SWe have placed at our mast
head the ticket nominated by tht
Baltimore Convention on the 7th inst
and SO far as practicable advocate
the cause of which Abraham Lincoln
and Andrew johnson are made the
standard bearers.
There is an eminent fitness in the
nomination of these gentlemen, al
this time. Both are emphatically
men of the people, who by their
force of character, and national abil-
tiles have elevated themselves to
high position despite of every effort
on part of the slave holding aristoc-
racy to h',Li tlsn Bothhave
been loudly abused and sneered at
on account of their plebeian origin,
and no doubt we shall still hear the
charges rung upon the Illinois rail
splitter, and the Tennessee tail
or.
But all such slang will avail moth
ing. The aristocracy Of the South
stepped IS they are in treason, and
their co-adjutor of the North, who
yet cling to the idea that capital
should own labor, that the elective
franchise shoul6'lse given. only to
prsperty Holders andtha the people
are not able to govern themselves,
may endeavor to stigmatize these
men in their usual style 1t will
avail nothing. The former as a class
are about taking their departure as
We hope forever, and the latter If
they do not already see it, will, be-
fore the Iss day of January next,
receive tangible proofs, that the scep-
tire has departed from, them.
The loyalty of Abraham Lincoln
and Andrew johnson has been too
well tested, to admit of any doubt
Their honesty of purpose no man
can truthfnlly assail.
Both have given proof of their
executive abilities, and beyond these
three requirements, the masses oi
the people at this crisis will not care
to go.
The campaign on part ofthe Union
party is fairly opened. The Copper
heads are dodging about in search
not OF an honest, loyal man, but ot
some available candidate, who the
lucky individual may be, remains tc
be seen. No matter who he may b,
he is destined to an overwhelming
defeat.

~Will somebody devise ways
and means to obtain a sword for
Gen. Mcclellan?
At the New York fair, Gen. Grant
received it, at the st Louis fair Gen.
Hancock defeated him and obtained
the prize, and the indications are
that Gen. Meade will carry off the
honors at the Fair now in progress
in Philadelphia. The Copperheads
have thus far contributed literally
to the funds of these several fairs,
for the purpose of obtaining a vote
in favor of their candidate FOR the
Presidency. The investment has
not paid well in political point of
view and rather seriously damaged
the prospects of ''Littlemak' at the
Chicago convention-"Straws show
the course of the wind"

EMIGRATION TO THIS "RUIN-
ED COUNTRY"

Since thewar began, many Of the
English papers have not ceased to de-
clare that this nation is on the verge
of ruin, and that it's doom is certain.
And yet, since the war began, there
has not been a month when a portion
of her Msjestys subjects, stalwart,
industrious men and women, just
such subjects as she specially needs,
have not been landing on our shores
to cast in their fortunes with this
''ruined nation" 1t is remarkable
that the longer the war continues
the more does the tide of emigra-
ton increase. The nearer we ought
to be, according to the predictions of
England to destruction, the more
attractions do we seem to present to
the European working classes
And now, when, according to the
amiable trans atlantic prophet, the
grand cataclysm ought to have ar
rived, and old chaos to have resumed
its sway on this continent, we hear
the Liverpool and Dublin journals
crying out in dismay at the enorm-
Gus emigration which is going on
from Ireland to the United States
In vain do the British Government
and all the colonial authorities at
tempt to turn the steps Of the emf
grants to Australia, New Zealand, and
British America. With unconquerable
pertinaeity the men persist in COM
ing to this ''ruined country"

HThe Syracuse Courier, in speak
ing of the arrest of Sam. Medary of
the Crisis, thus lets itself out:
"Governor Samuel Medary, now
under arrest, is one of the magnifi-
cent relics of that era of statesmen
to whom is due the late grandeur of
this Republic. He has ever led a
life so pure, that with oppportuDi-
ties which have enriched others, and
which no loyal man could have
without becoming immensely rich,
he remains poor and mainly depend
ent upon the public favor, with
which the Crisis has been everywhere
received for his living. He has
reached, or nearly reached, the age
of eighty years; and the words of
the living Washington and his COM
peers live and echo in his heart
His lite has been worthy of the
greatest and best days of the Repub-
lic."
We rather think that will surprise
the old s'Wheel Horse" himself when
he reads it, especially the ''purity'
joke. If the ''words of the living
Washington" live in his heart all we
have to say is, that hearts must have
been scarce when they took up their
abode in such questionable quarters.

zens contributed money to pay the

hausted-the news Of course was
not forthcoming. The boys in the
Journal Office concluded to pay for

form of an extra daily.
1t is matter with which the edi-
tor has nothing whatever to do, and
thus far the "boys" have failed to re

no move ofspecial importance, but
indications of his doing so are

~Let those who complain of
the course of Mr.. Lincoln think how
Andrew Jackson would have manag
ed such q war as that in which we
are engaged. The "aggressions,"
''arbitrary arrests" emancipation
proclamation" and earning of the
negroes" so bitterly bewailed by the
sympathizers with treason, would
look like child's play in contrast with
the terrible war police of the iron
man of the last generation. Who
can forget his bold and summary
conduct in the Indian war and dur
ing the siege of New Orleans? His
disObedience of the writ of Judge
Hall, and his arming of the negroes
of Louisiana, in 1914. were slight in
dieations of what he would do in Mr..
Lincoln's position. Let US also re-
member that General Jackson was a
constant subject of the hate and fear
of the slave aristocra9y. Though an
Unborn and ingrained gentleman, he
came from the common people. and
always fought against the purse-p proud
and arrogant He regarded Calhoun
and his school as traitors from the
first Nearly all his disciples and
friends, Democrats like Van Buren,,
Silas Wright, Benton, Henry Horn,
Leggett, ect., ended their lives con-
seientious Abolitionists. because they
like jackson. saw that Calhoun trea-
son was the natural offspring of
slavery. The rebellion in the South
is in the hands Of the odd anti Jack
son men. The only surviving mem
ber of the hero's family, Andrew
jackson Donelson, is certainly not
rebel; while Andrew Johnson, of Ten
nessee. and Andrew Jackson Hamil-
ton, of Texas, and thousands of
others, long identified with "Old
Hielrory,' are acting " 18th the radical
friends of the Union. Facts like
these must not be forgotten in this
hour of war revolution.

~ The Cleveland Convention
nominated for President, John C.
Fremont, for Vice President, John
Cochrane.
Fremont based his acceptance on
the contingency th 1T Abra'm Lincoln
received the nomination at the Bal
timore Convention. Mr.. Lincoln
was nominated BY reclamation and
therefore Gen. Fremont may be said
to be fairly on the track. The tone
of his letter shows him animated by
a spirit of personal hostility to Pres.
Lincoln, and that he would stop at
nothing to bring about his defeat.
The cause Of his country, of the Ma
tion's salvstion, of the preservation
of this republic. is placed in the
scales, and cutwelghed by personal
malice against man who never will
lingly did him any wrong.
Gen. Fremont like many others
since this war began, vastly overes-
timated his sbiliti, and Importance
1t was found necessary to interfere
with his plans, and check his ardor
on some points, which he considered
as personally insulting, and in an
evil hour he allows his passions to
warp his better judgement, consents
to be used as the tool Of q faction,
not with any hope of election bat
of so dividing the Union party, that
Lincoln may be defeated and the
copperheads obtain power.
We have ever been an ardent sup
porter of Gen. Fremont Voted for
him in 1856, and to the utmost OF
our ability, defended him from the
base slanders heaped upon him by
the very party that for their own pur-
poses are now urging him to remain
upon the track, and thereby weaken
the Union Party. But his acceptance
OF this nomination, based as it is upon
motives of personal revenge, and his
thus placing himself in direct an
tagonism to the Administration,
leaves us no room to doubt as to ON
course. We shall say nothing de.
tracing from his many fine qualities
We prefer passing him over to ths
tender mercies of the Copperheads
If he can survive their commenda
tions at this crisis, then indeed vii
he be most fortunate. His wors
j, enemy could have prayed for NJ
worse fate to befall him.

TThe event that has given most !
delight to the New York World, otter
the attempt to show that Major Gen.
eral Buffers brother had made two
millions of dollars ont of the Govern
ment, and had died leaving million
to the General, is undoubtedly the
Cleveland Convention and the nomin-
alton of John c. Fremont for Presi-
dent and John Cochrane for Vice
President. 1t is amusing, the amount
of large and small type, of editorial
and correspondence, devoted to this
event by the World in its various
departments, mechanical, reportorial,
and otherwise. Undoubtedly fine
feature has been made of it. Nothing
could be more ornate or elaborate
Without attempting to divine the
motives ofmen however, or question
/ ing the patriotism of the gentlemen
who had charge of the Cleveland
Convention, we might ask them and
their candidates whether there is not
subtle irony in this somewhat
ostentatious parade of their proceed
ings by the Opposition or Copper
head papers? The World is making a
huge effort to surpass all the New
York dailies 1t has had any num-
Der of sensations lately. 1t expand
ed and expended immensely on the
fair. 1t was loud on Miss Annie
Dickinson 1t was filed with a new
revelation on the Davenport Brothers
But Its two last cards, played, too
with great skill and ability, are the
Clevland Convention and the celebra
ted spy, Miss Major Pauline Cush
man. And, in honest prose, let i
be said. the World deserves som
: credit for these exercises. They ar
undoubtedly costly. All such expert
ments are, but they show newspape
talent and enterprise; and, whel
directed to educate instead of to foo
the people, the qualities thus enlist
l ed are sure to pay. General Ere
, mont cannot be insensible of this
His friends cannot certainly b
regardless of it. 1t does not follow
G mark you, because the World is pre-
serving the General and his friend

with the Davenport Brothers and tn
last discovery of Barnam, therefor
these same friends do not see it,
I for they do. They see it all roun'
