On what Condition Judge GhOlsOn
Must Accept the Nomination.

Must Accept the Nomination.
We have now the authentic secret history OF
Swans defeat and Gholsons nomination. The
AshtabuIa Sentinel, the home organ of Joshua
r. Giddings, in its issue of Thursday last, has
a lengthy leader on the doings of the late Abo-
lition- Republican Convention. 1t tells the
whole story; and is what has been asserted by
the Democrrtic press. The leaders and mana-
gers-the wire -pullers OF the Convention-con-
cocted and settled the affair before the Conven-
ton met, the majority of the members thereof
being used as puppets to ratify what was done
by the wire-workers outside. The Convention
met on Thursday, and the whole of Wednes-
day previous and good part of its night were
occupied by the managers in securing the tri-
umph of the ultra. abolition element The ul-
ira Abolitionists offered the iudgcship to those
OF the Central or Southern portions Of the
State, provided they irould name RELIABLE man.
These latter named several, who were entirely
acceptible to "the more devoted friends Of Lib
erty''--ultra- a-AbolltIonists-bu they were al
ready in better positions they would not accept.
J Judge Gholson was finally named, "aad such as
suances Of his Pos1T1oN given" that ''the friends
of Freedomp--ultra AbolitioniSts--agreed to
accept him-on what conditions? Marx them,
reader! IF tie party ,oopld re-q6fm their ha-
hed Of The Fugitive Stare Lar, and JUDGE
.GHoLsoN ACCEPT THE NOMINATION WITH THE
EXAMPLE OF SWANS REPUTATION BEFORE
HIM"
Here is what the Sentinel says, among other
things:
"Through the whole of Wednesday, until
late at night, the contest was maintained with
frmness. Each party appeared confident
The radical Republicans offered the nomination
to those of the Central or Southern portions Of
the State, provided they would name a 'reBaUe'
man. Several named were entirely acceptable
to the more devoted friends of Liberty; but they
were already in better POSITIONS and would not
accept the nomination. Judge Gholson was
named and such assurances Of has position giver
that the friends Of Freeaoan agreed to accept hin
if the party should re-q6iym their hatred Of tbt
Fagitivs Slave Lom and Judge Gholson accep
the noninatiqn Nth the Example Of Stgan's 'epos-
diatjoa before him"
viii Judge Gholson read that over again?-
1t contains some Information very interesting
to him as a high-minded and independent gen
tleman. 1t is altogether reliable, for it comes
from Joshua R. Giddngs, who was the leader
Of the party that triumphed in the outdoor
struggle, and that controlled the Convention
and he is testifying of what came under his owl
observation, and Of what he took promnen
part in bringing about. Do you, Judge Ghol
son, accept the nomination, with the example
of Swans repudiation before your Cincinnati

FRANK p. BLAIR OF ST. LoUIs.-When
Frank Blair was stumping Minnesota, at the
close OF one of his meetings, the following
scene took place:
A gentleman in the audience rose and
said that it "had been charged in the Hunk
er press that Frank Blair himselfheld slaves"
and if he did not consider il an impertin-
enee, the audience would like to be enlight-
ened. Mr.. Blair replied that he was embar-
rassed to find that the Democracy would not
permit him TO form and regulate his own
domestic institutions in his own way, sub
ject to the constitution of the United States"
But while it was painful to him to be called
out upon matters SO entirely personal to him
self, there was nothing in that record which
he wished to conceal. Cheers. He said
he inherited slaves from kind and merciful
father, that he had purchased slaves himself,
but only to prevent the separation of fami-
lies, and ultimately TO free them. Great
applause. That he had emaneipated more
slaves than he now owned. Cheers. And
that he now only owned such as he was for
bidde:. to emancipate by the laws of Missou-
ri, they being either too old or too young to
take care of themselves. Here the audi
ence arose aud gave him three hearty cheers.
lie said that for four long years he had
fought the slave power uponits own ground,
carrying his life upon his sleeve for any ruff
fan TO pluck Off; that all his powers were
concentrated Ia the emancipation OF his ma
tive South from the chains of degradation
that bore her down, and that he expected to
live TO see Missouri free soil, the peaceful and
prosperouS abode of free men.
