Our Doolittle."

Mr. Doolittle has been spoken of lnso
directions as the Democratic nominee for
the Presidency but Vallandigham and
his wing of the great democratic army OBJ
iect to Doolittle on account of paucity OF
brains. The Wisconsin Senator would ev
identity have no moral convictions to olive
up" and stand in the way Of any purposes
the leaders may have, or desire to accom-
plish.
1t can hardly be regarded as less than
an insult to the intelligence of the country
for a body of men to meet together for the
purpose of making nomination for Pres
ident of the United States, whose aim and
purpose has been for the last six years and
more, to disrupt and destroy that Govern
ment What aptitude for the office, what
affection for our republican form Of Gov
eminent has any of those democratic lead
ers shown.
The history OF. our government for six
or seven years has been an instructive
lesson to the world. Democracy has been
weighed in the balance and found want
ing, and whatever there may be left of the
homogeneous elements, assets &c, Of the
late party of that name it is true its eulogy
was pronounced and its funeral services
were over The lessons Of the hour are
that the Government for the future is to
be committed to honester and ADLER
hands.
At one age of the world Nero might sit
complacently and fiddle at the contlagra-
ton of Rome, but the Nero of to-day--the
Neros of this government cannot expect
to fiddle over the misfortunes of this coun
try and ask afterwards to be restored tC
power. 1t may perhaps be an unpardon-
able offence to ask those who profess the
democratic doctrine to wash their hand,
of the blood of our Union soldiers before
claiming restoration to the confidence OF
mankind and to the offices of this GOV
eminent.
"Reminiscences of the past, where they
are connected with important events, are
not easily effaced and the record which
the democratic party has made during the
last seven or eight years will be as endu
ring as history. When our late war was
in progress, and the solid earth fairly
trembled beneath the tread of the con
tending forces, one portion arrayed fol
the destruction and the other for The
preservation of civil liberty, there wa
to use no stronger expression, compla
cency of feeling among our democratic
leaders, whenever our Union army me
with temporary defeat The mother O.
the Union soldier who lay weltering il
his blood might be bowed with sorrow tc
the ground, but our democratic leaders
showed fOrtitude under these adverse
circumstances and buoyancy of feeling
that was truly refreshing to behold.
1t was the remark of Barnum the great
Snowman, that the best sign saloon keeper
could have would be to stand drunkard
by the side of his door and to reverse
the picture we know of no argument more
impressive against democracy than the
manned and wounded soldier which are
everywhere to be seen.

Chase and the Democracy.

One of the reasons urged by the Demo
Gratis, friendly to the nomination of Chase
for the Presidency is, that his long time
abolition record, would take the
wind out of the sails of anti-slavery
Republicans. This is polite idea, and
not without some force. 1t has been sug-
gested that it would be astill better stroke
of policy for the Democratic party to take
a stride far ahead Of the Republican stand
point, leaving the latter entirely in the
rear. This they might accomplish by tax
ing Fred Douglass for President and Chase
for Vice President. In the matter of abol-
ition ideas, Chase and Douglass probably
do not differ. Chief Justice Chase, to day,
is President of the American Freedmens'
Union Commission, of which Society,"
William Lloyd Garrison is Vice President
The object Of the Society being to sustain
missionaries in the south, among the col
ored people, and to exercise the ballot in
telligently. This is all proper enough
and since the Democratic party seem dis
posed to turn over a new leaf in pursuit of
success why not make clear breast of it,
and put the highly gifted and eloquent
Douglass on their Presidential tick

Conservative Soldiers, and Sailors, Oonven-
zion,

Quite long list of persons styling
themselves Soldiers and Sailors assuming
to be National Exeucutive Committee,
have called Convention to meet in New
York on the same day of the National
Democratic Convention. The call for the
Convention is an imposture it purports
to be signed by brilliant array of Gen
erals and Colonels The Washington
CtTo@tcIe has been at the pains to examine
the official records of the army register
at Washington, and the result of the in
vestigation reveals the fact that the titles
OF a large number of the signers are
fictitious some of the Generals arc not
found on the record at all the same is
true OF many of those styled Colonies.
As the Chronicle gives the names of each
OF these falsely titled officers in detail
whose names appear appended to the call,
accompanied with such information as the
army register affords, where there happens
TO be any clue to their military standing,
the bare-faced imposition of the affair is
apparent From a careful revision of tbe
list of Generals, whose names appear at
tached to the call, it is found that only
tour are entitled to that military designa-
ton, the balance are fictitious.
Here then is call for a National Sol
dlers and Sailors Convention, styled ocon-
sentative" many of the signers of which.

ANOTHER VETo.-Johnson after several
weeks quset, and an apparent torpid state
mas again walked up, and vetoed the bill
passed by Congress for the admission Of
Arkansas. Andrew Johnson and the Dem.
ocratlc party generally, have been railing
at Congress for months past for keeping
the southern States out of the Union. Now
when Congress is ready to admit them, on
a basis calculated to insure to them good
government johnson and his friends do
not want the Southern States to come back
into the Union. What rare consistency
The bill has been passed by both Houses
over the veto, and has become law.

For several months past some parties

For several months past some parties
in Chicago have been engaged in CON
structing a model life boat, which was to
have been sailed from that city to Liver
pool. She was called the Little Western"
and it was expected she would be able to
cross the Atlantic with the utmost safety.
On Sunday the Little Western went out
from Chicago on a trial trip which proved

ance" before the public. Shortly after
leaving the port of Chicago she was cap
sized and Capt Garrett one Of her owners,
and Mr. Chisholm reporter Of the Chicago
Times were drowned. There was other
persons on board who by some fortunate
circumstances were saved.

largely attended-the estimate of those in at
tendance being 8, 000-the assemblage contain
ing nearly all the old residents of Lake and
the adjoining counties, with very large rep
resentation from the two younger genera

At 10 o'clock the procession was formed at
the village of Libertyville, and headed by
Daniel Wright, of the town of Vernon. who
built the first house in the county in 1884
marched to the fair grounds TO the music OF
the LibertyVille Light Guard band. The pro-
ceedings there were presided over by John A
Regain, settler of 1886, the oldest justice Of
the peace in the county. After an invocation
| by the chaplain, the orator of the day, Mr. E.
M. Haines, of Waukegan was introduced, and
delivered an address over an hour in length
| 1t abounded in pleasant incidents and remi
niscences of the early history of that region
and was listened to with great interest. At
ter recess of an hour for refreshments and
social interchanges, th9 assemblage again
came to order, when about two hours were
occupied with volunteer speeches, in which a
large number participated.
The festivities were kept up until late
hour in the afternoon, when the crowd reluc-
