The Herald informs us that George, Duke of
Chickahominy will not take the Presidency;
but wants to die for his country. Poor little
fellowl he has expressed this wish so frequently
and often in such plaintive terms, that we can
almost bring ourselves to wish that he may have
his way. 1t is true that he had several fine
chances to die for his country in the Peninsula,
but he did not venture into battle out Ofa noble
consideration, we suppose, for the glory of such
men as Kearney, Hooker Heintzelman, and Ste
vens Nay, he was so delicate even of these
honors, that he unselfshly withdrew far from
every fight; and now he lives, alas, unhurt, to
constantly reproach Fortue with his cruel des-
tiny Poor little Macl it is really great shame
he cannot once more take and 60 and die for
his country. We suggest by the by, if the
hardships of his case continue, he take revenge
of fate by either drowning himself, or by dying
in the attempt Wilkes Spirit cfthe Times.

YnTING FOR GENERALs.

The New York Times in its notice of the Fair
in New York on Wednesday, says:
The swords for the army and navy officers
who shall receive the greatest number of votes
at the close of the fair, are constantly surround
ed admiring crowds, great numbers Ofwhom de-
posit their dollar and their vote for their ia
vorite. At the close of the fair for the evening,
Gen. Mcclellan had received 49, votes, and Gen.
Grant 435. The vote for the navy sword was
pretty evenly balanced between Admirals Far
ragut and Dupont and Commodore Rowan.
From the account given in the New York
World it appears that dollars test the question,
not the number of votes, for any one can step up
and laying down as many dollars as he sees fit
put down name of somebody for each dollar
and each dollar counts vote. The World
gives the Wednesday evening scene thus:
The rush to the department was immense,
and the books were more amply patronized than
during the afternoon. The gentleman who su-
perintended the books was besieged with inqui-
ries about the result He kept but mental
record; but his reply was that the contest was
nearly even.
A Young man here handee twenty five dol
lars to the officials and calmly recorded that
number of votes for Gen. Mcclellan.
The circumstance soon became gossip, and elic-
tied retaliation in kind; for another gentleman
hearing of it, gave the same amount and like
number of votes for Gen. Grant.
Now the sword vote was at its height, and
the excitement was increased by gentleman
giving fifty votes for Little Mack, and his SUBJ
scription of fifty dollars, which put his favorte
in a majority This closes the result up to
o'clock last night Six hundred and eighty -si1
votes had been cast last night.

THE NO,IINAT1NG CONyENTION.

An effort is being made to induce the Nation
al Union Committee to postpone the meeting OF
the convention which is to nominate candidates
for President and Vice President. We can i'm
agine no good as likely to result from postpone
ment, while the objections are obvious. The
Union party is overwhelmingly large, so that a
nomination will be equivalent to an election,
unless unforeseen disasters in the field of our
arms should intervene, by which the Copper
heads would undoubtedly be encouraged. To
put off the convention is to prolong the internal
struggle of the friends of the Union to create or
to widen the breaches, and to give aid and COM
fort to the Opposition. On the other hand, to
hold the convention at the appointed time will
be to silence the spirit of strife within the par
ty, to harmonic all the true friends of Union,
and to secure to the nominees a pleasant, quiet
walk around the course without in the least di-
verting public attention from the great duty OF
suppressing the rebellion.
In former times it was the custom to put the
candidates in nomination as early as February
and General Harrison was nominated in Novem-
Der, almost twelve months before the election
1t is true, that the greater facilities for travelling
and of transmitting the news at the present day
have dispensed with the necessity of such pro.
tracted political campaigns, but we remember
no instance of Presidential nomination made
at later day than June 7th, except that of FIRE.
mont, in 1856, which took place about the mid
die of that month
1t seems to be thought Ahat postponement
of the convention would be favorable to other
candidates than Mr.. Lincoln, but we are unable
to see upon what grounds, since every day but
furnishes evidence of his popularity.
1t was only last week that he received the nom-
ination of the radical State of Wisconsin, which
had been preceded by that of Iowa, Indiana
Ohio and Kansas. The idea of asking post
ponement of the convention therefore, is the
hope that something will turn up to the PREF
udice of the Presidents prospects, seems not to
be particularly brilliant Wash CbrOn.

Conuecticut and the PreuIdent.

The New York Times, in an article on the
Connecticut Victory, has the following Just ref
erence to its connection with the reelection of
Mr.. Lincoln:
The bearing of the election on the Presiden-
tial nomination will not escape public attention.
The Union Convention, which put in nominal
ton the ticket which has Just been elected, also
declared the preference of the Union party for
Mr.. Lincoln as the next Union candidate for the
Presidency. The vote just given shows that in
this, as in other matters it correctly represented
the sentiment of the great mass of the State
In our Judgment the same result will attend ev-
cry similar demonstration of public opinion in
the North. Lincoln has won, to an ex-
tent never before equaled except in the case of
Washington, the full and entire confidence of
the people in the integrity and patriotism which
he brings TO the discharge of his high trusts
and, in a time of war, when great and unusual
powers are of necessity intrusted to the hands
of the Executive, this is a consideration that far
out-weighs all others. No man, whatever his
abilities, who was generally suspected of being
swayed by personal ambition, and of seeking
his own ends rather than the public good, could
possibly have received from Congress and the
people such transcendaDt grants of power as
have been bestowed upon President Lincoln
The public faith in his honesty has been the
strength of his Administration, and it will be
quite certain to command the continuance in his
hands of the power he has never abused, but
has always used for the public good.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

As the Monroe Doctrine is the only thing up
on which our members of Congress seem agreed
and as the Mexican question may involve US in
a war in defence of this doctrine, we put on rec
ord its origin:
EXTRACT FROM PRESIDENT MoNRoE's ANNUAL
MESSAGE Dec. 9, 1923.
The political system of the allied powers is
essentially different in this respect from that o
America. This difference proceeds from that
which exists in their respective Governments.
And to the defence of our own, which has been
achieved with so much loss of blood, and treas
ure, and matured by the wisdom of our most
enlightened citizens, and under which we have
enjoyed unexampled felicity, this whole nation
is devoted. We owe it, therefore, to candor and
the amicable relations existing between the Uni
ted States and those powers, to declare that we
should consider any attempt on their part to ex-
tend their system to any portion OF this hemis-
phere, as dangerous to our peace and safety
With the existing colonies ordependencies amy
European Power, we have not interfered, and
shall not interfere. But with the Governments
who have declared their independence and main
taine it, and on just principles, acknowledged
we could not view any interposition for the pur-
pose of ofoppressing them, or controlling in any
other manner their destiny, by any European
Power in any other light than as the manifest
atiOns of an unfriendly disposition towards the
United States.

SUSPICIOUS MOVEMENTS OF SECESSION


The Detroit Tribune of Wednesday, states that
the movements of the secession refugees in Can
ada are again such as TO demand the immediate
attention of the u. S. authorities. The con-
stantly increasing number of deserters from our
own army, escaped rebel prisoners and despe-
radoes, outlawed by their crimes, who are daily
passing into Canada, give any plot they may
set on foot an undeniably dangerous character.
The Tribune further states that the chief focus
of the new plot is Windsor, opposite Detroitand
its agents are materially assisted by associates
in that city Its general outlines are as follows
The number of secession refugees, from the
North and South, now in Canada, is several
thousand who, when consolidated and organic
ed would constitute very effective force, were
it not that the scarcity of arms in Canada forms
a serious obstacle to their proper equipping.-
The expectation of arms from the United States
is prohibited by the existing military regula-
tions, and accordingly wholesale system of
smuggling is carried on, by which small arms
are carried into Canada. The common method
of avoiding the vigilance of the officers on both
sides of the river, is by concealing large num-
Der of arms in a herring box with several layers

herring box freighted with fish and weapons,

volvers are bought for this purpose of returned
soldiers, and eventually find their way into the
hands of those, who were and are the deadliest
enemies of their original owners. An OCCASION
al musket, or gun is also conveyed across by
some one, claiming merely to be on briefhunt-
ing trip for pleasure. The repairing and reht-
ting of these firearms is done at little smlthy
near the Hirons House. These weapons are
then distributed among trusty men, and they go
off in SQUADS TO the East-few at time, so as
not to attract attention. By various routes and
means they cross over into the United States,
generally choosing some spot on the Eastern
frontiers where less vigilant watch is kept than

Southern Illinois and Indiana, where associa-
tions are now and have been forming to co-ope-
rate with them.
