A REMINDER. .

The Courier, of last week, publish.
es extracts from an article published
in the Jeffersonian, on the Sherman
and johnson treaty. We acknowl-
edge the words. They were written
on the receipt Of the first news of the
treaty; before Gen. Sherman's eZ-
plantations reached the North. The
mex. week when we had received the
particulars we said that the affair
wore q different aspect, and gave
Gen. Sherman full credit for honesty
in the matter. This, however, IL
does not suit the Courier 70 publish,
and we venture it never will publish
lit.
While we are on the subject oil
Gen. Sherman, we will ask if the
Courier has always been supporter
of his Did it not write columns 10
show that he wac greater beast than
Butler Did it rot donounce his re-
moval Of tho factory girls from At
llanta az barbarous and inhuman p
Did it not denounco the burning ol
Atlanta as unnecessary and fendisil
atrocityf Did it not characterize
! his march from Atlanta to Savannah
az n wasteful and unnecessarily de-
structive raid Did it not ridicula
the capture of Savannah as an unim.
portant achicvment that was barren
OF results r Did it not treat the cap
ture of Charleston in the came man.
ner2 In short, has it not persistent
i1y denounced him as we'll as every
other successful Union General as
bfutes and military failuresY
] Let the Courier cny no to these
queries il it dare. The difference be.
twoon ns and tho Courier 10 wo el
ways supported General Sherman un
til we believed he had committed an
error which would result in evil to
the government the Courier de-
lnounced him regularly and persist
emily until it was misled into be-
lieving that he was Copperhcad,
and = rebel at heart. That. the diff
| ference.

The great Coppcrhead snake has
been trying to wrap Gen. Sherman in
IFS slimy folds. Unfortunate Cop
pcrhead! Gen Sherman will hearti-
ly support Gen, Cox for Governor

Sherman, states, and we presume he
knows. We know of but one Gener,

The following choice extracts we
make from an editorial in the Cop
perhead organ of Highland county.
When such sentiments are promulga-
ted by democratic" editors, is It any
wonder that the Copperhead party is
charged with sympathizing with the
sworn enemies of the Government ?
They rather dash the brilliancy of the
Courier, which declared epphatically
a couple Of weeks since, that JEFF.
Davis was not captured in petticoats;
"the whole story was gotten up to
cast ridicule upon one already fallen
so low as to be unable to defend him
SELF" Here are the extracts:
"There arc fools who rejoiced over
his capture--yile rabble cried for his
blood"
4
"If Mr., johnson and his party wisl,
to damn this country with eternal in
fanny, let them execute Jefferson Da-
Wis.
Gas to the charge OF treason, it is
sufficient answer that A1r. Davis is O
prisoner of war, and is entitled TO be
treated as such. When captured he
was President of the Confederate
States, and has never resigned that
office. He is no more guilty of trea-
son than the men who voted to elect
him to the high and responsible posi-
ton, which he occupied with 80 much
ability and dignity for tour years il
there be guilt of treason attached tc
him, then the whole Southern people
Ought to be hung; or, if it be hu
namely decided to spare the lives o'
the rank and file, and punish all the
leaders, then, in justice, all of them
must hang, and we protest against
any favoritism. Rut we say to Pres
ident Johnson, that you have no right
to hang any of them on the charge oi
treason. JEFF. Davis is q prisoner ot
war, and you should not, and will not
execute him on any pretencc whatev-
err
Reader how do you relish these
democratic" sentiments!

THE CONspIRATORs.

The Chicago Republican of the Eth
inst, has an able article on the neces.
lsity OF Furnishing the leading actors
in the late terrible rebellion, the spir
it OF which may be gathered from thc
following extract:
The trial and conviction of Davis
and Of Lee, are demanded not SO
much for the sake Of subjecting them
personally to the penalties of treason,
as from q wish to establish q precc-
dent now, that will stand for all time
rs warning to others, and lesson
for posterity. If Davis and Lee he
not tried and convicted, (and when
we say convicted, we assume that
there is evidence enough to establish
legally their guilt, then there will
never be trial or conviction for trca
son in the United States. The refusa
to prosecute to conviction these prin
cipal agents in the rebellion, will bC
to inform all future aspirants fol
bloody renown, that n failure to de
stroy the United States by insurrcc
ton and war, will be regarded ss tax
ing tie actors in the bloody drams
out Of the rank Of crime, and eleva
ting them 10 the dignity Of patriotic
but unsuccessful champions of libcr,
W
There is sound reasoning in this
view Of the question, and it is the po
sition, we believe, of every loyal mar
in the country. Treason must b,
made to be hated thing, and to eff
feet this, treason must be punished
regardless ofthe standing of the Grim
inals. II it DO great crime to tax,
the life of single individual, surel,
those who have been guilty in de
stroying the lives Of over million
need prompt and severe treatment
If this is not done, precedent will b,
a direct invitation to future traitor
to grasp at the historic fame of trea
son, and, if defeated, then take III
oath ! the most contemplate of al
farces.

a Retrospective Review.

The correspondent of the Cleveland
Leader gives the following retrospect
of the Convention:
I believe l have not before alluded
to the distinguished consideration
that was manifested by the home del
egation for the wishes and claims of
the army representatives, which was
a marked feature OF the Convention.
The aggregate vote of the army in
the Convention was l43, and the del
Iegates were of all ranks from private
to Brigadier General. The favorable
disposition of the home delegates is
shown in the fact that the army was
given the Presidency of the Conven-
tion and allowed two of the nominees,
for whom they had signitied an espec.
ial concern, in addition to that of
Governor, almost without a struggle
on either This feeling of acquies-
.cence IN the particularly expressed
will of the army was characteristic
Of the Convention shown whenever
occasion offered, and | note it as in
Idicating more strongly than anything
else the respect paid to the opinions
and wishes of these men whose priv
ilege it was to be identified with the
great war for the Union. And am
also pleased to note that this course
OF the home delegates appeared to be
fully appreciated by the army, which
was ever disposed to reciprocate the
feeling, and the happy result was as
l have already stated, an unusually
harmonious convention for probably
the largest ever assembled in this
State

man and brought the grand issue of
the abolition of slavery" In reply
to these assertions, the Duke of Ar
gyll points out that the ''platform"
on which Mr.. Lincoln was elected is
written document, and that of the
seventeen paragraphs not less than
one-third were devoted to direct and
emphatic declarations of the anti
slavery principle. The Duke contin
ues:
"1t is true, Of course, that the abo.
lition of slavery within the slave
states was not contemplated and
this for the very sufficient reason that
the constitutional powers of the Pres
ident and Congress did not make
even the discussion of such meas
ure competent. But on every one
question connected with slavery on
which the President and Congress
could act, Mr. Lincoln was pledged by
his platform to measures adverse to
the interests of slavery"
The Duke then recapitulates all the
provisions of the Chicago platform
showing their respective bearings
and after noticing the vain efforts OF
the peace conference of 1861, con.
cludes rs follows:
"The proceedings Of that commit
tee have been published. Long and
hard did they pull, and writhe, and
struggle; but not a word did they
Ispeak--not n stroke of the oar did
they give--not a caution did they
shout into each others ear-whicl
had not exclusive reference to thu
rock of slavery, and on that rock they
split. IT is. indeed. by Gods mercy
vislbly extended to the United States
that now the rapids have been passed
the vessel OF that great State has re
appeared, not ''bottom up n wrecl
upon the waters, but sound and whole
, with the black reefs of slavery al
ready far down in the heroism Of tht
past, to which, in the history Of ma
tions, there is no return. So far
agree with my noble friend but ther,
is no special honor paid to God in re
fusing to recognize that agency whicl
He honors most-the- human hear
and will.

that the origin of the war had been

President Johnson on Negro Suffrage.
The Washington special of the Gin
cinnati Commercial says:
The most pointed views of Presi-
dent Johnson on negro suffrage, have
just been made to the delegation of
Qual<ers, who called on him with pc
titlons asking that the influence and
power of the Government may be so
welded as to secure to all persons,
without distinction, equality in the
right of franchise. In response,
President johnson said he would not
make speech, but would talk to tn m
IN the spirit OF friendship and frater-
nal regard. He wished to talk to
them as though they were all mem
bers of the same family. lie told
them of the difficulties in the way OF
comforting the right of suffrage, rs
they desired. and gave them many
instances Of his experience among the
slaves of the South, whose habits and
feelings he protessed thoroughly to
understand. But one great act might
be said to have been fully accomplish
ed by the war, after the restoration
of the Union, and that was the COM
Iplete abolition of slavery. There
we're many other things that would
tcuuiIe tiu,o ~ accomplish, ami
among these might be the question OF
suffrage.
The president referred to his own
experience in the rebellion, and to
the fact that while he had suffered
personally and pecuniarily, and in
other ways, he had no complaints to
make but would do his best to bring
peace and order to the country.

THE UNION STATE CONVENTION.

THE gNlON SthIE CONNENItON.
We published las. week the reso-
lutions adopted by the State Con.
veEtion. We endorse them fully, be-
lieving that they represent the senti-
ment of the Union party Of the State.
The ticket IS the best that has been
presented to the voters Of the State
for twenty years-it Is unexception-
able. The candidates were selected,
not because Of services to party, but
because Of their fitness for the posi-.
6ons assigned them. They are not
political hacks, or crib feeders, but
men of the people and called by tho
people.
Major General Jacob d. Cox, the
candidate for Governor, has indus
triously worked his way to eminence
and honorable distinction. In 1850
he was q member OF the Ohio Senate,
and upon the breaking out of the re-
bellion he entered upon the work OF
raising, organizing and dIsciplining
or the field the volunteers then flock.
ing to the defense OF their country's
life and honor. The fame Of his
deeds as soldier is n part OF our
Dstional history,
Andrew G. McBurney, of Warren
county, the nominee for the office of
Lieutenant Governor, is eminently
fitted for the duties OF the office. He
was an earnest worker in the old Dem
nnratio party, until the brooking ont
OF the rebellion, when be became a
jealous and active member of the
Union party Of Ohio, and has served
four years in the Ohio Senate, where
he holds high rank as judicious and
useful member.
Sidney S. Warner, the nominee for
the important Office OF Treasurer of
State, comes with Democratic ante
cedents. He is a prudent and well
informed business man, is a prom
inent farmer of Lorain county, and
has served two terms IN the Ohio
House Of Representatives with crod-
it and honor. Every confidence is
reposed in him.
William II. West. the candidate for
Attorney General, holds high rank
in the legal profession. lie has
served two terms as Representative
and one as State Senator, and has
distinguished himself as legislator
Of wisdom and ability.
The candidate for tho important
Office Of School Commissioner, Cap
tain John A. Norris, was a member
of the 9Sth Regiment, is a young
man OF good character, fine abilities,
and has proved himself n gallant SOL
dier. He lost limb at the battle oi
Pcacll Tree Creek.
Cnptein Rodney Foos, the nominee
for Clerk Of tho Supreme Court is q
man ofexcellent character and high
Intelligence. He was Adjutant of the
10th Regiment until wounded at Dal-
