Le,Hane., Men Renee,

These are times that should cause
honest, patriotic men of either party to
reflect. Whom have the Republicans
set up as their standard-bearer A
mere automaton-a man that declares
he has no political principles-that he
shall be governed by circumstances
Fer this purpose was he selected, that
he might follow the fuglemen Of the
Radicals and do their bidding. A man
withou patriotic principle-without
statesmanship - without talent and
without any record as to intelligence
or capacity, save that of smoking and
drinking. Will any candid, conscien-
tious man vote for such a candidate for
the Chief Executive of great nation 7
The history for the last eight years
bear sufficient testimony to the unfit
ness of the party in power to govern a
nation of freemen.

The Radical papers which expressed
such eminent satisfaction at the noml
nation of SEYMOUR and BLAIR are be-

DutY Of the Conservatives.

Ii is useless to murmnr or show any
apathy because the candidate of our
choice was not nominated. All minds
cannot be satisfied with nominations
of this nature. We are great nation.
Concessions must be made to suit the
condition of all portions of it as near as
can be. The whole country must he
consulted and suited, if possible. No
good Democrat or Conservative can
falter now. Our stand-bearer is with
out superior in point of intellect and
craftsmanship. He stands to the can
didate of the Radicals as a Hyperion
to Satyr. Though he may not COM
mand as much enthusiasm in the West
as PENDLETON would have done, yet
his strength in the North and East is
much greater. Let US do our duty and
victory will as surely perch upon our
banners as the ides of November will
come. Principles is ever the watch
word of Democracy These are inter-
woven ia the very nature of our candi-
date-they encircle his brow, and with
them and him we can aud will march
onward to glorious triumph.

One Term Paiic,.

The Washington Chronicle calls Wig
orously upon Congress net to adjourn
without passing the one term amend
ment to the Constitution. Itsays there
has never been SO favora3 ban opportu-
nifty, as all parties are ii favor of it.,
the present Executive has no induce
msnt to oppose it, and General Grant is
for it. We are not much in favor of
tampering with the Constitution, but
this is an amendment which would be
an Improvement, Experience has
shown that where the President Is re-
eligible there is too much temptation to
plots and intrigues for a second term.

ened by the practical workings of reel
igibility under the presentsystem, lin.
tied the Presidency to one term which
was. however, of six years.

New Dodge.

The Republican press have great fears
that SEYMOUR might become insane, in
which case BLAIR would become Presi-
dent. They are working very hard to
convince the public that such might be
the case. Such lodges show the con-
sternation that is upon them for fear of
SEYMoUR's success. Even the New York
Times, o rather conservative Republican
journal, has become infected with this
insane idea. 1t says:
Does the Erening Post consider itself
iastified in treating as it does of Gev.
Seymour's hereditary tendency to in.
sanityi The subject is far too serious
for sportive treatment. The facts are
within the knowledge OF the Post, or
may be by little inquiry. Unques-
tionably, there is o very great danger,
in case of the possible election OF MT
Seymour, that the Vice President Blair
would be called on to serve in the hrst
office for the greater part Of the term
Who that knows Blair's nature, or has
read his revolutionary letter, but would
be alarmed for the country in such q
contingencyi We have already had q
number of terrible warnings not to elect

THE New REvoLUTIoNARY Me-

THE NEW REVOLUTIONARY MEASURE.
The bill which has passed both
Houses Of Congress providing that the
electoral vote of the Southern States
not entitled 10 representation in Congress
shall not be counted in the electoral
college is the topic of general discus
sion among politicians. 1t was passed
by q strict party vote through each
House, and the purpose of it. as before
stated in this correspondence, is clear.
If, for instance, the State of Georgia
should cast her electoral vote for Sey-
mour, before this vote can be counted
it must be determined by Congress that
Georgia is entitled to q representation
in Congress. Just as certain as her
vote is cast for the Democratic ticket
lust so certain will the Jaeobins deter
mine that she is not entitled to repre-.
sentation. If Virginia should cast her
electoral vote for Grant, Virginia will
be declared entitled to representation.
In other words, the precise condition of
things is produced which Senator Trum-
bull so earnestly warned his party
against as likely "to produce another
civil war;" 1t should be remembered
that this is the legislation of the party
which would persuade the people that
it is for peace. The gravest apprehen-
sions are felt and expressed here by
leading men of both parties as to the
possible consequences of this usurpation
on the part of Congress.-E. in Bdti-
more Gazette.

The Radical Howl.

The hue-and cry of the Radical press
about the nominees of the New lork
Convention reminds us of the strata
gem of the thief, who, when pursued,
runs and shouts "stop thief" forthe pur'
pose of putting the populace on the
wrong track. So with the Radical
sheets who fear a scrutiny of GRANTS
antecedents-his military fame, and his
capacity as statesman. Hence they
set up their howl about SEYMOUR and
BLAIR, hoping that this incessant blus-
ter may divert the attention of the peo-
pie from examining into the merits of
their mum candidate.

When the tumult had somewhat sub
sided, the Temporary Chairman intro
duced Mr.. Pendleton to the crowd in Q
brief and appropriate speech. Lii q.
Some time elapsed before silence was
sufficiently restored to permit Mr.. Pen
dleton's voice to be heard. The cheer
ing was tremendous and long contin-
ned AT length he proceeded, frequent
ly interrupted by cheers, and delivered
one of those masterly and eloquent
speeches for, which he is SO justly
famed.
The speech will be reported in full
and published in few days, SO that 1t
is not necessary to send any synopsis
now. He eulogized in eloquent and
stirring terms the platform adopted and
the candidates nominated by the Ma
tisnal Convention at New York. To
both he pledged his hearty support,
and, amid the widest cheering, de-
clared that no personal considerations
or private regrets could abate his zeal
for the party or slscken his labors in
it's behalf He spoke about one heur
and three quarters, and at the cohclp-
sion of his speech the Convention took
q recess until half-past two o'clock.
The intervening hour was occupied
by the committees in preparing their
reports; and by the county delegations
in discussing the merits of candidates.
The nominations will be made this af-
ternoon, after a speech from Senator
Thurman, and the Convention will con-
clude its labors tonight.
Thus far every thing is harmonious
and pleasant. The attendance is won
derful. 1t is a matter of universal COM
ment and all agree that it is the largest
and most imposing political gathering
ever held in West Virginia. Success to
the noble cause which has called them
together and for which all are unitedly
laborng, is certain.

Before adjournment, a resolution vas
offered by Colonel Wilson and adopted
by the Convention denouncing the re-
cent attempt to impeach the President

Senators who defeated the project.

Committee were also passed, and the
Convention adjourned az about half.

The Convention has been an eminent
and entire success. 1t has far exceeded
in every commendable trait any con-
vention of any party ever before held
in this State. The ticket nominatedis
an exceedingly strong one in every par
ticular and gives entire satisfac tien to
the party as represented here.
1t deserves to succeed. and if the spirit
manifested to-day by the assembled
masses affords any indication of the
manner in which the campaign is to be
conducted, the entire ticket will be
voted in by majority of not less than
