rect is in the full tide Of successful experiment
reckless Of the laws or the interference Of the
general government--S Springfield Republican
THE STATE CONVENTION at Columbus, was one
Of more than usual enthusiasm aud good feeling.
The attendance was numerous, every county in
the state having been fully represented by its
delegation, and many prominent Republicans
throughout the state were present Among
them were Thos. Corwin and L. d. Campbell.
Although the proceedings we're marked by q
degree Of earuestness and spirit the utmost har'
mony prevailed. The character Of the ticket
and the effect produced upon the party is such
rs to inspire confidence, and auger success. 1t
has also operated as a sedatve upon our OPP
ponents, who were endeavorng to manufacture
q little enthusiasm over the nomination Of Judge
Ranuy. 1t takes the starch out of them, and
their enthusiasm only reminds us Of the the laugh
that comes from under the ribs Of death,
The Convention was permanently organized
by the appointment Of Senator Wade as Presi-
dent, with Vice.P President from each of the
2l Congressional Districts j. II. Green OF
Hamilton County as Secretary, with half a do
zen assistants. while the Committee were out
deliberatiDg on organization, the Hon. Henry
S. Lane OF Indiana, by invitation, made stir
ring speech, abOunding in telling points, which
was received with enthusiastic applause.
Mr.. Wade, ou taking the chair, said that in
his Judgment this was one of the most impor-
tant assemblages ever convened in this State.
This Convention could not overrate its obliga
tions and responsibilities. lie admitted that
events had taken place calculated to disturb and
distract the Republican party. But he was
here to exhort to harmony. Every one must
sacrifice something of his individual opinions to
the general good. He then referred to the cen
tralizing and despotic tendency of the present
Administration, and alluded at length to the sub
ject of Slavery, because he found that the all
engrossing topic everywhere and because our
Government was devoted to its support aud pro-
lection to the neglect of every other interest
Up to the death of good old Gen. Taylor
Slavery was purely local institution, but since
then every effort has been made to make it ma
tional. The compromise of 1850 was the first
step, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
was the next, and the system adopted to force
Slavery upon Kansas the next
lie refuted the fiction that the Democratic
party was the peculiar friend of the adopted
citizen, and declared that the sole end and aim
of that party was niger They wanted Cuba
--more territory. They really wanted more
nggers. Wherever a nigger was, there Democ-
racy was and wherever he was not Democra-
cy was not. The foolish and extravagant Nor
mon and Paragay expeditions were reviewed,
and Mr. Wade closed by again thanking the
Convention for the honor they had conferred
upon him.
