets Hsoceedeed to construct bridge
fIom timber prepared for the purpose, and
in twenty-four minutes one one hundred
and fifty feet long, extending intO th Iud-
sou, and resting on pontoons where the
water was deep, had been puttogether and
made passable for artillery and troops
The cadets were then required to take up
the bridge The bridge was taken down
and the various timbers of which il was
composed piled up in an orderly manner,
so as to be ready to put up again in sn
equally short space of time. This was ac-
compIished in exactly nine minutes. Upon
inquiry it was ascertained that the bridge
used upon this occasion was one which was
in the train of Gen. Scott, in bis celebrated
march to the city Of Mexico.

Going-Going-Not Conc.

Washington, Aug 10.
Wilson Sannon, Ex- Governor of Ohio, a
member of the late Congress from that
State, and supporter of the Kansas Ne
braska Bill, has been appointed Governor ol
Kansas-Yice Dawson declined.
Says the Cleveland Herald: "This is
the telegraphic announcement. There is
no Executive coin so available as this Kau-
sas GoyernOrship. We should not be sur
prised if Pierce paid off the whole unpro-
yided crops OF Northern dough nuts with
this currency. A bad bank note goes a
good way farther than current one. for
every man pays out his current funds, and
the President running around with thi;
Goycruorship in bis hand sticks it under the
nose of his unpaid off toadies. We heard
of man who lived for weeks on the credit
obtained BY displaying daily thousand
dollar note which nobody could "break,
and thus Pierce tenders payment for the
dirty job done for him by pulling out tbi'
Governorship which nobody will take
WILSON SHANNON, however, we are dispos
ed to think, will accept. He will even take
old clothes, for, as he cannot retain cas-
longer at home, he is not to be particular
about his wardrobe abroad.

re- VIM. Walker, half breed Of the

cation and wealth, and who glories in hi:
Indian blood-is spoken of as candidate
for Congress in Kansas. The Territory
could not be better represented than by
Mr.. Walkers Louis Republican.
Mr.. WALKER would make an able, hon,

We take it that The editor of the Herald
is not aware that Mr.. WALKER is strong

North to depend upon if freedom should be

Arming for FreedOm.

The many and grieyous outrages to which
the actual residents of Kansas have been
subjected, have driven them to the forms-
ton of military companies for their protec-
zion. The Kansas Herald of Freedom says,
"the Hickory Point free State men are on
the alert; they have been subjected to the
most gross outrages, some of them three or
four times, and have organized military
company, and henceforth will protect each
other from foreign inUaders."
ANoTHER.-"We learn tha! military
company was organized on the Wakarusa,
near Blanton's, on Saturday last. A large
body Of free State men are settled there
about, and good material in abundance IS
to be had to make good company. They
have taken measures to arm themselves at
an early day. "Arm for freedoml" is the
word. What other portion of the territory
will follow the example of our Wauksrusa
friends?" Self-deferce is the first law Of
nature. They who would be free, them
selves must strike the blow.

The LouisviIIe MOB.

One of the widest and most infuriated
mobs, and the most terrible in the loss of
human life that has ever occurred in our
country, has lately been enacted in Louis
vile, Ky, the details of which are shock
ing. All accounts which we have seen are
very prejudiced, and One-sided, charging
the blame of creating and continuing the
bloody conflict directly upon the American
party, or the foreigners. The statement by
the Louisville Journal, will be found on the
fourth page of our paper, that paper asserts
that foreigners were the first aggressOrs,
and the native citizens of LOUISVILLE were
forced to repel their attacks by resorting
TO the most desperate means. We have
not the least doubt that both sides were in
the wrong Had there been one half the
effort TO prevent disturbance, that there
was to quell the mob, after it had become
maddened and infuriated by blood, there
would not have been this slckenIng detail
of murdered citizens, pillaged and burned
cdifces to record There is fearful re-
sponsibi!ily resting upon some of the peo-
pie of that city. Who, we will not pretend
to say. But one fact is self-evident; for
several days it was anticipated that row
would take place on election day; and had
The necessary precautions been taken, the
name of Kentucky would not have been
thus disgraced. When the matter shall
have been legally investigated the truth
as to the origin of the disturbance may be
brought out but at present it is charged
by each party respectively upon its oppO-
nents.

Senatorial Convention.

Republican Senatorial Convention.
The following suggestion in the Sandus-
ky Register, meets our views exactly; let
the Convention be accordingly so held:
We have received communication from
the Central Committee Of Sandusky, By
its Chairman, suggesting that the District
Convention for the nomination Of a suitable
candidate for Senator be held at Clyde on
Thursday the 1871 of September neat, at
such an hour as will permit delegates to
assemble by the regular Railroad trains
and asking the concurrence of the Central
Committee of this County in the sugges-
ton. On consultation, we are authorized
to say that the Central Committee Of Erie
County will concur; and it is believed the
consent of Huron and Ottawa Counties will
also be given.
As no plan Of representation has been
agreed upon, we take the liberty to suggest
that each County be entitled to one dele
gate for each one hundred votes cast there
IN for the Republican candidate for Judge
of the Supreme Court at the election Of
1854, and one additional for fraction over
fifty; which will give Huron %, Erie IL,
Sandusky 10 and Ottawa votes each, in
the Convention; leaving each county to ap-
portion the delegates to the several town
ships in a similar manner as fat as practi-
cable.

Yo,1 nra a Liar. Sir.

Not only do the slave holders kick and
cuff this Administration into perfect obedi-
ence, but t'when the President attempts to
give false reason for any of his acts, done
in compliance with the orders of bis owEers
has the lie thrust in his face.
The Washington Sentinel is the friend
and semi-official organ of the Administrs-
tion, and it thus hurls in the teeth of Mr..
PIERCE bis false excuse for The removal
Of Gov. REEDER. Mr. PIERCE may be call
GUS to the blows of his opponents, but when
friend Grams the lie down his throat the
dose must be bitter one for the President
to swallow Cleue Herald
1t will be remarked that the Administra-
places Gov Reeder's removal solely upon
the ground of bis interest in and connection
with land speculations. Now, we say that
the gravamen of his official offence vas in
the encouragement of the FreesoiIers, and
the improper treatment of the slovery''
emigration. We go farther, and say that
We think it not improbable We can show
that several members ofths Cabinet rested
their urgency for Gov. Reeder's removal
upon this ground only.
We fear therefore, it is not quite ingen-
ious in tie administration to have placed
their rebuke TO Governor Reeder upon the
ground it has done. We cannot believe
the administration has passed over the
graver for the lighter offence, and if it has
not, it would have given far greater NOR.
al force to its action, hadi frankly aYowed il.

Highland county, the residence of ex-
Governor TIMBbE, according to the following
extract does not bid fair to give him much
support:
A friend writes from Greenfield that
there is not the least shadow Of opposition
among the American party of old Madison
to the Republican nominees The Order
will go as one man for, "the ticket, the
whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket" !"
Our information from other parts of the
county is of the same character, almost
without exception. The factions movement
of few malcontents Of The Order for a sep
arate ticket, will fDd but little sympathy in
this quarter.-HIghland Meas.
HIGELASD CoUNrY If any L9cofoco or
boller flatters himself that there is going to
be any serious detection in the Republican
ranks Of Highland county, it becomes our
duty to notify him in season that be will be
sadly mistaken. The freemen Of that part
of Ohio regard thorough reform in our
State poliey, as well as vindicalion of the
dignity Of the North of too much impor,
tance to be FILTERED away to crafty the
spite or pro- Slavery desires Of li.tle cabal
