The Senatorial Convention held at Hud
son to-day, have put in nomination Hon.
" J. CoPP, of Clifton.
Mr.. Corr needs no introduction to the
people of this county. He is one of its
oldest settlers and best known citizens.
He is man of integrity, ability and cul'
ture. He has already served us one torn
in the Assembly, where he won the conf
dence and esteem of his fellow legislato rs.
A firm and uncompromising Republican,
the principles of the party will find in
him ready and able defender, and steals
of all sorts will find him an active aud
vigilant foe.
I'VE cordially commend him TO the
support of Republicans throughout the
Dist, assuring them that they will find him
steady and strong in support of their
principles, and watchful to promote all the
local interests of the Northwest.

HBe We also Ready.n

1t is fact beyond all dispute that the
most candid and observing men regard
the present condition of the country rs
very critical, and the necessity for vigor-
Gus action and triumphant success on the
part of the Republican Union party as
never greater than now.
A defiant President, rebels bold and as
Stunning, reconstruction impeded, officers
who are cOnfessedly the peoples choice
wantonly removed, low, muttering threats
of forcibe resistance to the process of
law if the Congress Of the United States
dares to impeach the acting President,
all these things show that the time i'm
paratively demands the careful attention
and the vigorous action of loyal men.
We are not Of the class of croskers.
We believe that this nation has magnif-
iceut future before it-a glorious destiny
to achieve. We do not believe that the
Divine Providence which has brought us
safely through the great perils Of war,
will now permit us to be bafled by the
obstinate will of an erring President, or
defeated by weak or wicked Legislation.
But God works by means in govern
ment as in grace, and he ighteous recon
struction of the late rebel states on the
imperishablo basis of loyalty and justice
can only be achieved by persistent cOTtin
uanee in well doing. The Democratic party
has no love f,r the President, but It goads
him on in opposition to Congress, and he
halls every Democratic gain as an en-
dorsement OF his action. Votes tell
They are the interpreters of the peoples
will. Ii is the imperative duty of loya!
men-of all who believe that " they who
love the flag should rule the land" to do
all in their power to roll up n popular
vote which shall endorse our patriotic
congress and strengthen its determination
in the interest of its loyal defenders:
To every inactive or sleeping Republi-
can, we would repeat the solemn war
nlng, ''Be We also ready" Confirm the
doubtful, win the wavering, encourage
your fellow workers, and show to the
world, as far as your action goes, that
you mean to secure beyond all doubt or
contingency, the hard,won results of the
war against rebellion.

The School superintendent.

Prof. R. L. REED, of this city, has
been nominated by the Republicans for
the office of Co. School Superintendent.
Mr.. REED is a practical teacher. and for
five years past has been Principal of the
school here. He will bring to the office
experience ms an educator, and a famil-
iarily with the methods of instruction
now in use.
We are frank to say that We regard
the system of eIecting Co. Superinten-
dents a failure. Excep: in the matter of
examining teachers, and seeing that one
does not take chage of school who has
not at least some fitness, they generally
do no good. Nine tenths of the work
of visiting schools does no good, and
the money paid for it is wasted. 1t is
only now, and then a man who has the
faculty of awakening interest and inspi-
ring enthusiasm in schools. Mr.. REED
is, without doubt, the best fitted for this
office of any man IN the county, and will
discharge ils duties with conscientious Fl
deity. We presume there will be no
strong opposition to his election.

the trials and labors Of that noble band
of women who exerted themselves in pris-

that these women exercised in caring for

the common enemy, that spirit of charity
and abnegation of prejudice which is
the greatest charm of women.

AWFUL CALAMITY-lNFANT SMOTHER
ED.-This morning we are called upon
to chronicle most distressing incident
in domestic life. 1t seems a lady who
has been boarding for year or two past,
had just commenced house keeping, and
learning of the wonderful success of
"Smith's Saleratus," but had never used
it, purchased paper, took it home. and
in making bread used the same quantity
as formerly with other brands in market,
put it by the stove to raise, and left the
room, leaving her sleeping infant on the
floor. But who can imagine the feelings
of the distracted mother, when on her
return, she found her Rooms filled, and
her child-alasl
Read and follow the directions on each
paper of Smiths Saleratus."

the fearful condition of sinners at the judg-

flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that
know not God, and that obey not the gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ" he paused mo-

have done wisely in nominating Mr.. E.
Holt, of Union, for the Assembly. An
old resident here, thoroughly acquainted
with the wants of the District, possess
ing the confidence of all who know him,
he will make an honest, sound, practical
legislator. Mr.. HOLT is largely endowed
with that uncommon quality, common
sense. He will be voted for with pleas
uro and elected by large majority.
