Opposition Candidates for the Presi-
iencv-NO. l..

The time has come for the Conservative
Opposition Press to speak out, plainly and
earnestly, on the proper nominations to be
made at Chicago, by the National COnven-
| tion, which meets there on the 10th OF
May.
This paper was one of the first which came
out for EDWARD BATES for the Presidency.
In numerous articles, we have adduced ar
gument after argument to show that he ID
| the most available and the safest man
amongst all those whom the Opposition are
likely to put up for that high Office. From
the time when we first took our stand for
Mr. Bates until the present, our faith in his
good qualities has increased until now,
we are firmly of the opinion that, if NOM
mated at Chicago, on a national platform,
his election is certain against any possible
Democratic candidate or platform.
Considerable has been said, of late, both
for and against Mr. Bates. The New York
Tribune, q couple of months ago, took a
manly stand for him, and has presented
some conclusive arguments in his be-
half. The Cincinnati Gazette, after closing
its eyes for months to Mr.. Bates's popularI-
ty, is just beginning to discover the superior
advantages he enjoys over others spoken of
for the nomination. The Gazette, though
heretofore supposed to be Chase paper, now
freely acknowledges that Mr.. Bates has Il
strong hold on the hearts of the people of
the doubtful States" and is evidently be-
ing drawn into the popular current which
sets strongly for his nomination.
That the great conservative" feeling so
ridiculed by extreme Republicans, will
control the nominations at Chicago, we be-
lieve; though it is true, there are few cir
cumstances that seem to indicate otherwise
The action of our State Convention in
yielding to the moderate feeling in tine
Southern portion of the State the falling
in with the Bates movement on the part of
leading papers like the two mentioned above;
the abandonment of the "irrepressible con-
flict" by Mr.. Seward, in Difference to this "con-
servative" feeling, in his recent speech in
the U. S. Senate; the election of Penning-
ton as Speaker of the House; the dscontin-
uance of such ultra papers as The National
Era aud the Repubhc-all these "straws,"
and many more, show which way the wind
blows, and indicate that the people, who
control all these instrumentalities, are for
making the fight on conservative platform,
with "A national man.
We have alluded to some " circumstan-
ces that are unfavorable to Mr.. Bates
nomination. While there are many rea-
sons favorable to his nomination, (which,
as.we have heretofore set them forth fully
we shall not specify now,) there are only
two of these Unfavorable circumstances that
are worthy of serious consideration. These
are-1, The opposition of the fanaticNl Alb
olitionsts to his nomination. 2, The back
wardness of portion of the German Re-
publican element of the Opposition in agree
ing to have him put forward as the candi-
date of the United Opposition.
These two difficulties in his path of tri-
umph, we shall more fully consider here
after.

a.Ss~Tbe last rail of the connection b.

esS"The last rail of the connection be-
tween the b. & o. and the NJ & G. railroad
was laid at Belpre, opposite Parkersburgh,
on the 18th. Nothing but short and con-
venient ferry by steamboat now separates
Baltimore from Cincinnati. The route thus
formed is one of rare magnifcence of scene
ry, shortness of time, and completeness of
equipment. 1t is fitvorite route for pas
sengers going to Baltimore, Washington,
and the seaboard cities generally.

propriated, but the bill which contemplates
two roads proposes an advance of 81 600 600
