The Ab6IIISn Candidate iOr
Governor.

General Jacob ID. Cox, eof Trumbull
County. Is the candidate of The Abolition
party Of Ohio for Governor lie was
nominated in the convention by acclams-
tion, there being no opposing candidate.
We do not recollect ever to have
heard Of General Cox previous to the war,
except that he served one term in tho Le-
gislature some years ago. In the army
he holds the rank Of Major General Of
Volunteers. During the war we are not
aware that he ever distinguished himself
as n military man, but we believe he pos
sasses the negative reputation of being an
unobiectionable officer.
In his political opinions he belongs TO
the Western Reserve class of ultras, whose
leading idea has always been the abolition
Of slavery and the elevation Of the negro
to social and political equality. Poll
ticians of this school will find in him fit
representative Of their peculiar dogmas,
"negro suffrage" and all. AS to his ad-
ministrstive ability we know nothing de-
fnitely. We presume, like that of sew
eral Of his immediate predecessors Of the
obolitiou persuasion, it is not Of the high
est order; but that makes no difference to
his marty followets. Superior qualifca-
tions in an executive officer, in these
times, amount TO but little in their esti-
nation, so long as the incumbent can be
made the plant instrument to carry out
the peculiar policy orthose who elect him.
That the abolition nominee. in the present
case, viii fully answer this purpose, we
have no doubt. and for that reason will
receive the votes Of the party from which
he received his nomination

Escape of Brecklnrldge.

The Havana correspondent of the New

his party were near Davis when he was
captured, but they eluded the vigilance of
the Federal troops. They arrived at the
coast, secured small boat and put to sea,
arriving at Cardenas on the l1th, after
three days and nights passed almost with
ont eating. At Cardenas they were seren-
AIDED, and received marked attention from
the Spanish government and people. They
expected to remain in Havana for some
time.

We observe by the proceedings. OF the

man was very unceremoniously cast over
board in making a nomination for State
Treasurer. lie was nominated three years
ago and elected, having left the Demo-
cratic party for the sake of getting an Office
from the Abolitionsts. 1t seems they have
no further use for him, and have placed
him out in the cold to take care of him
self. They served Tod and Brough in
