The nominations Of candidates
for State officers at the State Con
vention, and the Platform adopted
at the same time, seems to meet
with universal appreciation from the
Union men throughout the State,
and the campaign commences with
out any weights or entangling ques-
lions Of difference in regard to the
glorious march on to victory Let
the true Union men be prompt and
energetic in the work before them,
and a Republican triumph will
crown their Efforts in October and
November next, The cause is Ger

every voter who desires to preserve
the Government from the power of

We notice that our brethren
Of the Union press who attended
the State Convention on the 4th
inst speak of the remarkably good
order that was observed in the Con
vention, and deserved credit is Civ
en- the presiding officer, Lieut. Gov
j. G. Lee, for his remarkable skill
in presiding over such a large and
enthusiastic audience, and his abili.
ty to command their attention at all
times, 1t was in marked contrast
with the disorder at the Democratic
State Convention. While Govern
or Lee is as fine a presiding officer
as we ever saw, It must be remem-
