TILE UAMPAIGN OPENETp.

On tho 9Th day Of January, a day
sacred in the hearts of patriotic Ameri-
cans as the anniversary Of the victory
won at New Orleans BY Andrew Jack
son over foreign foe, which decided
the second war for National Indepen-
dence, the political campaign of 1868
was opened by the Demc cracy of the
Union, under such auspices as leave but
little doubt Of the result. From the
banquet Of the great lights of the party
at Washington, extending to the Gran
ito Hills of New Hampshire, reverbera-
ting among the Allegheny peaks of
West Virginia, and answered by the
frecmen shout sent up by Ohio. Indiana
and the States of the mighty West, it
is plain that the 9Th of January, 1868,
is to be doubly memorable. 1t is the
day when was begun that political bat
tie which is only to end when the ma
tion's independence from the midnight
of partizan despotism that has en-.
thralled the American people has been
achieved at the ballot-box next Fall.
Andrew johnson, the man who has
stood in the breach and fought back the
tide of fanaticism almost uuaided-who
has been the target at which was aimed
the maledictions ofthe euemies Of the
liberties of the people--should be our
standard bearer in the strife, and with
George III Pendleton, Of Ohio, as can.
didate for III, Vice Presidency, we will
move onward conquering and to con.
qucr. Such ticket, bearing the names
of our greatest living statesmen, would
be tower of strength against which
the fierce onslaughts of Radicalism
would spend their fury in vain.
