Disunion Convention.

The Cleveland Plaindealer thus reports
the concluding performances Of The Disun-
ion Convention held al that place: 81,
The DrsuNIoN SPLuRGE AT CHAPIoN's
HALL. The small and sweet-scented
crowd:at Chapion's Hallhave,played out and
gone home. They got through last night,
after q gusty session Of two days. The
principal spouters Of the convention have
been Parker Pillsbury, the heir-apparent
Burleigh, heavy-hsaded and rather greasy
old fellow named Foss, sister Fostor and
one or two other powerful females whose
names we were unable TO learn, and sever
al talented niggers from New England. It
seems that Mr.. Watkins, colord man AMI
assistant editor of Fred, Douglas paper
ventured 10 remark yesterday afternoon that
the convention was going little too far,
and the unfortunate Watkins was pitched
into by all hands last evening. VIM. Wells,
brown, first walked into the unhappy Wat
kins; Sister Jones then came up to the
scratch, and, fguratively speaking, dealt the
ill-starred Watkins sockdolager on the
smeller; aud the fat and greasy Foss OF
New Hampshire FINISHED" the wretched
Watkins. Mr.. Foss rolled upon the stand
and told the audience that he was 'rough."
He then said he wasn't "polish." These
jocular observations being received with
great applause and laughter, Mr.. Foss
went in. After finishing the unhappy
Watkins, he talked oonfidentially with his
friends the Republicans; and it was matter
of surprise TO Mr.. Foss (and it certainly is
TO us) why the Republicans were not with
the Disunionists in this convention. II
must be, Foss said, that there were hypoc-
rites in the Republican party. Mr.. Foss
then proceeded TO UNANIMOUSLY abuse The
name and memory Of George Washington.
We are glad to say that some Kisses were
heard amidst the applause which greeted
these dirty remarks. He-Foss wanted
the Union dissolved right off. He wanted
to see fires spring up in the South-wantcd
to see the mansions Of shareholders on fire
and dark, noble forms meaning the niggers)
stalking around. with knives, beheadine
white men! This delightful picture pleased
the virtuous Foss, and he laughed bolster
ously, and rubbed his hands with frantic
gee after he had painted it.
The next speaker was Charles Red.

of the gallery requested Charles Redmond
TO dry up" Redmond savagely declined tc
either sit down or dry up, and proceeded
to make a terrific speech. 1t was evident

dare aspire to. Sister Foster arose and
vOuched for the truth of this statement
Redmond would up by desiring 10 see al
immediate wind up of the Union.
A frosty-headed old gentleman in specta
cles was the last speaker. When ~ lef
he was dissecting, as he termed it III,

The resolutions adopted by the conven

principal movers in this convention, es
peoially Foss, were ardent supporters o

vass of last fall.
