Gov. Norton.

We do not think any of our readers
will feel disposed to demand an apol-
ogy from us for giving up so much of
our space this morning to the power
full but lengthy speech of Governor
MORTON. 1t is one of the most with
ering reviews of the past and present
operations of the Confederate Democ.
racy that we have anywhere seen. His
terse summary of their record during
the war is as comprehensive as it is
brief and thorough, and his discussion
of the question Of reconstruction both
clear and candid.
We shall attempt no review or lau-
dation of the speech. We anticipate
that it will be read by nearly every
subscriber of the JOURNAL. The
Governor speaks his mind SO plainly
that all may know exactly what he
thinks and where hestands We re-
gret that his health will not permit
him to canvass the State as he would
like. Two or three speeches from him
in every Congressional. District would
materially add to the Union vote.

Commissioners Of the State Of Ohio, to devise a

South was determined to separate from the
North. The North was tender toed, weak
kneed and blear eyed The Southern politicians
had divided the Methodist Church as grand
preliminary move for the work. They rejected
Douglas as their candidate for the Presidency.

The Commission for the conference Of which he
was a member, was brought into life by South
en influence, not to make any compromise,
but to make capital. Well, l could see mo- Inn
propriety in whipping the devil around their
own stump, consequently wrote Judge Hitch
cock at Washington that il was my opinion he
would be justified in making very liberal con-
cessons; in the mean time knowing that they
would not accept Of anything but Constitution
al slavery throughout the length and breadth OF
the land, or fight, with the Democracy OF the
North as their allies believed the North
would go into the fight with better pluck in
consequence of such concessions being refused.
Was that not matter Of fact2 If he lost
political capital by my advice, let IL be charged
to my account and not used to aisqualfy him
for the position of Judge, for which he is SO
eminently fitted.

URI SRELY.

Mr.. EDITOR:
The Grand River Conference at its late ses-
sion, unanimously adopted the following paper
on the state of the country, and by their request
l send you copy for publication
WHEREAS Although the war has been declared
to be ended, the spirit of the rebellion still ex-
lists, manifesting itself in mobs and acts OF vlo-
lence, and whereas the President of the United
States, while protesting to refuse profered pow
er, has attempted to take the reconstruction Of
the rebellious States into his own hands, not re-
garding the rights Of Congress in the case or
ther rights of Southern loyalists, white and col
ored And whereas it is his policy to admit the
rebelous States 70 their forfeited privileges on
basis of unequal representation, and without
suitable guarantees for the future, and is en-
deavoriDg to enforce his Policy upon Congress
and the country in an unwarrantable manner,
therefore
REs0LvED 1st., That we have in the occur
renee of frequent mobs and acts of violence,
and the results of recent elections, conclusive
proof that the spirit of rebellion is ascendant in
the States not reconstructed.
RESOLVED I'd, That we believe that their
Aasty admission to their former position in the
Union, according with the Policy of the Pre-
sideDt, would be fatal to the rights and interests
of the Freedmen and the loyal whites of the
South that it would bring discord and war
rather than peace, and that it would leave un
settled the great question which brought upon
US the late war and lis attendant evils.
RrsoLvgD Sd, That Congress has our hearty
approval and support In its attempts to restore
the Union, In such manner as TO protect oil
classes in the enjoyment of their natural rights.
And we believe that the Representatives OF the
States lately in rebellion, should not be permitted
to take their sents in the National Legislature
until they, in good faith, sanction the Amend
ment to the Constitution passed by Congress,
and put the ballot into the hands Of the Freed
men.
REsotveD 4th, That we regard the coming
election as OF paramount importance, and we be-
lieve that if Congress is endorsed by the loyal
masses tbe perilous crisis will be safely passed,
and as the friends of Justice and Righteousness
OF God and Humanity, we pledge ourscly es to
do our utmost TO secure this end.

Judge ChaAee's chances of success are
5eqini,,gto appear IKE "diSsolring vie'cs." "

Records seem to take conspicuous
place in this Judicial campaign, and we
ask the voters to say which record they
like best of the two presented, Judge
Hitchcock's is solely on his action in the
Peace Convention. Where he voted to
ascertain if the South would have peace
or war, and to save the Border States,
not one word in this exciting campaign,
has any one had the audacity to speak
against his character, ability, or reputa-
tion as eilher citizen or Judge. Judge
Chaffee's record shows that in his adj
ministration of five years upon the
Bench, he has lost the confidence of his
associates, and that the lawyers who
practice in his court, have no confidence
in his "intcgrity, fairness or impartiality,"
which of these two do you prefer, voters
of this Sub-iudicial district? We ask
you for an dHSacer at the polls pe9t Tues
ddy.
Judge ChalIce's friends, not liking
the damaging effect of the address and
other documents issued by his opponents,
and not being able to answer them in
any other way, try to be funny over
them, and call them all "Elash." They
did so in the Sentinel last week and re-
peat the dose in large pills this week
They thought that the cats-paw and law
yer chestnuts, &c, was such splendid
hit, and so decidedly rich, that they must
renew it this week, and the Editor of
the paper takes the trouble to put it
in the form of fable, for little boys, by
which name as we presume in his mirth-
full and sportive mood, he intends to
dub his readers. This may be fun for
the friends of Judge Chaffee, in the
gloomy prospects which they sec before
them for success, and to them it may APP
pear to take the place of logic. In the
900 majority which Ashtabula county
is sure to give for Judge Hitchcock, they
will see that the voters of this county
prefer facts rather than fancy, truth rath-
or than fiction, and candor and integrity,
rather than false-hood and misrepresent-
alton. Every body says Judge Chaffee
is loosing ground. If every voter will
candidly consider the merits of the two
candidates, and vote conscientiously,
Judge IIitchcock's majority, will be
1000 in Ashtabula County, and we shall
have Judge in whom every one has con-
fidence.

The Judgeship,
Ten Reasons Why N. L. Chaffee
Ought Not to be Elected.

1st. He dictated himself as a candidate first
TO tho Bar aud second to the people.
3D. He was not the first choice of the
people for the place.
Cd. lie was not fairly and honorably nomin-
ated.
4th. He has not the qualities most desirable to
fit him to fill the position with credit TO himself
and advantage to the public.
5th. He has not the confidence and respect
Of his associates of the Bar, who must from the
necessity of The case, know him much better
than the people.
9Th. He is not like other men, or long asso-
ciation with him, would ally intelligent, honor
able business men to him, instead of driving
them from him as is the case. Those who
know him best, arc most bitter toward him. and
have least confidence in him.
9TH. He must be essentially defective in some
great and good qualities both of head and heart,
or the best men would be among his friends
Sth. He is supremely a selfish man, or he
would regard his word, and rot force himself
into delicate position against the wishes of
those who are MORE than his equals, and whose
preference he ought TO heed.
9th. He is an ISsASELr ambitious man. or he
would not be in the mean position he is, scram-
bling for an honorable position with the use of
the most disreputable and dshonorable means.
10th. He is too much wanting in every ele
ment that is high and noble, to do himself or
the position credit. I
