proceedings; but, Afterwards, before the nomina-
nations were finally made, seeded over again.
1t is thus clear that the reasons which they now
allege for not supporting the nomination are un-
true--frst because these boilers disregarded them
and set them aside, by going into the Nominating
Convention; and, seconly, as We have seen, De-
cause these void acts of the Council, in attempting
to introduce foreign issues, could not release them
from their obligation 10 accept the Domination,
when fairly made as this undeniably was IL ls
plain that the reasons Of the boilers are fraud,
because an after-thought; because cancelled by
their own subsequent act and BECAUSE in addi-
ton. they.were good for nothing as reasons for
their conduct besides all which, that conduct was
sch as no reasons at al could render anything less
than lawess and faithless.
They returned home, and ex-President Ford
summons at Columbus, for the goth instant, State
Council to ratfy these nulifying acts of the bolt
ers and these false reasons for them.
That Council assembled, accordingly, and found
itself large, packed with ayowed Republicans and
notorious Abolitionists. OF these drilled major
ity had been formed, with committees and a report
cut and dried--the latter already printed, and re-
commencing, in form, that the entire Order should
really go over TO the Republican party by repudi-
ating It's own nominations already made, and by
joining in those, whatever they may be, which the
Republican party are to make in. their convention
summoned to meet at Philadelphia on the l7th of
June next.
Besides all this, the ffty-fve delegates not par
ties TO this plot met yet another strange outrage
they found it predetermined that no debate should
be permitted that no one should be allowed to
speak more than five minutes, and that thus, in
effect, they had been summoned to pass upon the
conduct Of the boilers, without leave to examine
into it or to discuss i; ; and were to be dragged
into an overthrow of all the obligations and all the
ant nf fha Ord Uap rod am
For some six hours, courageously but with all
moderation they strove to move these false broth
ers from their disloyal purposes and to recall them
to their duty and their obligations by such appeals
as could be uttered. 1t was vain they were deaf
as adders to every adjuration. When we protest
ed against the gag, we we're told that every man
had come there with his mind made up; and when
we rected the solemn obligations which these men
were bent on violating, the Treasurer of the State,
who was nominated and elected to that Office as
An American, but was delegate to the late Re-
publican Convention at Pittsburgh, stood up and in
substance said that the obligation which they had
taken as Americans was in no manner binding;
which monstrous sentiment was camorously ap-
plauded by the whole body of these men who in
deed, throughout these proceedings, applauded
nothing but the rankest abolitionsm, or opinions
that turn perjury into a virtue.
"We, therefore, the delegates OF the Councils
of the American Order in Ohio, In State Council
assembled, fully approve of the action of those
delegates from Ohio in the National American
Council and Convention recently assembled at
Philadelphia, in refusing to accept the platform
support the nominations then and there made, and
we hereby repudiate those nominations and en-
brace this occasion to reafirm substantially the
platform adobted by the State Council at its session
in Cleveland in June last"
For this act of reputation and notification, no
reasons whatever were assigned. They thus in
Cured the necessary forfeiture of their charter and
the penalty of their violated obligations.
Whereupon, the President of the National Coun-
Gil suspended their functions and bestowed upon
the State Council now organized full, complete,
and exclusive jurisdiction throughout the State of
Ohio.
