The Abolition Platform.

Tho resolutions Of the late Abolition
convention at Columbus have dissappoint-
ed every body, but no body so much as
the Abolitionists themselves. They ex-
pected-and with good reason--that the
colored gentleman would occupy IA promi
nent position on the platform. Before the
convention, the organs and the leading
politicians of the party, all over the State.
were clamorous for negro suffrage and
equality. They did not for moment
suppose that the convention would dare to
ignore this favorite idea, or even attempt
to dodge the question. 1t is not strange,
therefore, that the action Of that body has
disappointed their expectations, and that
the mutterings of the Radicals are loud
and deep.
The truth is, the platform deals only in
vague generalities and really amounts to
nothing so far as an expression Of opinion
ON the questions Of the day is concerned,
In regard to the manner in which the
convention treated the negro question,
the Cincinnati Enquirer pertinently re-
marks ; ''rhe platform Of Columbus is a
platform only in show and exterior appear.
ancc. 1t nfiims nothing, and is simply
post standing at the forks of road,
without finger boards pointing in any di-
reclion The great question for the hand
ling of the Convention, as was agreed by
all the organs OF the party, was the ques-
ton Of negro suffrage; and this it declines
to touch, Not only does it let alone the
rights of our colored'brother in the South,
but it ignores even the crying claims of
those who nestle in the bosom of our own
society. The reader Of the Columbus docu-
ment will not learn, from its contents,
that there is such thing as a nigger-
we adapt our orthography to the popular
pronuneiation-in the world. We wonder
at this. With sonorous metal, inflated
by African organs, emitting martial
sounds, at brief intervals, in its ears. the
Convention was as oblivious of the rights
of that same African as If his ancestors
had never encountered the horrors of the
middle passage, or as il he himself had
never fought, blod, and starved to death
for his liberty and ours"
