Immediately on Ohio's choice being
made kno by the action of the Conven-
tiou, CO mmittee was appointed to wait
on Mr.. PFNsIEroS, who had Just arrived
in the city. and to invite him to appear be-
fore the Convention. When his form was
recognized in making his way through
the denae. masses that filled the Athe-
neum,. the. wild applause of the
excited Democracy again broke forth, and
was SO long continued that when Mr..
JEwKrr, as Chairman of the Convention,
attempted to introduce Mr.. PENpLEToN to
the crowd, he could scarce be heard. At
length partial silence was restored, Mr..
JEwErr. with that grace of manner and Of
speech SO peculiar to himself, in fitting
terms introduced Mr.. PENDLEroN. Again
and again and again the cheering broke
forth.
Mr.. PENDLEroN at last was heard. In a
speech, remarkable, as all his speeches are,
for their singular felicity, he thanked the
Delegates for the honor conferred. HIS
remarks viii be found in another col

Thus Ohio stands to-day with one of her
noblest and best sons in the field for the
first honors Of the Republic. She asks that
his nomination. be ratified, because his
election will rebound to the credit, the
honor, and the interest of the Republic,
and save the Union from being discovered
by the mad schemes of the Radical leaders.

what Is .rkoasht OF the Removal
ofGen. Pope by . Radical.
The removal of Gen.. Pope causes no re-

(oficisl organl edited by . Massachusetts,
man, remarks as follows: - :
We gave to General Pope, as we intend
at all times to extend to every representa-
tive of the government for whose unity we
have foaghe, our unqualified support Just
as long as we conscientiou5y believe them
to beiaboring for the administration of JUS
tice to all men, regardless of their past po-
tical ideas or of the color of their skin.
We have, however refused to allow Gener-
al Pope, or any other official, civil or mill
tary, to be the sole guardians of our con-
science; nor would we consent that other
people should have their honest thoughts
IMPRISONED Ia their souls by q reign OF mil
itary awe, or, what was worse, such a sat
uirnaifa of political prescription as has been
INDUCED in, striking terror and despond-
ency 70 the hearts of decent men every
where. W e are therefore, glad that Gene
raj Pope no longer holds the reins of mili-
tary power, and from the noble character
that General Meade is said to possess in So
cial life, as well as the glorious record of
genuine gallantry which he made on many
