Politics certainly make strange bed-fellows-
Among the Black Republicans there are many
persons who, in the relations Of private life, are
respectable-who are honest and fair-dealing--
who support their families, go to church, pay
their pew rent, and demean themselves with
moral and social propriety. And yet strange
to behold, these individuals may be seen in a
political association, ''cheek by jowl," with the
very refuse of society, the convicted adulterer,
the countereiter, the official delinquent, and ev
cry other species ofthe criminal and knave, who,
by their pretended embrace of Black Republi-
canism, become Immediately purged of all their
sins and crimesl
What more disgusting spectacle was ever
exhibited than that which shocked every good
and virtuous man in society, when moral and
respectable citizens turned out in large numbers
and greeted with great cordiality j. II. Lane,
who had just been convicted of one of the ba-
sest crimes against humanity and Christian So
ciety-that of abandoning his wife and children
while he went about the country spouting about
the prosecutions and trials of the poor, il-used
women and children of Kansas? Did not the
respectable fathers and husbands of Cincinnati
blush, when they were brought in contact with
such dctestable hypocrite? Or, if not then,
did they not blush when they went home, and,
to the inquiries of their wives, were compelled
to answer that they had been listening to a
po,oertW speech from Colonel Lane the gallant
man who ran away from his wife and children,
and left them to starye?
! There, too, is Reeder, who was put out OF office
for trying to cheat the poor Indians out of their
lands, and for using his public authority to pro-
mote his private speculations, who went to Kan
sas with the intention of making it a slave
State, and declared that he would buy negro
as he went through Missouri; and went over to
the other side only when his swindling designs
were detected and exposed! To be associated
with such a specimen of official and personal in
tegrity must be highly gratifying to the honest
merchants and mechanics of Ohio, who have
been seduced into the Black Republican
ranks!
We have still another example of Black Re.
publican virtue and morality in one Samuel N
Wood who has figured largely in the "Wars o
Kansas" which brought out, according to Sum
ner, such glorious deeds ofheroism and courage
! At a meeting recently held in Columbus, il
which the Governor of this State figured con,

n. Wood, who made a speech and read som,
letters which purported to be from his wife, bu

The following from the Democratic Messenger
published at Mt. Gilcad, in this State, gives u
some information in regard to Governor Chase
friend and confederate, which must be quit
gratifying to his "EXcellency:"
