Glory to God in the Highest y

y
We have received the glorious intsll-
gence, says the Ohio Plain Dealer, that
the great Convention which has been
in session at the city Of Chicago, has done
homage to the desire Of the large majority
Of the People of the North, in putting in
nomination, for the Presidency of the Un-
ted States, the patriot, soldier and stases-
man, GENERAL GEORGE B. Nc
OLELLAN.
Let the flags hoat merrily from the
housetops. Let the big gun roarin unison
Let the people exchange congratulations.
1t is grand day for the Republic. Even
handed justice has at last iulflled its mis-
sion. The brave officer, the christian
gentleman, the sound patriot, the wise
thinker, who has so long been recklessly
persecuted and villifed, has been taken up
by the great masses, and will be put in
the place of the foolish and corrupt man
who avaied himself of his official station
to outrage the public conviction, and de-
prive the nation of the ability and zeal of
its noblest citizen.
Three times three cheers for tho Hero
of Antietam !! !!
We will rally about him with a fervor
that will never diminish. We will sustain
him with an energy that shall know no
tagging The news Of his nomination will
run electrically through the old brigades,
of the Potomac Army. Grey bearded
veterans will shed tears Of joy, when they
learn that their beloved commander is the
choice of the people, in the greatest poll
ticaI contest ever held in America, and
those of us who are engaged in civil affairs
will grow glad and strong in the thought
that our national affairs are to be commit
ted to the hands OF so pure and noble O
man.
Let us give one wild hurrah and then
begin the active work of the campaign.
HowLs OF THE DooMEp.-The astonish'
ing upanimity and accord Of sentimen
among the delegates to the Chicago Dem
ocratic Convention have taken the hordeE
of shoddy all aback. NJ Clellan nomina-
ted on the first ballot, by an overwhelm
ing majority, and his nomination thol
made unanimous on motion. Of Hon. @. l.
Vallandigham, is too much for them en-
tirely and the selection Of Mr.. Pendletol
on second ballot, literally sends them oi
, with indignant howls. They can't under
6 stand it at least they say they can't
Perhaps they will open their faculties
little better after they see the unanimit
with which the people are taking up tn
grand refrain ol NJ Clellau and Pend dletol
and hear the peoples shouts arising fror
every valley, laundering from every elf
and coursing along every broad prairi
from Name to Minnesota. Howl ana Ii
:, on, ye abomnable miscreants of the vii
n plundering legion OF shoddy; your doc
!, is sealed, the tables OF the money change
o will be upset, the thieves will be drive
j. from the temple, and the business of 'la
If tening on the necessities of the nation
= will be wound up with sudden start
g STRAws.-The New York IfiJun
and Times, the Washington Chroascl
and sundry other organs of the totteriI
AZ Lincoln dynasty, take issue against Il
l. proclamation of the President, making Il
al abandonment of slavery the principal col
'e dition ofpeace. Will Lincoln back dow
ID or succumb to the gathering pressure al
Ut resign One or the other be will have
y do, so that we can safely risk to say
" "Good bye, Uncle Abraham-a safe jou
ID uey to--Boston."
