Our Conventions.

waiting with great eagerness the results Of
the Democratic Convention which we're
held on Saturday last; they not only
watched the contest among the friends in
the convention Of the candidates for the
various Offices, but hailed with delight
every indication of Gisaffection, every feel

every expression OF displeasure on the part
of those who failed TO get their favor:te

termed The disaffected ones, and labored

wiles- one who would consent to desert
his party and sell his principles for the
promise Of little abolition sap-for a
place upon the abolition ticket.

or to pick off single man from this
branch of the great MCCLELLAN army
which is organized ,hroughou. the land,
for the salvation of the Union and Con
stitution. We can tell these abolition
politicians that their days are nun bered-
that the people are no longer to be hum
bugged, fooled or cheated by their pre-
tenlons or their state tricks, and The
sooner they give over the making OF play
ing them the better foE themselves. 1t is
said that revolutions never 90 backwards,
and we believe the great revolution which
has been and is still going on in the pub

strength and power, cannot be STAYED in
It's onward course until the present admin

and GEO. b. MCCLELLAN occupies the
presidential chair.
The people have resolved that there
shall be change of administration, and
that charge is soon to come, and to come
nickly-because in such change depends
the hopes Of the people, the fate of our
once great and glorious nation, because
with that change the people will know
that the union of all the states, and of all
the people is to be restored, and war end,

mill,arily and financially a failure, and
that Its continuance Is a cause of regret
for the country" And this is the verde,

We again tell these abolition politicians
OF our county, that they can find no man
whose name was presented at the Demo

or any one who urged such nomination,
who will vote the abolition ticket, because
