Tne Abolition State Convention.

The Ohio Statesman of May 26, thus
speaks of the Abolition Office holders Con
vention which met in Columbus on last We'd
nesday -" The State Convention of the
Miscegenation party of Ohio was held in
this city yesterday. The assemblage was
not large, and it was made up in par;--and
no inconsiderable part either, Of shoulder
straps, cotton spectators, shoddy contrac-
tors, office holders, ofice-2eckers, and the
like. The President, Col. Stanley, was in
full regimcntals" on this occasion, there be-
ing no rebels around He put on innumer-
able airs, and cracked his whip over the
Convention as if he were driving freed
men" {?} for the "Goyernment" on somc
Southern Plantation.
Luther Day, OF Portage County, was nom
mated for Judge of the Supreme Court for
the full term. This was a sensible perform
ance CA the part Of the Conyention-for the
Judge wall now act. until after the Election,
vita the party that nominated him for State
Senator one wcek after he left the Democra-
cy! William White, of Clarke, who now
holds the position by appointment received
the nomination for the long vacancy; and
Horace Wilder, Of Ashtabula, who is also on
the Bench by appointment, the nomination
for the short vacancy. The Convention,
profting by what we said about William
Henry Smith having all the brains, and
William Stanton all the hair-oil and neck-tie,
had the good sense to drop the latter in con-
nection with the Attorney -Generalship, and
nominate the former for Secretary Of State
Col. W. p Richardson, of Monroe, went
through with colors flying, for Attorney
General for. Comptroller of the Treasury,
the fight seemed IL be between those who
were in favor Of abolisling The Office and
those who wanted to keep the office for their
man. The latter won the race, and nomina-
ted Moses r, Bradley, of Fulton, who has
probahly never been heard Of before in CO.
lu1.bsas. Philip uerzie, of Auglai2e, and
Jamss Moore, Of Coshocton, were nomina-
ted for Members Of the Board of Public
Works.
John A. Bingham, of Harrison, and John
P. Biehn, of Brown, we're selected for Pres
idential Electors at large William Denni-
SON, David Tod, Columbus Delano, and G.
VoIney Dorsey, were elected Delegates at
Large, to the Lincoln Convention in Balti-
more; and James Louden John T. Shryock,
George 3. Senter, and S. 7. Worcester,
were appointed Alternates.
There was considerable anti-Lincoln ele-
ment in tie Convention; but those who
composed it were afraid to speak out "The
cohesive power of public plunder" was too
strong for them to resist, and they quietly
subgided without STRUGGLED
