The Union Congresslonai OonVehtleh
in the Ninth Ohio District will be held in
sandusky on the l4th of August Gen
erAl b P. Buckland will without doubt be
nominated, IS he deserves TO be.
The Cnebsaati conumerciaL says that
there is no aAndreW johnson Club in
Cincinnati, but there is a "Co%nstitutional
Union Club which does Mr.. Johnson's
dirty work. "A rose by any other name
would smell as sweetln - "
The Springfield o. Republic says n
of the Senators and the member Of Con-
gress from the new State of Nebraska are
well known in Clarke county. One is
Rev. T. W. Upton, at n time pastor of
the First Congregational Church in
Springfield, who has been chosen Senator.
The other is Turner Marquart, Esq, who
has been elected on the Republican ticket
as Representative from the same State.
Both are good men, politically and per-
sonally, and will materially strengthen the
Union. cause in the national councils.
r GENERAL.
The President has caused notice to be
given that he does not intend to be pres
emit personally at the Philadelphia Con-
vention. He don't think it would be DEL
icate.
Not in vain did Sunrise Cox permutate
himself into a New Yorker. The World
thinks the geniality of s. s. will De as
valuable to the Philadelphia Convention
as the wisdom of Mr.. Tilden.
The Democratic State Central Commit
tee met at New Orleans on July 18th and
appointed the following gentlemen dele
gates to the Philadelphia Convention:
Gen. Dick Taylor, of the late rebel army
and brother-in-law of JEFF. Davis; Alex
ander Bouton, President of the State Sc
cession Convention; Duncan F. Kenner,
of the late rebel Congress; Judge E
Abel, who lately decided the Civil Rights
Bill unconstitutional; w. c. c. Clayborne
President of the First Secession Associa-
ton of the State and Hon. d. M. Spaffer,
late rebel Provost Marshal under General
Lowell. The seats of these gentlemen will
be contested BY another delegation, whose
names we published a day or two since,
appointed by an association of which
Christian Roesrus is at the head.
A circular has been issued by A. W.
Randall, now the Presidents nominee for
Postmaster General and President of the
johnson Club at Washington, to all Fed
eraI o Reo-h ldars, enclosing thecal o the
Philadelphia Convention, and requesting
them, if that call meets their appreciation,
10 signify it in a brief letter for Publica-
ton. OF course this implies q threat that
if the call does not meet their appreciation
they viii be removed. II is in effect a
command to all Federal officials to give
in their public adhesion to the Presidents
policy, on pain of Immediate removal.
The Democrats in the Ninth Illinois
District have determined to throw over
board their present Representative in Con-
gress, Lewis w. Ross.
The Norwich Bulletin, in an editorial
upon the p~Oliticalcareer of Senator Dixon,
notes the fact of his indorsing the call
for the Philadelphia "Bread-and-Butter
Convention, and supposing that of course
he will be present thereat, thus bids him
SaraweU. He has chosen To abandon
the party ofthe Union for a new concern,
which may live 8 month, but for whose
longer existence the omens are decidedly
unp-opitious. He goes into a lonely dis
trict. We shake hands at parting, and
can only ask him to give u kind remem-
brances to John Bell, Willard Fillmore,
James Buchanan and those other conser-
vative souls who used to enliven the coun-
try SO with their solemn songs over a
discovered Onion"
