-The'Clevegiumil
The interest which attached to . the ac
tion of the radical Convention at Cleve:
land, Anduoed us to visit that city on
.Tuesday,,to witness for ontielf the char
luster nt the men who controlled the
movement, and the spiri t which actuated
their proceedings. We found the Conven
tion already organised when we: reached
the place of meeting, with. Ex-Gov. John
son, of this State, one of the former lead
ers of the Opposition, acting as temporary
Chairman. - The Hall was a small one, not
more than two-thirds filled, the number
in attendance probably being between
four and , five hundred, of whom by far
the larger portion were delegates. The
people of Cleveland, as a general thing,
-appeared, to take alight interest in the
proceedings—the Adniinistrationists Care
fully refraining from giving it any commie
nance,..And the Democrats probably re
maining away on account of the misrep
resentation which would have been made
of their presence by the Lincoln organs.
,In the streets and at the hotels, although
ithe Convention was the main topic of
conversation, we found few who were
identified with its proceedings, and the
common feeling appeared to be one of
surprise on the one hand at 'the meagre
ness of its attendance, and on that of the
Lincoln men of rejoicing at what they
sneeringly denominated the "Fremont
fizzle." The city did net appear to be
any more lively than usual, and no one
unacquainted with the circhmstanCes
would, have supposed 'that a body of men
was assembled -within its limits whose de
liberations would probably, decide the
question . as to who would be- our . next
President, and perhaps influence the en
tireluture history of the nation.
A large portion of the delegates were
Germans ,from the West ,
_*ho were to a
man in favor of the nomination of Gen.
PremOnt. They had the - numerical
strength l to control the Convention, and
being led'
,by active and able leaders like
Col. Moss and Caspar Butz, they actually
moulded all its proceedings.. The next
largest proportion of the Convention was
made up of men like Stephen S. Foster;Par
her Pillsbury, and Rev. William Goodell,
AbolitioniSta of thirty years standing, who
are undoubtedly honest in their anti-sla-
very convictions, and who thoroughly de
spise the hypocrisy which actuates a ma
jority of the 'Adniinistration leaders. The
smallest class of delegates was composed
of disappointed Republicans like Colvin
and Carroll, of New York, who hate Lin
coln nearly as bad as they do Democrats,
but prefer party success even with him in
command, rather than the triumph of a
sound, devoted friend of the Union and
Constitution. These were mostly in favor
of Grant's nomination, but although they
were energetic, and obtained temporary
control of the body, their influence was
weak in its final decisions. •
It was easy to see the current of feeling
from the start. The Grant men still desi
red to remain connected with the Repub
lican organisation, but wish it to suc
ceed with another candidate than Lin
ooln ; the Fremont men were alike ene
mies of Lincoln and his party, and had
determined on a separate political move
ment. Every mention of Fremont's name
was received with uproarious ' applause;
that of Grant fell on the Convention with
little or no impression. All efforts to get
up a feeling in favor of the latter met
with signik failure, and the Grant men
soon yielded the attempt as a hopelesis
task.
We cannot be mistaken in the assertion
that this Convention will have moreinflu
ence on the result of the next Presiden
tial campaign than most of the partisans
of Lincoln are willing to give it credit for
at the present time. It was not as large
as its managers expected, but what was
lacking in site was more than made up in
will and enthusiasm. The men who con
trolled the movement mean what they say.
They are not political time-servers, merce
nary huckaterers, or office-seeking bar
gainers, but honest, fearless, able, indus
trious members of the community, whose,
seal and integrity ire cannot help but re
' spect, while we have the least posaible re
gard for some of the features of . their
creed. They prefer defeat to dishonor,
_ and look upon the re-election of Lincoln
as the most deplorable event that could
occur for the National interests. Many of
them haysepen' t a Iffe-time in the pursuit
of their favorite :doctrines, and having
been betrayed by those whom they trust
ed. and elevated to rower, they are now
ready to out loose from their late com
panions, and stem the sea of popular ola
loguy, in one more effort for the triumph
of their cherished convictions. The.
Cleveland movement has the hearty syro-,
pathy of nearly ill the old, original Abo
litionists, whose Independence and un
paralelled energy 'is too well known to
need repetition. Its candidates - will receive
the almost undivided support of this per-
severing class - of reformers, awaited in
—numbers to an extent that cannot now be
estimated, by the accession of - that pow-
erful political element, the enthneiastic
German population of the West. The
Lincoln faction can have their votes and
Cooperation on one . condition alone, and
that is the acceptance of their candidates
and platform.
Tire following is an extract from the
weU•hnown essay of Charles Sumner, the
Maaachusetta Abolitionist, on "The True
Grandam . of Nations." Mr. Sumner is a
:salons war man now, but it will be 13,..
that he formerly held very different vie:,:
on the subject :
"It cannot be doubted that this strange
and unblessed conjunction of the Chris
tian :derv . with war has bad no little
influence in bringing the world to the
truth now beginning to be recognised, that
atristicatity forbids ifis whole custom o f soar.
Bach_ Is the true image of Christian duty,
nor can I readily perceive the difference
in principle between those ministers of
the Gospel who themselves gird on the
'word, as in olden time, and those others
who, unarmed and in customary black,
lend the sanction of their presence to the
martial array, or to ant form of prepara
tion for war."

late
l'he"apiritnalists have had a great. mini
versary convention in New York, at which
men and women of all colors andof all
grades of intellect and morality, ventila
ted themselves. The war; free-love and
negroes were the burden of their ha
rangues. one young woman, a bliss Clark' ?
after praising a "beautiful young want'
who preceded her, declared herself a free
lover, and.ikvii some obsceneinstances
illustrative of. ber theory._ There was a'
speaker for every subject—one advocating
free z love, another the war, another; Aboli
tion, another abortion, another infidelity,
and all Mr. Lincoln. A Mr. Howe
brought down the house by declaring that
"under Abraham Lincoln the world is to
be free—nothing is true but perfect free
dom. If I were in Heaven I would have
the freedom to sin, if I wanted to, or I
wouldn't stay there." A Mr. Clark pitched
into the peace men ; he said :
" If Jesus Christ came and told them to
go on the side of Jeff. Davis, he would
say shame on such a Jesus, and he would
spit upon him, as the Jews did," (Ap
plause.)
A young lady declared that " the work
of freedom will not be finished until every
woman Is allowed freely to follow her in
clinations in choosing the father of her
children." One unfortunate gentleman
by the name of Hamilton undertook to
defend Christianity, and was hissed down.
This body of lunatics held three public
meetings, in all of whiCh frce-loVe, abor
tion, the right to sin in Heaven, Aboli
tionism, the war and Lincoln received un
disputed and consistent praise."

We find the following remarkable state
ment in the New Nation, Gen. fremont's
special organ in New York city. In• re.
producing it we must be permitted to say
that we - have very serious doubts' of its
correctness. The little we Imo* of Gen.
Grant is not o r such a nature es to allow
as to belieii that 'he would be a party to
a bargain so shameful and odiOns as the
one which the New Nation alleges to have
been made :
compact, we are informed, has been
entered into between Grant and Lincoln,
which • Montgomery " Blair hail 'endorsed,
after the manner of the Pope; acting in
virtue of divine right, and confirmed the
validity of theragreement. • it favalid.that
a written agreement has been drawn up
between the Lieutenant General and the
President, according to which; Grant, in
consideration of the divasi of all the re
sources of the nation, and perthission to
achieve .victory,• binds himself not only
not to run for the,Praaidency, but further,
to go in person to Baltimore, and cast his
vote in favor of Lincoln.
"-We reproduce this report interroga
tively, with the view of calling attention
to it, and of obtaining more simple itifcr
mation in the premises. We have to state,
however, that it comes to us frOm a relia•
ble person whose position at Washington
enables him to know what - takes place at
the White House."
PZEHAPS the most alartning—certainly
the most discouraging—fact bearing upon
the situation of the country . , rays an ex
change, is the blind, malignant and un
scrupulous partisanship of the Administra
tion and its leading Supporters.j . They look
.upon the war _ and the operations of the
war in no other light than as the means of
partisan success. - Partisanship was never
so bitter in all our, history as that exhibit
ed now by the Administration ,leaders.
They utterly fail to appreciate the dangers
which to-day more than ever before,threat
ed the very existence of ,the Nation.
They are - nearly all absorbed iu miserable
schemes to promote the owe* of this or
that candidate—not once dreaminethrit
the course they are pursuing *ill ieenit is
destroying the National life, sand leaving
nothing but National ruinvind disgrace to
which to "snooped." Is it-not possible for
_men charged - with, such fearful respoesi
bilities to rise superior to personal and
partisan squabbles; and to cleVote their en
tire energies, such as Prayidince has en
dowed them with, to the service of their
Country.

The New Nation - eipresses our views to
the letter When it' sayi ofj the suppression
of the Wortil and Joarnal il!Cbouneree :
"The man who pis the order and be•
who executed it are equally culpable. and
the people await the just retaliation which
the majesty of violated law demands.
" If tyrants, ould find no complaisant
instruments, law would never be violated.
"The duty of the general commanding
in the State of New York was to send his
resignation in reply to the President's or
der.., He..preferred his command . to his
duty, and it is just that he should bear the
consequences.
"The innocence of the (Athens Who were
deemed guilty and arrested as such has
been acknowledged, and the guilty party
has been arrested, but the detriment aces , -
awned to- individual* and to public mo
rality still remains, and It should be re
paired and avenged."
The man who executed the order was
General John A. Dix, he who once claimed
to be a Democrat, but whom the tinsel of
office and the duale of power has con
verted into one of the mostiobsequious
tools of that Abblitionism which a few
years ago he despised. Had he possessed
a tithe of the spirit which should chars°.
terize every American citizen, he would ,
rather that his right. arm had been torn
from its socket than to have obeyed a
mandate which will consign both its au
thor and executioner forever to the depths
of iniquity.
THAT negro equality and negro voting
are fast becoming faierite doctrines of the
Abolition leaders cannot be doubted by
any who have watched the current of po•
litical events. Every day adds proof to
Our predictions on this question, and if the
next Presidential election remits .in an
Abolition victory. we do 'not hesitate to
express our belief that the great mass of
the party will boldly' announce these re
puhive dogmas. The negroes themselves
think, so, and no wonder when they have
such strong groundi for the same as are
found in the following paragraph from the
Philadelphia North Americo a, one of the
leading Abolition organs in the State:
" None but the baser sort of_ people
would wish the colored hoe to live among
us either as slaves or degraded freemen ;
for degraded they must be if entireW de
prived of those political privileges which
constitute the essence of • citizenship.—
When once they shOw themselves worthy
of these, the strong reaction in their favor
-which is already distinotly observable, will
doubtless receive an additional impetus;
and then may we reasonably expect to see
such a measure of justice and oom
tion as shall atone for the wrongs % n i l ::
have heretofore been inflicted."
It needs no prophet to foretell what. all
this leads to.:
What Is Ahead ts—llle State Wilier
Reams.
The Washington porrespondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes as follows to that
rabid Abolition jorirnal, in reference to
the enormous expenses of the war and the
increase in our pubho debt ; - -
."Not less dangerous than the folly of
supposing the war ;practically ended, is
the other folly of supposing that we can go
on with impunity, obnducting it as long
as we please, on the most extravagant and
reckless system of expenditure ever known
in the whole history of war. We do not
add to-day one soldier to our ranks who
ddes not cost us, in one way or another,
double what any nation, ancient or mod
ern, ever paid for ite soldiers before. 'lt is
a very cheap style Of popularity—seeking
to answer that they, are worth all we pay
for them ; but when they themselves, and
their children, owns to pay off the debt
we are incurring, tti . Eunwer may not
seem quite so sa .
"We have condo the war three
years. For the first its
. eenses were. in
round numbers, about $289,034.000. For
the second it swelled tciabout 585,087,000.
For the year nearly, cloodng; it will foot up.
(including definencies,) acoording to op
popriations already passed and estimates
in, about 928,439,00 0 Ost . this expanding
scale, vary simple arithmetical rules will
show how long it will take to bankrupt
the nation. We gannet strain and strain
finances without limit; there strut come a
time when with sore labor and many tax
gatherers we begin to pay the debts we
are so lavishly ineurring r or depreciate
our bonds. Already Secretary Chase
has sent in his earnest protest to the
committees, and list; notified them that
he. will not undertake to net the new
and ever increasing demands upon the
Treasury, unless they promptly inaugu
rate a system of thorough and unsparing
taxation. When that' begins to press iwe
shall see whether demagogues will still
insist that from month to month. the =-
ponies of the war dual be swelled to more
and more exciting proportions. So much
for what lies ahead of us=la the way of
fighting and of paying the bills."

Mr. Carroll stated that the Committee, were
unanimous on all the resolutions save the last.

visable not to recommend it, but the majority:

-of the Convention. He said he came to the
Conientlon because hi cannot, at the coming
election, east his vote for Multi= Lincoln ;
he could not, approve of the. principles and
policy of hiked/ministration. The, nomination
of Grant fell as •"dat as a flounder" on the

Henry Ward Beecher spoke in New (Haven
on the 'war and the African. The Register
says: "He told .his bearers that if slavery
conld_be destroyed at the cost of_ the destruo.
lion of a generation of able-bodied' men and
all the"inoney the nation could raise, it. Would
be ..chittip enough.' Whether the audience
was thinking it was "bout time forliir Beech.
er to turn his 'able body' into the general,
sacrifice, and check outs part of hiS ample
fortune for the furtherance of his pet project,,
we cannot say ; but they received the idea
with remarkable silence."
The following paragraph,. from ths-Bost n
Pa/iridium, published in Jefferson's day, sho4s
that - the editors opposed to Democracy were
then quite as indecent in their lying violence
as the same sec are at the present time :
"Should the infidel Jefferson be elected to
the
-Presidency, the seal of death is that mo
ment set on our hely

will be prostrated, and some infamous prosti
tute, under tho title of the Goddess of Reason,
will preside in the sanctuaries, now devoted

The Boston Pioneer, a radical Ger Man paper,
declares that it is not owe dangerotis to help to
elect a Democrat than to help elect-.4fr, Lincoln,
and even goes so far as to assert that in one
respect that of the 'Monroe doctrine
