The Union State Convention which
assembled at Pittsburg, on Wednesday of
last week, upon the first ballot, and by a
large majority, nominated ANDREW G..
CURTIN as our candidate for Governor
After the vote had been taken, motion
was put TO make the nomination unani-
NOUS, which was carried, amid the widest
enthusiasm. We congratulate the Union
men not only Of this State, but Of the
whole country, upon the wise and judicious
action of the convention. The announce
thrill oee pleasure through every loyal
heart. 1t was eminently proper that this
Convention, representing, as II did, the
firm and unqualified supporters Of every
effort to crush the Rebellion, should give
US ANDREw G.. CURTIN as our standard
bearer in tie coming contest He has
been weighed in the balance aud not found
wanting; he has been tried as 10 State
Executive ever was tried before, and has
come out of the ordeal with unsullied
fame. Always upon the right size of
every issue, he has, since the war COM
meuccd, spent his days and his nights in
support OF the administration in its efforts
for the preservation of the Union which
we love SO much. by his unwearied and
self sacrificing devotion TO the great cause
of the nation, he has gained for Pennsyl-
vania a position among the loyal States o!
which We may well feel proud.
As the friend OF tho oldier,-whethe er

hospital, he has especially distinguished
himself 1t has been his study to allevi-
ate the hsrdskips aud minister to the
wants of the brave defenders of our
country's flag. He has shared with them
in their joys, and in their sorrows has

The action of the Pittsburg Convention
has shown, in way which cannot be mis-
taken, that the people approve the manner
in which Governor CURTIN has admins
tered his high office, and it has manifested
their warm attachment toward him as

nation-notwithstan the bitter, ma

t,ituents, and have declared that he shall

the candidate for Supreme Judge, the
Couvention has placed at his side an ac-
