A Western Welcome.

There is something very striking
and significant in the meeting of our
General Assembly a thousand miles
away from what was once the centre
of our Presbyterian realm. There
it is, mustered in full force en- the
west side of the Great Lakes, at the
capital of a State which but few
years ago was known to us of the
East only as distant territory, but
which is now mighty and prosper
GUS commonwealth. Wisconsin is
to-day one of the foremost States of
the Union, not only by its material
greatness vastness of its prairies
and, its forests-but in the character
OF its population. 1t was early set.
tied by superior class of emigrants
from New England, and from the
middle and "Middle Western" States.
Along the western shores of Lake
Michigan the men of Massachusetts
met with the men of New York and
Pennsylvania, of Ohio and Michigan.
With these purely American elements
there was a large infusion of immi-
grants from the North of Europe
Swedes and Norwegians. These
hardy Scandiavians brought from
their homes beyond the sea strong
hands and brave hearts-vigorous
frames formed by habits of industry,
and by the necessity which they had
to struggle with the seventies of ma
ture and of cold rigorous climate.
From these two sources the prairies
of Wisconsin were sown with "the
finest of the wheat out Of which
has sprung the powerful and noble
population of to-day. In the war no
state bore herself more proudly than
Wisconsin no regiments were more
distinguished for order and dicipline
and courage, as shown on many
fields of battle.
Nor are the men of Wisconsin dis.
tinguished only as soldiers. They
have shown themselves as great in
peace as in war. They have built up
towns and cities, they
have established schools and col
leges, till the State rau4s with the
States of New England in general
intelligence. Better still they have
planted churches wherever the march
of civilization has gone-on the prai-
ries and in the forests, and along the
shores of lakes and rivers. 1t is
from this vast army of organized
Christian institutions, ard from this
enlightened Christian populatlon,th |
comes the generous welcome that
greets our Assembly on its first ap. |
pearance in Wisconsin, and that has
taught our eastern brethren what is |
meant by western hospitality .-Neto |

Special dispatch to the HERALD.

NfN~A"i NisPhbCn 70 the HERALD.
CHICAGO, June Q, 1880.
The Convention was called to or.
der at l O'Clock by Don Cameron, in
the Exposition Hall Rev. DR.. Kit
fridge made the opening prayer.
Cameron read short speech which
was heard by very few of the ten
thousand people present. He then
nominated Senator Hoar, of Massa.
chusetts. as temporary Chairman and
the Convention elected him without
opposition. Hoar delivered a good
speech, heard farther than Cameron's
but not by half the audience. The
temporary Secretaries were John III.
Roberts,of Illinois and G. L. Mckee.
OF Pennsylvania. Committees, con-
sisting of one delegate from each
state, were appointed On Credentials,
on Permanent Organization and on
Resolutions. There is much and
difficult work for these committees
to do and the Convention adjourned
until IL O'Clock, Thursday morning.
Since yesterday morning the city
has been as full of people as it ever
was on the greatest of occasions. By
noon to-day the crowd was indes-
crlbsble. The halls of the great no.
tells were so packed with men that
when men had to go from one place
to another they were frequently lifted
up and passed along over the heads
Of the dense mass of humanity. For
two hours l stood in one of these
crowds unable to turn around, much
less move to another place. All
these men were waiting for one
chance in fifty to get tickets into the
convention hall. The delegates them.
selves did not get their tickets until
a few minutes before IL O'Clock and
then they were allowed only seven
extras each. The Grant men under
the bulldozing arrangements of Don
Cameron got nearly all the others.
The management was so bad that
very lew of those were assigned tick
cts, got them until too late for the
opening meeting and notwithstand.
ing the thousands upon thousands of
waiting people. there were large
areas of unoccupied seats.
Grants immediate friends are still
trying to foist him upon an unwiIl.
ing party, but the detection is
great, the opposition intense and
they will hardly succeed. New
York and Pennsylvania each have
twenty three delegates who declare
they will not. be bound by the unit
gag, and will. mot vote for Grant.
A nuG.ser Of Virginia delegates so
declare also. Blaine men have be.
come more hopeful, but we fear
tho Sherman mon may be winners.
There is little talk of Washburne,
but under the circumstances he
should be nominated. POLLOCK.

The Head OF q Family.

No domestic circle is what il

of our land recognize the father as

of home. Il is his duty, not only
to his children, bat to the world at

Late Colonel of the Goth Wis. Vols.

LOGAN, Don Cameron and all that
crowd are men who regard working
men as born for their uses as much
as the OK and horse are created tor
mans. Hence they cannot conceive
of this class of people having opin-
ions, rights or privileges which they
should respect. Who following
them puts his neck in a yoke. A
thousand times better that the people
drive them out Of the country than
the Chinese. We are for distribu.
ton of their ill gotten gains. Don

never put an honest finger to labor

THE Milwaukee Sentinel which has
appeared to be opposed to Grants
nomination, last Friday came out
boldly and unreservedly for him.
Probably the change does not de.
ceive any well informed politician in
the State. The whole thing was
preconcerted from the beginning.
Don Cameron, Logan, Conkling aud
Carpenter are the Satanic angels fight
ing for the mastery in the Republican
heaven. They are willing to be
kicked out rather than not be the
commanders. Who that reads did
not expect the Sentinel TO do Car

The pupular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt Fastened the
death Of many invalids, by deprlving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted
with pectoral disease should be supported by
every assurance Of cure, not alarmed by
the gloomy, forebodiug countenances of those
around, For our part, we do not believe
that consumption is incurable, and let physi>
clans theorize as they will, we have mass
of evidence to prove that persons having all
the symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectora'ion, pain and oppression,
sore throat, dierrhGa, night sweats, burning
ing fever, &C., have been permanently cured

They say that the river along the
