The Democratic Candidates for Congress.
The various District Conventions OF the
Democracy met yesterday, and selected can
didates for Congress for each of our five city
Representatives. AS several of these gentle
men are unknown to our readers,we will give
due credit to each, as the certainty of our
triumph need not reduce us to the partisan
necessity of expressing any views unjust to
our opponents. In contradiction to our morn
ing Democratic contemporary, we are ready
to give all due credit.
In the First District Mr.. Samuel j. Ran
dali, the present incumbent, was renominated.
Mr.. Randall is bitter partisan, a consistent
and violent Democrat. His whole career in
the House has been that of the most ultra
peace factionist. He voted even against the
amendment abolishing slavery, when other
PENNSYLVANIA Democrats carried the measure
by their votes. He is the weakest man
nominated in our city, but the immense
majority OF the First District renders his
election certain. If the Democracy OF the
First District were to select Lucifer, he
would probably defeat any Republican
Gabriel.
Mr.. John Hulme is the conservative can
didate in the Second Dis rict He is no party
man, having never mingled in politics, and
having achieved fortune by mercantile pur-
suits, now accepts a nomination with the
understanding that he is to make no pledges
He has been for many years Director Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and is well known
among our leading merchants He will
doubtless receive handsome complimentary
vote, but Mr.. O'Neill is sure Of an election.
Mr.. Charles Buckwalter is the standard,
bearer of the conservatives in the Third Dis
trict. Itis in that contest that the greater part
of the political interest centres. The contest
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-09-05

cannot fail TO be o spirited one, and the issue
is doubtful Mr.. Buckwalter is an able young
lawyer. and although candidate Of the
Democracy, during the war was inclined TO
conservative views. The lines are clearly
marked, however, and around Mr.. Myers will
rally all the radical in crest, while the con-
eorvatves will cluster around Mr.. Buck
walter. II Mr. Myers properly exerCs himself,
we have no doubt but THAT he will come out
victorious.
The opposition TO Judge Kellev, after fail
ing TO secuIe the support OF Alexander Henry,
ESQ. have taken up MIR, John Welsh The
Judge will find it easy 10 win in his old dis
trct he has won himself q national reputa-
ton, and all the disconteDted elements may
cluster around Mr Welsh, and will only
lessen his ignonipious defeat. OF the tri-
umph Of hir Kelley we have not the least
doubt
In the Fifth District, MIR. Henry p. Ross, a
young lawyer Of Bucks county, and gentle.
man who was badly beaten by MIR, ThaYer,
has been once more put into The field. Mr.
Caleb N. Taylor, the Union nominee, intends
to make gallant fight, and will, in October,
place Mr. Ross in the same position as he
occupied two years since. 1t is to be re-
gretted that Mr., NJ, Russell 1hayer will not
continue to Gil the seat he has so ably occu-
pied during the Thirty-ninth Congress
We have spoken frankly in regard to the
merits Of our opponents, because, firmly rely
ing on the justice OF our principles and the
high character OF our candidates, we do not
find it at all necessary to resort to the Iemo-
cratic policy OF denying all personal purity to
q man because be is political opponent.

The Republican party on the distinct issue OF
the Constitutional amendment, has carried
Vermont by an increase OF FIVE THOUSAND
to its majority The Senate OF that State is
unanimously Republican, while the House is
over fou1-fltths on the same side.
The city Of Wilmington, Del, has been car
ripd by the Republican party, by a largely in
creased majority.
Straws show in which direction the current
is fowl g, and the way which the political
tide is about to set is generally foretold by
the gain or loss in Vermont. What glorious
victories does the unprecedented gain Of five
thousand votes presage! From every quarter
comes cheering and more cheering intelli-
gence, and every despatch is most significant,
showing, as ii does, that the Union party is
not only not weaker, but is abs olutely
strengthened by the defections from its ranks,
Some Gases of Democratic Veracity.
WHEN partisan journals find that a demon
stration Of their opponents is beyond doubt
success, they either acknowledge it to be such,
and do their duty as neoUS papers, as did all
our Philadelphia journals in regard TO the
August Convention, or else they adopt the
motto that "a lie well sustained is as good as
the truth" and utter the most bold and fla
grant faIsehoods. The latter plan has been
adopted by the New York Times and World,
in regard to the Convention now sitting in
our city. The World yesterday stated the
procession Of reception was a "fizzle." As
that journal has No recognized reputation in
this city, and was compelled to rely on Copper
head correspondents Of a semi-Rebel city
paper, we may find cause to explain its utter
and entire faIsity. The procession was the
grandest political exhibition that has ever
taken place in Philadelphia, and far exceeded
all the highest anticipatiOns of its friends.
The Times to-day, in a despatch dated
Tuesday evening, announces that a heavy
storm was in progress, that vivid lightning
flashed, and all the usual buncombe which
reporters suppose to depict storm of rain.
We do not know whether we are laboring
under some blind infatuation, but certain we
are that last night was remarkably clear {;
that not a drop OF rain fell or a "vivid flash"
occurred; and that 10000 people, filling
Broad street with their cheers, were not sub
iected to "damper," or dispersed by anything
except the arrival OF midnight.
That the Democracy have to resort to false
hoods is the best proof that the Loyal Con-
Vention is a great success, and is correspond
ingly feared.

HAPr1NEss.-The idea has been trans
mitted from one generation to another! that
happiness is some large and beautiful pref
cious stone,a single gem 90 rare that all
search for it is vain, all efforts for it hope
less. 1t is not so Happiness is a mosaic
composed Of many smaller stones. Each
taken apart and viewed singly may be Of
little value, hut when all are grouped to-
gether and judiciously combined and set,
they form pleasing aud graceful whole
"a costly jewel. Trampla not underfoot
then, the little pleasures which gracious
Providence scatters in the daily path, and
which in the eager search after some great
and exciting joy. we are so apt to overlook.
Why should we always keep our eyes
fixed on the bright. distant horizon, while
there are so many lovely flowers in the
garden in which we are permitted to walkl
The very ardor Of our chase after happi-
meas may be the reason it eludes our grasp.
We pantingly strain after her when she
has been graciously brought nigh unto AZ.

THE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-Our
readers have had time to read and digest the
important document, given in full in last
weeks paper. 1t will assuredly meet
with cordial endorsement from loyal
men,. The Presidents policy, as set forth
in the Message, is no new one, but sub
stantially that Of carrying out the plan Of
action indicated by his lamented prede.
csssor, characterized by all his magnanim-
ity and mercy. That Andrew Johnson is
the man to heal the differences of the past,
and establish the new bond of Union 90
firmly that il. never may be broken, is
the conviction of all who reason from
cause to effect. His late Message but re-.
afirms this opinion. Providence has
decreed that the principles Of righteous
ness, justice and mercy should find de-
fender in our noble President, Andrew
johnson. .a'ss-f ,.- -.

II his qGery. Checkers" Is certainly an
" intellectual game" in its primitive
sense but If by use Of the term is meant
game requiring great intellect to COM
prehend its mysteries, we must dissent
from such belief. We have known men
of very small brains to make good checker
players in fact, some people have grown
10 completely infatuated over the game a.
to neglect business, friends. home, and ev-
crything for its enjoyment. The statistics
of Paris madhouse show that one fifth Of
it's inmates can trace their unfortunate
affection to this very source! While,
therefore, the game does not require much
intellect, or expand the intellect, it is
known in certain cases to contract the
powers Of the human mind. Our advice
to Anonyma is. If he must play. to" limit
himself" to one or two games week, and
those at hours not generally devoted to
other business.
