CAL for the Republican National
Convention.

The next Union Republican National Conven-
t;on. for the nomination of candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United States, will
be held in the city of CINCINNATI on Wednesday,
June l4th, 1876, at IL O'Clock noon, and will con-
sst of delegates from each State equal to twice the
plumber of its Senators and Representatives in
Congress and of two delegates from each organ
lied Territory and the District of Columbia.
In calling the convention for the election of
delegates the committees of the several States are
recommended to invite all republican electors and
all other voters, without regard to past political
difference OF previous party utilization, who are
opposed to reviving sectional issues, and desire to
promote friendly feelings and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and en-
forcing all the constitutions! rights OF every clu-
zen, including the full and free exercise OF the
right of suffrage without intimidation and with
out fraud and who are in favor OF continued pro-
secution and fuller punishment OF all oftclal dis-
honesty and an economical ADMINISTRATOR

soutey free from sectarian control; who be-
lieve that for the promotion Of these ends the
direction of the government should continue to
be confided to those who adhere to the principles
of l776, support them as incorporated in the con-
stitution and laws and who are in favor of recog-

Influence and votes and without which the
success of their corruptions would have
been impossible"
A more monstrous libel upon ministers
as class was never published than the
above. Such has been the character OF
the democratic party that it has compelled
all ministers who would vote as they pray
to vote with the republican party. The
democratic party has upheld slavery, re-
bellion, open grogshops, license in all
kinds of immoralitics, pandering to the
very lowest passions and vices of man
kind, while the republican party has given
its Influence to freedom, the support of
the Union, temperance, churches,
schools, and the suppression of vice.
Grogshops are known all over the land
as recruiting places for the democracy !;
while on the other hand every tenn
perance reform. every revival OF re-
ligion. every new church established
has by an impulse as sure AS the law of
gravitation made converts for and added

formed inch rate. who takes an intelli-
gent view of the tendencies of parties on
the temperance question, will inevitably
cast his vote on the republican side. The
rum bottle nurses democracy, and none
know it better than the poor victims of
intemperance.
Ministers as class do vote as they
pray, and that's what's the matter with
the Standard and the dem ocratic party in
regard to ministers. The honorable ex-
ceptions." which the Standard speaks of
above, are such as the present chaplain of
the House Of Representatives, who was
forced TO leave Connecticut because of his
apprehension. and very naturally was
taken up by the Confederates in Con-
gress. That such exceptions are very
rare is much to the credit of the profess
sion.

Under this heading the Maine Standard
publishes an article extremely abusive of
ministers of the gospel who vote the re-

may be inferred from the following para

'In our judgment no class of men in the
country are more responsible for the ex-
istence of these monstrous corruptons that
are eating out the vilals of the republic,
than the clergy. There are honorable ex-

and resisted by word and vote. the corrupt

polluting the life blood of public morality

BELKNAP IN 1872,

The assertion has been made in demo-
cratic papers. the Maine Standard among
them, that charges and proof of corrupt
practices against Secretary Belknap were
brought forward in 1872, and were white
washed and suppressed. This statement
is characterized rs false in every particu.
lar by Gen. Coburn, of Indiana, who was
Chairman of the House Committee on
Military Affairs of the Forty-second and
Forty-third Congresses. He states that
an investigation was had by the Commit
tee in 1872, when Gen. Hazen, among
others, was summoned from a long dis
lance and closely Intercepted by the
sharp and watchful democrats on the
Committee. but neither his testimony MOI
any other that was elected tended to raise
SO much as suspicion of the integrity OF
Secretary Belknap. The labors of the
Committee were searching and indefatiga-
BILE, the testimony was published in full.

POLITIT4L Reform,

The comments of the foreign press on
the Beknap case begin to be reported.
The French papers open the series by la
menting 1.-The decadence of political NOR
atty in the United States,' and we are
likely to hear the changes rung upon that
theme dd nauscam. The fact is likely to
escape these foreign critics that time of
investigation and exposure is, so far from
being period of deeadence. the very
time when political morality shows signs
of recovery. The era when the country
was in real danger from the low tone Of
public morals was when open and shame
less plumber was being carried on, with
but few voices raised on the side of hon
esty. For instance, no state of public
feeling could be more fraught with peril
to free institutions than the hopeless apa-
thy with which the people of New York
accepted the corrupt dictatorship of the
Tweed Ring. The Times was laughed at
when it began the task of overthrowing
that oligarchy of thieves, and not one man
in thousand believed that it would come
out of the struggle save with its property
confscated and its influence ruined. The
success of that effort marked the begin
ming of the era of political reform through
which we are still passing. Public con-
science has reached a higher stage of de-
velopment during the last five years, and
there is little danger nowadays that official
malversation will be passed over as one
of the inevitable penalties of our system
of government.-Ne,c York Tribune.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. FOR
MAYOR


The result of the republican caucus last
evening was the nomination of Captain
CHARLES E. NASH as the republican
candidate to be supported for mayor next
Monday. The caucus was large, the pro-
ceedings harmonious. and the candidate
is fairly entitled to receive the full sup
port OF the republican party in the City OF
Augusta.
Capt. NASH is well known to our citi
zens as one OF the proprietors OF the Ken
nebec Journal. Formerly he resided ir
Halloween, where he learned the printing
trade and was for several years editor and
proprietor of the Hallowell Gazette. AT
the opening of the rebellion he enlisted
as a private in the Nineteenth Maine Reg
iment, in which he served during the
war, participating in many of the blood
lest engagements receiving W Wounds whose
scars he now bears. and honorably win
ming the promotion which he obtained.
After the war he returned to Hallowell.
At the session Of the legislature in 1868,
he was chosen Assistant Clerk of tho
House. filling the position we'll and faith
fully. The next summer he became part
owner of the Kennebec Journal He has
been four years a member of the City
Council, having served two years in the
Common Council-one year as President
and two years in the Board of Alder
men. He is now member of Gen.
Chamberlain's staff.
1t will be seen that Capt. Nash has an
excellent record, not only as a patriot
soldier, but as citizen. His experience
in the city government we'll qualities him
to discharge the duties which devolve up-
on the Mayor. In the Board Of Aldermen
he was very active and efficient. If elect
ed Mayor. as he undoubtedly will be. he
will carry into that Office industry, expert
ence and capacity. He is man ofcorrect
habits, honest, liberal, attentive to bust
ness, has warm friends. will carry a strong
vote and make an excellent Mayor
We hope our republican friends appre-
ciate properly the necessity of supporting
the republican ticket next Monday with the
full strength Of the party in Augusta. We
must cast full vote. To do it we must
pull unitedly together. Personal feelings
must not stand in the way of united ac-
ton. We AL have an interest in achiev-
ing republican victory-in starting right
in this skirmish preliminary to the State
and National conflict in September and
November. See to the ward caucuses on
Saturday evening. Select the best men
for candidates, and then let us give them
the largest majority we can on Monday.
