A Good Nomination.

We are grati6ed 70 see that the Republi-
cans of Ohio have re-nomina,ed for Secre-
iary of State of that great Commonwealth,
Hon. A. P. Russell. of Clinton county. A
better choice could not have been made, and
so acceptably has he filed the Office. for the
last two yeais that he was nominated By oc-
c2omatiOn! Mr. Russell is young man oi
frs..class ability. Hs has filled several i'm
portant posts in the gift of the p'ople, al
ways acquitting himself honorably and to
the entire satisfaction of his constituents.
In him we have another striking ilustra-
tioa of what young man, starting out in
the world on his own hook, may accomplish
if he snly applies himself properly. He is
q self-made man, having commenced his
career as an apprentice in a printing Office
at the early age of twelve years. and has
come gradually up, overcoming every diff
Guilty. until he now occupies one of the first
positions in the gift of the people of the
great State of Ohio. Mr. Russell is So
ciabIe, kind and humane gentleman, and
many happy hours have we spent with him
in the Office of the good old Clinton Repub-
iicun. published at Wilmington. Ohio-he
as editor end we as devil-printer's devil,
of course. We shall look to see him tri-
umphanlly elected in October. along with
the rest of the Republican State ticket
Long may he wave

the effect that the Opposition press of this city should
not asitate the question Of the size Of the Convention
that is as to the number Of delegates from the various
counties. Not being in the city at that time we could
have been party to any such understanding nor are
we in the habit of authorizing any person on earth tn
prescribe the policy Of the Wing on any subject We
act On our own convictions Of propricy in an natter
without reference to the views judgment Of Others
We are not responsible for anything appearing in the
wing during our absences and policy it may pursue.
or opinion may utter during such absences have n
binding force whatever our own course We thought
that was long ago and fully understood by the public
We nevertheless have great respect for the judgments
and talents Of those who conduct it, editorial column,
during absences
And thus the Mans may forbear any further trattle
about the Wig at first advocating small. select

The Difference.

We stated it as persuasion, belief on our part-uot
as positive fact within knowledge-,hat the "Oppo
stion party in Virginia have preference in regard TO
the Presidential nomination. The NS,r on the contra
ry says-"WE that orerlrhslaiag ,asjori,yn of
the party prefer the nomination of Mr. Bots And when
asked whence it derived its information it savit got il
from the same source that got ours That's talking
with reference to reason" with a vengeance
It saws further that three cities have declared for Mr.
Bolts unanimously. To which We reply-no such thps,
And even If it were so, that would be no index TO the
sentiment Of the State large according to the N-,'
own logic For it took the ground in its issue Of SEN
TENDER 2d that the sentiment OF the Richmond Con-
gressonal Distrct-whch includes the CITY of Rcbmond
and seven large counties in addton-"is no criterion
Of the sentiment of the State at large Ii follows that
# the preference of Richmond and seven large adjacent
counties, SIS criterion of the preference of the State

and Portsmouth, which three cities contain not half the
population of the Richmond district sis no criterion
