of the Republic. From the school.

has done his duty with ability and
fidelity. Self-reliant, he has risen
by the firmness of his character
and the brilliancy of bis intellect
to the high position first graced
by Hamilton. An accomplished
scholar, a learned lawyer. a fear
less and enlightened legislator, a
far seeing and upright member OF
the Cabinet, an honorable gentle
man in private life and a confding
friend, he has ever been noted for
his comprehensive intellect, his
conscientious integrity, and his
adherence to those conservative
and constitutional principles OF
government which secure to every
citizen bis rights, and to every
section its equal consideration un-
der the administration of just laws.
The dark corruptions of the war
epoch have never clouded his rep

ventured to impeach his honor,
for bis life has been pure and un-
sullied, while it has been brilliant
and useful.
MIR. Sherman is now in the
prime of manhood-tall, firmly
built, yet graceful in his move
ments, anu capable of great endur-
ance. His features are expressive,
and there is a good -humol ed twins
kle in his blulsh-gray eyes, while
his forhead and the lover portion
of his face indicate positive de
termination and adherence. His
style of oratory is colluquisl and
convincing, vein of practical
common sense running through
its series of arguments until a con-
vincing conclusion is reached.
The rapidity with which be takes
up the strong points of a case and
successively disposes OF them rem
ders him a formidable adversary
in debate. Careful not to in
fringe upon the rights or wound
the feelings of others, he demands
in return from others perfect re-
spect towards himself.
The National Republican Con-
vention which is to meet In Chi

President of the United States a
man capable of surveying the
whole field connected with the
Interests of this country, who can
furnish Congress with the informa-
tion called for by the Constitution,
and can make such recommends
tions as will be of practical value
In shaping legislation-a man of
the people, who has been the ar
chitect of his own fortunes, upon
whose public aud personal record
there rests nu stain-a man who
has been tested by honorably fill
ing high positions, and who is
thoroughly acquainted with our
machinery of governments man
whose life, whose principles,
whose speeches and whose char
acter are filled with humanity-a
man whose nomination must
strengthen and consolidate the
Republican party. If the conven-
tiou seeks such man, let it nom
iuate one whose name is familiar
to every intelligent citizen of the
Union as having maintained its
credit in dark hours and success

Let them nominate John Sher-
man, of Ohio.
The nomination of Mr.. Sher-
man in June will result in his tri-
umphant election by the voters
of the United States in November.
His patriotism, bis ability, his pri-
vate virtues and his public SER
vices will command him the hear.

can, of every friend of good
administration, of every lover of
honest money. With him as a
candidate, the Republican party
can receive no assault which can
dim the glory of the past or inn

His triumph will be the triumph
of union and liberty, of the rights
of the people, of the prosperity and
glory of the Republic.
With John Sherman as presi-
