comes from harmony and the most hopeful
zeal. The Journal concludes as follows s.
'The whole affair was most gratifying
demonstration of the spirit of the republicans
of Albany, and a token Of the manner in
which the campaign is TO so forward. Though
New York is safe for Lincoln by tens of thou
sands, the capital of the state has its own local
political redemption TO work out. AND IL
Is TO BE DONE. Our friends elsewhere,
therefore, are requested to receive this open
ing OF the campaign as an earnest of the good
. time coming" when Albany city and county
may be named in the same category with ST.

other healthy localities, where FREEDOM can

There has been much anxiety to know what
kind of man Mr.. johnson, the Douglas can
didate for the vice presidency, is. One of his
friends, the editor of "The Plantation a
quarterly now published in Georgia, gives
the following fearful description of him, the

in 1874, for congress :
''Johnson rushed upon his foes with the

bat tle-axe Like Richard C9ur de Lion,
sci metars of Saladn, he strobe on, right on
de aling his stawart blows right and left, and
ev cry thing was borne down by his ponderous
arm. Like the sleeping lion aroused from his
lair by some careless intruder, he sprang upon
hi victims, tore their flesh, crunched their
bones, and beat their bodies to a jelly by hurl-
in them against the earth that tTembed to
the thunders of his infurate bowls. Like the

Mr.. Greeley, who has never hesitated to
give as much aid and comfort to MIR. Douglas
as he could, writes to the New York Independ-
ent that ''it is doubtful that he will obtain
single electoral vate." Mr. Greeley has also
brought himself to see, what everybody else
saw many weeks ago, that Mr.. Lincoln is GER
tain to carry all the free states, except Caitor-
MIA, and well informed gentlemen do not Who'll
ly despair of carrying even that state.
The Cleveland Plaindealer pays the follow
ing compliment to the Baltimore seceders,
Massachusetts receiving her full share of the
glory. The Paindealer says =
80, what retribution awaits the scoundrels
who, for paltry pay, are opposing Douglas and
his principles. And of all the mean, misery,
lousy, corrupt, and contemplate sons of-ini-
guilty engaged in this dirty, demoralizing
work, the political Hessians from Massachu-
sets, with one Ben Butler at their head and
one DR.. Loring at their tail, are the lowest
and lousiest"
