The Republican County COnven-
Ilnn.

ton.
The Republican County Convention fer
Harrison County was a dull and piritless
affair. No interest was manifested by the
masses of the party, who are really sick of
the organization, and We hope will soon
leave it. The attendance was slim-being
less than ever we r~ecollect of before.
4 Mass Meeting composed Of some fifteen
or trenty persuns was held after the Con
veution 10 appoint delegates TO the Radical
State Convention to be held at Columbus
on Wednesday. The delegates appointed
are very radical gentlemen, and are not
loyal enough to sustain the AdminiStra-
ton.
The meeting passed the following resolu-
ton concerning John A. Bingham, who Is
of the Thad. Stevens school of politics:
Resolred, That the ability, honesty, and
patriotism of our Representative in Con
greSs, Hon. John A. Bingham, has secured
to him the confidence, affection and respect
Of his fellow citizens everywhere, and we
say to him, well done, good and faithful
servant"
The meeting passed unanimously the fol-
lowing resolutions concerning Mr.. Hatton,
late editor of the Cadiz Republican. Mr..
Hatton has served his party faithfully for
the past fourteen years:
WHEREAS, Our worthy fellow-citizen.

pose Of removing to another field OF labor,
! therefore,
ResoIred, That for fourteen years he has
labored successfully for the advancement OF
the principle we entertain; ever the friend
and advocate of justice, liberty and Union,
he has materially contributed to the build
ing up of our party, and the advancement
Of our principles in this county.
ReSOired, That the laburs of Mr.. Ilatton
amongst us, and his conduct public and
private, merits our warmcst appreciation,
and we tender to him our cordial good wish
| es for his future success wherever he may
go.
A correspondent of the 0. s. Journal,
after giving the proceedings of the Con
%vcntion and meeting, goes in the following
rhapsody about what terrible things the
Harrison County delegation will do in the
State Convention. Woe! Woe! Woe!
to I'll concerned. When this terrible cor
respondent gets them in his clutches. II
Andy should see this communication. he
would no doubt tremble for the future Of
my policy"
Now, Mr.. Editor, I have a word that
wish to say in relation to the feeling Of our
people here, in regard to the policy which
may be adopted by the State Convention,
1t has been asserted that an effort Is being
made throughout the State to send a Suti
Gent number of men to the General Con
v%ention, who are pledged to the Andrew
johnson policy to control that body. How
much truth there is in the report remains to
be seen. However is may be, Harrison
county has taken the pyecaution to leave
such geutiemen-if any there beat home,
| and has delegated men to that body who
have the courage to stand up for the voice
Of the people, and the integrity to not de
sert, in an hour of need. It has also been
argued that the breach which exists between
the President and Congress is in danger of
being widtned by a withdrawal of the peo-
pie support from the Presidents policy.
| do not think SO, but quite the contrary.
Let the people say to Mr.. johnson, as
they have a perfect tight to DE-, So! you
hare made Brooches enough, Piay do n lite
mpndmgF' Or to say the same thing in a
different way. let the Union Convention of
Ohio respond to the action Of Congress
with a hearty Amen! and it will do more to-
ward healing any possible dissofection than
so. 600 votes for he Free North the coming
fall.
Do this, and then leave the great issue
to the sovereign will Of The people, and if
true at the ballot as they have been with the
bayonet, then, woe to the man! woe to the
partyI woe to the policy. on whom shall fall
the seat ottheir biQhting Indignation,
