remarked that acting as a second was

Iramplitg on his memory by voting to

how low and utterly base is the man
who was saved by the gallant soul Of

The FRIENDS OF GEN. CAMERoN.-
The Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraph, the
original Cameron organ, and one Of
the ablest Journals of the old keystone,
says:
"Mr. Seward had many warm and
sincere friends among our delegation,
but it was conceded by al parties that
he could not carry this State, conse-
quently Abe Lincoln was heartily sup
ported by the friends OF General Cam
eron, and he received the nomination
by their aid. Although the friends of
Mr.. Cameron were defeated in their
first choice, yet they have the proud
satisfaction to know that they had the
power to dictate the man as their sec
ond choice, and we are confident that
all the true friends Of Gen. Cameron
will give Mr.. Lincoln their hearty and
enthusiastic support.'

From Africa,

The \. 7. Tribune has the following
interesting account of the return of JON
athan J. Meyers, a colored gentleman
formerly residing in Milwaukee, who
kept grocer's stand on Mason street.
nearly opposite the Walker House.
The Dutch brig Zeenymph, from the
Cape Of Good Hope, has just returned
to this port with Jonathan J. Movers,
q colored citizen Of Milwaukee, Wis
consin, who, having by industry amass.
ed considerable property, projected, a
year ago, trip to Africa, in which he
assigned himself an excursion through
the eastern part Of the continent, up to
the channel Of the Mozambique. The
object Of the expedition was to ascer-
tain and report TO the colored people
of this country the natural resources of
that region Of Africa, and the prospects
there to be found for the people Of his
class.
Tie greater part Of ~. Meyers time
was spent in Port Natal, on the east
era shore, the extreme northern tern1i-
nus Of the settlement of the Doors,
where the chief part Of his cabinet was
made up. He brought with him a
male and female KaAir sheep and a
Malay sheep. These animals form the
main element Of wealth Of the native
chiefs, and are remarkable for their
great tails. lie also has several Afri-
can chickens which do not differ mate.

wines, but these were intercepted

Gov. Chase on the Nomination Of Lin

At a large ratification meeting held
in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday even
ing, Gov. Chase was called upon for 4
speech, and addressed the multitude
eloquently, endorsing the Chicago nom-
nations, and expressing the belief that
they would be elected. From a pub
hshed report of his speech we extract
the opening portion:
My feline citizens. In this mighty
gathering and in this all prevailing en-
thusiasm, | see the issue of the cam
palgn. The manner in which YOU and
your tcllow-citizens throughout the

Ratification Meeting.

Last Saturday evening the booming
OF the old cannon summoned the peo-
pie together to ratify the nominations
OF the Chicago Convention and to take
preliminary steps toward the formation
of a Wood County Republican Club.
The meeting was called to order by G.
Nj. Webb, Esq, WHO moved the cleo
ton of j. n. Brundage to the chair,
and on motion Thos Humes was cho-
sen secretary. The letting off Of pent-
up enthusiasm being first in order, Mr..
Webb led off in his usual happy and
effective manner. His effort was well
received. After repeated calls for c.
K. Martin, Of Milwaukee, that gentle
man appeared and delivered most ell
oquent, pointed and telling speech
He was frequently interrupted by plau-
dts from the auditory. Messrs. Bach
elder, Witter and Philleo were sever
ally called out, and remarks were clio
tied which conduced in great degree
to the enjoyment Of the evening.
4 committee, consisting Of Messrs.
Webb, Garrison, Bachelor, Botkin
and Witter, was appointed to draft a
Constitution for the organization Of q
Republican Club, after which the meet
ing adjourned to meet next Wednes-
day evening.

The People Aroused.

The happy result Of the deliberations
Of the Chicago Convention, both In the
selection Of candidates, and III the
adoption of its Platform, has set the
whole Northern States all a-blaze with
enthusiasm. The JOY Of the people is
uubounded. Booming Of cannon, rat
iication meetings, and constant ex-
pressed satisfaction with the nominees
and admiration for the Platform upon
which they are running, give token Of
victory on the 9th day Of next Noyem-
Der. It seems like return Of Clip
pecanoe'' times, but we shall not have
the Tyler too" In the person of MIR.
Iamlin we have q true man--a man
who, when his party (the Damocratic)
made the Lccompton issue the test OF
orthodoxy, babe it q fnal farewell in
the patriotic sentence, Il love my
country more than ! love my party"
The man who SO manifestly obeyed tie
promptings Of clear conscience at
such a iunctrrc, when money and pow
CT were layishIy bestowed upon those
who would join in carrying out the in
iquitous scheme, deserves the warmest
esteem and high official position at the
hands of his countrymen.
The well-carned reputation Of Mr..
Lincoln, rs 4 pure man, an able states
man, and n selfsacrifcing soldier, i'll
important political contests, excites the
admiration of intelligent men Of all
parties. Even Douglas, when it was
announced to him that Lincoln was
nominated, honestly calculated, eve
had hard words in SO; but Mr.. Lincoln
is both able and honest" In mo-
mcnt Of quietude, when the scared con-
science Of the Little Giant became
somewhat softened, he spoke what he
knew to be true Of his political oppo-
nent. Would to God that Lincoln or
anybody else could truthfully accord
the virtue of honesty to the "danger-
Gus magazine of mischief" as he is
styled.
The conceded ability and noble pa
triotism of the Republican candidates,
the reckless and corrupt waste Of mon
ey by Pierce and Buchanan, and the
continual encroachmcnts by the adj
ministration, at the dictum of the
Sonth, upon the constitutional rights
OF the North, all conspire to arouse
the masses in the Northern States to
such degree Of enthusiasm as has
never been displayed on the Western
Continent. The prairies Of the Great
West are all a-fre with excitement,
while the hills and vallies Of the East
crn and Middle States reverberate with
the shouts of 'Frec Soil and Free
Speech, "-'Lincoln and Hamlin -
The conservative men and presses Of
al parties are uniting for the triumph
OF Lincoln, Liberty and Law, over De-
mocracy, Disunion and Disorder.

a DEMOCRATIC OPINION. The
Louisville Courier is the ablest and
most influential exponent Of Democrat
cy in Kentucky, and the especial organ
Mr.. Guthrie It's opinions, therefore,
are entitled to consideration. Speak
ing Of the Republican nomination for
President, the Courier says: ''He is,
we are inclined to believe, the strong
est nomination that could have been
made by the scctionalists. AS ultra
radical as Seward, lie is not regarded
as SO dangerous by the masses, and is
far less Objectionable, on the score Of
antecedents, as very large class in
the party Of which he is a candidate,
who, while acting with it, claim to be
moderate, conservative, and constit;l-
tlonal men. He will probably unite the
strength Of Seward and Bates. The
fact that he received plurality vote
IN his own State, IN contest with
Douglas, in which the latter made the
most superhuman exertions, will con-
vince even the fast friends of the Cit
tie Giant" that his nomination at the
Baltimore Convention would only re-
suit in the overthrow Of his party, and
induce them to turn their attention to
some one who can make up elsewhere
the loss which is inevitable in Illinois. :"

No caI,smniator has waged his en-
venomed tongue against his name
On the contrary, we hear him spoken
OF as ''Honest Old Abe" This home
~ title is eloquent in his favor, remind
ING rs OF that other honest statesman,
long since dead and gone, whom we
have nevertheless not quite forgotten
-"Honest John Dayis.'' The soubri-
cue, speaks volumes in favor Of our
candidate. We wish nothing better
than honesty in our next President,
and we wish nothing less, especially at
this time Of execrabIe want OF integrity
in high places, aye, in the highest pla-
ces. Honest men were never so need
ed in public places, rs they are now
Public men generally have talent
enough and to spare, but in the quality
of honesty they are, very many Of them,
miserably deficient. The consequent
ces we see every day,

other column is an article from the

Of that State, giving its opinion in re-
gard to the strength Of Lincoln. Be
low is an article from the Louisville
Democrat, the Douglas organ i'll that
city. 1t says:
THE nomination of Lincoln at Chi
cage is the strongest the party could
have made. We have regarded Lin
coin since 1913, as their available man;
but Stewards friends have been SO ac-
tive lately, and made so much interest
for him, that we were inclined to think
he might get the nomination. His par
tv however were wiser than we gave
them credit for. They have got the
availability, and lost nothing in talent
upon their ticket; for while Seward
has more reading and experience than
Lincoln, the latter is his superior in real
ability. Douglas has not met as near
ly his match in debate, whether III ar
guilent or tact, as he did when he met
Abraham Lincoln i'll his own State.

be easily beaten, and is idle to under
