their own strong arms, will supplant the

proved in productiyeness and value, and the
wealth of the country will be augmented.
Thrift and economy will be substituted for
the lavish expenditure and wasteful prolu-

GENERAL SIMON CAMERON ON PREsr-
DENT JOHNsoN.-A Radical" meeting
was held at Harrisburg, Pa, on Wednesday
week last, at which General Cameron pre-.
sided.
General Cameron, on taking the chair,
briefly alluded to the situation Of public af
fairs, contrasting it as it existed now with
what it was year ago. A year ago we
were told by the man whom a terrible acci.
dent made President, that traitors must and
would be punished. To-day that same man
is plotting not merely to tighten the penalties
CT treason, but actually to secure such a re.
cognition for traitors as would give them a
precedence and power in the Government
which they did not possess before they con.
spired for its overthrow. These facts could
no longer be concealed Andrew Johnson's a
taithlessness TO the policy and the party
which made him Vice President had become
portion OF the common shame OF treason.
1t was useless to deny it any longer. while
those that sought its justification would he
compelled to share its odium General
cameron then casually alluded to what had
been and yet was expected from the Govern
ment in dealing with traitors. The peonle
who saved the GoVernmet expected the oil.
um OF treason to rest forever on the .orgina-
tors OF the late rebellion. II hundred
leading Rebels had been seized at the end of
the war-if jeff Davis and his immediate
associates had been tried, convicted and
hanged, the troubles would have been over
and the work OF rehabilitation finished -"

THE UNION Nom1nAr,nrs.

The Republican Union Convention assem-
bled at Dover, on Wednesday last, and
nominated JAMES RIDDLE, of Christiana
Hundred, fer Governor, and JOHN l..
McKIM, of Georgetown, for Representative
in Congress.
Mr.. RIDDLE, the nominee for Governor, is
among-the most extensive cotton manufac
turers on the Brandywine He settled in
this State some years ago, when "the
Banks" was but sparsely peoped, and en-.
gagged extensively in business Through
his exertions and influence much has been
done 10 improve and beautify the locality,
and add wealth to the County. Every i'm
provement received from him liberal en-.
couragement, and our mechanics and arti.
sans have been greatly benefited by his pro-
gressive spirit He is a gentleman of fine
abilities, eminently qualified for the distin-
guished position for which he has been
nominated, and will shed lustre upon our
little Commonwealth.
Mr.. RIDDLE was somewhat conservative in
his political opinions during his earlier life,
but when traitors raised their parricidal
hands and endeavored to destroy the govern
ment, he threw aside every personal consid.
Grafton or political preference and stood firm
ly in support of the government. He was
among the most active and liberal in his eff
forts 10 strengthen the nation's hands in its
efforts to crush out treason. When troops
were to be raised no one worked with more
determined will to accomplish that object;
and when means were needed to aid in arm
ing and equipping the troops, the strings Of
hispurse were quickly unloosed and he gave
freely for that purpose. The wives and
families of our gallant soldiers never ap
pealed in vain TO him for aid, and many
home has been rendered comfortable and
happy by his bounty On the field of strife
and amid the sickening scenes that sur
round the hospital, he was ever eager to
alleviate the sufTerings of the sick and
wounded
The Convention has presented man for
the Gubernatorial chair whom the Union
party may well be proud of and one who
will administer the office in such manner
as to elevate tile character and dignity Of the
State. He will be triumphantly elected.
The Convention nominated for Represen
tative in Congress, JoHN L. McKIM, of
Georgetown, gentleman of fine talents and
answering loyalty.
The campaign has been opened. Our
banner has been thrown to the breeze with
the name of JAMES RIDDLE, inscribed on its
folds ltnow becomes the Union men TO pre-
pare for the battle. Let us go into the con
test with determination to defeat the foes
OF Republican liberty, and if every man
docs his whole duty, we will come out of
the battle victorious, ant. Delaware will take
its place in the galaxy of loyal States of the
Union.

A STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT FROM
GENERAL SHERIDAN Albany Evening
journal says:-Gen. Sheridan has said tbat
"the late riot in New Orleans was not the
effect of hastily congregated mob, but the
result of preconcered plot of the Rebels 10
slaughter the leading Union men of the
State, y and that sit is but the commence
ment of the rebel plan to rid Louisiana of
Union men"
Whether Gen. Sheridan has said this for
mally in despatch to Gen. Grant or not, it
is undoubtedly true. The evidence of pre-.
concert is overwhelming and the "unneees.
sary sacrifice of life" on the fatal Monday,
can only be reconciled upon the principle
that the rebels. have resolved upon exter.
mination.

divisions Of the globe, and get up war. In
AbysSinia, country south of Egypt, a battle
as imminent between the King, Theodore IL and
a chioftain named aubasSe, who aspires to the
throne. The latter, on account of the dsspotio
rule of the King, has secured many adhsrents
and his army ia quite as powerful as that of ,bs
King. Both sides are making great prepsra-
