The Republican Party.


 Wna. H. Se,Oard, the greatest and most beloved of all the leaders of the Republi- can party abandoned il, and which suffered most? Chase abandoned the Republican party-and which was most hurt, Men..s Andy Johnson betrayed the Republican party, ,-and who was sold by that opera tion2 A swarm of small and less noted men like Coroan, Doolittle, Dixon, Van Wrinkle, Norton, and many others, bartered themselves off in the vain expectation that the Republican party would be ruined by the transaction. And (now) Charles Sum- ner, Lyman Trumbull, Carl Shurz, HoR- AGE GREELEY, and others, following their example, will meet the same fate. The Republican party is stronger than any man, and it's success cannot be prevented by any man. It rests securely in the con- fidence of the people because itrepresents, more nearly than any party that ever ex- isted, the intelligent thought, the honora- ble convictions and the noblest principles of the American people. All the sore heads, and disappointed politicians in the land cannot destroy it! H..

After the announcement of the sixth ballot but before the result was formally declared enough votes were changed to Greeley to give him the nomination by 482 to 1S7 for Adams. s e-s.-1-so4 --ssa
 Two ballots were then taken for Vice President resulting in the choice of Gov. B. Gratz Brown of Missouri. This unex- pected result was occasioned by a coal ition of the friends of Greeley and Brown and is generally considered victory of the political over the anti political element of the convention.
 Among the Connecticut names promi- nent in the convention we notice those of David A. Wells of Norwich, on the com mittee on resolutions; David Clark, of Hartford, vice president; J. J. Jacques, of Waterbury, on committee on perma- nent organization.
 The Eastern delegates and the Free Traders are greatly disgusted at the, re- suit. In the South the nominations are popular. Indications now are that the Democratic Convention will nominate q separate ticket. . .fw .safFv l., v
