Radical Senatorial Nomination.


ll5The Radicals of the Senatorial dis
frict composed ofthe counties of Sum
NIT and Portage, held their conven-
ton in this place ON the 26th ult., and
nominated Brew. Brig. Gen. WILLIAM
STEDMAN as their candidate to fill the
vacancy in the Senate occasioned by
the resignation of Hon. P. B.. CoNANT,
who has been nominated for the Com
mon Pleas Judgeship created by the
Legislature for the second snb-divis-
ion of the 9th Judicial district. Per-
sonally the General is very clever
fellow, capable withal, but, unfortu-
nately afflicted with despicable kind
of politics. We hope he has so far
recovered from his qualms of con-
science as to be able to " conscientious
ly observe an oath to support the Con-
stitution of the United States" 9a II

Pennsylyania VIII not Forget.

John W. Forney, editor of the Phila-
delphia Press, thus spoke of Governor
SEYMOUR in June, 1858: ..,
+ Honor to New York! Her Govern
or has acted like man who knows
when the time for partisanship is at an
end. Her gallant Seventh is now! at
Harrisburgh, and side by side with our
brave Pennsylvanians, preparing tore
sist the invaders. This is the true
spirit of brotherly love. Pennsylva-
mia, will not forget Gov. Seymour
i Pennsylvania will not forget Mr..
Seymour and will roll up a majority
of 1000 for him in November next.

Grant.Ia.kson and Clar.

1t is certainly not very respectful to
the memory of jackson and Clay to
associate their names and memories
with the name of Grant, but, by way
of contrast, the apparent disrespect
will, no doubt, be excused.
In his letter accepting the Radical
nomination for President, Grant says:
"I shall have no policy of my own
to interfere against the people" .fu +.

difference between this man and the
immortal jackson, who was a states
man as well as soldier, read: f-lll :.

Henry Clay was not like Jackson,
a warrior, but he was, like jackson,
great statesman. Do you suppose
Henry Claywould vote for Grant, if he
were alive to-day? If SO, undeceive
yourselves by reading the following:
