he went TO another, and another, determined
not to stop at any house where the disease
was doing its work of death.
At last, after q long and weary search,
he found one where there was no cholera,
and he took up his quarters there. The
master of the house was a cody man, and
had q rule to have family worship. While
he was offering prayer, he groaned with
some force and fervor, when the Dutchman
started up and cried out fF
"Not ish ter matter ~ -E asa-.s <

The hours that have passed since the
adjournment OF the Convention on Sat

Chase-a fact so well understood by the
friends Of Pendleton, that it was deemed
necessary to strengthen the Ohio delega-

Policy as well as principle will guide

choice OF standsrd-bearers to lead the
party to victory.

Permanent Organization was read, and
the name Of Horatio Seymour announced
as permanent President OF the Conven-
