EDS. HERALD: je1
In political speech made by ex.
republican David Morgan, few
weeks ago at this place he said he
would givehis reason for the faith that
was in him at that time. He pinned
himself to the letter you published
for him some three years ago, but
leaving the letter we fail to discover
wherein he has added to his faith
virtue by leaving the Republican
and entering into marriage covenant
with Democrats; we fail to see where
he has added knowledge to virtue, in
clasping hands with the very men
that he claims stole his property a.
way down in Tennessee, and to
knowledge Temperance. Oh my !
what, go into the Democratic party
for temperance, and to temperance pa
thence, we fear he has not been as pa
tent as he should be, if he did not
get the Indian Agency on the first
application; he should be patient and
try again; and to patience goodness,
this we will leave for the world to
judge whether or no he is exercising
goodness by leaving the party which
God has placed in power, aud made
it as it. were mighty nation to

of the party that he is now recognized

there are but FIVE or six that have
Greeley in the least degree. If there
are any more than this, they arr
ashamed to express it before the
world. And to brotherly kindness

of charity over the Republican party
and his church when he has almos

OUR DUTY.

The canvas is fairly inaugurated
in Iowa, and the people will soon
make choice between the true and
the false. The Republican party is
the same now that it was twelve
years since when to it was entrusted
the duty of saving the nation, except
that with its growth it has learned
wisdom, learned to avoid mistakes
that all parties and all individuals
will make, however we'll they may
mean, and however great their abili-
ty may be. We do not claim that our
party is perfect, for we think If hui
man we will sometimes err; but we
point with pride to the past record
of the party, to the great acts by it
achieved, and the great need to keep
that party in power, until reason shall
have once more fully resumed Its
throne.througho't the land. The party
that undertook the contract inle6l of
of saving the country and ably full
filled the contract, is not likely to be
found to-day working for its destruc-
ton. On the contrary, under the
rule of the Republican party, the
country has assumed a prosperity
never before reached in its history.
Since the Liberals tried to steal our
thunder they say sob, well, platform
Is good enough, but Grant is corrupt
If the Democracy had about 100,
600 such corrupt men in its ranks, it
would be much nearer purity than 1t
ever was before or is ever likely to be
until it parts company with the sore
head crew hanging in its wake.
Under Grants reign the country has
prospered ; National taxes have been
lightened materially, and the war
debt sensibly diminished at the same
time; which shows good manage
ment as to finances. The Indian
tribes are in better condition than
ever,before, under the Quaker man.
sqement. The South has been re-
constructed, and its citizens in a
measure protected, and with proper
hands at the curb rein will soon as.
sume its rank again. Peace has
been maintained in the most trying
times, in fact everything points to q
prosperous administration through
out, and points out plainly our duty,
to retain the party in power which
has accomplished such great ends,
We have but one alternative; either
retain the party that saved the coun
try, place the government in the co.
troll of the mongrel party, or headed
by Horace Greeley, JEFF Davis, thu

closer than ever to the party, ofwork

THE LOUISVILLE CONVENTION of
straightout Democrats, met on the
Sd, represented by full delegations,
and proceeded to nominate a ticket.
Chas. O'Connor, of New York, was
nominated by reclamation, for Pres
ldent, and John Quincy Adams, OF
Massachusetts, son of Charles Fran
els Adams, and grandson of the or
iginal John Quincy Adams, was
nominated for Vice President on the
second ballot. O'Connor telegraph
ed his declination in the following
words: cit is impossible for me to
accept. / am willing to aid you in
everything but that" His despatch
created a panic for an instant, but
Storey and Brick Pomeroy, were
equal to the emergency, and soon
brought them down to work again,
and on motion of Mr.. MORGAN of Ind.
the Chairman Hon. James Lyon OF
Virginia was substituted by acclama.
ton. The ticket then stood James
Lyon for President, and John Q.
Adams, Vice President. The latter
was placed in nomination by Mr..
Burt, (who is he p of Iowa. Among
the candidates we find Henry A
Wise of Virginia. After adjourn
ment for the day, dispatch was re-
ceived from Adams saying he would
not allow his name to be used unless
O'Connor filed the first place on the
ticket. So the Convention next day
passed the following resolution
Resosued, That it is the sense of this Con
vention that Chas. O'Connor of New York
having fully and heartily approved of the
object and purpose of this Convention,
and having been unanimously nominated
for President, and John Quincy Adams OF
Massachusetts, for Vice President; that
the delegates of the Democratic party here
assembled, are unwilling to make any
other nomination in their stead, and that
the Democratic party will give them In
any event, an undivided support.

The Bloomfield Democrat. says ::
On Wednesday as Judge Trimble
was attempting to get on a rapidly
moving train, on the G. q S. w. at
Ashland, he was struck by car and
hurled a distance of 80 feet under the
train, but fortunately not under the
wheels. The shock bruised him
somewhat, and slightly fractured his
leg. He ls doing well and is able to
be about.

The attention of Greeleyites here
abouts in particular is called to the
following patriotic quotation from
North Carolina Greeley and Brown
paper: "Grant is growing weaker
every day. The forces of the usur-
per are melting away like the Yank-
ees under the fire of Southern rifles
in the Wilderness; and he has now
no reinforcements, as he then had,
to fill the gaps in the ranks of his
followers"

MET AGAIN.--Mr. John b. Gray's
sister a lady about &c years old, ar
rived at his house unexpectedly Aug
23d, having come all the way from
their old home in Vermont alone
They had met but once before in As
years. This meeting causes Mr.
G.. to ponder on the changes which
those As years have made for in

men then, and Iowa was an almost
unknown wilderness. Vermont still

Jerry Black, Attorney General,
and afterward Secretary of State,
under James Buchanan, is for Gree
ley. He eats his crow without going
back on any of his teachings under
the rebel Jeems. He says:
"The Fourteenth and FifthteeHth
Amendments were frauds upon the letter
and spirit of the instrument, inasmuch as
they effected the worst outrage that it
was made to prevent. They were carried
against the known will of nearly every
State in the Union, by shameless deception
in the North and by brutal violence in the
South. May this be washed in Lethe and
be forgotten Certainly not, as long as
any portion ofou people are compelled
to bear the intolerable burthcn of the yoke
thus fastened upon them
Democrats who disliked Mr.. Greeley 8
nomination have reflected well, and, l
think, will support him with most perfect
unanimity The thought that a victory aosts
giue as eUerything at once may diminish In
some degree the rapture of the strife, but
it will not impair the efficacy OF their sup
port" q 8e
Will our Liberal Republican friends
show this to the colored voters when
asking them to vote for Greeley :?

Greeley visited Vermont when he
swung around the circle, and it gives
a Republican gain. If some one
would tell him to "Go West, d-you
go west," he might save some of the

Every year increases the popularity
Of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruff;
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy APP
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
