The Wide-Awakes Of Columbus, Ohio, on Weines-
day celebrated F. P. Bairs election, by torchigbt
procession. After passing series of resolutions eulo
CYSTIC of Mr. Blair and the which he represents,
they marched the house of Gov Dennison, who re-
viewed Mr.. Blsirs political career in short speech.
TIE procession then moved to the residences Of ex-
Gov Chase and the Hon. Samuel Galloway, who alio
addressed them. We append the greater portion
Of Mr.. Chase's very eloquent and appropriate re-
marks:
"We have good cause my friends, to rejoice in this
resut. Mr.. Blair is no rare convert to Republican
principles. He avowed the Free-So1 faith which he
processes in 1913 after he returned from the
Mexican war, in which he served pr rate soldier
uuder Kean ey and Doniphan; and he has always,
under all crcum stances remained faithful to It, III
true he did not separate himself from the so-caled
Democratic party till since 1856; for he thought it his
duty 10 remain in it, and sustain Col. Benton in his
copest with the propagandsts of Slavery. But 1t is
within my knowledge that, in that year, 1856, after
bis first election to Congress 30 deep was his interest
in the success of the Republican cause, that he pro-
ed to resign his and devote his energies to the
promotion and support of the Frement electoral ticket
in Missouri. He only yielded this purpose in compi-
apce with the discussions and circumstances OF his
Republican friends. We also know that when he was
sgsin candidate, ia 1858, 1t avowed Repub-
lean. NomiDally defeated then, he appealed to the
House Of which, after full investigation,
decided that he bad been really elected by majority
of legal votes and awarded him the seat. Unwilling
to retain it, however with shadow of question upon
his right he resigned at the close OF the last session.
and carried his appeal to the people, That appeal has
resulted in the substantial triumph over which we re-
oiee; and venture the prediction that In the next
House of Representatives the Republican cause will
have no irIner adherent and the Administration OF
Abraham Lincoln no friend more faithful and no sup
porter more judcious than Frank Blair But, my
friends should especially rejoice in the election of
Mr. Blair for another reason. He is the first Republic
can Representative in Congress from Slave State.
dices which PIo-Slavery dsmsgogues have made it
their business to excite throughout the South against
Repubcanism and Republican principles and measures.
His election, we may hope, Is but the suspicious
beginning Of in the South, and indi-
Gates the restoration of the freedom-givng policy
of her noblest cons in the earlier days Of the
Republic, instead of the established Slavery propa-
eaDdis Of contracted spirits in these latter times.
We cannot easily overestmate the services which such
men ss Blair and Brown in Missouri Clay in Ken
lucky, Caldwell in Virginia and their noble associates
in their respective States have rendered and are rem.
deriDg to the cause of Freedom and Progress. Would
that could add this roll of noble that of the
generous and accomplished Davis of Maryland as an
avowed coworker and associate in the work OF bring
rg back the South to the faith and policy Of the fathers
of the Republic But must not det,n you my friends.
The theme extends too widely The rnges Of the vast
curtain which hides the future all luminous with
the glories of the coming day will not attempt to
lift i. Let only steadfastly maintain principles;
let ns sustain each other by generous sympathy and
cordial Appreciation; and in this spirit let us work
and wait The vail will rise: the future will be
oure."
