The Nomination OF GOV. Johnson

which, Notwithstanding It's length, We
transfer 70 our columns entire. Itsays
that the thoroughly unsectional char
acter Of the Union party IS sirik-
ingly cvinced by the ardent sat
-isfaeiioR by which the nomina
tion IS everywhere hailed It says We
have yet 10 hear Of the slightest muir
mur. Neitherin the Middle nor in the
Eastern States is there any complaint
that both candidates on the ticket come
from the States vest OF the Alleghanies
All local Jealousy Is swallowed up in
The general sense Of the propriety Of
making special recognition Of the pc
.cuiiar desert Of Southern loyalty
This display Of feeling is of much
more significance than superficial
glsnOe you'd discover Every one who
has been in the habit Of reading the
extracts copied from the Southern
newspapers, has seen that the constant
effort Of tho leaders Of the rebellion
has been to Eli the popular heart with
rancor against the North, as a geograph-
ieal division. The term Yankee is
made the epitone Of everything that IS
odious, and Is applied Unfortunately
to al who dwell north Of MksoS and
DIxoxs line. When Northern parties
are spoken OF, a certain difference is
made between the epithets applied to
each. The supporters of the Admins
tration usually get the benefit Of the
adjectives that express pure hate; while
its opponents are more apt to be favor
ed with those that imply contempt
But whatever discrimination there may
be in the language used, there q one
constant objeot--and that is the suE-
charging the Southern heart with the
intensest aversion to the Northern PEG
pie AS the Carthagenian was taught
to regard the Roman, IS the French
man, half century ago, was taught 10
regard the Engiishmsn, az his natural
enemy, 50 the Southern man has every
influence brought to bear upon him to
make him inveterately hostile to the
Northern man. Thisis Just what might
be expected The supreme object of
the rebellion is separation from the
North; and, Of course, the more CON-
plete the moral separation; the easier
becomes the material @
On the other hand, The supreme oh
feet Of the Union party Is 70 prevent
separation and promote union. They
sreinot fighting the South at all, as q
geographical division. They 90 not
even allow the fact that the rebellion Is
exclusively seated IN the South, and
that the great majority Of the Southern
people hsye given their adherence TO
1t, 70 induce upon them anything ike
an anti Southern feeling II is the re-
bellion alone that they hate, A Sonth-
ern nsn who opposes the rebellion, who
stands firmly By the old Gag, instead Of
suffering any distrust and prejudice on
account OF his nativity in fact is admi-
red and spplaudsd al the mora because
Of bis nativity. ASDREw JOHNSON to day
has far stronger bold upon the great
popular heart Of the North than he
could have had Il he had been born in |
the North lie IS no more loyal than |
hundreds Of thousands of others But
the peculiar glory of hisloyality Is that
it is So1they7s loyalty; and It Is because |
the people are particularly DESTROYS to /
recognize and honor that loyalty that
bis nomination to the second Office is
the gift ofthe people affords such par
ticular satisfaction This manifestation
is conclusive evidence Of the genuine
national spirit Of the Union party. Il
is new proof that the party IS truly
entitled to the grand name il bears
yet fqrther pledge that the party, in its
work Of restoring the Union, will know
no such thing as sectional antipathy.
This nomination for the Vice Presi-
deney receives peculiar favor for an
other excellent reason. It not only
attests the true Union feeling, but il
vindicatesa the genuine free-labor prin-
eiple It completes the thoroughly
representative character Of the ticket
The New York Herjd, with q NAL
sdroitness as laughablo as the spirit
was contemplate, sneered atthe ticket
as made up of "railsplitting buffoon
and 3 boorish tailor, both from the
brekwoods, both growing up in unoouth
ignorance ending IFS period with an
allusion too obscene 10 be republished
mike manner the Richmond EraniAer
announces the ticket as "a renomins-
ton Tor President Of AREAHAN LNoorS,
the Illinois railSplitter, and for Vice
President, AEDREw JOHNSON, known in
the West as the Tennessee tailor, one
Of the meanest of that craft The
idea Of both the Copperhead and the
rebel Is the same--namaly that LN.

usl labor 1t Is sn idea inseparable
from friendship for Slavery. That
instisution. everybody knows, rests
solely On the assumption that manual
labor should be the lot Of 81 inferior
caste only. In every slave-holding
country, that manner Of work Is al
ways accounted a degradation.
Nothing e more natural than the up
holder Of Slavery should taunt the
Union party for naming candidates who
were st one period Of their lives plain
working men. Nothing is more ft than
that the Union party which has de-
clared tlaat Slavery must be exterrnina-
Ted from the land, should have selected
two !ust such candidates It is precise
