The Opposition" had been 50 efectually
squelched before the meeting of the CONVEX
ton that everything passed off "calm as a

closed the Glove feast" with speech, on which
he had evidently bestowed good deal of at

having been ingeuiously devised to satisfy
the free traders in bis party, at the same
time that it gave no unnecessary alarm to his
high tariff friends; and in satisfying the
national bankers and bondholders, at the same
time that he ostensibly advocated the with.
drawal Of the national bank currency and the
payment Of the 5-2O's in greenbacks. 1t is
singular that no report of the proceedings of
the convention at Joliet, or of Mr.. Cooks
speech, has appeared in any of the Chicago

THE LATE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CoNvES-
rIcN.-This is what the Peru Herald, repub-
Lean paper, says about the late democratic
county convention: --'' ''.
The convnatioa Of the De,nocfacy Of La Sale
osunty Was held at Ottawa on Tuesday. Eight
OF the thiFty.six towns were unrepresented by
accredited delegates.
. The first business of the convention was the
asuination of . candidate for Sheriff. Three
nameswe presented--Daniel Blake, of Ottawa,
~. ". Brown, ditto, and Mr.. Hayes, of La Sale
was the candidate OF the young Democracy
at the county seaA ana was put on the county
ticket, the E1putslcta says, to help the balance
of it by literally Smelling out" His prospects
Of defeating VIM. Cullen are very slim.
DR.. Bry, of La Sale, was nominated by accla-
nation for Coroner.
The informal ballot for four Representatives
resulted in a votes for Ben amin Edgecomb, s.?
for q. W. Armstrong, - for james Clark, and
43 tor Benjamin Ream. Eigecomb, Armstrong
and Clark were then on motion. nominated by
reclamation. II. N. Gallagher, OF this city, was
nominated as the fourth candidate, instead of
Ream, who did not desire to be on the ticket.
The candidates are among the best men in the
party. Edgecomb, We believe, is q Labor Union
man. Armstrong is q farmer, has served on the
Board of Supervisors several terms, and is popu.
lar wherever known. Clark is the owner OF the
Utica cement mills, one OF the oldest residents
OF the county, and is independently rich. Gal.
lagher is . young attorney of great promise a
hard worker, conscientious aud honest, and will,
If elected, be watchful guardian of the interests
Of his constituents.

Democratic State Convention.

The Illinois Democratic State Convention met
at Springfield on Wednesday, and was attend
ed by full delegations from nearly every coun-
ty in the state. Hon. John Dement, presided ;
with vice president from each congressional
district, and half dozen of secretaries of
whom r. E. Goodell, Esq, was chief.
The convention put in nomination the fol-
lowing admirable ticket:
Congressman at Large-Gen. w. 3. Ander-
son, of Jefferson co.
State zreasurer-Chas Ridgely, of SPRING
field.
Penitentiary observation-disclosures Red
mond, of Adams, F. T. Sherman, of Cook.
Superintendent Of Public Mstructious-Chas.
Frenz of Peoria.
We have not space to refer to each of these
candidates individually. They are all, how
ever, live democrats, and admirably qualified
for the positions to which they have been
named. Compared with the ticket to which
they stand opposed, the radicals must concetle
the inferlority of their ticket with shame and
confusion. rI .'. .... P
The resolutions Of the convention were
equally admirable. We shall publish them in
our next. "
The proceedings of the convention through.
out were characterized by the greatest har.
mony and enthusiasm. Not tue shadow of a
disturbing element appeared, and the torcibe
and able.speech of the Hon. S. 5. Marshall,
with which the session concluded, and in
which was presented theprcsent situation OF
our political affairs with singular cearness
was listened to with the closest attention and
applauded to the echo

l
The carpet beggen Of North Carolins, since
| their disastrous defeat at the late election in
that state, begin to realize theaphorism that
ssmisfortunes never come singly." Worsted
at the polls, in spite Of innumerable outrages
on the elective franchise by the local niger
militia and the soldiers sent to their aid by
Grant, the judiciary have now turned upon
them and are catching and imprisoning the
leaders for their innumerable outrages before
the election. Worse still, their prince of ras-
Gals, Gov Holden, is in fair way to be i'm
peached and deposed by the democratic ma
jority in the legislature and worst of all, the
New York 7ri6une says it will serve him right,
for the 9n6axs bluntly accuses Holden ofboth
faisehood and forgery in sending dispatches
to that paper and to the President of outrages
in North Carolina that never existed, the OBJ
ject of the dispatches being to induce the
President to send the military to that state to
enable him tt. arrest and imprison honest dem
ocrats to keep them from the election.
1.-THE election in North Carolina, "'saSs the
St. Louis Rspu6ican, "has had the same effect
upon the carpet bsggers as snap of cold
weather has upon migratory fowls; they are
preparing to migrate to more hospitable re-
gions,- They can steal and plumber in North
Carolina no longer, and they are alarmed lest
they will he called to account for the crimes
they have already committed. To escape this
responsibility, and to save ill.gotten plumber
they have accumulated throughout the rosy
reign of Radicalism, they are meditating re-
turn to their distant northern home. Even
the negroes are beginning to desert them. and
in the late elections the conservatives used
this feeling with no little effect to overthrow
them. The efforts Of the successful party were
directed mainly against these unprincipled
intruders, and the result is that while there
are more colDred members elected to the legis-
lature than IN 1868, there are fewer white
Radicals. Georgia has been graciously ac-
corded the privilege of holding an election
this fall, and there is the same disquict among
the carpet-baggers Of that state as In North
Carolina, for Georgia will do what North Car
DINA has done, but do it more thoroughly.
There will be scarcely a carpet-bagger left in
Office sftsr the election in that state and the
control Of it, government will be again in the
hands Of its substantial citizens. Virginia rid
herself Of the curse at the last election, and
the condition of her domestic affairs has been
tranquil ever since. There is hope for SIM
liar deliverance in Alabama, through the quar-
rels between the white and black wings of the
governing party and even the case of South
Carolina is not entirely hopeless, notwlthstand-
ing the silly desertion of Mr.. Orr to the cor
rupt Radical party. Indeed, the elections
this fall promise to sweep this war-born pest
from majority of the afflicted Southern
states and release tho people, both white and
black, from the curse Of q class of men who
are despised wherever their names are an
nOunced."
