Nomination.

MARLBORO, o., August 10th, 1866.
EDITORS LEADER: The Union Congress.
sional Convention for the 18th District
met yesterday at Alliance, and was presi.
ded over by Hon. Robert Sherrard, OF
Jefferson County.
A resolution was offered by Col. Meyer,
of Stark, and adopted, strongly ~censuring
the recent action of Congress, increasing
the pay of members, and requiring each
candidate to pledge himself to use all
honorable efforts to secure its repeal. Also
in favor of a just and equitable bounty
bill instead of the apology for one, forced
through at the close of the session.
The following candidates were an
nounced
Hon. E. R. Eckley, of Carroll; General
J. w. Reilly and S. W. Clark, of Column
biana, General c. f. Henderson, Captain
j. +. Oliver and H. S. Martin, of Stark,
and W. R. Allison, of jefferson.
After an exciting contest o the 18th
ballot General Eckley was declared the
nominee; and was called upon fora speech,
after which the Convention adjourned
amid much enthusiasm. Hon. Joseph
Frease, of Stark county, is the candidate
for Common Pleas Judge in the District
composed of Stark, Columbiana and Car
roll, Judge Trip, of Carroll, having
withdrawn.

General DIX


During the war, and since, too, General
John a. Dix has been regarded as one of
the representative men of the loyal peo-
ple-by whom we mean that class who
held that in the rebellious act of the South
ern people a crime had been committed,
and that this crime deserved punishment,
and that the perpetrators of it, within GER
tain grades of authority, should be de-
prived of those privileges and immunities
which can alone consistently and properly
belong to legal citizens. But the recent
conduct of this gentleman has opened the
eyes of the people to the mistake they
were in, and will lead many to doubt even
the sincerity of that stirring order, which
made General Dix famous throughout the
land: "If any man attempts TO tear down
the American flag, shoot him upon the
spot" It is sad to see a man of Gen. Dix's
acknowledged ability playing the dems-
gogue, and stultifying the very best acts of
his life-acts that gave him q leading posi-
ton in the respect and honor of his country
men, and which, left uEimpaired by such
mistakes as that which he made in asso-
ciating himself with the traitorous coliec-
ton at Philadelphia, and allowing himself
to become a prominent ~exPounder of
their destructive views, would have given
him a memory in history second to few of
the public men of his country. That Gen
eral Dix felt tho weakness OF his new po-
sition, is sufficiently illustrated in his
speech to the Convention on assuming
the temporary Presidency. The lame
ness of that effort has excited only COM
miseration, that a man who has laid some
claim to craftsmanship should have COM
mitted himself to such illogical conclu-
siOns. We do not believe that General
Dix will be found a power in the interest
he has espoused. He will give it, we pre-
dict as little of his advocacy as he pos
sibly can, and if he is not already disgust
ed with it, we should not be surprised to
find him at any time refusing to have
anything further to do with it. But do
what he may, he can hardly hope to re-
store himself to the confidence once felt
in him by his loyal countrymen.

The Southern LOyaIista' Convention
The Convention of Southern Loyalist'
which is to assemble in Philadelphia Oh
the Sd of September, should meet with
such an expression of welcome from the
Northern people as'will make assurance
doubly sure that we have not forgotten
as the New York E0eaing Post would
have those true men believe, their self.
sacrificing devotion to the Union. Those
men will come among US as the represen-
tatives of that class who in the outset fear.
lessly and deiantly breasted the hurricane
blast Of secession that swept the South as
a simoom, and continued, after threats had
given place to acts, to uphold the integri-
ty of the old government, and defend, so
far as they could, the honor of the old
asg. In the darkest days of our struggle,
when the night of disaster closed in about
us, and our ship seemed bound to go down
before the storm, it was the iron will and
steadfast loyalty of these noble men of the
South that nerved us to renewed efforts.
Great as were our sacrifices, we felt that
theirs, surrounded as they were by enemies
seeking every opportunity to strike them
down, were not less nor easier to bear, and
in their courage and fidelity we found in
c~entives to that unyielding purpose which
at last had its reward in triumph. Powerless
as these Southern loyalists generally were
to assist Us, being constantly surrounded
and hunted at every turn by the minions
of treason, yet there were times when
they rendered great service to our armies,
and when their assistance was indispen-
sible. They come among us now to as
sure the world that they were sincere, and
their patriotism having been tried in the
fiery furnace of war, who shall doubt
them Brethren in adversely, they have
a right to claim our regard and consider
alton in the hour of success. Pennsylva-
MAJ RzARaring TO give them a welcome
worthy of their faith let the loyal peo-
pie of the other States greet them in the
spirit.
