Mean Since 1854, To Whom Belongs tho Honor of Having Ohristenod tho “Republican” Party. Boectal Disaten te The Triduna, Demo, July 6—The Post and Tribune of this city ovcupica the greater part of the supple- ment shect of its to-day's isene with articles and communications appropriate to the twenty- fifth anviversary of the frst State Convention of the Republican party, which met at Jacksov, in Michipun, July 6, 1854. The main article fe historical in ite character, and occupies consld- erable space, by reason of the detailed history which ft glves of the events which preceded aud attended the earliest formation of a State party, adopting an Anti-Slavery platform, nominating afull ticket, and formally assuming the Ropub- Ucan name. It commences with o brief alluston to the claims of other States to the honor of havlog been the acene of the birth and chriaten- ing of Republicanism, and shows that the datcs ef all other Conventions are SUBSEQUANT TO THAT OF MICIIGAN,— as for Instance: Obfo, July 13; Wisconata, July 18; Massachusetts, July 19; Vermont, July 13. In this connection it quotes this passage from. Henry Wilson's “Risa and sall of the Blave- Power," as atating tha essential and exact facts Inthocase: Bat, whatover suggestions sey ve bean made or whatever action may have been taken elso- where, to Michigan belongs the honor of belox the firat Stato ta form and cl nm the Republican party. More than three months before the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, the Free-Boil Con- vention bau accpied. ao mixed ticket, made up of Fres-Sollora and Whigs, {u order that there might be acombination of the Anti-Slavery slementa of the State. Immediately on the passage of the Nebraska bill, Josepn Warren, editor of the Do- troint Tribune, entered upon a couree of measures that resulted in bringing the Whig and Freo-Soil parties together, not OY, & mere conlition of the two, but by a fusion of the elements of which the two were composed, In his own language, he **vook ground In favor of disbanding the Whig and Free-Soil partios and of the organization of 5 new party, composed of all the opponents of Siavery-oxtension,” Asiong the first steps taken toward the accomplishment of this vitally impor- tant object wasthe withdrawal of the Free-8oil ticket. Thie having been effected, a call for a Mass- Convention was issued, signed by more than 10,000 names, The Convention mot on the sth day of jy. and wae largely attended, A platform, drawn by the Ion. Jacob Mt. How- 44, ‘afterward United States Senator feom “Michi gan, was adopted, not only opnosing the extention of Slavery, Unt declaring in favor of ita abolition in tho District of Colambla, ‘The report also pro” posed ‘Republican as the name of the new arty; which was adopted by the Conventlon, inaloy 8, Bingham was nominated by the Conyen- tion as the ‘*{tepablican” candidate for Governor, and was triumphantly elected; and Michigan, thus carly toenter the ranks of the Republican party, has romained stoadfaat to its then publicty-avowed. principles of faith, The Postand Tribune noxt gives a history of the- POLITIOAL MOVEMENTS IN MICHIGAN IN 1954, as they wero {nfluenced by the progress of the Kansas-Nobraska struggle. This bas been pre- pared chiefly from ite own files for that years ‘and, jn its resoarches, it consulted also the con- temporoneous roporta as printed in the J'rea Democrat (Froe-Soll), Advert'ser (Bllver-Gray), and Free Press (Democrat). They show, Jn brief, this: The Freo-Soll party of Michican put'a State ticket {n the fleld at Jackson, Feb, 22, 1834, headed by Kinsley 8. Bingham, Wil- mot-Proviso Domocrat, for Governor. After the popular indignatton over tho Kansas- Nobraska act had mado it plan that the Whigs were, in the main, ready for an Anti-Slavery fusion, a second Freo-Soll Conyontion was held, at Kalamazoo, June 91; and a Committeo was there appointed to prepare fora fusion, and clothed with authority to withdraw the Froe- Boll ticket if 1 should be found expedient. A call was also issued fora Mass-Convention of all Antt-Slavery-Extension men; and it MET AT JACKSON JULT 6. Upwards. of 3,000 people (some estimates say §,000) were {n attendance, and the Conyention met, from nocesslty, In the opon air, Ina grove of oaks, It was preaided over temporarily by Levi Baxter, of Hilisdale, and permanently by Congressman D, 8.

Its first business was the appointment of a Committes on Resolutions, of which Jacob M, Howard, afterwards United Statea Senator, waa Chairman, He reported a platform, which wos adopted; after which I, P.

A Wordy Waz in the Dressing-Room of the Motroplitan Theatre, All Hands Repair to the Arniory, but Nobody Is Arrested. Chicago {s a summer-resort of estabiished reputation, and as such furnishes a tarrylng place for theatrical persons and properties, Notwithatanding the fact that the. weather here is uniformly cool, and that there {a no hot weather whatever, about two weeks ago a party of alleged British tourists invaded the city with all the paraphernalla of a theatre except the dresses, and these were forgotten or considered useless. In fact, the ladics In question wero no more and no Jess than ‘May Fisk's British Blondes,” and forthwith they wore instalted in the Motropotitan Theatre, the scene of many changes, ‘Their arrival was duly announced by flaming vosters representing blooming dameels of tender ages, with well- proportioned limbs, but’ ill-proportioned skirta.

Mingled with the wearing apparel wero the blondes, their manager, tlic treasurer, and Icesces, threo pollceinen, and a crowd of supernumerarios und spectators. The blondes wore vociferous and likewise unintelligible, the rest wera ditto, Suddenly the whole.scene melted away like the dissolving light used to thelr work, but the fra- cas wasonly transferred -to the subterranean recions, where the tolleta of the girls wero at- tended to, On a platform running along the tler of drese- ing-rooms was the redoubtable May Fisk, her blonde curls waving free from atnrler her broad hat, with hor anything but puny Sst uoralsed in the act of crushing to carth the treaguror.

The Germans turned ont quite numerousty, and thera were just 2s many Demoérats present as Republicans. ‘The feeling’ of disgust with Mayor Harrison’s administra~ don thus far among the Gorman citizens seqmed. to beqnite unanimous, and thero is no denying: te fact that,were he to run again for Mayor or any other office, he would hardly get aaingle German vote. ; ‘The meeting was called to ordor by.
