THE POLITICAL POT A.BILINi
Ohio Republican Association.
DEAD-IN-EARNEsT MEETING.
This association met at Marini's Hall last
evening-Col. f. g. Ford in the chair, and New
ton Ferree secretary-with a full attendance.
amendments were offered to the constitution
(which lie over under the rule) l. king to the
prevention OF efforts that may be repeated to
adjournment or like measures.
CASE OF SECESSION.
A committee OF fve-Otis, Gray, Kerr, Pal
into consideration the subject OF the reported
organization, by certain dissatisfied members
OF the so called "OhiO Voters Republican
Union," an opposition faction, to INQUIRE into
the causes, and to suggest a remedy.
THE COMMITTEE FIRE A B0MBSHELL INTO THE
OPPOSITION CAMP.
The committee retired to deliberate-that is,
speaking militarily, they fell back to load
Their protracted absence caused the meeting
some uneasine;s, but after time they came to
the front again, with report covering the en-
tire subject, declaring the organization of the
rival association " causeess, uncalled for mis-
chievous, and in violation of that good faith
and loyalty to the will Of the majority which
ought to characterize good members and good
republicans" and taking the position that by
their own act withdrawing members have

SACRIFICE REMEDY FOR NOTHING,
The report further declares that there is no
legitimate object which it is possible for any Off
shoot OF the association TO accomplish that NAV

by the parent body; Sand all grievances ought
to be redressed and all wrongs righted vithin the

OF 81.
The action of the withdrawing members fde-
clares the report) too closely resembles that Of
he seeding traitors who left Congress in 1861
because they could not conlfol it.
PALLACY EXPLODED.
The report also declares that the opposit ON
made to the presence in the regular assoc alton
OF members who are citizens of, but not now
voters in Ohio, is factious and in bad faith mas
much as more than eighty per cent. of the entire
mem bership is composed OF bona fde Ohio
voters, who, consequently, have always the
power OF control; besides, the non-yoters are
among the best members, embracing such men
as Governor Cooke, Hon. X. NJ. Corwine Hon
A. G. Riddle, &c, to exclude whom would lie an
impOlitic and unwise
The burden OF the remaining po.tions of the
report is to the effect that the OPP osition con-
Germ, or ''bOlters' union" originated in a spirit
OF discussion, and, in brief, amounts to

The committee conclude their report by re-
commencing the adoption of resolutions: list,
that all we'll disposed members who have bv
fxlsefood or Misrepresentation been inveigled
lnto joining the so-caled "OhiO voters repub-
lican union" are invited to renounce all connec.
uon herewith, and resume in good faith their
membership in the regular society, '.with all
rights and privileges unimpaired;" I'd, that
continued refusal to accept this OF or of amnesty
shall be treated as a forfeiture of all rights OF
incorrigible members shall be dropped from the
rolls unless they renounce all connection with
the seeding body before the 18th OF June, and
return in good faith TO their membership in the
regular association.
TIE OPPOSITION HOLDING COUNCIL OF WAR
All this time the seceders were known to be
holding caucus in another hall, consolidating
their forces preparatory to precipitating them
suddenly upon the regular association and
crushing 1t by sine die adjournment, or by the
expulsion OF the non-voters. But they had
counted without their host. Sending to the hall
an emissary in the person OF that uneasy spirit,
