Political Condition or The Country.


Political Condition or The country.
That great activity prevails IN the
two great political parties Of the M
ton, Is plainly sccn by all who ARE
UP with the news Of the day, and our
sound thinking men and patriots are
beginning to take courage. Tbcrnd-
icals are making strenuous efforts 10
carry the next Presidential election.
bumpers are cndeavorlng to further
blind the masses Of the people by
leading them astray upon issues ut
tcrly false. These hcartlcss dcma-
gogues and national plundercrs have
become alarmed, and are fearful that
ticir continuance in power is decid-
edly uncertain. They begin to see
dimly the handwriting on the wall,
and to perceive that the people are
fast awakening from their apathy to
view clearly the condition Of political
affairs. No wonder, then, that the
arch-traitors TO constitutional liberty,
Sumner, Stevens a Co., are uneasy
and anxious, and so solicitous to lead
the minds Of the people away from
the investigation Of the great ques-
tons of the day. Ben. Wade told
a western audience recently that they
might expect another bloody rebel
lion, and that the only salvation for
the country was in the triumph of the
radical party-that the Southern peo-
pie were as rcbelliousas ever, and that
the Southern Coppcrhcads were ready
for an outbreak. We have the con-
ISOLATION Of knowing, however, that
this traitor has recently "Bcn. Wade
and found wanting"
Such arc the miserable and con-
temptiblc falschoods used by the rad
ical leaders North, and their God
iorsaken understrappers South, 10
excite the people and TO lead them
from the proper contemplation of the
Infamous, odious and unconstitutional
measures Of Congress, so-callcd.
Fearing the just indignation aud
judgmcn, Of an outraged people, they
stop at nothing, no matter how mon
strous, in order to divert public
attention away from the illegal pro-
ccedings aud their damnable project:
for their own future aggrandizcment
and the ruin Of the republic. They
are adopts in the unblushing art Of
deception. Swindling Is their policy
lying Is their practice, and stealing
their everyday vocation. They seek
to deceive the great masses Of III,
people; but the doocivcrs arc them.
selves deceived. Not one promis,
solemnly uttered by them has beer
fulfilled. The false din raised BY
these leading traitors will fall upon
~anhceding ears, and cries Of another
rebellion win utterly fail to distract
the attention Of patriots. There Is :
day of reckoning coming. though Il
may not be just now, and the greater

We have convincing evidence OF It's intrinsic
worth, sufficient TO justify us in the enormous
expense Of bringing 1t to the notice Of the

Sanford Conover Sketch OF his Life.

| banI0ru OonOVer "A oKbLcn OF MS Lie.
Conover is bold, bad man. He was
born in Westchester county, in this State.
His father was very respectable man,
named Dunham, and died leaving an es-
tate of about 100000 His son, Charles
A. Durham, now Sanford Conover, re-
ceived good education, and afterward
read law in the Office of Van Antwerp &
James, in New York city While in
their Office he exhibited great aptitude.
In a very short space of time he quail
fed himself to prepare complaints or
answers in the most difficult and
intricate cases, He also evinced very
great capacity in availing himself
Of every opportunity to change wrong
into an apparent right. He continued
in the office of Van Antwerp & James
until the death of his father, when, in
conjunction with his mother, he admin
istered on the estate of his deceased
parent, and managed by trick to OBJ
tain possession of letters testamentary
from the Surrogate without filing the
requisite legal security. Having thus
obtained the control of the estate, he led
reckless, spendthrift life, nearly ex.
hausting the property before the friends
Of his mother succeeded in putting stop
to his bold and desperate career.
When the war broke out he resolved
to turn it to advantage, and follow out
his devil.may. care sort of life He sue
ceeded in ingratiating himself into favor
with Secretary OF War Cameron, and
after the battle of Bull Run he started a
military organization under the title of
the Cameron Legion" which, of course,
never amounted to anything. But it
enabled him to swindle the Government
of q large amount of supplies of
every kind, all of which he con-
verted to his individual use. The
men enlisted for his legion and
sent TO him were sold by him into or
CARNATIONS, and finally the legion eI-
ploded. He then engaged in the bust
ness of substitute brokerage, which he
carried on successfully for some time
When business was dull he would enlist
himself, receive bounty, and desert
This he did eight or ten times On the
trial of the assassins Of President Lin
coin in 1865, he volunteered as a witness
in behalf of the Government to in
volve JEFF. Davis, Jake Thompson
and George Sanders. In order to
sustain bis own testimony, he subpeuasd
several Witnesses, men who never had
the slightest knowledge of the case, who
swore to just what he instructed them to.
His evidence before the Congressional
Investigating Committee, which is uu-
necessary to repeat, proved to be a
tissue OF falsehOods from beginning to |
end, and he was therefore indicted, tried |
and convicted Of wilful and deliberate |
peuury.-Albany Erpress.
