Republicanism of Ohio—What is it? Under this caption, the Cincinnati

t)aily

Columbian, gives the Platform of Republican (Abolition) Convention, of the Senatorial disfcricft composed of -Lorain and Medina counties, convened in the latter county on Friday, the 24th of August last, accompanied by some very sensible remarks, 'y *,t'

The following are the resolutions, SSrSfH-- -*V **£.,. I* t*

a RESOLUTIONS.

•i

,...

The Republicans of the Lorain and Medina Senatorial Districts, assembled in Convention, do hereby resolve—MM 1. That the interests of Freedom

should be and are in our regard, paralount to all others involved in the political questions of the day.

JRM liti

2. That, aiming to promote the inter

im ests of Freedom, of late grestly endangered by the aggressions of slavery, especially in the passage and arbitrary enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Bill, in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, in the violent assault of a Missouri mob on the personal rights and political franchises of the "Free State men" of Kansas, and in the recent anti-stat®?-rights decision of the Federal

Courts, we are determined to accomplish, as members of the great party of '•J?: freedom, these results, fe (1.) The limitation of the Federal

Executive, legislative and judicial authorities to the prerogatives conferred and duties enforced upon them by the •1-^. constitution: ^. J,„" (2.) The practical maintenance of

TTS

the doctrine of states', rights, in the enactment by our Slate Legislature of a "Personal Liberty Bill" which shall g'g protect our citizens against the operations of laws by whatever authority made or expounded, which conflict with the personal rights of our citizens. (3.) The denationalization of slavery, and its entire abolition wherever it can be reached by Federal authority. (4.) The repeal of the Fugitive Slave

Bill. (5.) The prevention of the addition of any Slave States to the Union. 3. That we. demand equalization in our system of State taxes. 4. That we approve the nominations made by the Republican State Convention held at Columbus on the 13th of July last, and that we will indicate ©ur approval of them by earnest labors for their confirmation by the people in the i^1 coming election. »v

These resolutions fully confirm our predictions that so soon as the leaders of the Republican party, were led to believe that they had Old Lino Whigs and K. N's., fully committed they would close in on them, and show the cloven foot. When we saw certain names appended to the call for meetings on the

13th of July last, both in this State and in Ohio, wo were lead to believe, from our knowledge of their former proclivities that it was an abolition dodge, and we determined then we would have none of it.

sEvery

American pavty.

Some way or other, the

'Mene

movement by that

party since, has* only served to show that our suspicions were well founded. It is a peculiarity that those who become tinctured with Abolitionism, in almost any degree, can never think or speak of aught else. Like the Ancient Romans, who in their senseless religious feats, began with Jupiter, so these begin with a nigger. We are glad to see them thus early disclose their true sentiments and designs. And we are glad to see that the suspicious of multitudes of devoted Americans, are being aroused. These suspicions will we trust ultimately lead to the salvation of the

VERT MUCH ALIKE.—An Irishman in Rhode Island, was about marrying a girl who had a pretty sum of money.

Nsw, the priest hearing of this, desired apart of the money, and told the bride-groom he would charge twentyfive dollars for performing the marriage ceremony for him. "It's rather high, your reverence:" replied the priest. "Then I'll not marry you," replied the priest. "Very well, your reverence, I'll go to some other priest." "I'll excommunicate yofu." "I can go to another church." "Then I'll not let the girl have you," said the priest^, "There's plenty of others, your reverence and I had been thinking your reverence, that the churches and girls are very much alike—if one won't have you, another will."

Hogs Booting.

To prevent hogs from rooting, cut across the nose, just above the gristle of the snout by which you will sever the nasal tendon, by which the operation is performed. Then split the gristle of the nose up and down the face, and the work is done. For the longnosed, flap-eared breed, cut the nose off eighteen inches above the snout.

Some person asked one of the Harpers why he did not endeavor to restrain the ardor of the Rev, Mr. Abbott, and induce him to temper his eulogy of Napoleon. He replied: "What can be said to a man who, before he writes a single chapter goes down on his knees, and prays that he may bo guarded from error?" Wo suspect that the God to whom M. Abbott offered up his prayers, was in a most literal and emphatic sense, "the God of battles."

A dispatch from Washington, dated the 28th, says: The imports for the last quai ter of the fiscal year amount to about$60,000,000. The imports during this quarter at the lake ports, from Canada and the Provinces amounted to over $5,500,00. The whole value of this trade for the year 1864, was $7,689,000.

G" There ia more Sarsaparilla contained in one bottle of Hurley's, tean in Six of any other man's we are aware of,. and which, wherever introduced, becomes one of tlie necessaries of life, and we can state from experience, it is the purest, best, and most efficacious. In our sister city, Louisville, it has attained great celebrity, and here it is in equal favor. It is perfectly free from all dangerous and Injurious ingredients is made undei the special superintendence of an able chemist, and composed of such pure medical compounds as cannot fail to make it. in all cases, sure and powerful.
