aspirants within the ranks of his own

party. Both friends and enemies be.
stow praises upon him; for "nont
name him but to praise" Of exalted
intellectual attachments, large expert
ence in public matters, and spotless
integrity of character, he is just the
man to give responsibility to an Office
which OF late years has fallen into con-
tempt in the eyes Of foreign nations
He comes from an excellent stock. He
is descended from o member of the old
Virginia family of Pendletons ian un-
Gle, we believe of Judge Edmund PEN
dleton) who emigrated to New York
many years ago. His father was once
prominent member of Congress from
Ohio, as he was himself many years
afterwards. His wife is a daughter of
Francis S. Key, author of the "Star
Spangled Banner" which should be a
special recommendation with spread
eagle "loyalists," and admirers of the
told flag" His conservatism during
the late war was we'll known and, for
this reason, he was placed ON the same
ticket with Gen, Mcclellan as the Dem
ocratic candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency. 1t is true, he is not a military
man, but, as between any distinguished
civilian and military man we believe
the former would surely win in the
present temper Of the American people.
But if military prowess is needed to
offset Grants reputation, Gen. Hancock
can be placed as second On the ticket
a man Of more ability than Grant and
one who has done as much hard fight
ing as Grant or any other man in the
Federal army. A man, too, who,
clothed with almost absolute authority,
has the honor Of being the first Federal
officer to proclaim the subordination of
to civil authority.
Before many months the different
parties will be in the field with their
1t will be the most inn
portant and the most fercely contested
known within the history of
The government. 1t may even culmi-
mate in another civil war. The Dem
'cracy will have to fight against heavy
odds, for the Southern States will be
'ronghtinto the Union, so trammelled
hat their votes will probably be cast
n body for the Radical candidate
still we believe that the Democratic
icket will be successful. We believe
bat the American people are getting
heartily sick of Radicalism, and are
low ready to repudiate it and all it's
eaders. The Democratic party was
vanished from power because the peo-
lie we're made to believe that its prin-
iples were detrimental to the interests
f the government. Aftersix years ex-
of another party they would
lady recall it to repair the damages I
Is opponents have inflicted on the !
ountry. k

" We regret to learn that Alexan.
der Barrow, Esq, died recently at his
residence in West Baton Rouge. Mr.
Barrow was the eldest son of the late
Hon. Alexander Barrow, U. s. Senator
from Louisiana, and was in the 18th
year of his age. He was educated at
Harvard University. In 1852, having
just attained hismaiority, he was elect
ed to the House ofRepresentatives from
West Baton Rouge, and in 1859 to the
State Senate. He was member of
the Senate during the whole Confede-
rate regime. He was short timein the
military service ofthe Confederacy and
was in the battle of Baton Rouge.
Mr.. Barrow was gentleman of con-
siderable ability, and was possessed of
many noble traits of character. His
death will be much regretted by a large
circle of intimate personal friends.

Christmas.

Christmas iy here-the happy, thu
merry Christmas-the greatest ant
most welcome of all the days in thu
holiday calendar. 1t commenced will
an era of "peace on earth and goot
will to men," which was sung by an.
gels, and it continues to be the dispen-
ser of kindliness and benifcience. Oh,
how many u christian thought, how
many grateful remembrance is awak-
ened by its annual return! But pious
thoughts on this day are not the barren
outpourings of solitary sanctity they
are associated with good cheer; with
the fairness of the earth, with corn and
wine, and OIL Families are brought
together around the domestic hearth,
and the golden chain of affection isbur-
nished by the contact. The day is also
marked by its fredericksburg in
terchances of gifts and keepsakes, and
membranes, and claiming kind re-
gard, as
g. Affections tribute-friendships
offering,
Whose silent eloquence, more rich than
words,
Speaks of the giver's faith and truth in
absence,
And says, forget me not"
To the young, what happy day lis
Christmas! How anxiously do they
look for it during the slow and tedious
weeks which are its harbinger. st.
Nicholas cheer them with his choices
gifts, now that it has arrived! How
many are the good things of which tits
theirs to partake7 What mountain of
cakes will they not demolishs what
nectarine sweets will they not destroy
and such lots of toys, the likes Of which
are never seen Gin the heavens above,
or in the earth beneath, nor in the wa
ters under the earth, shave been bought
for them and given to them, that such
times among them have not been known
for many a month. Some of the young
fellows enjoy themselves with little
horses and dogs, and wheelbarrows,
and fire crackers; some are decorated
in military apparel, and strut, all SOL
dierly; and some give out premonitory
symptoms of most remarkable musical
capabilities. O, a happy Christmas
wish we to the holiday children, be they
young or old.

Now, any one who knows anything of
the Governor, is aware that he would
neither decline the Presidency nor any
other respectable Office if he stood any
chance of getting it. But Governor
Seymour was foolish enough to open
the New York Convention with
speech in which he upheld Mr.. Chase's
pet theory of the exemption of the
bonds from taxation and the payment
of their interest in gold. He talked
also very glibly Of national faith,"
the "sin of repudiation," and of other
ridiculous things, long since made
"obsolete" by the party which boasts
of carrying on the government OUT
side of the Constitution" Mr.. Sey-
monr, therefore, made virtue Of ne
cessity and declined a nomination from
party which has run too far ahead OF
his old fogy notions ever to confer it
upon him. The man entitled to the
nomination, and, moreover the man
who viii get it, is the man who first
openly proclaimed the true doctrine
and fought it through in q great State
against such opposition as was never
before arrayed against a political party.
That man is George H. PendletoB, of
Ohio.
Immediately after the Ohio election
the friends of Mr.. Pendleton presented
his name for tho Presidency, and his
