Wherever they have gone victory has gone
with them; and thus will it be until the
last armed rebel shall bow TO the soye-
reignty Of the Federal authority. No Gov.
eminent with such defenders can ever fall.
All honor to the dauntless heroes Of thu
Union. N.

The expressions Of the crowd, the feel.
ings Of the mass Of outsiders, 8 exhibited
BY their responses to noisy brawlerson thu
stump and profane gabblers il bar-rooms
are worth something = an index Of the late
Snake Convention at Chicago. Let some
Of them BE- recalled. Vallandigham wal

was cheered with enthusiasm. In the Wig
wan he could hardly stir without exciting
cheer and calls that often disturbed thu
Convention. Let speaker mention his
name ana the welkin would ring with ap.
applause. People stood on tiptoes, with
eyes wide open and mouth agspe to gel
sight Of the ''patriot martyr" Had thu
outside crowd been permitted to choose .
candidate, it would have voted ten to one
for Val. Al Al intelligent delegate ex.
pressed 1.-THE pit is for VAL" A re-
mark like this could be heard on all sides
"val. is the representative man; we be-
lieve in his views; but it won't do to trus,
our strength on that bridge. He is the
best man we have, and deserves the most
Of the party; but If we nominate him We
will be licked like damnation." Again:
Select Mac, do you think he would keep
Seward and Stanton in his cabinete No,
sir he would have Val. for Secretary OF
State, and Seymour for Secretary Of War;
Would Mt that be beautiful combination!
Said another,-sLet US beat Old Abe It all
hazards. If we must have nigger in the
Presidential chair, let US have Fred Doug

low, dirty fool and BLACKBOARD" If you
could have heard this expression, the filthy
oaths that accompanied it, and the cheers
and echoes that followed it, you would have
blushed for your sex.
An old man, preacher, very gray as to
his hair, very tOothless as to his mouth,
and stripped to the shirt, with the sleeves
rolled to the elbows, was speaking to .
large and appreciative audience outside the
Wigwam. He had come $50 miles to coun-
Gil peace If we had to tight for It. How he
swore in his speech, and how the crowd
enjoyed his miserable twaddle! He said,
and the malignity Of his .countenance
viii not seen be forgotten, ''.,I have eight
chiidren-fve sons and three daughters.
My sons are all grown men, and thank
and praise my God that not drop Of their
blood has ever been spilled in this hell
fired, damned, unholy, abolition, uncon-
sti,utional, niggerwar, and I'll be damned
II mean conference.-the there ever shall

sentiment. #a A
An Indiana preacher-didnt come to
make a speech-but he did. He was in fa-
vor OF immediate, unconditional peace.
He would never send another mouthful to
feed an army in this niggerwar. He want
ed the fine gentlemen to take of their
starched collars, and plant field to feed
the widows and fatherless OF this unholy
strife. He would sting all the drones to
death and put them out Of the hive, for It
was that kind that was fattening on the
blood and tears OF our Southern brethren,
and much more Of that kind. s''.s
A school-boy orator commended peace,
union and harmony in the Democratic
ranks they alone could save the country,
and Mac, was the only man to save it.
While in the midst OF his admiration Of
Mac, big-throated brawler insisted on
asking Will you support the nominee ?"
Heidi not answer. but went on, until the
brawler absolutely damned him into !
commi,tal and then cursed him OF the
stand. fss 49, tEa 9ks
These are some things that could be
heard. There were some things that couldn't
be heard. First, single word in praise Of
or gratitude to our soldiers. Second, .
single word against treason and rebellion.
Third, single word Of sympathy for the
brave men-the SCARED and worn heroes
whose unbroken front has preserved their
homes and firesides from the b. stile tread
Of JET. Davis army.

I'd. That the soldiers vote was unconstitu-
tional. Sd. That they had fully intended
to resist the draft. How should the people
despise such quacks, charlatans and cow

You could see the Cross-the emblem OF
Chr;stianity-the dear old dagunder which
50 many loved ones have fallen, tand SO
many loved ones still stand, thank God y
the emblem of Union and nationality in
the circle Of vision that embraced Sey-
mour, Cox, vallandigham, Wood and
Wickliffe. The future will call it desc
Grafton land while the people will recall
the deeds and sayings of this Convention
with sorrow and regret, they will thank
God that not soldier present in Federal
blue disgraced his calling, or desecrated
his cause by wearing their badge of peace
