The call of the Abolition Central Com.
mittee of Ross county, for Convention tt
appoint delegates to the State Convention
which convened at Columbus yesterday
contained the following language:
"The Union Executive Committee OF
Ohio having called Nominating Conven-
tion to meet in Columbus June q, 1865, the
voters of Ross county who were opposed to
the late rebellion, are requested to meet at
the City Hall, Chillicothe," sc. D" ..-,..i @ ...
This self-styled Union ~ Central Com
mittee had not sufficient wealth Of impu-
dence to declare in toords that the Democra-
cy of Ross county were in favor of the re-
bellion, but it insintates in the language OF
its call, that such was the case. 1t was well
apprised of the fact that Democrats would
not associate politically with negro equali-
zationists and miscegenationists, and en-
deavOred by inference, to fix the stigma of
..syWpathizers with the rebellion" on all
those who did not consider themselves quail
flied to participate in the extra-loyal con-
claye. The Committee knew when the
SANDER was put upon paper, that there are
no men in the county who were In favor of
the late rebellion, and its effort to create
that impression is deserving the supreme
contempt of honest, right-minded men of
all party persuasions.- ADDER

The Abolition State candidates are near

The candidate for Governor is. from Trum-
bull county; the candidate for Treasurer is
from Lorain; the candidate for Supreme
Judge, for the full term, is from Richland
county; the candidate for Attorney General
is from Logan county; the candidate for
School Commissioner is from Harrison; the
candidate for Board of Public Works is
from Coshocton-all being from North Of
the National road. 4-.l-.. .. ll-.-
The candidates from South of the National
road are three. The candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor is from Warren county; the
candidate for the Supreme Court for the
short term, is from Athens county; and the
candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court
is from Clinton county. Not only the i'm
portant candidates, but nearly all the
candidates are from North of the Ma
tional Road. The reason that more were
not taken from South of the National
Road may be attributed to the fact that the
people there have notye been well educa-
ted up on the question Of Negro equality.

aomeMhat singular.

Among the military delegates to the Con-
yention on the 2lst, there were men OF un-
doubted ability as public speakers. Gem
eral WOODS was the President OF the Com
yention. On taking the Chair as presiding
officer of the temporary Organization, ne
made aspeech, which we reported, (which
he indicated the propriety of indorsing the
Presidents reorganization" policy, and
of declaring in favor OF tempering
Justice with mercy. When the deliD-
erations of the Convention were over
when the nominations had been made and
the Platform had been adopted, and when
Gen. ScHENcK had said few words, Gen.
WOODS was loudly called to make afewre-
marks. His ear, however, was quick to
catch motion to adjourn, which he said
was always In order, and not debatable, and
therefore he put the motion, which ne pro-
nouliced carried. Not even the most indi-
rect reference did he make to the Ticket
that had been put in nomination, or to the
Platform which had been adopted. Itwould
not have taken him five minutes to have
said, in effect: .-'l r'1' i.lii ...''i ..l.
"Gentlemen: The work that you have to-
day done is we'll done. Your Ticket is ex-
cellent and your Platform is altogether sat
isfactory but as you have been kept In
session a long while in sweltering condi-
tion, without further remarks put the
question to adjourn" ~ HfiTs 1'H 90 gas
9 f - 80.
at night, when the people expected to
hear the "big guns" of the Convention,
neither Gen. Woons, nor any other militia
ry man, could be induced to make speech.
The only speakers for the occasion were
Mr.. SoHENCK and Senator JOHN SHERMAN,
who gave the people to understand they
were rugged issue men. Gov. IBRoUeH
found it convenient to be absent; Treasurer
DORSEY did not seek an opportunity to
speak; there was no man there to get up
and say that as "a' lifelong Democrat" 1t
afforded him infinite satisfaction to give
his support to the Ticket nominated and
Platform adopted. The men who spoke
ScHENcK and Senator SHERMAN-have been
lifelong traducers of Democrats and DEM
ocratic principles. They said not word
of commentator of the President or of
his. t" reorganization" policy. They did
not even "damn it with faint praise"
Was it for this reason that Gen. WOODS
and other military delegates to the Con-
vention. declined to speak, or is there
too much Negro equality in the Ticket and
in the Platform to suit them? "a.

Was Afraid They Would not In
I .fi' dOrse Negro Suffrage. .0

TheiSprinqfeld Neps and Republic, on the
2lst, expressed the fear that the Abolition
State Convention would not indorse Negro
Suffrage. 1t spoke thus on the subject:
The chief contest in the Convention will
be on the adoption of platform of princi-
Piles. The prospect seems to be that the
Convention will not commit ITSELF as zoe be-
Heue ii might and should do, to the policy Of ne
gro suGrdge-or loyal suffrage, which is the
same thing at the South-but will express
an abiding confidence that President John
son will wisely and justly administer the
affairs of the nation. This will be accept
able, though non-committal. We are glad
to learn that the calamity of division be-
tween the radical and conservative branches
of the Convention is likely to be avoided.
