Ohio Republican Convention.


The Republicans of Ohio met in Con-
vention last week, for the purpose of
nominating State ticket. They
adopted sound Republican platform
every plank being Lice OAK, of the
best quality. The Convention was ad-
dressed by Hon. Tom Corwin, in one
of his most brilliant speeches. He
also addressed the people in
the State House yard after the Conven-
ton had adjourned. The Convention
and the people were addressed, too. in
telling speeches, by Mr.. Dennison, the
Republican candidate for Governor
Mr.. Kirk, their candidate for Lieut..
Governor, and by Mr.. Giddings, Mr..
Stanton and Mr.. Carter, members OF
Congress. All passed off with the
most perfect harmony and good feel
ing, and the utmost confidence was
expressed that the ticket nominated

For Governor, William Dennison,
Jr., for Lieut.. Governor, Robert G.

THE RIGHT PosITIoN.-The Troy
Times talks to the Republican Press
about discussing the claims of different
gentlemen, in regard to the next Presi-
dency in the following manner: "The
Syracuse Journal" it says, "depreca-
ties all speculations and suggestions by
the Republican press in regard to the
next Presidency. Nonsense This
muzzling the press unler the rule of
party expediency is not Republication ;
it is rather political tyranny. We
would scorn to be such slave to party
as to surrender the right Of free dis
cussion in order to please the political
managers. We would compel the lat
ter to follow the free press, instead of
surrendering the press to their despot-
ism. That's our doctrine. 1t is the
duty of the independent journal to en-
tighten the mind about political princi-
pies and candidates. And if such can
vassing, conducted in proper spirit, kills
off candidates, then they are unable to
bear the ordeal of discussion, and
ought to be killed of. Muzzles are for
slaves, not for an enlightened free
press"

important.
The advices from Italy confirm the
capture of Palestro by the Sardinians.
King Victor Emanuel, commanded in

lantry. The Austrians twice endeav-
ored to retake Palestro, but were re-
pulsed after sanguinary encounters

ing the fight.
The Sandman troops were out
hanked on the right, when the Zouaves
came to the rescue and repulsed the
Austrians. The Austrian version oil
the battle has not been received. The
Austrians had retreated from Bobbio
and special telegram to the London
daily Neaos, dated Turin, Friday, June
Sd, says the Austrians were in full re-
treat across the Ticino. The French
headquarters were at Vcrcilli.
Garibaldi had been driven into the
mountains by the Austrian troops
General Tuban, who re-took Varez, but
a telegraphic dispatch, received via
Turin, states that Gen. Garibaldi
gathering reinforcements, returned and
surprising the Austrians, recaptured
Varez, and subsequently re-entercd

Lombardy was spreading rapidly.
Another fghttook place at Confrenza,

The AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.-The
Detroit Tribune says, Eighteen slave
holders at Enterprise, Mississippi, late
ly pledged themselves to buy 1000 ne
groes, at certain price per head, by
way of encouraging the re-opening of
the slave-trade. They referred, among
others, to Mr. Garland Goode, a COM
mission merchant of Mobile, as a COM
petent authority to prove their credit
as men of means. Mr.. Goode, not rel
ishing his name in connection with such
project, published card, declaring
that an unwarrantable liberty had been
taken with him, aud explicitly disavow-
ing all responsibility. The Mobile
Mercury has since published rejoin-
der from the eighteen planters, adj
dressed to Mr.. Goode, informing him
that all he had to do was to certify that
they were pecuniarily responsible for
their obligations, and taking the oppor-
tunity to express their views Oh the
African slaYe-trade more fully, they
consider the re-opening of that trade
as anecessity-morally, religiously, po-
litically and practically.

The Washington correspondent OF

with you, but believe the republicans

between the two great parties to-day
This is the opinion of "a shrewd Virgini

Nothern freemen already in Virginia
In town not Il Dozen miles from Wash

month ago voting for Goggin, but his
abuse of the Republicans lately disgust
ed them. and they agreed in a body to
stay from the polls. BY another gu
bernatorial election in Virginia the Re
publicans in the State will make them
selves tell as power"
In the city of Wheeling alone there
were four hundred Republicans who
staid away from the polls; and in
Western Virginia enough to have
given Goggin the majority for which

A High Compliment to the Michigan
Central Railroad.

Central Railroad.
The Chicago Times contains most
fattering and well-merited compliment
to the Michigan Central Railroad. 1t
states that san eminent civil engineer,
who has been engaged in railroads for
over % years, has just been examining
every department in the management
of this line. He delivered his opinion
to us personally, yesterday, to this eff
feet: that, in all his experience, he
never saw the details Of road so SIM
pllcified-never before saw the business
of so large corporation conducted
on better principles-conducted more
quietly or more thoroughly. Simplici-
fication, to those who can appreciate
the intricate minuti@ of railroad, is
probably one of the greatest achieve
ments in its management We there
fore congratulate Superintendent Rice
upon having won so handsome, and, at
the same time, so disinterested YER
dict, from gentleman eminently quail
flied to give an opinion upon the SUBJ
ject. Such facts, under existing cir
cumstances, must tend favorably to the
interests of the road, and enable it to
present as goodly an array of figures
as the others during the progression,
retrogression, and fuctuation of the
present contest"
In referring to this matter the Buffa-
10 Republic says /" one of the greatest
causes of the success of this road is.
that it raises it's own officers and en-
ployees-educating them thoroughly
from lower grades to those of distinc-
ton and responsibility. They are not
chosen from the higher classes of life
= froms among the relative of rich
stockholders-but earn their way up.
ward from merit. They have hundreds
of men now in their employ, who have
been on it since it came into the hands
of the present company, nearly fifteen
years ago, before its iron bands reached
half across the State. We often think
of this when we meet the old familiar
face of Captain Spaulding, their Gene
raj Agent, at Chicago, who was con-
nected with the road when the first train
started; and there are others-engine
drivers, conductors, baggagemen, dc.
whose faces are as familiar as guide
boards on long travelled road Rice,
Hurd, Hosmer, Frazer, Noble, and We
might mention many others, general
officers of the road, have grown up
with the road. No 70 I'd in the country
has had fewer changes, and to this may
be attributable, in great measure, its
success"
1t is undoubtedly true that the Gen.
trail is one of the very best managed
railroads in the United States, and GER
tainly no one is conducted upon more
straight forward and honorable fnan-
cial principles. Everything is fair and
square, and it moves on as smoothly
and unobtrusive in all its departments
as the most perfect piece of machinery.
The reason is stated above.-Dctroit

Let our readers carefully examine
the above bill of expenses which Uncle
Sam will have to foot, and then ask
themselves; What is all this for?
The history of this bill is just this !;
A human-fesh dealer in Kentucky
claimed to be the owner of man.
The man thus claimed as properly, con-
Guided in his own mind that he was en-
titled to the enjoyment of t" life, liberty
and happiness" and straightway start
cd to Canadaforthe purpose of enjoying
these blessings. Arriving..in the north
ern part of Ohio, he found men who
were willing to shield him from his
pursuers, and comfort him in his tribu-
lation. BY doing SO, the free men of
Ohio were indicted by the packed grand
jury of the United States Court, under
the Fugitive Slave law, convicted by a
packed petit jury, and Uncle Sam is
called on to foot the above small bill of
s24 900, all for the purpose of protect
ing a Kentucky slave dealer in his pre-
tended claim to the ownership of one
negro.
While all this was going on in the
free State of Ohio, slavehelding juries
throughout the South were engaged in
acquitting men engaged in the African
slave trade. And this is the spirit of
Democracy. Thousands Of dollars paid
for furnishing men under the Fugitive
Slave Law, and thousands of dollars
paid for acquitting men who violate
the laws prohibiting the African slave
trade. Thousands for Slavery, but not
one cent for Freedom!
