The Convention which nominated Ere.
mont was but a very small mass meeting
and if the m should be dropped from the
word mass nothing more than the truth
would probably be told. There were about
one hundred and fifty delegates present all
told, and these were self appointed The
chief fugleman. Of the gathering was Col.
Moss, now editor Of small paper published
at Springfield, Missouri, and late Of the FIRST
Iowa Cavalry, And this congregation of
sore heads aspired to the dignity Of Ma.
tional Convention. Preposterous! The peo-
pie had no voice in it whatever, anu no jour
mails, save of the copperhead persuasion, have
had anything to say in its favor, and even
these have gone back on the nominees of the
illstarred bantling. All this seriously af-
fects no one but the "Path finder" who
has found "short cut" to political death.

Now You sse r Ayp now You n,s,r-A

Now You SEE IT AND Now You DoN'T.--A
few days ago the Chicago Times was very
sweet on Fremont Hear Fit: a
Fremont has'resigned the service Of Lin
coin, and is preparing to lead a movement
HIMSELF As between'thcse two individuals,
the sympathy Of no good man will hesitate a
moment in its choice. Lincoln heads shoddy,
military despotism, office holders, and vast
horde who have plundered, and stolen, and
abused this poor people until they have little
left to remind them of their former greatness.
Fremont starts at the head OF a party, hon
est in its desires, to labor and abolish an
atrocious military tyranny, to rescue the ma
I.tion from the depths into which it,has been
tumbled, and place its feet upon firm groand.'
Bnt, presto, change. No sooner had the
Cleveland Convention betrayed the shoddy
character Of its patriotism, and done all that
its feeble influence could do to disorganize
che Union elcmsntof the country, than the
Times betrays the cloven foot, as follows;
" The Cleveland convention has insured
the defeat of Lincoln and the election Of
better man than Fremont, for which let US
thank God and be grateful. To appropriate
a methodism, lct'us feel to rejoice.'"
Designing traitors have made fool Of
Fremont, and he, with an imbecility that we
had supposed was not a part of his nature,
has been drawn into the meshcs spread for
him. They have Induced him to course of
open hostility to the Union cause, and this
accomplished they kick him aside as some
thing Cor which they have no further use,
and chuckle over their adroitness. But the
game will not win. The people understand
this nice little arrangement, and will defeat
it despite all the efforts Of eopperheads and
Union torys of the Fremont stripe. .. NJ

Why Osehrane w NomIpnt.d.

The correspondent Of the New York
Herald writes as follows concerning the
nomination Of General Cochrane for Vice
Pres. dent by the Cleveland ConVent,on:
"Some Of the Fremont leaders had settled
upon John Coohrsne as their candidate
for Vice President, with a view Of aiding
in their movement at Chicago. But the
question was how they should get the Ger
mans to vote for him, who comprised a
large msjOrity Of the Convention, and
were all in favor Of B. Grstz Brown, Of
Missouri. A few Of the leaders, however,
were worked for COckrane; but they made
but little heRdWsy among the large body
Of the Germans. But proVidential cir
cumstance soon settled the point.
The Committee On Resolutions brought
cided that the vote on each resolution
SHOULD be taken separately. The first res
olution read as folloTs
/" ResolUed, That the Federal Union must
and shall be preserved"
Rev. b. 7. Cheever, brother Of DR..
CheeVer, Of New York, Immediately moved
to amend, 30 that it would read;
"Resolvsd, That, with Gods blessing,
the Federal Union must and shall be re-
served"
This caused quite 8 sensation smong
the Germans, many Of whom were infdels;
but Mr.. Cochrane promptly put the quei-
ton, as follows -" All those in favor Of
amending the resolution by the insertion
of Goods blessing" will say fsye;" all op.
posed Hno." Gods blessing is lost" said
Cochrane. The suddenness with which il
was put, and several circumstances con-
nected, caused quite . sensation. The mo-
ment that quiet was restored the Germans
could be heard Whisl ering to each other
nDash ish the man." "Dash ish the man. y
awaits da he shsys bout Gods blessingF'
uDish ish the man" From that moment
on was impossible to get the Germans (
think Of any other person for Vice Presi'
dent but General COohrsne, and when his
name was proposed they rushed 1t through
with q will, al owing to that one ittl'
circumstance, which only shows how
little thing decides mans fate in polite
al campaigns"

says:
At eight A. n. on The 9Th the Runbosts
Commodore Perry and General ButIeF
opened fire on the rebel Fort Clifton, near
Petersburg, Virginia, which were readily
answered by the graybseks. The Comma
dore Perry lay up the right branch Of the
river shove Fort Wslthan, q distance OF
between three and four miles from the
rebel fort, while the General Putnam, be-
ing Of lighter drsught, ran up the left
branch within one and half miles Of the
rebels works, and delivered fire with such
precision as to cause the partial abandon
ment Of their works. But from masked
battery to the right Of the main works an
ineessant FIRE was kept upon US until to.
wards noon, when the 6rs from the gun.
boats having silsnoed the guns Of the main
fort, they directed their FIRE entirely at
this interesting object on the right, which
had been source of great annoyance to
US during our engagement with the main
battery. But it was evident that the reb-
els did not relish our mede Of doing busi-
ness, and they retired. Firing from our
side continued st intervals throughout the
day. No damage Was done to the gun
boats engaged 1t was q splendid affair,
and reflects great credit On the officers and
men Of both vessels.
