Our Ticket.

We hoist to our mast head the names
of Lincoln and Johnston, which have
been put in nomination by the Baltimore
Convention OF Mr. Lincoln, nothing
commendatory need be sail His nomi-
nation was made by the people, and the
Convention had simply to ratify their ac-
ton. His election by the voice of every
loyal State in the Union is morally GER
tain.
The nomination Of Andrew Johnston,
of Tennessee, is also happy one-a life
long Democrat, he still refused to follow
his party into rebellion-preferring to
stand alone beneath the folds of the old
flag. No better nomination could have
been made.
Major Thompson, our nominee for Con-
gress, is we'll known to all our readers;
has served with distinction in the State
Legislature-his nomination by the Dis
trict Conference, will be received as a
mark of confidence in him, and respect
for the just claims of our county; but

Presidential Nomination.

In the first issue of our paper, we hoist
ed the name of Abraham Lincoln, for
reelection On several occasions since
then, we insisted that a National Conven-
tion was not necessary-that the people
were for him, and that they would elect
him, whether the politicians were for him
or not The Baltimore Convention met
however, but only to give form to the
popular will already well understood. 1t
only remains now for the people to ratify
their own action at the November elec-
ton, which they iciW do as sure as that
day comes round.

BGg" On the first page of our paper to-
day, will be found a synopsis of the great
speech Of our able member of congress-
Hon. Thomas Williams, We would fain
have given this speech entire !; but owing
to its great length as also to the crowded
state of our columns with war news, we
have been, reluctantly compelled to forego
the pleasure of laying it entire before our
readers. A gentleman like Mr.. Williams
whose reputation as scholar, an orator
and statesman, dates back beyond a
quarter of century, cannot be injure y
by Withholding one of his many produc-
tions from the public, or by having it
abridged, it is the people who are bene-
fitted by its publication. But as it has
been published in pamphlet form, we
trust it will get wide circulation, We
advise all who can, to procure a copy
read it and hand it to your neighbor-it
has been favorably noticed by the press
generally-for our self, we believe it to
be the greatest speech we have read for
long time. A friend in Washington
wrote us that its delivery was listened to
with profound interest, and that at its
conclusion the members gathered around
him to extend their gratulations, long
may he live to serve his country.
