From lhs Chicago joutnGI. s
The Republican party has commencsd
moving on the enemy's works under the
most favorable auspices. The greatest
captain aud statesman Of the age con-
stitute our ticket General Grant and
Schuyler Coliax are the two men whom,
above all others 10 this broad land, the
people love aud trust.
The nation Is now returning TO the good
old times when the Vice President was
the second choice Of the people for the
President. George Washingtou ADD
John Adams were the frsf President and
Vice President Of the United States. Ooe
had led our armies all through che war to
victory, glorious and complete; the other
had been Congressional leader during
and throughout the war. Our Kesolu-
tIonafy fathers wished 70 honor, first the
soldier aud second the statesman. We,
their sons, emulate their example, not 40

From Fulton County.


WAUsEoN, O., Aug. "a, 1868.
One of the largest and most enthusiastic
Delegate Democratic Conventions ever held
in Fulton county, convened at Ottokee, on
Saturday last. Each township was fully rep
resented. The yeomanry of the party were
in attendance, and as much interest mani
tested as though the Democratic party had
been in the majority tor the past dozen
years. The best of feeling pervades the
minds of the mass and each one animated
with determination to contribute his best
efforts to reduce the Radical majority in
this county, at the coming elections. A
most excellent county ticket was placed
in nomination, they bring the wheel horses
of the party, and having received their
political inspiration In the days of jackson.
The tollowingis the ticket nominated:
Auditor-Dr. 1. o. Allen, of Gorham:
Treasurer--A. C. Hough, Of Clinton.
Prosecuting Attorney--M. Handy, of
Ottokee.
Sheriff-John Gambler, of Gorham. 4d
Commissioner-Norris Palmer, of Frank
lin. .i ~,
Suryeyor-James Galbraith, of Dover.
Coroner-David Salisbury, of Pike.
Hon. r. C. Lennon, of Toledo, was pre-
sent, and addressed the Convention.

Gov. CartIn on Gov. Seymour.

Governor CURTIN, of Pennsylvania, says
the Buffalo Courier. was asked the other
day. in the Union League Club House of
Philadelphia, what was his opinion of Gov
ernor SEYMOUR. "Well, sir, if 1 were ask
ed to mention man, who, in my estima-
tion, possessed the attributes of perfect
gentleman, a cultivated scholar, thorough
statesman, and sincere Christian, 1 would,
without hesitation, name HoRATIo SEY-
MoUR, of New York" "How about SEY-
MoUR's loyalty? ?" 'After the dispatches l
sent SEYMOUR at the time of the rebel raid
into Pennsylvania" replied the Governor,
sit would hardly become me to impugn
his loyalty; the fact is have never doubt
ed it. understand that BELMONT is having
all the dispatches sent by STANTON and
myself printed, and have no doubt they
will be in the hands of every Democratic
stump speaker through the campaign. We
had better give up attacking SEYMoUR's
loyalty, for the opposition hold the trump
card in that matter"

The World OF yesterday, queerly but per-
haps truly said: "There Is as much con-
viction of Democratic victory in Novem-
Der, as there was conviction of rain In the
time of Noah and the Ark" We believe it
was the conviction of people in the time of
Noah and the Ark that there ,ods not going
to be. any rain of any consequence. The
World is as badly posted in the scriptures
as the. Chicago Tribune-N. Y. Times.
The people who. in the time Of Noah
thought there was not to be any rain of
consequence has its parallel in these
times. They who, like the Times, believe
that the wickedness of the Radical party
will not destroy it, will wake up some fine
morning soon, and find that they are
swamped, with no Ark to save them.

Michigan Awake!

A couple of weeks. ago, we published as
surances we had received from Michigan
that that State would go Democratic this
tall. Such result was regarded improba-
Bile by many. The indications, however,
verify our information. On the 26th, the
largest political meeting ever held in that
STATE outside Of Detroit, was held at jackson.
Twenty-Five thousand persons are claimed
to have been present. There were delega-
tons and clubs present from all quarters.
Thirty bands of music headed the differ
ent professions. Senator DooLITTLE was
the chief speaker. At night there was
monster torch-light procession. Never in
the political history Of Michigan wasthere
such excitement and enthusiasm.
