the 9pOWers that be- ~ has been inSaria-
bly, frustrated by che action OF corrupt
Black Republican leaders, as In the csse Of
the Convention lately held in Columbus :
July I3th-which was compoSed Of set
of self selected delegates, actuated by no
higher motives than the appropriation to
themselves of the contents Of the public
treasury; who are ever ptating Of their own
immaculate patriotism while dealing in tho
"glittering geueralities" Of negro hvmapi.
tariauism. Their motives are too transpa.
rent to escape the sNgacity Of the mosr or
dinary intellect.
These men, no doubt, desire political
success, and. as their history sbundandy
proves. win leave NO means untr:ed to Sc
cure it. They desire success, not so much
for the benefit which it may bestow upon
the people at large, as for the peculiar ad-
vantages which il will confer upon the
readers and wirepullers Of the Black Re-.
publican party alone. II not. why is it
that they have, by the character Of the cal
and proceedings of the Convention Of the
18th. ostracised allthe Democratic elements
in the State, which would gladly affiliate
with any respectable party. to curb the
arrogant. unblushing corruption Of the
Democratic party? Why is it that they
would force down the unwilling throsts oi
Wings and Americans, the nauseous
draught Of Black Republicanism? II they
are honest ia their desireto curb the ca
reer of Democratic Lecomptonism. why
not emulate the example Of Pennsylvania
end New Jersey, in which States success
full efforts have been made to unite all those
sentiments adverse 10 the Administration?
But mol
In Ohio, we who desire the overthrow
of the Democratic party must, in order to
reach that result, indorse all the old and
new fans slrd fanatical principles of the Re
publicans-must climb the rickety plat
forms which they themselves had laid aside
in their political lumber rooms--or else be
driven to the necessity OF forming third
party of our own. Would it not be wise,
Mr.. Editor, for the people to call a Conven,
tion Of their own. to the end that all those
who are willing to indorse either the Dem
|oeratic or Republican parties may have an
opportunity Of expressing. by their votes al
the polls, their hostility to the principles oI
either. Such call, 1 am sure, wauld be
generally responded to, and |, for one,

THE PEOPLE.
We publish the above by request. We
notice that Brother Beatty of the American
Democrat, publishes in his last No. the
platform adopted by the Republican party
last year and admonishing the good people
ofold Fairfield that they are bound necE
and heels tocarry out that anomalous in
strument. He says:
"For convenience of refersnce we re
publish tie Platform adopted by the Re
publican State Convention last year, which
was re affirmed by the Convention on III,
18th inst" tA.
II such had been the purpose Of the Con
veution. Why didn't they proclaim it il
plain english? and rot leave to Brothe
Beaty the onorous duty of explaining t
bis patrons the true import oftheir actiol
at Columbus?
Query: Why did the Convention refus
to pass resolu ton indorsing the action 9
the party in the last Congress? Why di
they strike out OF the 4th Resolution tn
words, WITHOUT IN ANY MANNER
COMPROMISING OUR POSITIONS

We guess Brother Beatty is becoming
| little dictatorial and wants to override tn
honest convictions of the concentrate
wisdom Of his party; If he has the concen
