THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.

To-day the National Republican Conven-
ton assemblies at PHILADELPHIA. 1t will be
composed of full delegations from every
State and territory in the Union and will
be one of the largest and most intelligent
political assemblage that has ever met on
this continent. 1t has been charged that
it would be a convention of office-holders.
This is false and those who make the
charge know it. There has never been a
national convention of any p arty in pow
er, in which the Office-hOlding element
formed so small part as in this. The dele
gates are the representatives of the Repub-
lican masses and will reflect their wishes
They have been fairly selected, without
any improper interference from any
source. No man can truthfully say that
the President has dictated policy to any
one of the State Conventions. He is the
choice of the honest masses of the party i'll
every State in the Union. He is al
ready nominated for reelection, by
the spontaneous voice of the
whole people, and his enemies know
it. His administration has been unre-
Bervedly endorsed by the Conventions of
every State. Thirty-four States have ex-
pressly instructed their delegates at large.
and nearly all the district delegates TO vote
for his nomination at the Convention as
sembling to-day. There will be no oppo
sition from any source entitled to the
claim of responsibility. He will be nomi-
mated by reclamation and the people will
approve of the act. He will be triumph
antly elected for second term, just as
sure as he lives and as November comes.
No power on earth can defeat him. The
shafts aimed at him by disappointed Re-
publicans, maddened and crazed because
he has will of his own, and fails to ac-
cept their wishes as law, will fall harmless
at his feet. The secret as well as the open
Vaccinations of those who sought to

H.V.R., of the Cincinnati Co numerical,

H. V. r., ofthe Cincinnati co n1n1erciaL
writing from Chattanooga, speaks of Ou1
congressional district as follows:
The Second district now runs entirely
across the old mountain district, and clear
upto somewhere in the neighborhoOd of
Bowling Green, Ken lucky. Perhaps it
includes Bowling Green. [ am not GER
tain about that, but if the Legislators
thought the aid of Bowling Green ne
cessary to defeat Maynard, they certainly
would have included it. The district is
now in about the shape of an ancient bat
tering-ram, and if Maynard could not have
been defeated in any other way, they would
have made it in the shape of fishing-pole
or hat.rack. Anything to beat Maynard,
ceeded.

THE contest for Congress in the Third
District bids fair to be lively one. Chan
cellor Key wants to go, and great many
men in his party are inclined to send him.
Our friend BLIZZARD, who was done for "
by the old Second District in the late
race, has an eye OH the prize. Eb. James,
of Chattanooga, who was defeated for the
nomination two years ago, by Col. Gar
retU, wants to 80, but unfortunately he
was on the wrong side of the line during
the waT. His decided Union sentiments
will never be relished by thoroughbred
Democrats. And then our friend Vaughn
has been talked of, but the Memphis DIP
peal thinks his talent of such an order
that he ought to go from the State at
large, and the General may conclude to
take its advice. At any rate the canvass
promises to be interesting.
HERE is a specimen of the spirit which
animates the Kentucky Democracy in its
support of the Cincinnati nominees:
We submit with feelings of contempt and
loathing to this royal bounty amnesty from
his Leather Headed Majesty, L. S. Grant. 1.-The
backbone ofJhe Grant rebellion against the
peace and happiness of great nation has evil
IDENTIFY received a serious fracture from the
blows of the Cincinnati Convention. Lay on
McDutf, and damned be he who first cries hold
enough" This forced forgiveness to rebels
comes to late too staunch the blood and heal the
wounds of too many of Gods people in the
Sunny South who have been praying for years
only to be let Alone We
know that the Cincinnati ticket is a bitter pill to
lifelong Democrats, but the medicine will have
to be taken if we ever expect 10 gain the as
cendancy in this country again. Let us, then,
IN spite Of our old and obsolete party prejudices
rally to the support of the Liberal Republican
nominees, and teach Mr. CIR ant a lesson that he
shall never forget. We ''stoop" in 1872 to
conquer in 1876.
This is from the Mayfield Democrat, a
rampant Greeley and Brown paper.

HINTS TO TATTLERS.

The nights and recesses of Mount
Taurus are said to be much infested
by eagles, who are never better
pleased than when they can pick
the bones of a crane. Cranes are
prone to cackle and make a noise
Elsa. xviii, II, and particularly 50
while they are flying The sound
of their voices arouses the eagles,
who spring at the signal, and often
make the talkative travellers pay
dear Y Tor their imprudcnt chatter
ings. The older and more expert
enced cranes, sensible Of their be-
setting ioibIe and the peril to which
it exposes them, take care, before
venturing on the wing, to arm them
selves each with a stone large
enough to fill the cavity Of their
mouths, and consequently to I'M
pose unavoidable silence on their
tongues, and they escape the dan
ger. Reader, hast thou an unruly
tongue. Learn Il lesson from the
elder cranes, and to bride thy
tongue by watchiulncss and prayer,
that thou maycst say with the Psal.

been to work, and they have reach

the enevitablc end of this unfortu-

shall not be here to verify the proph-
ccy. This time it is not the fiery
tail Of a comet that is to do the bu-
siness and to roast the entire human
race. 1t is the burning out of the
sun, which will reduce the earth to

that no number of thermometers
combined will be able to indicate
the depths of its irigidity. This is

THE IMMODEST FASHIONS.

There are some features in the
dress Of the present day which eve.
ry modest wife should shrink from
showing upon herself, every careful
mother should prohibit in her daugh
tcrs--things that instead Of pleasing
the pure sense are direct or covert
appeal to sensuality, and can have
no other purpose-ornamcnts that
are arranged so as to attract the eye
to portions Of the person that should
be passed over by the modest gaze :
Il style that gives character to the
walk like the lascvious dances of
the East; distortions OF limb and
figure that are injurious to health
and which can have no other recon-
mendation than that they suggest
certain ideas as to the female form
that arc agreeable to the animal
called man looking as an animal on
woman. The second French empire,
appealing as it did Systematically to
everything that was impure and
base in man, has infected the fash
ion Of dress to an unusual degree :;
and very many follow the fashions
without thinking anything about
them. But it should be borne in
mind that ornamented dress is al
ways designed to be effective in
some direction. 1t produces some
effect upon the spectators, it has
some appreciate influence upon
the wearcrs. Women cannot wear
IN impure style of dress especially
one that has in it an element of
course sensuality, without an injury
to their own perfect purity and re.
iinemrnt, which every mother must
watch over in her daughters and
every wife guard religiously in her
self.
