He had Him that Time.

The other day little Sunset Cox felt the
spirit move him to say over again his little
speech about anna gamation. Notwith-
standing the Democratic party in the South
have manufactured half million mulattos,
Cox persists in charging that amalgamation
as leading tenet among the Republicans
But little Cox got picked up in his ANAL
gamation recitatons in Congress the other
day, which is thus described by an eye wit
ness: ....-r
Little Mr.. Samuel Cox felt called upon
to day to express his views on the Naval
Appropriation bill, by making speech ou
amalgamation, which, lie said, was the
leading dogma of the Administration party.
He was especially severe upon the class
of men WHO were constantly Gaining the
negro man and brother.
While he was charging amalgamation on
the Administration side, Mr.. Washburne
sought to inturrupt him, but tlr Cox very
fatty refused to yield. The moment be sat
down NJ, Washburne got the floor, armed
with small volume, sometimes seen in
political campaigns in the Columbu district,
known as A Buckeye Abroad He said
he was delighted to hear Mr.. Cox's speech
again .s... -a.s-:-s.e.
He had heard it many times here, and
was always pleased with it, but from the
late Ohio election he feared he would never
have an opportunity to hear it again. ln.

was not quite willing to 60 its length on
the amalg nation and negro brotherhood
as the gentleman had intimated, yet he was
very glad to be able to produce another

THE RIGHT MUST WIN.
o, it is hard to work for God,
To rise and take his part
Upon this battlefield of earth, ...........
And not sometimes lose heart.
He hides himself so wondrously,
As though there was no God;
He Is least seen when all the powers
OF earth are most abroad
Or he deserts US in the hour
The fight is all but lost @ t
And seems to leave us to ourselves
just when we need him most.
1t is not so, but so it looks,
And We lose courage then;
And doubts will come, if God hath kept
His promises to men.
Soldier of God, o, lose not heart,
But learn what God ie like,
And in the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike.
For right is might. since God is Cod
And rghtth day must win;
To doubt would be dIsloyalty-
To falter would be sin.

OUR CANDIDATES.

By the Lesvenvorth dailies Of the 10th
inst, We have the complete report of the
action Of the Baltimore Convention
Abraham Lincoln is re-nominatsd for Pres
ident, and Gov. Andy johnson for the
Vice Presidency. The nominations will be
hailed With joy all over the country. There
is nothing that would tend to strengthen
and revive the rebellion now 90 much IS
the defeat and repudiation Of Abraham
Lincoln. The Fremont faction and the
peace democracy are working hand in hand
to accomplish the same result; and the sue
cess of either will neutralize and destroy
all that has been accomplished towards sup
pressing the rebellion. The large majority
Of the Republicans Of Morris county are
unconditionally for Lincoln. A few, how.
ever, with the editor of the Press at their
head, can find no words of sympathy and
support for the Administration, but are
constantly fault finding and maguifying its
mistakes and errors.
Examine the Council Grove Press of the
last nine months, and see if the tendency
Of its editorials and extracts do not tend to
disparage and weaken the Government in
the eyes of the people.
Where this faction in Morris county will
land is hard to tell. judging from the com.
plexion of the central committee got up at
the bogus mass convention at the school
house. We should as soon expect them to
crawl upon the Mcclellan platform as any
other. At all events, the editor of the
Press seems to be bidding high for Demo
cratic votes.
