The South is crushed and despoiled, and you

The Great Question.

We give up to-day as much Of our space as
possible to the absorbing topic Of the day, the
nomination Of candidates for the Presidency
audVics-Fresideucy Of The United States whom
Democrats and Conservatives can heartily sup
port. The grcatobiectS to secure the Govern
nent from the Cloths and Vandals who for
more than three years have been outraging
every principle Of free government.
The Amnesty Proclamation Of President
johnson is a ft prelude tothe work commenced
on Independence Day. It rehearses with adj
mirable brevity and force the declaration Of the
two Houses Of Congress in July 1861, when
the power Of the nation was invoked to sustain
the Union. and maintain TIE Supremacy OF the
Constitution Of the United States, with all the
rights Of the Stayes uuimPaired.
II nss,s no new recital to impress upon the
minds Of the people at large the history Of the
aagrant violation Of the solemn pledges Of
1851. and the many outrages since Perpetrated
in the name Of liberty.

The Platform, upon which all friends Of the
Constitution are to rally, presents the true

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS CON
VENTION.

The Convention of Soldiers and Sailors
which met in New York on the 4th is said to
have been the grapdest success ever witnessed.
Three thousand delegates preseut-soidiers and
sailors of repute from every State aud Terrific
~. Mai Gen. John A. McClernand was cho-
sen Temporary Chairman.
Gen. Ewing of Ohio delivered one of the
most eloquent and effective speeches ever de-
livered in any convention. During its delive-
ry the name of Gen. Hancock was incidentally
mentioned, and elected the most vociferous
manifestations of approbation-the whole con-
venton rising and cheering with the widest
enthusiasm.
The committee on permanent organization
reported in favor of Mai. Gen. W B. franklin
as Chairman lie was introduced in hand
some manner by Gen. McClernand.
A resolution was adopted requesting Ser
geant Bates to wave in the Convention the
same flag that he had been denied permission
tounfur from the dome of the National Capitol.
The Convention adjourned to Monday.

Horrible Scene at an Execution in
North Carolina.

At Salisbury, N. c., Friday week, man
namad Rufus Ludwick, convicted at the fall
term of the Rowan Superior court for the MUIR
der of his wife, paid the extreme penalty of the
law. The Old North State says of his conduct
on the scaffold:
Upon the very threshold Of eternity, in the
midst of solemn, fervent and eloquent prayer
offered up in his behalf by Mr.. Rumple, which
moved large part of the vastaudience to tears,
he cooly turned around to a bystander and
asked him for a chew of tobacco. Afterwards,
while hymn was being sung for his editiea-
ton, he endeavored to engage in very tEyial
conversation with those who were near him.
At length the Sheriff intimated to the culprit
that the time had come. At this notification
he made an effort to jump from the scaffold
and escape. This was prevented by thesheriff's
officers who surrounded him, but he had to be
hanged by main force. 1t required some half
dozen persons to hold him while he was pin
toned and the rope adjusted about his neck
Then he refused to stand up, and he was in a
half lying and half sitting posture when the
fatal drop fell and launched his soul into eter-
nitv. He denied his guilt to the last.

stitution, and to preserve the Union with all
the dignity, equality and rights Of the several
States unimpaired. The subjugation Of these
States, or holding them as conquered territory,
would be, in the Judgment of this Convention,
the destruction of the Union itself
Resolred, That the highest need of patriot
ism is due and should ever be extended 10 al
those who in the recent war periled life or for
tune for the maintenance of the Union and the
beneficent system of American government
thereby established upon the fundamental
principles set forth In the foregoing resolutions
but we have neither thanks nor sympathy for
those who entered and carried on the contest
for the subjugatinn Of States and for the sub
lection by federal authority of the white race
in any of the States to the domination Of the
black; the right Of suffrage, or who shall ex-
ercise political power, is matter that rests I'M
der the constitution exclusively with the sew
eral States; there tproperly belongs, and there
it should continue ever to remain.

SPEECH OF GENERAL EWING.
Mr.. Ewing said If it were appropriate for
me, it would be impossible, for lack OF voice.
to express TO this convention the thankiulness
which and the members of the convention
and of the committed feel for the cordial and
enthusiastic manner of this reception. We
feel that the members of the two conventions,
however widely separated their paths may
have been in the past, will march henceforth
in one line. GApplause.] We earnestly wish
to accomplish the purposes Of the war as we
understand them: LAppause.] The truly
cordial, unconditional restoration of this Union.
GApplauSe. We have no sympathy for those
purposes that have been falsely and dishonesty
substituted by the republican party for the
avowed objects Of the war. Applause we
care not for the dogmaS Of negro suffrage we
abhor their measure Of white dlsfranchlsement.
CApplause. We look upon them as enemies
of the republic. when we see them endeavorlng
by means of that power which a great con-
6ding people entrusted TO them TO undermine
and overthrow the settled foundation OF our
government [Applause.] We cannot we
shall not, associate with them. Longer ap-
plause. We earnestly wish to associate with
the great body of the democracy, North and
South CApplausel With thousandsagainst
whom we fought during the war. Applause.
With thousands who felt perhaps coldy in the
North towards the Union cause while the war
went on, with all of those who now cordially
accept as the established theory Of the consti-
tuition, that the Union is unseverable, and who
will stand by and defend the constitution as
interpreted by the government and the Su-
preme Courtof the United States. Applause. ]
Since our meeting here we have had the plea
sure of friendly intercourse with many of the
most prominent of the generals of the Conied-
crate army-[applausel knowing them to be
men of honor, comparing views with them
and feeling that their views and our views as
to the present, and the future policy of this GO
vernment coincide, we viii take them by the
hand as brothers. CAppause.] Forgetting
the past issues and passions, we will recognize
political enemies only in those who are plot
ting to overthrow the union Of the States and
our constitutional form Of government, and we
will recognize political friends in all of those
who will sustain us in endeavoring to over
throw that party CApplause.] THANK you
gentlemen of the convention, for the very I'M
expected honor of being called upon to address
you, and beg you will excuse this extempore
effort. CCries of Go on. Three cheers
were then given for General Ewing and the
Soldiers and Sailors Convention.

A Commercial View of the Crops.

The Cincinnati Price Current, Of the lst in
slant, thus speaks of the wheat harvest and
other crops:
Wheat has been harvested, pretty generally,
in all the States south of the Ohio river, and
also in the southern portion of Illinois. The
yield is not very heavy, but the quality is
pretty generally highly spoken Of Inportions
of Indiana the weevil has been doing consider
able damage but this does not extend over q
large district The accounts from the entire
Union, with an exception here and there, as
regards the crops are generally favorable more
generally so than has been the case for many
years. The indications Of an abundant corn
crop are quite favorable, and should this be
the case, a large increase in the pork crop may
be looked for the coming season, because the
supply of stock hogs will be unusually large /;
for not only was the supply left over from last
season large, farmers not having fatted them
because of the high price of corn and the COM
parative low price of pork, but the increase
since then has been liberal, so that the number
now in the Western States, it will be seen,
must be unusually large.

Lafayette G. Baker.

This celebrated chief of the government de-
tective force during the war, who died in PhiIa-
delpha last week, was a native Of New York,
and born in the year 1926. His earlier years
were spent on a farm in the west, but becoming
tired of agricultural pursuits he removed to
Philadelphia where he worked as mechanic
In 1851 he went to California and became con-
spicuous by his connection with the Viglence
Committee of San Francisco. After diversi-
fed career of over ten years the fortunes Of
war made him chief of the government detec-
tive force during the rebellion Charity for
his memory makes it preferable to say as little
as possible of the course he pursued during
that period. That he was a willing tool of
Mr. Stanton there appears to be nodoubt. His
arrests of citizens who were innocent Of offence;
his spy system on President johnson, and his
general conduct eventually caused his dismiss
sion from the service Since then he has resi-
ded in Philadelphia, in which city hei report
ed to have possessed considerable property ~.
