-eo and; Democracy. -fat t'-ii p

Mr.. NIBLACK and the other candi-
dates Of the Democracy in this Dis
trict have called to their aid the infa-
nous Brick PoMERoY, and his name
is emblazoned in all the Copperhead
journals as a great champion of
truth, who will enlighten the people
on their duties as loyal voters. On
the 29th of August, 1864, while Mr.
NIBLACK was denouncing and defam-
ing Mr.. LINCOLN in his canvass, this
same PoMERoY, in his paper, wrote as
follows: g
."B Lincoln is elected for another four
gears, zoe trust some bold hand ,c pierce has
heart aoith q dagger point for the pubtfc
good. ~
The hope of the fend was realized
Mr.. LINCOLN did fall by the assassin s
hand, whereat this same PoMERoY
proclaimed his satisfaction in the fol-
lowing words:
1--WE deprecate assassination, yet 0e feel
to thank God for calling Lincoln home '0her-
eUer that home may be! The will of God be
| always done on earth, as it is in Heaven.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 18.-The
Soldiers and Sailors Convention con-
vened to-day. 1t has been rainy out
doors, and disagreeable enough to re-
pei any body but tsoldiers. There was
somewhat larger attendance Of dele
gates, but the larger portion of the
room occupied yesterday by spectators
was vacant. The scenes of yesterday
were e-enacted, prior to the opening
of the Convention, large amount of
time being expended in cheers for fa-
yorite Generals. The band played
various tunes, which attracted no par
ticular attention, until it struck up
Dixie, which called out cheers Oh all
hands, the New York delegates show
ing particular affection for it by shout
ing and clapping of hands, which also
extended on all sides. Calls followed
for 6 Rally Round the Flag, Boys,
which was played in response and
greeted with cheer after cheer until
the chorus was reached, when the
delegates Joined in with the words
/" the Union forever" etc, and con
eluded with another enthusiastic out
burst of applause. The Committee

meeting had been called to order, re

The fogs ana clouds in IN \. which the
great question: of Southern restera4
Z ton have been covered up since the
adjournment Of Congress are at length
breaking away. We know not what
to do. We have been taught by the
famous mariner Daniel Webster, after
drifting about for many days in thick
weather and in an unknown sea, to
avail ourselves of the first glimpse of
the sun for ansobservation and a reck-
oning, in order to ascertain how far
the winds and the waves have driven
us from our true course. We thus
find from the bearings of the Maine
election that the true course for the
Southern States and administration is
laid down in the Constitutional
Amendment Of Congress- In other
words, we are convinced from the sig
nifcant results of the Maine election
that this amendmeht will carry all the
Northern States yet to come, and that
against the. solid North any further
resistance from the administration or
| the excludedISouthern Stateswill be
a waste ,of time; foolish and suicidal
to all concerned. =
1--WE would therefore urge, upon
President j ohnson- the1statesInanlike
policy of a truce with Congress, and
| an active cooperation with, the fixed
and predominant public opinion of
the North, in behalf of the immediate
restoration of, the South, on the basis
| of this constitutional amendment.
| We have shown that there is nothing
in it which the President has not him
self, at one time or another, recon-
mended as essential to the security of
the Union. 1t is not the Radical
plan; it IS not SO near, in fact, to the
rebel disabling and confscation act of
Thaddeus Stevens, as the propositions
put forth from time to time by An
drew Johnson, 1t is compromise
which the President ought to have
adopted in cooperation with Con-
gress, and which he ought now to
adopt at all events, because his con-
\ flict with Congress, if persisted IN,
will be most emphatically decided
against him. 1t cannot be otherwise.
The inevitable result is as clear to the
searcher for the true situation of
things as the light of the sun through
the breaking clouds. Not one of the
States that voted for Lincoln and
johnson will fail to adopt this consti-
tutional amendment, since New Jer-
