just So.
The Democrats don't like to hear the
epithet "honest," so universally applied
to the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent. They know it is a well. earned
and deserved compliment, and not being
able to dispute it, they attempt to throw
It's use into ridcule. A Democrat of
the Douglas persuasion, with this object
in view, and to show the absurdity of
the expression said: "Only think how
ridiculous it would appear, and what
fnn the Republicans would make of it,
if the Democrats should say, 'honest old
buchanan or 'honest Stephen Doug
las!'' Tho crowd acknowledged that
spch nm application Of the term acor'd

A Adjournment of c Jngress.

Both Houses of Congress, some time
ago, voted to adjourn on the 18th inst
But finding it impossible to complete the
business absolutely necessary to be done
iii that time rescinded the resolution
few days since, and agreed to adjourn on
the 25th-yesterday. Wehave not heard
whether they did so adjourn, or whether
the time was again extended We see
no need of such haste in adjourning.
When the members were paid by the day,
the sessions were extended until the
business was done. They now get three
thousand dollars year, and are in such
haste that it seems they must adjourn
without accomplishing anything. Does
the difference in the mode of receiving
their pay make any difference in the
length of their sessions? We simply ask
for information.

baltimore Convention.

baltimore COnv entiOn.
AT the time of going to press (Mon-
day evening VIC have none of the de-
tails of the proceedings of this body
later than Thursday-up to that time
the storm. ragged with redoubled fury
We received short Telegraphic dis
patch on Saturday which will be found
in our columns, which shows that the
Convention split in two and that Doug
las was nominated by his supporters
Whether the other half of the Conven-
tion nominated candidate or not we
have not heard. We will doubtless be
able to give details next week. Will
Douglas accept the nomination of mere
sectional faction in the face of his posi-
tive declaration to the contrary? We
cannot answer. 1t isnot of the slightest
consequence to the Republicans
whether he does or not. It will be seen
by the dispatch that Southern Democrats
offer to bet ten dollars to one that
Douglas will not carry single State in
the Union. We do not believe it posi-
bic for him to carry any Free State, but
we suspect he may carry some of the
slave States. But not enough to come
within sight of an election. Great times
ahead. Let every thinking man reflect
upon the condition of the broken and
scattered fragments, of the once great
Democratic party, and the causes which
produced it, and then act as his judg-
ment and conscience shall dictate.

JUDGE BATES.

Judge Bates, of Missouri, has pub
lished long and very able letter, Civ
ing in his adhesion to the Republican
party, and his reasons for supporting
Lincoln and Hamlin for President and
Vice President, in the coming campaign.
We will try to find room for it hereafter.
1t will have, as it certainly should, great
influence with that class of citizens who
claim to be conservative.
Judge Bates is acknowledged by all
to be an able Statesman, and a man Of
great purity of character. He has never
before identified himself with the Re-
publican party. Living in a slave State,
and being lifelong Wing, when that
party was dissolved, he did not attach
himself to any other. He supported
Fillmore in 1856, not because he was an
American, but because there was then no
Republican party in Missouri, and he
preferred Fillmore to Buchanan, knowing
them both, as he did, by years of personal
acquaintance, as well as from their pub
lie histories.
Judge Bates was prominent candidate
before the Chicago Convention, and if
his position and sentiments had been as
we'll known before the delegates were
chosen, as they are now, he would, in all
probability, have received the nomination.
But that honor having been conferred
upon Lincoln, Judge Bates most grace
fully acquiesces and gives his cordial
support to the ticket. He pays high
compliment to the ability, uprightness
and patriotism of the candidates, and by
his manly course has made an impression
upon the public mind which will not be
forgotten hereafter. Missouri will Civ e
very strong Republican vote; and while
we do not suppose it probable that the
Republicans can carry the State, their
chances are about as good as that of the
Democrats in any of the free States.

Honorable Conduct.

3. P. Blair, of Missouri, who was re-
Gently admitted to his seat in Congress,
on contest with Barrett, who received
the certificate, has just given specimen
of high-toned honorable dealing which
is rather unusual in these latter days.
He has written home, to St. Louis, Civ
ing the people of his District notice that
he will resign his seat. In his letter he
says
II made the contest to expose the
frauds of the bogus Democrats, and re-
store to the people the right of electing
their own representative.
Itis supposed that he and Barrett will
again be candidates. If the Bell and
Everett party do not get up candidate
to aid the Democrats, Blair will be elected
by tremendous majority.

The Grand FiZzle.

4hc OTauu C1LL4cs
Our readers will remember with what
a pertenacious assurance the Democratic
leaders charged upon prominent Repub-
licans completely with John Brown in
his raid upon Virginia. A committee
was appointed by the Senate, heaaed by
Mason Of Virginia, to investigate the
matter, and every administration paper
in the country predicted such revelations
as would annihilate the Republican party
forever.
Well, the committee have spent many
months in the effort to implicate some
body who had, once in his life, voted
against the Democracy. For this pur-
pose, witnesses were summoned from the
North, South, East and West-from the
States and Territories-and every device
which ingenuity could exert, was resorted
to, to get testimony which by plausi-
BILE inference could be made to reflect
upon some Republican. 1t was thought
that the success of the Democratic party,
depended upon the success with which
this committee could get up an election
eering document, in the form of a report,
that could be used in the coming cam
o .ign. But tie scheme ha wholly
filled. The committee have made the r
report-which is complete refutation
of the charges it was expected to estab-
lish. No Republican is implicated di-
rectly or Indirectly. The whole thing
is most perfect fzzle. So ends the
Harper's Ferry humbug.

And Still They Come

And Still They Come.
The German citizens of the United
States, seem to be moving in almost solid
column into the ranks of the Republi-
can party. There is a very large Ger
man population in Southern Indiana
These have, heretofore, voted the Dem
ocratic ticket in mass, and have thus
given that party the political power in
that State. But the persistent efforts of
the Southern leaders to degrade the
laboring white man, by compelling him
to take his place along side of the un-
paid negro slave in all the Territories,
have ehectually opened their eyes to the
true position of parties, and they are
coming over to the Republicans ina per-
feet stampede.
The old and influential German daily
newspaper, the TolksJode, Of Evansville,
which has been Democratic from its
start, has hoisted the names of Lincoln
and Hamlin, and will be powerful in
strumentality in the Republican cause
during the campaign. This paper op-
posed the Lecompton villainy with
manly vigor and took sides with Doug
las. But it now separates itself wholly
from the party and supports the Repub-
lican ticket. The result is said to he
an almost unanimous determination of
the German citizens of Southern In
diana and Illinois to join the Republican
ranks. If there was any doubt hereto
fore of the vote of Indiana, that doubt
is dissipated. Lincoln and Hamlin will
sweep the State.

How 1t Takes.
We have the names of seventeen new
Republican papers recently started in
the State of Illinois, and the Chicago
Press, which gives them, says that sew
eral papers in that State, heretofore neu-
trail, have came out for Lincoln and the
Republican party. Even down in
EGYPT" several Republican papers
have sprung up and promise to be well
sustained, in counties which gave Ere
mont scarcely vote four years ago
Illinois will give Lincoln such a major
ity as will astonish all outsiders. And
so mote it be.
