Cheering reports OF the success of
the order were given by the dele.
gates, from the several localities Pep.
resented. During the session the ut.
most harmony OF sentiment seemed
to prevail and an earnest resolve
to carry out in life the practise of to-
tai abstinence, and to spread the
principles OF Good Femplarism, was
manifested by every one present.
The lecture in the evening of the
10th, was attended by large and at
tentive audience.
Many of the subjects discussed,
and resolutions adopted were of prac
teal Importance TO the order, and
will be recommended TO the various
lodges in the county for their adop-
ton, in circular issued for that pur-
pose. At the conclusion of the SEES
sion, the committee on resolutie ms
reported the following which was
unanimously adopted.
That our warmost thanks are
due and are hereby rendered TO the
people, OF Lancaster, and TO Lam
caster Lodge No. 292, for the cordial
and hospitable manner in which they
have entertained the members of
this convention"
On ballot Bloomington was chosen
as the place in which to hold the
next session, and on motion the cons
vention adjourned to meet at Bloom
ington on the third week OF Septem-
Der 1868. H. H. STEWART

We are Satisfied as it is.

There are not few, even among
Republicans, who believe, or profess
to, at least, that the Chicago Cor
vention should Lave made some dec
laration concerning the tariff. We
think differently. Neither free trade
Or high protective tariff, have ever
been leading measures in the Repub.-
lican party, and they should not be
at this time, for it is a matter which
no party can come to full under
standing upon. The Democratic
party hitherto had the happy faculty
of being free trade in the South,
and protective tariffin the North, es
pecially in Pennsylvania and other
mining regions. But that game is
played out. The Republican party
has wisely, in our opinion, left that
matter for Congress to regulate in
some manner which will be for the
best good of the whole country
The peoples representatives in Con-
gress can come to better under
standing upon this matter, than
the people themselves can, scattered
all over the United States, in polit-
cal scramble Racine Journal.

A Letter from Gen. Grant.

Hon. Isaac n Morris, an old ani
prominent Democrat OF Quincy.
ILL.,, who has repeatedly been honor
ed by bis party by being placed in
high official position, having several
times represented his district in Con
gress, made speech in Quincy re-
Gently, in which he declared that the
highest welfare of the country de
mands the election of Gen. Grant to
the Presidency. His speech was
carefully prepared, and an able one.
Col. Morris read TO the audience the
following letter from Gen. Grant,
written in 1864, in reply to query
from himself whether Grant would
accept the Presidential nomination
or not
