spirits, sounding the tocsin of alarm whenever

said on previous occasion, and repeat now,
that all that was necessary in the great strug-
gle against tyranny anu desp0tism, was, that
the struggle should be sufficiently audible for
the American people to hear and properly un-
derstand. They did hear, and, looking on and
seeing where their constituents were, and
what that struggle was about, they were de-
termined that they would settle this question
on the side Of the Constitution and of princi-
pie. proclaim here to-day, as have on other

We have seen Congress gradually encroach
step by step upon Constitutional rights, and
violate day after day the fundamental princi-

Congress that seemed to forgetHthat there was

minority, assume to exercise powers which If
allowed to be carried out, would result in des-

Colonel COnneII's Speech NOmInat-
ing General Walker for Supreme
Nudge.
General WALKER was nominated by Col
onel CoNNELL as the soldler-candidate for
Supreme Judge, in the late Radical State
Convention. In presenting the name of
the General, the "gallant" Colonel essayed
to make speech to help his man along.
The military candidates for Secretary OF
State had just all been slaughtered by the
men who make the loudest professions OF
friendship for the soldier; and, smarting
under this indignity, the Colonel, on be-
half of the soldiers in the Convention, rose
to make final appeal for the liquidation
of the ''debt of lasting gratitude" that the
Delegates all acknowledged themselves as
owing. He said he had something to
say about his friend, General WALKER
that the Convention probably did not
know. It was this: The General had not
only done his duty fighting Rebels In the
South; but he had also donemore than any
other man In the Army TO help whip the
Northern COpperheads. To him, more than
to any other man, were the loyal peo-
ple indebted for inaugurating a move
ment by which the soldiers were
enabled to swell BRoUGHs majority
over VALLANDIGHAM to more than
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND. This much,
he thought, was due to his friend that
he should make known; and he trusted
It was sufficient to insure recognition by the
Convention. But the Colonel reckoned with
out his hostl The potency of the maledic-
tions against the Copperheads is gone; and
the soldiers have no longer claims to be
substantially respected in Republican
Convention. General WALKER received
only F1FrY-E1aHT votes; and Col. CoNNELL
subsidized.

Smith with votes which should have been
given to Gen. Wildes. -

says: THE Union State Convention re-
solved that the nation owes the heroic men
of our army and navy debt of lasting
gratitude And then to show how exceed
ingly grateful they we're to those soldiers
who aided to put down the rebellion, they
defeated two OF three general officers who
were candidates before the Convention

Some dozen or more Indians-Pawree or

squads of two and three, visiting, on beg

from their broken English and gibberish,
they had been acting as scouts for Uncle

The CruIzer Colt is the very image Of his
sire, and gives promise of making a good
horse when he gets his age. We noticed
Mr.. John Rarey, SO celebrated for tanning
the sire, watching closely the performance
of the colt.
The start could hardly be bettered; and
the race was one of those close ones which
leav euucertain who will win.
They rode neck and neck to the half mile
pole, when Liverpool pushed forward as If
TO take decided front place. But Benwood
was not to be shaken off so easily, and he
hung close to his saddle girths till they
come down on the home stretch, when Liv-
erpool let out another link and lead the
way to the score by length, winning the
race in 20214.
We feel proud of the performances OF
these Ohio bred horses, and feel certain that
OH so heavy track better time could not
be made. ... -.-

The Races Ye.terdaY.

The rains of night before last were very
discouraging to the patrons of the turf, and
many thought the races would be postpon-
ed or lose their interest, yesterday, because
of the very heavy track. We are glad to
say the show of time will compare favora-
bly, with that of any day, all things consid-
cred.
The attendance was not near as large as
on Thursday, nor were the fairer portion of
humanity out in so liberal numbers as on
that day, yet very respectable attendance
showed that the lovers of the turf were not
to be stopped, by few inches of mud, from
the enjoyment of their favorite sport.
There were three en- tries for the first race,
Nelly Gwynne, Andrew johnson and the
Eudorser colt, Nelly ranking first in the
pool selling and in the betting. 1t was
conceded that if she had the strength to
pull out of the mud she would win the
race.
Before starting it was rumored that there
was to be some foul riding, that an ar
rangement had been made by which Nelly
was to lose the first heat to win bets for in
terested parties. This coming to the no.
tice of Col. Olmstead, he promptly ordered
new rider for the mare, and charged the
riders to ride fair; telling them that if they
| were ruled off. that track for unfair riding
they would not be allowed to ride on any
other in the States, according to an ar
rangement of all the Associations. Thus
cautioned they were ordered to mount. ant
the bell tapped for a start on the first heat
the Endorser on the inside and In the lead
johnson second and Nelly behind. The
time was fearfully slow for the first hal
mile. As they neared the pole Nelly
brushed past and took the lead, and thu
race now commenced for the heat. They
made o fine run down the last quarter
Nelly winning the heat by length in 2:07
The second heat found Nelly on the in
side, Endorser next and Andy outside
They made good start and showed work
from the jump as thay neared the hom'
stretch. The Renfro horse made fine pla!
for the first place and made the little mar
stretch herself to win the heat, which sh'
did In 1:571z. Pretty good time we thinl
for track half mile deep in mud il
places. q.r les ..... o.r
Nelly's friends were now jubilant AM
confident in her ability to win the race
and offered any odds without takers. AL
were satisfied that she was not to be beatel
on any kind of track, and the hackers 0
the other horses commenced. to hedge II
save themselves. '-
On the third heat Nelly had the advan
tage of nerrly two lengths start; and sh'
kept it all the way round, though not with
out furious struggle on the part of th
other horses, which she set at naught, win
ming the heat and the race. Time 2:04.
