just Praise for Hanoock

We have already called atten -

on Nov %, 1867, on taking
Command Of the military district Of

ity. But when the insurrectionarv
forces have been Owe rthrown and
peace established, and the civil au
thorities are ready and willing to
perform their duties, the military
should easse to lesd, and the civil
administration resume it's natural
and rightful dominion" Solemnlv
Impressed with these We've, the Cen.
eral announces that "the great prin-
ciwles Of American liberty are ytill
the rightful inheritance Of this peo-
pie, and ever should be. The right
Of trial by jury, the ha6eos corp,1s.
the liberty Of the press, the freedom
Of speech, the natural rights Of per-
sons and the rights Of property must
be preserved"
This is but specimen Of the
whole tenor Of this memorable order.
and We say that no document has
ever been issued showing more pro
found familiarity with the Constitu
ton Of the United States, or a more
accurate appreciation Of The ideas
and spirit by which public affairs
should be administered and we re-
call with great present satisfaction

the Democracy in $780,"
Mr.. Holt's letter was re-pub-
lished in the Journal of Jan. 18th,
1880, with lengthy CONNIE 1ts.
And in it's issue Of Jan. %. the above
quotat iou, from the letter, received
special comment from the editor oil
the Journal under the heading, mo
Union Soldier Need Apply" intend
ing to convey the idea thet Union
soldier need expect nothing from the
Democracy. But. notwithst anding
the Journal editors we'll written
efFusion a Union General has been
rewarded by the Democracy. Why
has he been rewarded ? Did he fight
Tor the vindication Of the principles
OF the Southern Coufederacy ? or,
did he fight to crush them forever
The people know what Gen. Han
cock did aud where he stood during
the rebellion, and consequently a re-
sumo OF the facts is UNNECESSARY,
Gen. Hancock has been rewarded
by the Democracy Tor his ability and
for his Invaluable services az a I'm
ION GENERAL. And, such being
the case, lfor no sensible man can
sincerely deny it), the Democrats
have shown that the isues of the
war, 80 for as they are concerned,
are dead ; and they (who happened
to be Confederate sympbathizers)
show it most magnanimously when
they reach across the bloody chssm
and grasp the hand of Gen. Han
cock, who was the brave3t chief of
the army to which they surrendered
at Appomattox, and proclaim him
as their standard bearer.
Verify the Republicans have
proven themselves, as a party, to be
an Infinitely more dangerous ele-
nent in our national politics than
their vilest Misrepresentation show
the Democracy to be, for they leave
no power unemployed to keep up
continual internal dissensions which
always endanger the existence OF
established governments.

Democratic National Ticket.

TO-DAY we place at our mast
head the name Of Winfield Scott
Hancock and VIM. H. English, for
President and vice President OF the
United States. We doubt whether,
since the time of Jefferson, a ticket
has ever been presented for the
earnest consideration OF the Ameri-
can people combining greater ele-
ments OF strength and popularity.
patriotism and integrity, than this
eone,-the strength aud popularity
universally conceded and the pa
.triotism and integrity unquestioned
aud upquestionable. Gen Hancock
has breathed the atmosph ere of De-
.mocrscy from his infancy to his pres
ant noble and commendable man
hood. His energy and bravery,

IntelHgencer, generally a journal
Of Partisan eGus ion, publishes a
fkstch of bis life in which is said "he
R'ands without bIemish or reproach. :"
The ticket is unofjectionable in
