A Prophecy and q EGequeSt.

There are good many Republicans in
this county who will be GLAD to see the
f9llowing note from the inco ruptible old
hero OF the Western Reserve. 1t does US
good to turn from that too large class vino
think because they are working Repub-
iicans therefore they ought to be reward
ed with Office, to that other class, Of which
the Hon. j. r. Giddings is the type, who
work solely for the triumph of their pru-
ciples. The former class are most con-
temptible, aud a dead weigh; to the party
The latter class are the honored and re-
vercd Of the land and are the men who
are lending US on to victory. The testi-
mony and the prophecies Of one of them
is always eagerly listened to, for which
reason we cut the following from the Eoe
Post:
Joshua r. Gdlings spoke at a ratif-
cation meeting in Oberin, Ohio, Tues
day evening. lie said il the course Of
his remarks, referring to Mr. Linoola, that
while they were hotn in Congress they
became Intimately acquainted boarding
at the same house, and sitting opposite
each other at meals that he thought he
knew the heart Of Abraham Lincoln as
well as any living man, and speaking
from that knowledge, he believed that
every beat Of "honcst Abe" heart was a
throb Of sincerity and truth-in word,
that he is that noblest work of God an
honest man. lie believed Lincoln's loy-
atty to Republican principles, and to the
cause Of freedom and humanity, was un-
questionable aud beyoud suspicion.
After the nominations, many delegates
who were going to visit the next Presi-
dent requested Nh Giddings to write a
letter to Mr. Lincoln, He consented,
and Immediately wrote note, in sub
stance as follows;
DEAR LINCOLN: You're nominated YoU
wuL BE ELECTED, After your election, thou
sands will crowd around you, claiming re-
wards for services rendered I, too, have my
claims upon YOU. | have not worked for your
nomination. nor for that Of any other man.
have laburs1 for the establishment Of prin-
ciplss; and when lnen came to nc asking my
opinion of you, l only told them, Lincoln is
4 n honest man All ask OF you in return
70. my services IS, make my statement good
throughout goUr administration.
Yours, GIDDNGs"

The Ticket.

We last week hoisted the Republican
flag for 1860, and gave brief sketch of
the men who are to lead US in the great
battle of Freedom, and the platform upon
which we are to meet the foe We gave,
also, some account of the enthusiastic re-
ceptlou with which the nominations were
greeted by the people Of the rorth. Since
then, large and enthusiastic ratification
meetings have been held in many of the
larger cities and towns, and many are to
be held during The present and next week.
At all the meetings thus far held, there
has been no evidence of dispeasure at
the selections Oh the contrary Honest
Old Ale ;" name has been greeted in a
manner similar to that Of the days of
Tippeeanon. The fact that he is one Of
the pepp!e-EhQ "can split rails or maul
democrats" is Of itself enough to create
the widest enthusiasm in his behalf
The domooratic presses are already howl
ing over Abe's Plebiaa aptepedepts-
thereby clearly demonstrating the d.staste
Of their party for the people, and that
they count aristocratic Wealth as q means
of Oonqperipg plebian wishes, buying
votes with money rather than winning
them by correct policy while at the same
time they claim to be the party of the
People. But their principles and policy
have been too well ventilated by the Co
vode investigation to need discussion here.

the district TO favor his selection. Especially
in giving coQntenance to--and it IS reported,
urging the Pennsylvania delegation 10 follow
the secession Of the Southern delegates, we
do not believe that be can find one real Dem
ocrat among his whole constituency who viii
sustain him. If llr. Dent has any desire to
maintain political existence in this Con-
gressonal district, we advise him to make:
when the convention meets again, the short
est possible tack from the fragncntary mi
nority, with v hom he acted throughout at
Charleston, and get into the ranks OF the
friends Of Judge Douglas just az quick as he
cam or else resign, and give his district an
opportunity to choose somebody who will
honestly represent them at Baltimorc.-Lycom-
ing CARTE.
Mr. Dent but carried out the principles
Of his party and in justice to him, We
claim that he correctly represented the
wishes of the remnant of the party now
remaining in the north. Leading Dem
ocrats hare openly endorse his course at
Charleston. This whining Of the Ga
zeHc is only the result of Mr.. Dents fail
ure to support DouSlas-which we are
informed. lie teiH neecr do, even if that
gentleman be nominated at Baltimore.
Had Douglas been nominated at Charles
ton before the Platform was adopted, the
majority platform would have been
adopted, and Nr. Douglas, the Gazette,
and all Of their stripe would have walked
upon it in humble submission, and with
out murmur. Mr.. Dent is right and
we honor him for the backbone Gas we'll
as the -bone) and honesty he ex-
hibited at Charleston. by standing up
for the true policy Of his party.

G- We have always supposed that a
political party without single leading
principle was an lmpossibilty but in
these progressive times almost any scheme
that men may undertake can be realized
this one among the rest. The ".Con-
stitutional Unionists have solved the
problem and nominated Bell aud Everett
to run for President without any particu-
lar object to run after except the Offices
and the hope of defeating the Republi-
cans, They are going to try fighting a

The German element at the North
West is quite commanding in political
affairs. With every pending election
rises the question; " What do the Ger

because in their hands lies the balance OF
either party. The Democrats used them
in all their triumphs, and this could be
dane easy enough, because the Germans
are, as true Ieutons, freedom loving
Democracy Is, III their understanding and
meaning, The best and cheapest, the most
just and the wisest government which any
people on earth can really enjoy; and
therefore they went for years, cheerfully
and faithfully, with their leaders to the
ballot box, which they considered as the
highest tribunal, where the holy Will Of
the people was decided. The Germans,
generally, are divided in two columns,
the Grays " and the Greens" The
former are always willing to follow the
Democracy-the Greens" 90 with the
Republicans.

National Administration can unite on
the Republican ticket and platform with
out sacrificing either their conservatism
or their nationalism; while at the same
time every true and honest Republican
of whatever antecedents, will fnd them
full up to the standard of lis principles !;
and the choice is emlnently proper for the
emergency of the nation. Energy, back
bone and executive economy are demand
ed now to restore the nation to its pOiti-
cal equilibrium, aud these we have in the
candidates now presented by the Chicago
Convention. Growing up from among
the people in the midst of pioneer life
where the practice Of those qualities be-
come requisite even to safety and success
in life, Abe Lincoln is preeminently fit

HUMBoLT ON AN :" AMERICAN INsrI-
TUITION. .'-Macauley's opinion Of our
experiment" has excited much atten-
ton. In the newly published correspond.
cnce Of Baron Humholt we have the phi
Iosopher'o views succiuotly stated il the
following passage;
:" In the Tn ted States there has, it is true,
arisen a great love for me. bu! the whole three
presents to my mind the sad spectacle Of lib
erty reduced to a mere mechanism in the ele-
mcnt Of utility, exercising. ennobling or eIe-
vating influence upon mind and soul which,
after all, should be the aim Of political liber-
ty. Hence indifference on tie subject OF
Slavery. But the United States are It Carte
sian vortex, carrying everything with them.
grading everything to a leyel ct monotony.
With the Democratic party, regarding
its success in 1886, Humholt is not tea
der. lie says:
And the dsgracctuI party which sells ne
gro, children, and distributes canes Of honor.
as the Russian Emperor does swords ct honor.
and GrAefe's noses OF honor-who would
prove that all white workm,a should rather

a crime !"
