The New York Tribune of the Goth Of
June thus refers to Gen Cox:
"Ihose friends of universal suffrage who
hoped for an emphatic expression by the
Republican State Conventions OF OHIO, have
no occasion for dscouragemcnt in the rec
ord of its action. The question, zoe are as
s,ued, wW be canra&sed IN erery school DIS
trict offhe State from this time until election

Gen. Jacob Doson Cox, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor, was originally
Liberty party man, but has been an active
member OF the Republican party ever since
its organization, and rs al this moment an

kno,rn to the Ohio ConrentiOn, and, it may
be added for the benefit OF one or two New
York newspapers, that Gen. Cox has been
! for many years and Is how the warm per-
sonal and political friend OF Chief Justice
Chase And it may further be added, for
the benefit of the same newspapers, that
| Ohio Republicans do not see that split in
the Republican ranks for which they so ar
dently pray and so cheaply labor, but will
proceed to finish the good work they have
| so long been engaged in-that Of saving the
country from the tolls of pro-slavery fanatics
of every grade, and Of rendering justice to
that loyal class Of S0utherners who saved
our country in the hour OF its sorest need.
Gen. Cox is young man OF about 50
years Of great abilities and thoroug cd uca-

| he ranked as leader amodg the radicals,
and has served from the commencement OF
the present war, first as a, then Us q Briga-

Tile 7riL,0e states that Gen. Cox was orig
inally Liberty man. that he has been al
active Republican ever since the organiza,
ten OF that party, ',and is at th,s moment dH
ardent adcocate Of negro Suffrage. a fact
well known to the Ohio Convention, and
that he has been for many years and is noN
the warm personal and political friend o
Chief Justice Chase. And to further
strengthen the assurance that Gen. Cox il
unquestionably in favor Of Negro Suffrage
The 7nlune states that he General Cox
married the daughter Of the late President
Finney, formorly of Oberin College, il
which Blacks and whites are admitted on E.
quail terms" The Tribune might also have
said in this connection, that the Genera
graduated in that College. We wonder how
that class Of Abolition Journals which cover
their radicaiSm with a gauze-lke conserva
