The rebel Conservatives have been trying
to prevail upon DR.. Nicholson to run for
Congress in the first District. DR.. Nicholson
declines having any affiliation whatever with
the opposition, and will not allow them to
use his name. DR.. Nicholson is thorough
Republican and he knows that his own
friends will confer that honor upon hin,
which he so richly merits, when he will
consent to leave his professional employ
ments to serve the public.

The Wheat CrOn.

We learn that the Wheat crop in this

breadth of land has been put in. and the
present indications are that the crop will be
fine one.

OF corn. Let cotton and tobacco he the in

want in the first place, plenty of bread and
meat This will make fat horses and cattle.
and bull up the farms. In country like
this, where so much grain and meat can be
raised, there ought to be no suffering among
the people for the necessares of life.

The so-called Conservative meetings in
this County seem to have been very thinly
attended. The people are tired of hearing
war talk and especially are they unwilling
to be.harangued by the old rebel leaders and
war men.

The New York Sun (RadicaD thinks
Grants chances to carry New York Is
simply hopeless. It speaks as follows ;
They may accomplish something by bet
ter organisation aud by skillful election
eering. They are also sure to gain votes
even in this city by the great prestige of
the names upon their ticket, and by
some of the points in their platform.
But on the other hand, they will find
that Liberty and Lager are hard powers
to fight against, and that with HoratioI
Semour for Preident, and John T. Hoff-
nam for Governor, the Democracy will
have in 1868, as they had in 1867, morel
than so, 600 majority in eight counties
alone. These are hard figures to beat i

10 Ohio we polled last year 100000
votes for Judge Thurman, our candidate
for Governor. he was beaten by less
than 5000. on the largest vote ever given
in the State. He was beatea by illegal
negro votes, because the Democrats were
deficient in organization and lacked con-
6dencezin the result. Had they had bet
ter organization, and SO much confidence
as they have Y Ohio would have been
Democratic By 2o755o majority. Ohio is
q Democratic State to-day; the Radical
strength is all confined to the Western
Reserve and TO a few counties in the Mi
ami Valley. Grant has no strength per-
sonaily in this State He is the weakest
candidate they could have run, and in
vokes neither the enthusiasm of the out
siders nor the energy Of the inside par
ty men.
We have not spoken of Missouri, with
her eleven electoral votes. She Is one
of the strongest Democratic States in the
Union, and if her people all voted, would
give Seymour and Blair $4,000 majority
at least. we. have been beaten there for
several years, because the Democrats
have allowed themselves 10 be disfran-
ehised by illegal test oaths 2SSsifz 5;if.fr-s, 5ffr

support Grant win receive il Missouri
will be small indeed. s
But this is bnt q partial survey Of the
6eld. There are 3l7 electoral votes, if
all the Southern ones are counted Of
these, l59 are a majority The States
above given have si1 votes more than is
requisite to choice. Bu: Grant is not
certain of all the South. He cannot,
even backed up By the negroes AMI the
military, carry half of it, He will lose
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas.
If the people in Western Virginia
turn utand vote, as we understand they
will, Grant will be beaten in that State
By a great majority. The Radicals have
been carrying Deeipts se not ene-third of
the people have. .9gae It has Eve elec-
toral votes.
Nebraka is about balaseed politically,
and is as likely to go for Seymour as
Grant. Wisconsin aud Minnesota are in
he same category. A vigorous effort by
he Democracy will give both States to
Seymour. The Radicals only carried
hem last year By the barest majorities.
Even New Hampshire is no. absolutely
.ertain for Grant.
Upon resume, therefore, of the gen
'Fal field, the friends Of Seymour and
Blair have every thing to encourage them,
md with proper organization can hardly
all to succeed.

In different portions of the State Of

The New York Tribune sounds note
of alarm one day TO lis political friends,
and the next assures them that there is
not the slightest possibility of the cleo
tiOn-Of the Democratic ticket. 1t was
in the latter mode. when 1t gave utter
apce TO the following:
1.-The only States that We consider
morally certain to vote for Seymour and
Blair are Kentucky, Maryland and Della
ware; and even Dehware might be car
ried for Grant If his friends were as ac-
tive and zealous as they should be. I
In former years the Tribune possessed
some reputation for candOr, but it seems
to have become demoralized since the
war. Itwould be SANDER, however to
accuse that paper Of honesty IN making
the assertion we have quoted Il enter
tains no such feeling Of safety for its
party as is implied in the paragraph in
which it comedies two and probably three
States to the Democratic ticket. There
are reasonable grounds for claiming that
the following States win vote for Sey-
mour ani Blair:
Connecticut. New York. New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, California, Oregon. Nevada, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois. These
