Louisville CONVENTION

The straight-line Democratic Nation
al Convention met at Louisville, KY,
on Tuesday. The convention is large
ly attended, and, nomination will be
made. Charles O'Conor, of New York,
will probably be nominated for Presi-
deaf, and John @. Adams of Mass, or
Graham N. Fitch of Indiana, for Vice
President. O'Conor has written a
lengthy letter which was read before
the convention. 1t bears down heavy
on Mr.. Greeley, and is not compli-
mentary to the Democracy who have
assumed the right to sell the whole
party out to Greeley and his friends.
LATER.
The Times and Chronicle of last
pight gives the final proceedings OF
the louisville convention. Charles
OCoaANr and John Quincy Adams
were dominated by acclamation, for
President and Vice President.

Our Ticket.

The ticket chosen by the Republi-
cans OF this county, at their primary
election is one that is as free from OBJ
jections as any ticket that has been
presented to the people of the county
at any time. Every candidate upon
the ticket is fully competent to dis
charge the duties of the Office for
which he is running and deserving, of
the position to which he aspires, and
while we have not a word to say
against the claims or qualifications of
the candidates of the opposite party,
we say now, as we have said upon
other. occasions, no Republican need
60 outside of his own party to find
better or more deserving men to vote
for, for the various county offices to
be filed this fall, than he will find in
the Republican party. They are true
aud tried men, and are well know in
the county, and it is to be hoped that
our Republican friends will not be still
and allow a single candidate on the
ticket to be defeated.
If there were no other reason why
the whole Republican force of the
party should be concentrated upon
the Republican State and county tick
ct, the fact that a heavy majority at
the October election will ensure q
heavier majority at the Presidential
election in November is, of itself, q
good reason why every Republican
should bestir himself, and use every
honorable means to secure the largest
possible majority in October.
Let every Republican rally to his
party, and work for the success of'oV1
whole ticket from now until the polll
are closed on the 9Th of next month
Our political opponents are no idler'
about election times-they work a!
though they were in earnest and want
ed every one of their candidates to b
elected. This is right; we take no ex
ceptions to it; but if it is right TO
them to pursue this policy for thei
candidates we claim that it is equall
proper for Republicans to pursue tn
same course to secure the election o
our candidates, and to sustain thei
political principles by electing men t,
office who will carry them into effect
Again we say to our Republican friend
be at your posts, do your duty an(
all will be we'll.

= One would suppose from reading
Democratic papers, and hearing Dem
ocratic speakers, that Government of
ficials steal all the money that comes
into the United States Treasury. In
this view of the case, how is it that
the interest on our public debt is paid
so promptly? How is it that the prin-
ciple of the Government. debt is grad
ually being paid up? How is it that
the expenses of carrying on the Gov
ernment, paying officials in the differ
ent departments of the Government,
is effected if the money is all stolen
by Government officials? We can &C
count for this in no other way than
that these so called (by the Demo
crats) Government thieves, after they
have taken the peoples money out of
the Treasury, turn. right round and
apply it to the payment of interest on
the Government debt and the pay
ment of the expenses of carrying on
the Government, etc. They certainly
are singular set of thieves.
