Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-06-11

Mr. OrI was CHAIRMAN OIL the committee
on Immigration appointed at the last meet
| ing of the convention at Pittsburgh. After
appointing three committees-on immigra-
tion, on schools and on the press, the Con-
ventlon adjourned at seven P. NJ, to meet
at seven A. M. to-day. In the evening a
committee, headed by Rev. Mr.. Stoller,
proceeded to the residence of the Archbish-
op, on Thirty-sixth street and Madison ave-
nue., and presented to him a valuable and
well executed portrait of the Pope, painted
In oil and of full size. The Archbishop ac-
cepted the handsome giftand replied to the
presentation speech in happy strain. A
concert and banquet, in honor of the dele
gates, at the Germania Assembly rooms,
was we'll attended last night and continued
till an early hour this morning. -
Gen.Grant and the IsraeIites.
/ The following important protest against
the election of Gen. Grant we find in the
st. Louis Republican,:
To the Editor of the st. Louis ,A6endzei-
turg:
AS the editor of Independent paper,
you will allow us to make a few remarks
in regard to the nomination of the Repub-
lican party, tor the Presidency, not from a
party point of view, but entirely independ-
ent of it.
While we, as Israelites, claim in this be-
nign land of religious liberty equal
right as citizens, we ask for no more than
what the Federal Constitution in plain
words guarantees, and the several States
vouchsafe by special enactment. Indeed
the spirit pervading the Declaration of
Independence is an irrefutable proof, that
even at that time, when good deal of re-
ligious intolerance and prejudice were vet
remaining, it was believed that no repub-
lie could prosper. or even exist any length
of time if the doctrine of perfect equality
of all citizens was not acknowledged by all
and provided for by legal enactment.
With this doctrine the Republic will
stand or fall, concerning which there can
be no difference of opinion, and few there
will be, at least in this country, who will
be bold enough to call it in question. Fe,o,
we say, there will be, as if some nsiqlst be-
whose actions indicate that they are no es-
pecial admirers of this doctrine, or that
they will accept it any further than they
can conveniently reconcile it with their alb
stract ideas and theories of the social
compact. 1t would be hardly worth while
to say word in cOnfutation of such anti
republican sentiments if they are enter
tanned merely by few queer abstraction
lists or simpletons; but should they be pub
licly espoused, or indeed officially pro-
claimed by men of influence and high DO
sitions-such as are looked upon as leaders
of political parties then it becomes an i'm
perative duty of every good citizen to raise
his voice against it, ne Quid respublica detri-
aae,,ti copiat. To these few preliminary re-
marks, Mr.. Editor, you will allow US to
add few words concerning the present
Republican candidate tor the Chief Maois-
tracy, General U. S. Grant.
1t will be obvious, that we are not speak
ing from party point of view, because
some of us belong to the Radical, some to the
Conservative and again some to the Demo-
cratic party, but we all agree. that tn e
doctrine of equal rights for ali citizens.
and general. perfect and unlimited tree,
dom of Conscience should he kent sacred
by all, and that. moreover. a man who
aspires for the Chief Magistracy of the
United States SHOULD be far, far above sus-
picion regarding it. But General Grant,
as Commander of the Thirteenth Army
Corps, by issuing the following order not
Only ignored or disregarded this cardinal
republican doctrine, but indeed pronounce
ed officially his UNQUALIFIED condemnation
upon it. Here is the order in full:
