The Convention which nominated Mr.I
Goegin ,signalised its intense admir- alton for
Mr.. John Minor Bolts by exhibit ons of heroA
whieh we have neye, seen edualled
BY common consent Mr.. Bolts was elevated
high above the heads of such able and clio.
quent hig leaders as Daniel, Scott of Faus
qaier, Macfarlard and Witcher. Marks of
respect were showered upon him; his press
enee was Jailed with rounds of applause, and
he received all of those distinguished attens
ticns, which the Israelites bestowed for a time
event of the Convention, and was listened to
with intense delight and received with un-
bounded applause.
1t is especially important that the Virginia
Democracy should learn precisely the chars
acter of the Black Republican party, as Bolts
has boldly and impudently asserted that it is
a better party than that of which such states
men as Douglas, Wise; Hunter, Davis, tCass,
Lane, Breckenridge, Cobb and Mason are the
leaders. In his African Church speech, he
said, and the sentiment was loudly applauded
by the Convention:
Now / will be thankful to every Democrat in the
State Who will help to elect Mr. Goggin. will not
only receive his vote, but thank him for it. Can
We succeed without it Can anybody believe that
e'can triumph if every Democrat stands firm and
votes for Letcher? Can any man expect to triumph
without the aid of the Democracy Thatis cut of
the question: and, if anything, IregGrd The Dem
ocracy as WORSE than the Black Republican party,
and its aid more objectionable (Applause.)
y With what face can Mr.. Goggin solicit
Democratic votes when the Convention which
nominated him applauded tie declaration
that party composed of A6olitionista, Frees
sellers, -Infidels and Disuuloni$ts is better
party than that great party now omuiponent
in the Southern States, and comprising with>
in its ranks many of the most conservative
and patriotic men Of the land?
Another bright light of the Black Repnb>
lican party is Joshua R. Giddinss. His de-
nunciations of the South would fill volumes,
but we only have room for the following
gem:
4 look forward to the day when there shall be a
servlle Instruction IN the South; when the black
man armed with British bayonets, and led on by
British officers, shall his freedom, and wage
a war of determination against his master; when
the orch of the incendiNry shall shall light up the
towns and cities of the South and blot the last
vestige of slavery. Aud though may not mock at
their calamity, and laugh when their fear COmeth,
yet will hail it the dawn OF political r1Een-
tum.'
As gentlemen and as Shareholders, the
Wings of Virginia. robably,are as much op,
posed to the leaders and opinions OF the Black
Republican party as ourselves. But, they
were SO far carried away and blinded by par
ty venom as to applaud and endorse the
speech of their leader who is willing to rex
ceive the aid Of and unite with the Black
Republicans in 1860. They did applaud the
following sentiment of Bots, as the report of
his speech shows. Mr.. Bots said:
1T has not been very long since gentleman some
what prominent in the ranks of the Democracy
whom met on the street, said to me, Mr Bolts, /
have question TO PROFOUND 10 yOu if you have
no objectiOnT Certainly nOt,sir. Il want to know,
says he, sit you are in favor OF coalition vi the
Black Republican party in the election of 1902
Nv good friend, said |, don't wish you TO mis-
understand me wish to say that if there
State in this Union composed of free negroes and
the Constitution gave them the right TO vote,
wouid be much obliged to them to help me to elect
our party Laughter and ePplause.l
The declaration of willingness to form
a coalition with the Black Republican party
in 1861 was aPPlauded by 'one thousand
Wing delegates and not one voice was lifted
to denounce Bolts as he deserved. They did
more than applaud the speech of M, Bolts.
They unanimously and enthusiastically solic-
tied Bolts to canvass the State in behalf of
Goggin.
Horace Greeley is the pilot of the disunion
craft of which Seward, Giddings, Banks,
Wade, Sumner and Chase are the officers
His intense aud feTooious hatred of the South
is as notorious as that of Garrison. He thus
mildly opposed the passage of the Mel raska
act, which Bolts also bitterly opposed-re-
Pealng the Missouri Compromises:
I'VE urge, therefore uIbending, determination on
the part of the Northern members hostile to this in
toerable outrage, and demand of them, in behalf
OF peace, In behalf OF freedom in hehalf of Justice
and humanity, resistance the last. Better that
confusion should ensue-better that discord should
reign III the national COunsels-better that Con-
gress should break up in wild disorder-nav bet
ter should blaze by the torch of the lncendiary or
fall and bury all its inmates beneath its crumLling
rrlnS' than that this perfdy and wrong should be
finally accomplished.
benjamin +. Wade, now U. S. Senator
from Ohio, and a leader of the Republican
party says:
He thought there was but one issue before the
people, and that was the question of American
slavery. He said the Wing party is not only dead
but stinks. 1t shows signs occasionally of convul-
sTe spasms, as is sometimes exhibited in the dead
snakes tail after the head and body had been
buried.
There is really no union now between the North
and the South and be believed no two nations upon
the earth entertained feelings of bitter rancor to-
wards each other, than these two nations If the
Republic The only salvation of the Union, there's
fore was to be found in divesting it entirely from
all faint of slavery
