But from the very first, Andrew John

the traitors, and denounced them in
terms as explicit and as severe as any
Northern man uttered, or could utter.

Welcome and all hail to the patriot
statesman Of Tennessee, the next Vice
President Of the United States-Chi-
cago Journal
Il is with inexpressible satisfaction
that we place at the head of our col
umns to-day the names Of Abraham
Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, as can
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is super
huous for US to remark, after the re-
peated expressions which we have
heretofore made Of our preference for
Mr.. Lincoln, that he has been from the
beginning and throughout the contest
which preceded the Convention, our
first and last and only choice for the
position towhich he is to be reelected
next fall by the Union men of the ma
ton. The selection of Mr. Johnson for
Vice President is also an eminently
wise and fortunate one.
As to Gov Andrew johnson, nOmi-
mated for Vice President, his name has
been waited to every corner Of the land
since the commencement Of this infer
nal rebellion He fought the conspira-
tors in the Senate before they had com
pleted their hellish work, stood by the
government and the Union when other
southern men combined with traitors
to destroy both, and has continued
faithful to the present day. Among
the loyal Of Tennessee, no name stands
higher and fairer than his No other
man is more cordially hated by rebels,
or more warmly loved by the true Union
men of the south He is emphatically
a representative man, among southern
Union men.-Sandusky CO., Register.
II is not assuming too much Of the
prophetic inspiration to predict that the
action Of the Convention yesterday is
decisive as to the next Presidency
The universal enthusiasm with which
the ticket and platform is greeted leave
no room to doubt that both will be sue
cessf1L The people are with the Con
yention, and their action viii, in No.
vember next, put its seal of approval
upon the proceedings at Baltimore
