ably be the nominee of the Republicans
for Congress in the Seventh Indiana, D.
W. VOORHEES,, district.
Hon. j. W. McClurg, of Missouri, has
concluded to accept a denomination for
Congress from the Radicals, he having
been inhuentially urged to do so.
In his philippe against the President
last Saturday, Representative Ingersoll
sharply said ANDREW johnson himself
had made treason odious by his treachery
to the party that elected him"
There is to be a great Union demon
stration in Faneuil Hall, Boston, to-day,
Thursday. Senator Yates and General
Garfield; Colonel Stokes of Tennessee
and Mr.. Mckee of Kentucky, have been
invited to speak.
1t is suggested that Wendell Phillips,
having denounced both Gov. Banks and
Gov. Andrew as "traitors," and Gov.
Bullock as q murderer" ought to run for
Governor himself, so IS TO have a State
Executive to suit him.
The Hartford Press says that Governor
Buckingham, having consented to permit
the use of his name for the Senatorship,
ithe fact at once changed the aspect Of
the Senatorial canvass at New Haven.
His friends said that as it was admitted
that he would have been the choice Of the
people if it had been known that he was
in the field, it would not be improper for
the Legislature to heed the popular wish"
A friend of the President has stated at
Washington that the President will call
an extra session of Congress next March,
for the purpose Of getting the members
from the rebellious States back into their
places as soon as is possible. This of
course hangs upon the important condi-
ton that the radical Republicans are
beaten in the Congressional election.
Direct information from Gen. John A,
Logan's friends in the old Egyptian Dis
triet of his State leaves no doubt as TO his
position on the great issue between the
loyal people and Congress on side,and
the President on the other. Gen. Logan
is for the loyal people and Congress. and
against the reconstruction policy of the
President, without reservation.
Ex-Governor John Letcher, of Virginia
in a recent letter, states that he takes no
part in politics, and has not cast a political
vote since 1861. He says that he is pecu-
niarliy ruined, and. is compelled to pursue
his profession. He says in conclusion s;
THE only service 1 can render is TO give
the country the benefit of my example, in
showing a proper respect for the laws Of
the land, and a practical obedience there

Second Assistant Postmaster General
Randall recently asserted that no nan
should eat the Presidents bread who re-
fused to support his policy, and we doubt
not that he meant business. If this state
ment is true, and we cannot doubt it, it is
time for Union men to dismiss all hopes
Of q settlement of the disagreement be-
tween the President and the party, and
brace themselves for a struggle in defence
of their principles. If he has got into the
hands of Cox and men of that class, he
touched bottom, and is past redemption.
Close up the ranks.
Thos. E. NOEL, member of Congress
from the Third District, Missouri, has
come home to look after his reelection.
He Will have opposition in the person
of Jas. r. Mccormick, who announces
himself as a candidate subject to the ac-
ton of the Conservative District Conven-
ton, and who says NOEL is a candidate of
neither party, and that Conservative men
will not support him in his present posi-
ton. This will probably force NOEL to
take clearly defined grounds against the
Radical party in his district, and his only
hope of reelection will be close utilization
with and actual joining of the Copper
heads.
