"DIscussINa THE REAL lssuE"-On the
outside Of the to-days Herald will be found
an interesting and instructive extract from a
Fourth Of July speech delivered at Newark
Ohio, by Gen. George w. Morgan. He is
we'll known to Ohioans as an accomplished
and brave soldier in the Mexican war, As
we'll as in the great struggle through which
the country has just passed. lie held i'm
portant commands in the military operations
10 Kentucky and Tennessee, and commanded
. division at the siege Of vcksburg. Unlike
many soldiers his position did not cause him
TO depart from bis faith in Democratic prin
eiples, or turn his back upon the grand old
party that had shaped the policy Of the Gov
ernment during the greater part OF it's exist,
sncs. As soldier and orator Gen. Morgan
enjoys a wide popularity.

OUR JUDICIAL NOMINEE.

The representatives Of the Democracy OF
California, met 10 Convention on Tuesday. in
Sacramento. and put in nomination as their
candidate for the Supreme Bench, Henry
Hare Hartley, Of the city Of Sacrament; a
gentleman distinguished for his industry and
ability 10 his profession, and one who. il
elected, will adorn the bench BY bis learning
and integrity. The choice reflects credi.
upon the good judgment. and conservatism
Of the Convention, in selecting a candidate
more With reference TO his accomplish ments
in the law than to bis activity or prominence
as a politician. Judge Hartley, although
known as a consistent Democrat, has not
taken an active part in political contests
The duties Of his profession, with an extern
sive practice, has demanded his application
and attention. and TO those duties he has ap
piled himself with such ability that he has
long ranked among the ablest lawyers of the
State, and his practice before the Supreme
Court has been and s perhaps equal TO that
Of any other member Of the professiou.-
Among lawyers, who are enabled to Judge
Of the fitness Of their professional brethren
for the high position, the nomination is CON
sdcred one eminently f, to be made.
The Convention having presented their
candidate for the suffrages Of the people, and
snuuciated platform that contains sen;i
men,s worthy OF universal Endorsement. it
remains for the voters to signify their ap
proval a: the ballot box in October. T.
Democrats, therefore, We say, be up and do
ing; the work to be done requires energy
and vigilance, and the united efforts of every
member Of the party. With a general
rally, and long and strong pull altogether,
we can elect our candidate, and start the ball
rolling for the victories that awai, the Dem
ocraey in the Congressional election Of next
year, and the Gubernatorial election two
years hence.
