The Next President,

This is no time to be President making
Let one every effort be directed to country
saving. We have become disguised, even
at this early day to hear politicians pirate
about the next President. We have a
President now, and that is enough for now
When the time comes for another, we shall
send delegates to National Convention
whe. from the best men in the whole coun
try. will select one. When We arc told
that Abraham Lincoln is good President
an honest, able, man, we endorse it.
Very likely he will be the next President
II 50 We shall be glad. The Chic ago Posi-
declares that he is the most able and mos,
popular man in the Republican party, and
therefore must be the next President. We
deny the Posts conclusion. If had prem
isod that he was the ablest, and most popu
lar man in the country-,hat love for him
was deep seated ser timent in tho hearts
OF the people, we should have endorsed the
for the people, not party will
elect the next President.

Union Meeting.

Although it is sometime since the Union
meeting Of last week, and very good 1e
port Of i, has been published il the R'pub-
Ican, We cannot forbear mentioning the
subject. The meeting was ,mphatically a
Union meeting. Democrats and Republ,
cans were there, but they were all Union
men. Col. Miller followed Gov. Donnclly
in speech rcplete with interest and fine, in
Which the Democratic platform was tho

red to in the above item is, nor do We wisl,
to. We love to think OF humanity in its
nobler forms. inspired By the nobler senti-

We are compelled 10 notice it in its wors,

that control tho human mind. It is noble

Elections.

Elections have taken place in Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana aud Iowa. In Pennsylya
mia and Ohio, the issue was squarsly made.
Union or disunion, and the seccssionists
and traitors have been beaten so badly that,
unless they have the inpudence Of Satan
they will never again show their heads. In
Ohio, the majority for the Union ticket is
somewhere between $1,000 and 10000
Full returns have not yet been received. In
Pennsylvania, the Union majority is abcu,
10000. In Indiana aud Iowa, the Union
victory is complete.
These results are cheering to the nation
They show that the people are true to their
Soun'ry-that they prefer their country to
their party. They show to the secession
lists that they have nothing to hope from
tho aid Of dishouorable peace traitors Of the
North. They .how to European powers
<ha. the loyal North supports the Govern,
went in its persistent, determined effort Ia

lou surmlse correctly, when you say
that you believe me to be the friend Of the
South in her struggle for freedom. Ny
feelings have been publicly expressed in my

Chatham-"My Lords. you cannot conquer
America" There is not drop of Puritan
blood in my veins. hate, despise and defy
the tyranica' Government which has sent
me among you, for my opinions sake, and
shall never give it my support in<ts crusade
upon your institutions. But you are mis-
taken when you say there are but lew such
in the Uni'ed States North. Thousands
are there who woul1 speak out bnt for the
military despotis,n that strangles them.
Although the contest has been, and will
continue 10 BE-, bloody one, you have but
to presevere, and the victory will surely be
yours. You must strike home! The de
