nomination of Abraham Lincoln for the
presidency, republicans were known by a
splinter of a fence rail worn on the hat or
in the button hole of the coat, emblemati-
cal of the early life of their candidate.
During the war butternur she'll, or an
old fashioned copper coin worn upon the
person was the sure sign that the wearer
was pestiferous copperhead nd-traitor,
for whose arrest, Imprisonment and death
all loyal men most ievoutly prayed. Mem
bers of the Z" grand army of the republic, y
I" union leaguers," &c, all have their bad
ges. AS the presidential campaign of 1868
is soon to open, and promises to be the
hottest ever known 10 this country, and as
the republican party has already designa-
ted Gen. Z. S. Grant as their candidate,
there are several styles Of badges that sug-
gest themselves to the artistic mind as
highly appropriate and mathematical, any
one of which would clearly distinguish the
truly loyal and pious nigger-worshipcr
from any wicked copperbead and traitor.
We would suggest portrait of the Gener-
al as he appeared when singing Jim Crow
on Sunday, in the streets of Washington
1t would illustrate his iovial disposition
and insure him the support Of good tenn
plars. Ifsuch portrait is thought to be
too expensive for general use, then We
would suggest a pin to be worn upon the
breast representing miniature g soup tur-
reen." Or as a token of the General
humble origin, some badge might be worn
Wiz: very good effect, such as calf's
tail the hat, ala Kossuth, or strip Of
green cow-hide fastened in the button
hole; while all great gatherings Of the 10y
al should be helS in or as near tan yard
as possible. The last mentioned badges
have the advantage of cheapness and will
doubtless come into general use during
the campaign.

THE radicals nominated Jonathan n.
Freese for trustee of Center township, in
the hope of catching portion of the
German vote. This is but another evil
deuce of the desperate strait in which
they are placed as Mr.. Freese was proba-
bly, never nearer Germany than the state
of Ohio, and does not associate with Ger
mans, religiously or otherwise. Why it is
that anybody other than an intensely-loy-
al-died-in- the-wool.radic should vote for
Mr.. Freese, we are unable to see. If raa-
sons other than those of political nature
are to guide the voters of Center town
ship in the election of trustee, they are
certainly in favor of Mr.. Edwards, the
present incumbent. He is an old citizen,
has been for many years identified with
the interests Of the people of this county;
has been. prompt, efficient and faithful
officer; and we see no reason why any vote
should be given to his opponent in prefer
ence to him. We hope to see his MAORI
~ increased over last year.

BADGES AND EnBLEMS.

From the earliest sges of antiquity il
has been the custom not only of nations,
bat of all organized bodies of men, to
adopt some peculiar sign or badge by
which they should be distinguished from
The rest OF mankind. Thus in the earlier
ages the Moham redan was known by the
crescent, the christian by the cross, aid
che mason BIZ the square and compass.
In the days of Cromwell the English were
divided in Two parties, known as cavaliers
and round heads; the latter being known
by the manner. Of cutting their hair. In
modern times this ancient custom of bad

,ozs more universal, Upon the first

CHICAGO CORRESPONDENCE.

CHICAGO, March SOth, 1868.
The democrats of Cook county held
their county convention on Saturday after
noon last, and in addition to their regular
work of appointing delegates to the state
convention shortly to be held at Spring
field, adopted resolutions heartily endors-
ing Geo. IL. Pendleton, and advocating his
nomination as the democratic candidate
for the presidency. They also took little
I" flier at proclamation of the claims Of
adopted citizens, travelling abroad, to be
recognized and protected as American cit
izens,-a good point as a party endorse
ment of a recent mass meeting held here
on this subject. But in the matter of
backing up their man for the presidency,
they are way behind the Grant men. The
republicans have not yet had their county
convention, and SO have not endorsed
Grant as a party,-indeed it is a little
doubtful whether they would so far COM
NIT themselves just yet,-but the way
they are. workingis the getting up of
Grant clubs, in every ward in the city
holding Grant ward-meetings, making
Grant speeches, and adopting stacks of
Grant resolutions, is quite enlivening for a
lazy man to look at. It's evidently the

cording to the Union d; Herald, score. or
more of LaporteaDs had a deal of fun
with DR.. S. b. Collins, well-known spir-

earthly rope that the spirits could not
liberate him in from one to three minutes.
Procuring a MANILA clothes line, lis feet
long, "bran new" commencing in the mid
die, and separating the strands, they so ef-
fectually tied the DR.. that the spirits could
not, in % minutes, do anything for him.
The trial ended by the boys cutting the
rope off from the DR.. s swelled limbs.
