@-Duriug the Session of the johnson

Gss-During the Session of the johnson Con-
vention in Philadelphia, Dir. Doolittle announced
that he had received despatch from Colorado,
announcing that the Administration party had
carried the State by large majority This an
nouncement was greeted by rapturous applause,
but--Mr. Doolittle was hoaxed, as the following
despatch will show:
DENVER, COLORADO, August 2O.-ChiIIicott
Radical Republican, is elected delegate to Con-
gress over Hunt, the Administration candidate
The despatch referred to by Senator Doolittle in
the Philadelphia Convention is erroneous The
southern counties, hitherto Democratic return

Danger Ahead.

We hoped when the war ended that our great
est troubles, as nation were over but we find
we were deceived We supposed, of course, that
we elected truly loyal men when Lincoln and
Johnson were elected. In Mr.. Lincoln we
were not deceived. He was one of thep urest and
truest patriots that ever lived. MIR. johnson,
however has shown himself to be false to his pledg
rs and false to his party and false to his country
The very men who fought to destroy our govern
ment have its protecting arm thrown around
them while prosecuting and numbering the Union
men of the South. Mr.. johnson interfered in the
troubles in New Orleans, when according to his
own showing, he had no right to interfere, and
he did SO in favor of rebels his acts encouraged
the rioters to proceed in the bloody work and
upon his head is the blood of the murdered I'm
ionists, who fell in that city, by the hands of the
rebels in the late riots. Gen. Sheridan says that
the late disturbances form but o part of gener-
al plan to drive the Union men from the State.
He certainly ought to know what he is talking
about as he commands the Department including
New Orleans. All over the South the same spirit
prevails that animates the New Orleans rebels -
Deadly hatred of the United States government
and of the Union men are the controlling ele-
ments in the political character of those lately in
arms against US. They feel strong now, because
they think the President is with them and that is
just what they are aiming at. Then they would
repudiate the National Debt the Constitutional
Amendment prohibiting slavery, assume the pay
m"nt OF the Rebel War Debt, pension rebel SOL
diers, re-establish slavery and act the part of
tyrants generally as they did once before. They
are fierce against Congress because their Senators
and Representatives, fresh as they are from the
rebel army, are not admitted to seats in Congress
One more hope is left to them with the aid Of
the Northern Democrats these same rebels expect
| to get the control of the government and if they
succeed then we will begin to sorrow and trou-
BILE in earnest. II the Union party loses control
of the government the people will find that the
blood and treasure spent in the late war were
wasted. We cannot believe that the people are
SO much blinded as to permit the rebels to take
possession of the government after all that has
taken place within the last few years. There in
danger ahead-let the people beware.

Our Candidates for Congress.

From the proceedings published elsewhere, it
will be seen that the Hon. John L. Thomas, Jr.,
was unanimously re-nOminated for Congress by
the Convention which assembled in Baltimore on
Wednesday last. This is but fitting recogni-
ton Of the services OF this gentleman. While
other leaders OF party wavered in their alle-
glance, or proved false to their party, Mr.. Thorn
stood firm to the great principles he was elect
ed to carry out, representing his constituents
faithfully and firmly. The entire nnanmity
with which he has betn renominated, is but an
augury of the overwhelming vote which will re-
elect him IN November.
The Convention Tor the Fifth District, selected
VIM. J. Albert, Esq, of this county, as their
standard bearer. Ever since treason developed
itself, Mr.. Albert has been firm consistent 10y
alist, and was one of the electors on the Lincoln
and Johnson ticket in the last Presidential con-
test. The odds against him, it is true, in
his district, hut we feel sure that Mr. Albert will
m Ike gallant fight.

The Johnson Conventlon.

The politicians and ofice-holders who hang by
Andrew Johnson's coat-tails, reinforced by Cop
perhead and Rebel delegations from all parts Of
the country, held their long contemplated gather
ing in Philadelphia last week. AS it was not in
any sense representative body, composed Of del
egates. delegated by the people to accomplish
special end, its proceedings amounted~to nothing
more than formal reiteration of the views that
have been so often expressed by President John
son and his personal adherents. Not having been
called in response to any popular demand or APP
parent necessity, the acts of the Convention are
not likely to produce any great disturbance in
the political world. There will be, as heretofore,
but two great parties in our National politics -
One of these parties may undergo radical changes
in its composition, and be led to battle under a
new Aag and by unaccustomed generals, but
these facts will make little difference in the ulti-
| mate result.
The feature Of the Convention which invites
the most pointed remark is the almost total ex-
cluson from its business of the old Democratic
leaders. These men were present in strong num-
bers, but by the skilful generalship of the Doc
little and Raymond faction they were forced to
take back seats, and accept thankfully whatever
favors were vouchsafed them. This is shown by
the exclusion Of the representative men of the
Northern Democracy. Vallandigham, the author
Of the Ac Clellan Platform Of 1864, was obliged to
absent himself from the sessions Of the body to
which he had been duly accredited as delegate.
The managers, who thus shrink from contact
with an honored leader Of the Democratic party,
did not hesitate to take active and out. spoken
Rebels by the hand and to enlist them as recruits
in the johnson brigade. Having succeeded in
committing the Democratic leaders to their
schemes SO fully as to preclude retreat, the Doc
little faction coolly assumed the reigns took up
| the whip and drove the machine through in lit
| eral accordance with the orders issued from the
State department and the Executive Mansion at
Washington
