leans. We discover there is, too, in the
expression upon this subject, some contra
riety of opinion.
Our own view can be expressed in few |
words. In our Judgment it is inexpedient |
to hold Convention on that day. Wei
think it wise for our party to defer anv
action in reference to State politics until |
after the nominations for the Presidency
are made, and the future radical policy in
reference to the government of the South
ern States is fully developed.
When, as party. we are called upon to
recommend, through our representatives in
convention, the policy we would see estab-
lished both in the State and the Federal
Governments, we ought to be able to cover
the whole ground, and submit to the poo
pie clear expression as to what we MAIN
tain and what we oppose. The affirmative
ground it would be easy enough at any
time to consider. That, in fact, is already es-
tabished. Butthe negative we are not now
able to present; because the Radical policy
Is yet, to some extent, in embryo o. and the
fruits of what has been fully declared are
not yet matured. Not until after next
winters Congressional action will the enor
mites OF Radical rule and wickedness be
seen in all their deformity, and not until
then can the Indictment against the leaders
OF the Radical party be properly prepared

voters. .--ere
These are our views upon this subject,
presented in few words, and as such we
submit them for the consideration of those
having this matter before them for action.
Unless some tar stronger argument can be
employed in favor of the call tor an Sth of
January Convention than has yet fallen
under our eye. we advise a postponement
of the subject. Let US have our Conven-
ton some time in June of next year, when
our candidates for the Presidency will be
in the field, and when we shall be enabled
to speak and act more Immediately upon
all the questions and measures then i'm

will be the same on The Sth OF January as
at any other time; but the application oi

The Dayton Journal, which few days
ago manifested very considerable zeal in
behalf of Gen. GRANTS nomination to the
Presidency, begins to show some signs OF
weakening. 1t discovers ga considerable
degree of meanness in the way the New
York Tribune opposes the nomination OF
Gen. GRANT to the Presidency" "a con-
siderable degree of meanness" has always
characterized the Tribune's opposition to
the Democratic party, and why it should
not indulge in its characteristic meanpess
toward any man it begets q dislike for in
| its own party is certainly strange.
The Tribune declares in emphatic terms
that it is the champion of principle and not
of men but avows an inability to discover
the complexion of General GRANTS politi-
cal views. The Dayton Journal has faith
enough to believe that General GRANT is
La good average Republican"-knows' 'from
good testimony that he indorses the recon-
struction measures of Congress" With
such knowledge the Journal ought to be
satified; but it is not. A''yet" troubles it,
and demands in the name of "betrayed"
Republican 'speople" that General GRANT,
in clear legible hand, ''shall, over his own
signature, substantially say: L ana Re-
publican, in accord with the Republican
party in its popularity understood charac-
ter and spirit" 1a.Hg
That's inst the thing General GRANT
don't W ant to do, for it would be death to
his political aspirations. The ''popularly
understood character and spirit" of "the
Republican party" is that it is the most
corrupt, wastsful and vindictive party that
has ever administered Government in this
or in any other country. Most truly does the
Journal say that ''the people have been be:
trayed, and they do not want to be de-
ceived again." And having been thus ''be-
trayed" and "deceived" by the Republican
leaders and politicians, they are not likely
to put their confidence in them, whether
they shall call upon them to vote for Gen.
eral GRANT or any other man as their can
didate for the Presidency, D.

IS 0COnservatized.o

The recent elections have exercised a
very subduing influence upon Republi
can members of Congress. They don't
talk Radicalism with the arrogance they
did short time ago. This change of tone
does not indicate thorough repentance, nor
anything like it. An apprehension that
they are about to lose power induces them
to affect an air of conservatism. MACK"
the special of the Commercial, writes under
date Washington, November 15, in regard
to those conservatized" gentlemen as fol-
lows: 81 .-
"Ben. Wade was not much mistaken
when he said, on recent occasion, You'll
see the damndest crawfishing ever was,'-
alluding to the prospective action of the
Republican party in Congress on the ques-
ton of Universal Suffrage. News come S
here that many who, year ago, were the
leaders of the van in this movement have
been so thoroughly 'conservatized' by the
result of the late elections that they have
| entirely abandoned what, a year ago, they
| proclaimed a heaven born principle, and
advocated as an idea chained, as Mr.. Wade
expressed it during the canvass, to the
throne of the Almighty. One would hard
ly suppose that Democratic majority
could destroy an idea safely tetheIe ed to
such hitching-post as that; but it seems
| it has"
1t is very evident that had the Republi
cans carried the elections this fall with the
same sweeping majority as last year, there
would scarcely be such thing as putting
metes and bounds to the Radical folly.
The President would have been forced
from his office, and the Southern people SO
dealt with as to have indefinitely postponed
healthful restoration. Great cause have
the people to be thankful with their falls
work. Let them now resolve to abate nc
work until the party which has so abused the
high trust reposed in it is voted out Of

STATE CONVENTION.


EIGHTH OF JANUARY CoNvENTIoN.-The
universal expression of the Democracy of
this county is for a State Convention on
the Eighth of January, tor the nomination
of State ticket and the selection of Dele
gates at large to the National Convention.
The holding ofan early convention has been
attended with glorious results this year,
and Justify the adoption of the same course
for the campaign of next year. We should
keep our standards full high advanced, and
our color bearers at the front. There is
another important reason for holding the
Convention at an early day-if the Democ-
racy of Ohio would have potent voice in
the National Convention, timely action
should be had. We hope the State Cen
tral Committee will designate the Eighth
of January-a day of sacred memory-for
the State Convention.
IFrom the Crawford County Forum1
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. We
presume none will urge any other time for
the assembling of the State Convention than
the Eighth of January. When it was aban-
doned, defeat ensued and when we recur-
red to it victory again perched on our
standard. Let us, bv all means, have State
Convention on the Eighth, so that the great
campaign of 1868 may be begun with the
beginning of the year. -.E

EIGHTH OF JANUARY.-We hope the Dem

rangements for the Presidential campaign
of 1868, in which we must cast the electoT al
vote of Ohio for the nominee of the party
in favor of paying the public debt, in favor
of equal taxation. in favor OF retrenchment

The STATE CoNvENTIoN.-We notice that
several of our exchanges are agltating the
question of calling the State Convention,
and the time when it should be called. So
far as we have noticed, they are invariably
in favor of the memorable Sth of January
as the time, and we think that that is the
day above all others it should assemble
The result of the late election should be a
lesson to us, and we should give heed to it,
by calling an early Convention, and pla-
cling the names of our candidates before

The Cleueldnd Plain Dealer says "the
Democratic party is proud OF its devotion
to the poor and ignorant" The party is,
no doubt, very devoted to any person who
can give it a vote; but if the Plain Dealer
means that it Is devoted to the interests OF
the poor and ignorant, "Heaven save the
mark 70 There has never been party in
any age or country, which, as unit, has
made war upon the poor and ignorant
twhere they could be Of no benefit to it)
with more persistent steadiness, or more
bitter, unmitigated hate and ferocity, than
has the party which the Plain Dealer eIlo-
gizes as their best triend.-Journal.
The Journal editor, like hog at feeding
time, puts his foot into it. s-,--r
Upon the statute book of Ohio, we doubt
il there is single law having for its object
the elevation of the masses or the protec-
tion of the honest poor, but owes its pater-
nity to the Democratic party.
The Homestead Law was introduced by
a Democrat, now editor of the wayne
County Democrat; the School Law, the
best in tho Union until tampered with by
unwise legislation, was written by a Dem
ocrat and passed by Democratic Legisla-
ture. And so we might write, even un-
to the end of the chapter.
If the Journal editor has not been bene-
fitted by Democratic legislation, he is an
exception to the rule that "the poor and
ignorant" have been aided. He is not
perhaps, in wealth, but in all other things
poor indeed, in the history of our State.

following from Washington letter from
MACK, the correspondent of the Commercial
to that paper:
Among the witnesses summoned before

now Federal office-hOlder in New York.
What he testified to, or was supposed to
know detrimental to A. j., cannot say.
but he yesterday met Mr.. Eldridge, of
Wisconsin, "a member of the committee,)
on Pennsylvania avenue, and addressing
him, said he supposed it wouldn't be neces-
sary for him to revise the report of his testi-
mony. NO" Eldridge said, 'that would be
all right ..Well," said Hillyer, '.there's one
thing you might have got out of me If you
had put the question to me, and you
came mighty near doing it when you
were examining me about Grant" whats
that ?p said Eldridge. why" replied
Hillyer, 81 heard a conversation between
General Grant and the President sometime
ago-the only time / ever heard them talk
politics. Grant seemed to be very earnest
about it, and bringing his hand down
heavily on the table, said he (Grant): Mr.

The true value of Mscf inery applied to W atoh-
making is not that by its use Watches made
rapidly, but that they made correctly. Very
fex people know why aWatham Watch should be
superior to any other 10 the first place. at alt
ham the Wsteh is regarded as only machine, to
be constructed like any other machine. on mechan-
ical principles If the Watches are good it is be-
cause the machinery is good. Of course there
must be no defect in the principle or plan of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes or shapes of
the pieces of which it is composed-nothing want
ing in their properties. and in their posi-
tions. These points once thoroughly settled, i
rests wholly with the machinery. constructed with
infinite diversity of form and function expressly
for the purpose to produce the finished pieces. By
means of multiplying guages and microscopes. tests
and inspection for the detection of in the cut
ting TOOLS and for faults aud flaws in steel stone
are made to accompany the work in every stage
from beginning to end As necessary result, the
Watch goes together perfect machine. Every
part is found to fit properly in its place. Every
pin may be pushed til it pinches. and every screw
turned homo. Instead of q sluggish and feeble ac-
ton. the bal ance, even under the pressure of the
iightest handspring. vibrates with wide an free
motion, and the beat has the clear ringing sound
always characteristic of the Waltham Watch. The
machine is timekeeper from the start.
This system of Matchmaking is unkno wn in for
e1sn countries, aud IS entirely original with the
Wsthau Company. The Company claim that by
it they produce Watches that cannot be equal ed
for every quality which makes Watch valuable.
Simple in plan and correct in principle, the move
ment is not only beautifully finished, substantial.
accurate and cheap. but is uniform in the minutest
details not easily damaged, and when repaired al
ways as good as new. There are different grades
of finish in the different variet of atches made
by the Waltham Company. as there are different
sizes and shapes to suit all tastes and means; but
every Watch that bears the genuine trademark of
'.WALraAM" is guaranteed to be a good one, and
nobody need be afraid to buy it.
