We learn from number of Black Re-
publican exchanges that full delegation
has been elected from Kentucky to the
Chicago Convention. A few weeks ago
these same papers tried to make people
believe that every man who dared to avow
the principle, of that party in Kentucky
was run out of the State, tarrcd and icath-
cred @c, We would wager pound of
wool that SO log as an Abolition Black
Republican behaves himself little better
than old John Brown did he would have
a better chance in any southern State than
n Southern man would have in Ashtabula

The Canal SwinslIc,

Our readers may not be fully aware Of
the villainous game played by the Black
Republicans in the Management Of the pub
lie works. a responsible company offer
ed to lease the canals for term Of years,
at 500, 900 per annum, keep them in good
repair and give ample security for the faith
ful performance of their part of the con-
tract. 1t is plainly seen that had this
offer been accepted tho Canals would have
been an annual source of revenue to the
State to tho amount of the rent, $50 900.
When we consider that they are usually
q tax instead of a source OF revenue we can
como to no other conclusion than that
this offer should have been accepted by
the Legislature. \ bill was introduced
for the purpose but it was voted down.
The appropriation bill passed by the
Republicans appropriated to tho Canals,
over and above their receipts, $2i 900,
for the purpose of keeping up REPAIRS
This added to the 500 900 that was offered
for them makes $4,000 Of u dead loss
TO the tax payers OF the State. 1t seems
strange that the State Legislature, whose
duty it is to protect the interests of the
people. should coolly swindlc them out OF
the enormous sum Of forty y-four thousand
dollars without any excuse Tor the act

Death Of WIN. Cost johnson.

This talented former Representative Of
the City of Baltimore in the Congress OF
the United States, died at Baltimore on
Saturday last. Mr.. JOINS ON was former
ly Wing, but like Henry CLAY, was
too honest to entertain sectional jeaIouses
or sectional isms. He consequently re-
fused to enter the Black Republican camp,
and became a consistent Democrat from
the time Of tho dissolution of the Wing
party.

BRIDGE FlLLEN-ONE MAN KILLED.
A new bridge across the Clear Fork OF
the Mohican river at Bellvile, Rchland
couGty, has been in process OF building
for some time past, at the expense of the
county. 1t is an iron bridge of recent
introduction, consisting o! one span OF
about fifty feet. On Tuesday noon OF
last week, while the workmen were ab-
sent at dinner, the bridge fell, carrying
with it three men who Were standing on it
at the time. Two of them managed to
get ashore, but the third man was wash
ed down the stream and drowned. His
name was Samuel Mcintyre, and he
leaves a wife and two children.
The fall of the bridge is attributed tc
the heavy rains which raised the water in

Cleveland, the Democracy are victorious
or have made heavy gains. The opposi'

accounted for on the ground that some

what it mas m0t Done, and what

- The Detroit Free Press says Abolition
ism has been agilating for more than thirty
years, and it has not made one negro free,
unless it has run him into Canada; it has
not made one foot Of soil free that would
not have been Otherwise; and slave proper
ty is more valuable to-day than it has ever
been before. But for Aboilionism, many
negroes would have been made free who
are still in servitude; several the slave
States would have plans of gradual manu-
mission, and slave property would have
been less valuable than it now is. ABB
olitionism has accomplished no good,
but world or mischief 1t has made
it necessary that greater dicipline should
be exercised in the government Of the
slaves; it has caused the free negroes to be
expelled from some of the Southern States,
and it will cause them to be expelled from
all the Others; and it has produced a state
of feeling between the South and North,
which, if it shall not be abated, will cause
the dismemberment Of the Union
