A CONVERTS SPEECH.-Mr. Wardsworth,
the Kentucky Democrat who has been con-
verted to Republicanism and taken the stump
for Grant and Colfax, has recently made an
admirable speech from which we take the fol-
lowing:
long for the coming of the bright day and
the glory that will follow in its train, when all
men shall be converted to the Union and the
ideas it represents in America. And / want
some person like General Grant for the next
four years to give full ay to the great meas
ures born out OF the civil war by maintaining,
with his strong hand and resolved soul, peace,
that the laws may be executed and do their be-
niticent work. l appeal to you, Union men,
In behalf OF the. growth and development of
our American Union, whereby all men shall
be blessed, that you support the standard
bearers OF these great principles. We need
for this emergency just such man as Grant
"a tried and true patriot modest, but firm; a
worker, not talker (any fool can make
speeches); the strongest soul alive. Some say
he is cot great man. Well, he is the great
est man, at least, that the war gave birth to-
He conquered Lee; therefore he was greater
than Lee. Perhaps he was not very great
general, but he made Lee appear very SMALL
The American people feel that they need him
they will have him May the issue be tortu-
nate! 1ftne issue is peace, the future is Sc
cure. That future will make plain the mean
ing OF the great events in which we were ac-
tors. These triumphs and blessings for the
future of our country will be due to the sue
cess eft that cause. they are bound up with
the success of that cause; they can only be Sc
cured by our fidelity to it. To-day General
Grant carries our flag and heads the Union
hosts he is moving on the works OF the enemy,
rotted by time, broken down by wrongs We
follow where he leads, with good hope of a
victory that Shall prove browning mercy.

only change being that the Maine Demo-

GENERAL GARFEILD's denomination to repre-
sent the Nineteenth Ohio District in Congress
is good omen. General Garfield has good
army record, had some legislative experience
before his election to Congress, and has now
served in the national House of Representa-
tives for six years. As legislator he is agree
ably free from the omniscience which disqual-
ifies some of his associates, always recognizes
the line which divides the known from the
unknown, and thinks it worth while to nves-
igate matters which come within his province
and to take the best advice he can get OF. 9TH
ers which do not. These qualities may not be
very brilliant, but they are the foundation OF
reputation which will not be all flare and
smoke, and are sufficiently rare to demand
recognition. ....7 ......, ..,.- ... p -.
