"snd money. to aid ibe Kansas. .revolu,ioni.ts.' -
We are sorry our neighbor made use of
that language. 1t 10 so pslpably in conflict
with the facts in the case. Who told him
it was to raise men for Ksnsssl Surely, he
did not learn il from the "call," for there Il.
nothing therein to be construed into that
Why then say col For nothing else under
the sun than to throw the Kansas aid move
ment intoadisrepute, by srepresenta tations.- -
If he tells nothing but TIE truth about it we
fear not. We refer our neighbor to another
column to see how the meeting was conduc-
ted, and what they did do.
But still further, this Gazette article goes,
and still more puerile. The Republican
party is to be made responsible for petition
to dissolve the Union which was presented TO
the Legislature few weeks ago, by little
knot of disunion fanatics up in Columbiana
county. The editor is particularly careful
not to inform his readers of the fate Of that
petition. 1t was referred to a Committee,
which decided it to be reasonable, and re-
prehensible.
.'-~s have th'ss far glanced at the main
points in the Gazetfes article of last weeh,

THE pftLApEtpuIA CoNvEETIoN--The
New York Times gives the details OF an in
| eresting portion OF the proceedings Of that
body which we give as a matter OF justice
to the Ohio delegation, and TO the imme-
Iiate parties concerned:
"Mr. r. M1.{75rwine proposed the follow
ing az a ssbs Re for Section 8 and 2 Of
the Platform Vhat was adopted, viz:
"The unqualified recognition and main
enance of the reserved rights Of the several
States, and the cult ivation Of harmony and
fraternal good will between the citizens Of
the several States, and the preservation
alike of pubic and private trust faith, and
to this end we declare, a. a cardinal prin-
cipe Of onr Platform, that the repeal of.the
Missouri Compromise was an infraction OF
the plghted faith Of the nation, and that it
should be restored; and If efforts 10 that
end should fail, Congress should refuse to
admit into the Union any State tolerating
Slavery which shall be formed out of any
portion of the Territory embraced under
that Compromise "
II was read, seconded and handed to the
Secretary. And then Mr.. Corpin moved an
adjournment in acceptance with his promise
to the House. At tie meeting, in the af-
ternoon, Mr.. Corwin asked that his proPo-
sition might be considerep, but the Chair
said he had ruled it gut Of order AUD
would not entertsin iR R~DRttpsf..-.Mt
Danenhower's call for the previous question
was the only matter before the House.
Mr.. Corwine appealed from the ruling o
the Chair. But the Chair was sustained by
a vote of lOT to SO, and the previous ques'
tion was taken-thus cutting off debate and
all other propositions; and thue this Coun-
Gil, SO far as it could do 4, consigned to itt
long sleep the great question Of the day,
and virtually indorsed the most unblushiog
swindle in modern legislation. This wa'
brought about by union Of New York
New Jersey, some votes from Illinois, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, and all from the Slave
holding States.

remove to this territory early in the spring
He will locate in the neighborhood of At

intention Of Gen. Atchison to engage in
farming, and for that purpose he will bring
with him number of slaves. Many of his

capitalists and large shareholders, and their
settlement in this section Of the Territory

@The Ohio Legislature spent the 32d
of February in Cine innati. We are sorry
for this. The people of the State will
bring their servants 10 a rigid account for
oil such performances. 1t is spending the

valuable time, and ..all for nought. We
here utter our disapproval of the excursion
and ::hope a Republican Legislature will
never be guilty Of the like again.

Republican National Convention

We regard the character, and spirit OF
the Pittsburg Convention OF the 23d ult.
as one of the most cheering signs of the
times. Every thing considered it was one
of the best political Conventions this coun-
try ever saw. So far from being sectional
it was eminently National; there being re-
presentatves from every free State. eight
slave States, and some of the Territories
The Convention was presided over by a
conference.-the venerable Francis p. Blair,
of Maryland, the confidential friend of Gen
Jackson. Horace Grsely very forcbly re.
marks of the Convention:-
Yet the fact that, in the dead of an in
clement Winter, when no nominations
were to be made and no dispensers tof pa
tronsge to be propitiated, euery Free State
eight Of the Slsve States, and the most impor.
tant of the Territories, were represented in
q preliminary convention Of the Republican
party, is in itself a sweeping answer to
The miserable babble which stigmatzes oul
objects as "sec tional" and our organization
as a sectional party.
The speeches in the Convention were o.
the highest order, aad some of the first
men Of the country were in its session.
The next Convention of the Republican
party will meet in the cityyof Philadelphia
on the 18th day of June, being the slst
anniversary Of the battle Of Bunker HILL
Again we say VIC regard this meeting az
one of the most cheering signs of the times,
and one which encourages the friends OF
slavery restriction to labor on-labor for
ever!

The following protest, signed by all those
who voted lfor George Law land Samuel

PROTEST.
We, a portion Of the Delegates to the
National American Convention from the
State Of New York, protest against the
Presidential nomination made BY that Con-
vention, upon the following grounds:
1st. The nominee is not a member Of
the American party. He has never been
inside of Council-room, and no act OF hi,
life, no word spoken, Ior line written by
him of which we have any knowledge, in
dicstes that he sympathlses with that party
or that he uol,d carry out its principles.
I'd. His nomination we regard as an utter
betrayal of the great American movement
IA traitorous attempt to wrest 1t from its
purpose, end make i minister to the selfish
ambition of the leadefs-s=a demsgogues of
the aead organization of the past.
I'd. He was forced upon the State Of
New York by Southern votes against the
wish Of our State delegates, aud from those
States which no man ,preten can carry
their vote for an American President.
4th. He was forced upon the State of
New York against the express wish of a
majority OF the State officers, and we re-
peat, against the express wish of two thirds
of our delegates in the Convention.
9th. He was not nominated by majori-
ty of the States. Several States were per-
mitted to cast their votes through single
delegate, who cast the whole number of
votes to which his State would have been
entitled. Such votes were Cast by parties
who had previously protested against the
proceedings and retired from the Conven-
I ton.

0TAlfrea Kelley, ESQ.,, having been &C.
cused in several of the Democratic prints
of the day, with having, some years since,
speculated in State stock, took occasion, a
few days !since, Withdrawing some remark.
in the Senate, to put the following qaietu,
to all such charges:--
ale had been accused Of selling many
years ago State stock at city cents on the
dollar and speculating on these stocks
This was an old stale falsehood long age
refuted. The stock alluded to was not sold
by him nor by his direction. It was so Id
by an institution to whom it had been
hypothe eatsd to raise money to pay the
interest on the State debt. The action ,ol
the Legislature proposing to abolish the
transfer Office IN N. Y, thereby violating
the plighted faith of the State, alarmed the
company with which this stock had been
pledged and they ordered the sale. He did
not know that the sale was to be- made in
time to prevent it, or he would have trav-
eled night and day to N. y, to preven.
the sals--for he knew that It was ordered
under = misapprehension as to the result
Of the, legislative action. He (Mr. K)
never bought or sold on his own account,
nor ever WAS the owner Of dollar Of the
State stock. At q period of great pscunisry
distress, when many States were failing 70
pay the interest on their public debts,
wsen the six per cent. stocks of New York
were selling in her own commercial me-
tropolis below par, then he had become in
dividually liable for the repayment Of mon.
ey borrowed to pay interest on the State
debt to an amount three times greater than
