A $40 Party" (RepuDllean) Convention.


The cry for month past in the mouth OF
every Republican blatherakite has been that
there was ''no party" any more; that all old par
ties we're absorbed in grand Union party;
that politics and party platforms were ignored;
and that henceforth nothing was to be thought
of or known among men in Ohio, but the reso-
lutte defence of the Stars and Stripes Indeed
IL has not been uncommon, since the lombard
meut of Fort Sumter, for men whose whole
hearts and souls, minds and strength, have been
employed for years in vigorous effort to es
tablish and maintain sectional party in Ohio;
who have sworn eternal hostility to slavery and
the fugitive slave law, and resolved, II their eff
forts could prevent IL, that that law should never
be executed in the State of Ohio, 10 approach
Democrats who have always stood by the Con-
stitution and the Union, and hypccritically ex-
claim, eve are very much reioiced to see the
Democracy so united, and glad to have them
;oin us In deienceof the Union!"
In view Of these things, II would be very nat
ural to suppose, IL the parties referred to we're
sincere In their professions Of loyalty to the
Union and the Constitution, that all party ma
chinery would be broken up and party organiza
tlons dissolved; aud that candidates for political
favor and Office would be permitted to 60 to
the people on their own merits.
Recent events show the hypocrisy aud hollow
heartedDess Of all these professions Of the cir
repressibles," and prove that they are deter
mined TO hold on to their Chicago Platform and
all other odious doctrines, the promulgation and
advocacy of which have had SO much to do in
precipitating the country into its present deplo-
rable condition.
On the 18th Of Mays regular Republican
convention was held in JoHs SHERMAs's district,
TO nominate party candidate to be supported
for Congress, to fill sHEHMAs's vacancy. On
the 18th Of May, another Republican convention
was held in CoRwir's district, to nominate
candidate for Congress, to supply the vacancy
in that district
In the 18th district the thing was conducted
with some considerable skill, and the ''no party
Republican managers put Judge WoRcEsrrR on
the track without much difficulty. 10 CoRwrS's
district it was otherwise, the proceedings,w which
are given ia detail In the Cincinnati Gazette,
being such as would disgrace set Of savages.
The scramble for the place was intense, and y

men who have not proffered their services to the

The only class of our artists who have
thus far, profted by the Southern rebellion, are
the sketchers for illustrated newspapers, who
have their hands full in drawing pictures OF
events which no human being could ever pos.
sibly have seen. II the public demand such
stimulants to their imagination, IL is doubted
whether the publishers Of illustrated papers will
find It profitable in the end to cater to such
bid tpste. During the Crimean war, The London
Illustrated Netos nearly doubled iis circulation
by giving authentic illustrations Of the events
Of he war, and, by the honesty and truthfulness
of its pictures, gained reputation which has
been Of enormous profit to the proprietors. A
misrepresentation by the pencil Is just as repre-.
hensible as misrepresentation by the pen, But
trutbfulness IL not deemed an essential quality
in an illustrating artist. ;ts-its

Cor THE LOAD LITTLE TOO HEAvY.-The
New York Commercial says that $4,000 stand
Of arms, which were reported as arriving from
Europeat New Orleans few days since, "would
weigh just about one thousand seven hundred
and fifty tons, exclusive OF the boxes; rather too
much dead weight with which to cross the ocean
In safety The Commercial believes, however,
that quantity Of arms was received. It says:

reported as having arrived at New Orleans were

The SOLDIERS OF l8l2.-The Buffalo Com

emrcial of late date contains the following:
We learn that Judge Turner, Of Rochester, a
man nearly 20 years Of age, who was an officer
serving on the frontier in the war Of 1879, con.
templates raising a company of old soldiers like
himself, who served in the same war, for action
in the present contest. An agent was dispatched
to Albany short time since to ascertain II such
a company would be accepted, but Gov. Morgan,
unable to decide the matter on his own respon'
sibilty, referred him to the Secretary Of War
at Washington. Thither he has therefore pro-
ceeded, and the result will be known In few
days. r1 r
Judge Turner, the proposed commander oi
the corps, is recognized as an excellent soldier,
aud has an extensive acquaintance in this city,
whence he expects to draw several of bic re.
cruits. He was with the forces near this point at
the time of the burning Of Buffalo, and subse-
quenty did duty further down the river.

The conviction of Mr.. Mires, the swlndl>
ing French banker, has already been an
nounced. A Paris letter in London paper
describes the manner in which the fallen
6nancier received his sentence:
While the sentence was being read the
agony OF Mires was so great that even those
whose feelings are hardened by the daily
task of passing severe judgments might have
thought society sufficiently avenged by the
sufferings be endured during that half hour.
Sometimes. as if to escape from them, he
clntched at the bars with both his shrvelled
hands, and sometimes let his head fall upon
the LETT arm, that lay stretched along the
balustrade, as if no longer able to support
its weight. When all was over he threw
bis hands over his head, and clasping them
tightly together gave utterance to incoher-
ent expressions of despair, and, to escape
from the gaze of SO many lockers on, rushed
towards the little door of the prisoners
waiting room, without seeming to Sc that
it was shut, while guards closed round to
secure him. His paleness afterwards became
so great that be appeared about to faint, but
presently he recovered his self possession,
took up his hat, and pressing it violently on
his head left the court guarded by some
policemen.
