my, were both participants in the Indi-
ana Democratic State Convention
That was a good reply of General Haw-
ley at the meeting in Norwich, the other
evening, when asked if he was an Andrew
johnson man; II am no mans man but

In the Senate of Nevada on the oath
ult., a concurrent resolution approving
the veto of the Freedman's Beareau bill,
and thanking Senator Stewart for voting

So obnoxious is Hester CIymer, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania on account Of his hostility

1t is stated that Secretary McCulloch
has written to several Republican Con-
gressmen urging that something be
speedily done to restore harmony between
the Government and the Southern States,

conference of leading men of the two
sections now in Washington.
Joseph Mayo is up for the Mayoralty of
Richmond again, and will probably be
elected. He was removed from Office last
year by the military but according to the
Republic has become so thoroughly re-

Hon. VIM. D. Kelly, in which he gives
up President johnson as 'lest to the

ment by arms, it is now trying to do it
through the ballot. He says the Southern
heart is being rapidly fired, and that all
this has been done by the mistakes of the
President.
President johnson may well exclaim f:
'Savo me from my friendsw His veto
message and subsequent policy have al
ready received the damning support of
the Northern Copperhesds and the South
ern rebels. 1t needed but one more to
complete the trio-and that is the Anglo
rebel sentiment in England, represented
by the London Times. And now the
want is supplied-the Thunderer declares
that "the courage and decision exhibited
by Mr.. johnson viii confirm the respect
in which his policy has been held 1t is
enough. The three high contracting par
ties who united in the construction of the
Chicago platfOrm-Northern Copper
heads, Southere rebels and British traders
are equally unanimous in lauding the
course of President johnson. Does the
country need further proof of its wisdom
and Justice A?
