\ get to congratulate the COmmlCVeeS, wiz
had this Party in. charge, upon the brilliant
success that crowned their efforts.
Republican COunty Convention.
On Saturday, there was held in this city
Republican Delegate Convention to elect
| sundry delegates to the Republican State
Convention that is to meet in this city on
\ Wednesday. "A detailed report of its pro-
ceedings will be found in the local depart
ment. From that it will be seen that ten
townships and one ward were unrepresent-
4 ed. II will likewise be seen by scanning
the delegates elected from the city that
eight or nine of them are iu some way in
the employ of the State House and the
Morning Journal. This latter circumstance
would not challenge attention, were it not
that despite the misrepresentation of ten
townships and one ward, they went into
the resolution business and committed the
party to certain views. r-r. -... ia ......
When Mr.. FOSTER moved the appoint
| ment of committee on Resolutions, at the
suggestion Of DR.. COULTER that the oele-
gates could be trusted without the intliction
| of a set of resolutions for their guidance, the
motion was withdrawn. The Dr., how
ever, subsequently drew from his pocket
set of resolutions which he had read and
adopted with emphasis. True, these reso-
| lutions were not intended as directions to
be observed by the delegates then and there
elected; but as an exposition of the views
of the Republican party of Franklin coun-
ty-as binding upon the Republican town
ships and ward not represented. A short
time before the adoption of these resolu-
tions, Mr. GALLOWAY had told them, in
spirit of melancholy aud severe gravity,
that there is lullin political feeling, which
he held to be very injurious to their party,
and uhwlttingly established the fact that
they we're like unto the Pharasees of old,
whose canting hypocrisy was SO sternly re-
buked and condemned by the Savior, by
claiming "that their party was the party OF
civilization and universal freedom and of
civil rights and of CHRISTIANITY" 1t
might have been well had he honOred the
audience with the information at what
time their leader in Congress-THAD.
STEVENS, the "old bruiser," as he is called
by the Cincinnati CoHlnaercidI-had COM
nlenced praying, or believing that there is
either God or hereafter, and when he
ceased to outrage decency, morality and
the holy ordinance of marriage by con-
spicuous concubinage.
To what do the resolutions commit, or
rather undertake to commit, the Republi-
can party of Franklin county The first
resolution approves the Constitutional
amendment just passed by Congress, the
adoption of which will make voters out of
the Negroes here in Franklin county, and
the other object of which is TO deny the
Southern States their representation in
Congress until they shall make voters out of
the Blacks in their States. Secondly, they
resolve that "any and all efforts, by ,ohomSo-
over put forth, looking to the restoration of
unrepentant rebels and their Northern SYM
patbizers and coadjutors to dominancy in
the Government, are fraught with peril to
the highest interests of the nation" That's
acowardly and imperfectly masked assault
upon the President. ~ u '7'
The third resolution has the modesty to
claim for '.the Union party as run by the
Radicals, the right to administer the Gov
ernment In allits departments.
d In the fourth resolution hearty in
iorsement as given to the course of Hon.
SAMUEL SHELLABARGER in Congress, and
that this Endorsement may be practical his
denomination is recommended. This in
tlorsemeiit is absolute. By so indorsing his
course, they made HIS votes their own-an
his votes in favor Of Negro Suffrage they
adopt as their own. % We are not prepared
to saw that In this adoption of Mr.. SHELLA-
BARGER's votes In favor Of Negro Suffrage,
and his speeches against the admission Of
the Southern. States until they shall have
made their Blacks voters, these men have
mtsre srepl5scnted their party, 1t may be
that il. TIC tic Republicans OF tns Sixth Ward,
and of Blendon, Brown, Franklin, Jefferson,
Norwich, Plain, Perry, Pleasant Sharon
and Washington townships, had been there
en- masse, they would have rejoiced at the
toppOrtunity presented them to declare in
favornof Negro Suffrage. AS this is the
only issue the Republicans of Franklin
county tender the Democracy, they will
have an opportunity presented them at the
October election of voting their approval
or rejection Of It. 431@ ''t I.'.s'3o
