Convention, a iavorte son Of the Empire
State, represented the amendment which had
been rejected, aud briefly allnding in eloquent
language to the record Of the previous vote
and to the importance Of adopting the amend

members Il was opposed by a single voice
when the desire ior iis adoption became 40
manifest that other gentlcmeusss:who hadss in.

Il was agreed 70 by an almost unanimous
vote and the Republican party Of 1860 stands

Fellow citizens the Republicans now stand

barbarous Those who uphold Il are dcspots.
they violate the will Of God and tho rights of
men. Republicans will not support them in

| Is the language Of our platform 1t is the
language of truth and justice of civilization,
Of Christianity and if any man now or here
after, shall take away from the words Of our
platform, let his name be erased from that
roll Of Republicans, whose memories shall
hereafter twinkle and shine in the political
armament, as the stars now light up the heay-
ems above US,
Mr. GfDDHos then read an extract from one
of the speeches delivered by Mr.. LINCOLN, du-
ring the Illinois Senatorial canvass, and said
"These are the doctrines Of the RepubR-
can party They are the principles acotc-
ed at Philadelphia and noe stand repeated
IN the platform adopted at Chicago They
are fhe doctrines, which you, .tellolO citizens,
chcrish"
Upon the conclusion of Mr. GIDDNGs ad-
dress three resolutions were adopted The
first ratifyiDg the Chicago nominations the
second instrueting the delegates to the State
Convention ito use their influence and cast
their votes in favor of the nomination of Hon
JACOB DKNKERHoFF for reelection to the Of
fee of Judge of the Supreme Court and the
third pledging the party in Ashtabula county
ito work from now till tke elections in Octo-
Der and November as becomes true RepubE-
cans for the success of the party and its prin-
ciples.
| We have been thus lengthy in our extracts
in order that the people of Southern Ohio may
fully understand the position and doctrines of
the Republican party on the Reserve Some
hereabouts profess to believe that GIDDlNGs
does not represent the views of any number
of the party with which he acts, and deny that
he has either power or influence in the State
Convention of the party. The Convention at
Chicago, however, thought differently, for, dE
tea roting dorm his amendment, when it was
discovered that he would bolt the Convention,
they reconsidered the natter and in order to
get him back-to retain his influence and pow
rr for the Chicago nominees-ddOpted by a |
large rote the amendment to the report of the |
Committee on Resolutions, which the Conyen-
ton had previously voted down. If he has no
influence in the Republican ranks-if he is
not leader in the pary-why endeavor to
conciliate him, and adopt an amendment to
the platform which majority of the Conven-
ton were opposed to2 No. Let who will deny
it, there is not another man in this State, who
is so much the leader, the manager, and the
father of Republicanism in this State, as
JosHuA r. GIDDMGs Every Republican
State Convention, thus far held, furnishes proof
of this-gives evidence that GIDDIxGs and his
doctrines control the Republican party of the
Western Reserve, and that the Reserve con
trolls the State and the action at Chicago also
goes to show that he and his ultra views are
equally potent in the National Conventions of
that party.
