Black Republican sIate COuven-
tiOn.
We give on our irst page, from the States
H'oH, pretty full account OF the late black re-
publican State Convention which convened al
Columbus on the l3lh inst. Not feeling very
well, and thinking that little recreation and
fun might do US good, we concluded we would
go to Columbus at that time and see the new
f'rce enacted, entitled-"Marrying a Know
Nothing and Negro together" The papers
had previously announced that his exrellency,
Hon. Thomas Coywin was to be a delegate
from Warren county, and it was supposed that
he would act the part Of groom" for Nation
al Sam;' while Joshua II. Gildings, who was q
delegate from Ashtabula county, would act as
bridesmaid for Miss "Dinah Sambo." Gid was
on hands to fulfil his part Of the contract, but
"back Tom" didn't appear. This somewhat
frustrated affairs, but the marriage was perform
ed pretty well notwithstanding by the conven
ton nominating for the Office Of Supreme Judge
/ Hon. w. Y. Beck, Of SeiotO county, gentle
man who has belonged, lever since the old whig
party died Out to National Sam and never
voted Il black republican ticket in his Lille. BE
! ing that he is nominated for Supreme Judge on
the black republican ticket, he may perhaps vote
it this ball for the first time. The rest Of the
ticket is black republican all over, and wouldn't
be anything else but black republican if they
could They may all be good clever fellows for
| what we know, and it is altogether probable
that they will do for the offices for which they
are nominated just as well as any other three
men that belongs to the opposition to the De-
mocracy, would do. sE
The convention was not very full. Some
counties were not represented at all, while
number Of other counties had but one or two
delegates when they were entitled to more
There was no enthusiasm in the Convention
whatever, only when old Gdding's name was
mentioned. A little explanation, however, will
account for that. 1t is pretty we'll known
throughout the State Ito all the black republi-
cans at least, for the thing has been pretty
well advertised in their press,) that this same
Gidding's has written romance, novel, or
whatever other name you choose to call it,
which is entitled -"The Exles of Florida" and
that the work is published by the well known
publishing house Of "Folett, Foster & Co., Of
Columbus. Well, the thing (for that is all it is)
has been out ofpreSs for some time, and had be-
fore this convention met, met with very dull
sola nd tofa of oGr "a
necessary that something should be done to
make the book go off This plan was agreed
upon: A lot Of lackeys were to be sent from
the Western Reserve and especially from Ashta-
bula county to the convention who at every
mention of Gddng's name were to raise great
big stamp and shout and before the noise would
subside an agent would stick himself up to ev.
cry person and say: Don't you want to buy
the "Exiles Of Florida" new work written by
the Hon. J. R. Giddings" BY keeping up
big noise at the bare mention Of Gidding's name,
and the opportunities of the book agents, few
Of the books were sold, but not enough to suit
the publishers and those most deeply interest
ell Another expedient was then resorted to,
and it was not bad, which was this: Bingham
had fun killing off time the best he could, and at
the close of his speech there was general
stamp and shout among the ackeys from Ash
tabula for "Giddings," "Giddings" Now was
the time for Bingham to act we'll his part, which
we are pleased to say he did to perfection
The shout for Giddings continued. The old
fellow walked up very deliberately towards the
stand amidst a general shout, with Bingham
Standing on the platform gazing intently on him
when Bingham excaned--"My fellow citizens.
my aged and respected colleague is now suffer
ing with one of those attacks which have seen
him have on two different occasions in another
place. but the letters that bind his tongue are
not the kind that bind the poor slave" The
shout that went up them was tremendous from
the Ashtabula lackeys, and Immediately every
man was greeted with-"Don't you wish, sir,
to purchase a new work written by Mr. Gid
dings, entitled ''The Exiles of Florida" The
work then went off pretty rapidly. This will
account for all the enthusiasm there was in the
convention. We might add that Gidding's
tongue was tied at that time just about as much
as Bingham's was; but this farce was necessary
to be enacted to make the "Exes of Florida"
sell.
| -Four speeches were made to the Convention
by Hons. j. A. Bingham, Caleb Il. Smith, B.
f. Stanton and B. F. Vale. They were all
full of ISLANDERS and Misrepresentation ofths
Democratic party, but the low, filthy, horny,
dirty, blackguard speech of the occasion was left
for the last one, which was repeated by that
miserable contemplate skunk, Ben Wade who
misrepresents in the Senate OF the United
States, the respectable portion Of the people f
Ohio. Had thi. miserable specimen of humani-
ty used such blackguard language as he used in
that convention, atany harem which he is sup
posed to visit in Washington City, he would
have been deliberately kicked out Of it. His
language was so obscene and vulgar, that there
is not q republican paper in the State that we
have seen Git may be however that Dick Hat
ton will uphold him in his paper this week by
calling his blackguardism amusing but what
denounces his speech as unbccoming and out OF
place, especially from dignifed United States
Senator.
Their platform, as will be seen by reading it
on our first page, amounts to nothing There
is not single principle proclaimed in it.. But
then it was necessary to have such o; platform
to keep in harmony with the other proceedings.
