Yesterday morning delegate made
what he called prayer, in which he gave

Stanton's last bulletin and Grants. dis.
patch about fighting it out on this line.
He then diverged into Maryland politics.
and informed the Lord all about tbs'

some length on the business before the.
convention, told the Almighty thst'the
nominee of this convention would be tho
next President of the. United States, and
prayed that, to that end 'fhe people
may come and roll up an overwhelming
majority for the nominees, at the Novep,.
bcr election These were his exact words.
Another delegate, in a speech which he
made to the convention, spoke of Abra
ham Lincoln, the smutty joker, as !" ths
second Savior of the world, and no ons
rebuked him. Indeed, indecencyl and
profanity prevailed to such m extent in
the convention that it was easy to sea that

In a debate in the United State Senate
on the 9th Of June, Of which no mention
was made by telegraph disclosure was
made whicS will awaken the people to a
realization of the frightful waste of life
and money which this country is suffering,
under the rule of blunderers and buffoons,
Mr.. Wilson, chairman of the military
COMMITTEES, stated that since the 18th of
October last, six hundred thousand white
men and one hundred thousant negroes
have enlisted, or re-enlisted into the
Union armies, and that one hundred and
twenty-five million dollars have been
spent in bounties since that time. Think
of it, for moment: 10000 men furnish
ed within six months, and the Administra-
N still crying for more! and the money,
S125, ,O00, 900, spent as bounties Is there
not good ground for the belief that this
stupendeus sum, instead Of being devoted
to its legitimate purpose, has gone into
the pockets cfloyal patriots and Aboli-
tion brawlers?
Was there ever such waste Of life and
treasure since the world began Men
enough have been supplied, and money
enough contributed, during the past six
month to have crushed the rebellion twice
over, had our leaders been other than they
are, buffoons and fanatics. And yet this
is the Administration we are called upon
to keep in power four years more upon
pain of being charged and punished for
disloyalty and treasonl

The blood and thunder Linconites
got up ratification meeting in lndianap-
oils last week, to " respond to the Bslti-
more nominations" but the people refas-
ed to respond" A person present as
surss us that NOS over two hundred and
fifty to three hundred persons were pres
ent. Gov Morton was there with official
relainers, but the people refused to follow
the bloody crew.
Gov. Morton was in bad humor about
it, and after venting his spleen on those
absent, fell upon Fremont and abused him
without limits. Our friend, who was
present, thinks from what he could hear
while in Indianapolis, that the Fremont
ers viii beat it at their ratification meet
ing, soon, to come of, ten to one. He
says the Germans have split ffem the
Republicans and will lleppose Morton, who
is candidate for reelection, and the
whole !. Republican, arbitrary, bastiIs
ticket.
Being citizen of Ohio. our informant
could only guess from what he could see,
but came to the conclusion that Morton
will be badly beaten this fall for Governor.

A B2Odel Govern mn eRt.

The promise of the Republican papers,
and Abolition stump speakers, before the
days Of Abraham, (the joker,) to bring
back the Government to the purity of our
fore-f fathers, having failed, it may not,
perhaps, be deemed disloyal to make an
estimate of the number of persons engag-
ed in the blessed work of redemption,
their character, position, influence, and
condition in life. We enumerate as fol-
lows: s a
100000 dishonest contractors. :.
100000 shoddy makers. 'I q @
5000 political preachers. oef s
10000 abolitionists who love negroes.
100. 600 black Republicans.
Fred Douglas.
Anna Dickinson.
100000 other strong minded women.
80 or 60 weak sisters, in Chase's De-
partment.
100000 negro soldiers.
And the list might be continued adm
fnitum, but the above will answer. Take
this salt of the land and distribute it
throughout the country, and woe unto the
purity of the Government of Abraham !

rA- The official career of Fish, Schenck' q
Provost Marshal at Baltimore, just par
doned out of the Penitentiary to which
he was sentenced by court-martia!, is de-
cribed as a perpetual oscillation between
grand and petty larceny. Diamonds and
spoons, farms and snuff boxes, paintings
and pianos, horses and niggers, the orna-
ments of churches and the jewelry OF
prostitutes, were alike to him. He stole
them all indiscriminatcly. He was par
tieular friend to Schenck and Lincoln,
and the President pardoned him. He has

1t is conceded on all hands that the
adoptlen of the Crittenden Compromise
would have prevented disunion and war.
Is there an honest man in all the land
who can place his hand upon his heart
and say he does not regret that it was re-

holders of the abolition party would say
they did not regret it; but in speaking of
honest men we do not refer to them
