HOcus P0cus.

Several weeks ago, the Times pub
lished q County ticket which had been
recommended to the Democracy
by the Mcclellan Club" Since that
time, mum has been the word in regard
to the ticket, and we have heard nothing
of Convention, at Babytown or else
where, to nominate according to the
time honored Democratic custom.
The Democracy have not "seen
proper" to meet in Convention and
nominate, but have adopted the plan of
nominating in secret caucus of the
Knights of the Golden Circle, with doors
closed and window-blinds drawn down.
Suddenly, like clap of thunder in a
clear sky, the rebel organ announces
81 the ticket" to the faithful, and tells
them for whom to vote.
The following is the announcement:
ave put up at the head of our col
umus to-day the Democratic ticket rec
commended by the Mcclellan Club. We
are authorized to state that if the proper
authorities call Democratic County
Convention, these gentlemen will submit
their names to it and abide its decision.
oh, that eft" Iii not very likely
that any Convention viii be called. 1t
is plain that the whole proceeding has
been cooked up--cut and dried-in the
lodge of the Knights.
So here ticket is offered TO the

o'clock, r. N
For the purpose Of nominating candi-
date for Congress The various eoun-
ties in the District are requested to per-
feet their organizations Immediately and
appoint dag, say Saturday, July 10Th,
1864, for holding County Conventions,
to select delegates TO the District Con
vention. County committees are re-
quested to assist in organizing the vari-
Gus townships in each county, that they
may hold meetings and be represented
in the County Conventions.
Friends of the union, let Us be awake
10 our duty Let mere partyism find no
place in our bosons while our country
needs our united support. While our
land is being drenehsd in blood in order
to preserve the noble heritage our ia
theirs left Us; while our friends in the
army are gathering their host for q
anai struggle for the life Of the nation
and while our eagles are mounting the
battiements Of the enemys strongholds
let one united voice 90 up from every
patriot in the land declaring that "thii
Union must and shall be preserved
Let us perform our duty, and a glorioni
triumph awaits us.
By order Of the Union Congressiona
Committee.

Union Meeting Last Night.

Mozart Hall was filed last night by
an orderly and appreeiative audience,
assembled to hear speech from Hon.
G.. NJ. ALLEN Of Vincennes.
At eight o'clock the Crescent City
Band marched to the Hall, and opened
with some Of their melodious music, and
the crowd followed and quickly filed the
Hall.
Col Alien was introduced By W. T..
French, Esq. We took notes of his
speech, but cannot publish full abstract
this morning This we may do hereaf-
ter. We shall, however, notice some
points that he made which relate to his
position as a probable candidate for
Congress, and that ought to be given
this morning in order that his position
may not be misrepresented and misun-
derstood By the Convention Of to-day.
Col Allen took the very disinterested
and sensible ground that no mere per-
sonal considerations should be allowed
to control nominations this year, and
said that he was in favor of that man
who could bring the most votes to the
State ticket He claimed to be entirely
unsel6sh, and to desire only the success
Of the Union cause. II was, he said, all
important to re-elect a loyal Governor
and loyal State ticket, otherwise the
whole power Of the State will be given
in behalf Of the Rebellion and against
the Government. Therefore, the Con-
vention should select the strongest man
they can find He did not seek the nom
ination, but was willing to make the
race if the Convention thought him the
strongest man; and whether nominated
or not, intended to canvass the District
and exert himself for the success Of the
loyal cause.
He had heard that an objection had
been raised against him because he was
q STAKEHOLDER. He was a candid man,
and speaks what he thiaks, and feels
what he speaks He was stakeholder,
and there was a peculiarly about him
he was an abolition stakeholder. he de.
tailed the circumstances under which be
held slaves in Clark county, Kentucky
In 1856 his father died, and left him part
of family Of negroes He was then
living on this side of the river, having
left Kentucky fourteen years previous
in order to escape the blighting effects
of slavery or the lower and middle
classes. He would have emancipated
these negroes, but, unfortunately, the
laws of Kentucky forbade this Sell
them he would not he hadn't, when
he spoke, seen them for four years. His
Instructions to his agent were to allow
the negroes to select their homes each
year, and to pay them the wages they
earned, as their own. Since he owned
them he had not taken dollar of their
wages, and did not intend to do so here.
after.
The negroes, he said, were going tt
be free, and in Kentucky too. The tim,
was not far Off One " boy" from % tt
20 years Of age had gone into the Fed
eral army, and had received his hount,
of $500 which was his (the negro's) owl
money. He had no scruples about tn
use of negroes in the army, and kne'
they would fight They were no bette
than white men, and if they would hel

Enquiries having been recently made
by different persons in reference to my
political views in the present canvass,
and whether am in favor of Gen. FREE
mont for President, desire to state
that my voice, vote and influence (al-
though small and feeble, will be hearth
ly given for LINCOLN and Johnson.
Although | supported Mr.. Fremont in
1856, his position in this canvass is such
that he can have no hope of receiving q
thousand votes, unless he can obtain the
nomination Of the Copperhead Conven-
ton which is to be held at Chicago next
month.

Why Prices a'c High.

The stock Of Sugar, Coffee, Tea &C., is
low. that we all admit tn, tariff on tn, SC
articles is high, and that also has some eff:
ect on the prices: bat tho g. eat reason why
they bear such exhorbitant prices is, the
spectators have it all, holding on for larger
profits. 1t is said that thsy are carrying
enormous quantities Of those articles and
paying one per cent per month interest on
money to enable them to do i. It is es,i
mated that tie New York banks have
