OIK CANDIDATES.
V more acceptable ticket than thai placed
in nomination by the Republican Conven
tion at Chicago, ha- never boon before the
American people. Instead of the trickery
and rivalry incident upon such occasions,
the delegates to thc Chicago Convention as
sembled to declare officially the will of the
people, long before known to the whole
country. The nomination of Grant was the
mere formality of recording the long before
expressed will of the people. Without so
licitation or effort of any kind on his part
he i> nominated for the highest office in the
gift of the people, by the unanimous voice
of all who stood by the country in her hour
of peril. No candidate -inee Washington
has been placed in nomination tor the Presi
dential office, by so unanimous an expres
sion of the public sentiment. The nomina
tion of Schuyler Colfax. the candidate for
Vice President, is every where received
with unqualified approval, and altogether a
more popular and acceptable ticket, has
never invited the suffrages of the American
people. Men of the people, and having
risen from the humbler wtdks of life, by vir
tue of their own merit, they are truly repre
sentative men, exhibiting in their own ea-
iver> the peculiar characteristics of our Re
publican government, where all are offered
an equal chance in the nice of' life, and
where genuine merit and stern integrity,
may and can exalt from the lowest to the
highest places in the land. Grant, the
turdv son of a veteran pioneer, trained to a
\aborious and industrion- life, having risen
to be the first General of his age, beloved
and trusted as his conutry's deliverer, and
Colfax, the poor printer boy, having be
come the wise statesman, the unimpeacha
ble patriot. equal to evciy emergency, consti
tute a ticket that no opposition can with
tovl u'luoK vr-il? 1." —l—'-♦-wl In t.t'Vt Vo
vember, hy one of the largest and most
overwhelming majorities that has ever sig
nalized a Presidential election. Even the
opposition already concede, without qualifi
cation, the personal popularity of the candi
dates. as well as the strength of the plat
form upon which they stand.
THE UPtIBUCAIi fUTFOU.
The platform adopted at Chicago, like
the candidates placed in nomination, meet®
with the uiu- in minions approval. Our
readers will find it in full in another column,
and none should fail to give it. a careful pe
rusal. Liberal, patriotic and progressive,
it must command the approval of all goad
and true citizen--. It denounces repudiation
in every hope as a national crime, advo
cate- the equalization and reduction of the
nationu axes, as rapidly as consistent with
the b- t interests of the country, advocates
strict economy in the administration of our
national affairs, guarantees impartial suf
frage in the Southern States, and leaves
rhv question in the loyal State--, to the peo
ple of etch to decide for themselves; ap
proves the re-construction policy of Con
gress. favors the encouragement of foreign
emigration, and proclaims the binding ob
ligation of the country to provide for widows
and orphans of the brute men who sacri
ficed their live- upon the alter,of their
country a Eberttes. Bvtry section appears
-o eminently proper, right and just, that wc
eau scarcely understand how any one, hav
ing the welfare of the whole country at
heart, can find fault with it. Our party
platforms indicate our national progress and
it affords us gratification to assure our read
ers that our march is unmistakably on
ward. Higher claims to the supjiort of the
people ha\c never been sot forth hy any
party than those now embodied in the plat
form and record of the National Union Re
publican party now before the people. Let
it receive the hearty, unanimous support of
all who love their country and desire to pro
m';to her welfare and progpwtv.
IMPeiCHHIENT.
On Tuesday the likh inst. the United
States Senate, sitting as a High Court
Of Impeachment, voted on the sec
ond and third articles with the same result
as on the eleventh article. This wo pre
sumo c OSes the impeachment proceedings
or t e present If Johnson, warned by
is narrow escape, behaves with any reason
ab.c degree of prudence, he will doubtless be
permtttcd without further molestation, to
finish his presidential term.
W c are now in po-itiou to judge as to

of
only failed by one vote, and that vote ob
tained by bribery, is a fact ot no small
significance. The record will go into his
tory. not to the discredit of those who
instituted the proceedings, but of him
who. by his high handed outrages made
them necessary, and of those who first
by their votes and resolutions declared im
peachment necessary and then stultified
themselves by voting for acquittal. Whether
such men as Trumbull. Fessenden, Grimes,
Henderson. Fowler and Van Winkle, voted
for acquittal from personal motives of any
kind whatever, or from an honest convie
i t ion of right, time alone will tell! If from
the former, the disgrace will f>e upon their
own heads for betraying country as well as
party 1 If from the latter, it will be to their
credit, and at the sauie time demonstrate
the fact, that While the Republican party
had men. who could fairly and honestly try
i the President ami vote ou the merits of the
l case, independent of party ami politics, the
j copperhead party failed to show a single
Senator, who could so for forget party, as
i to vote guilty on a single article, but _coa
i stautlv and persistently voted solid for the
side which seemed to favor the party ou
every' potty question from the beginning to
the end of the trial.
The houor, the integrity and the patriot
ism of the Republican party has been abun
dantly sustained by its representatives, and
though the President has escaped convic
tion, the country has been greatly benefited.
While the trial was progressing, the Presi
dent at least desisted from obstructing the
work of re-construction, which La - been go
ing on quietly, peacefully and successfully,
so that now. one half the lately rebellious
States, are ready to ask admittance into the
Union, with new Constitutions, conforming
to the changed condition of affair-. The
trial has also demonstrated that our Repub
lican government is strong enough, in the
wisdom and common sense of its people, to
bring to trial, even its highest officers, with
out internal tumult or revolution. The de
monstration to the world of this fact alone,
was sufficient to recompense us for whatever
suspense during the trial or disappointment
at the result, we may have, at any time,
felt. As for its effect upon the party and
its prospects, our enemies are welcome to
all the capital they can make out of it. The
Republican party is stronger to-day for its
courage in attempting, by due course of law
and in accordance with the letter as well as
the spirit of the Constitution, to remove a
b;uf man and a miserable debauchee from
an office, whose dignity he had -hamefully
disgraced and whose duties and privileges
he had outrageously abused. Though a
single vote saved him from conviction and
removal by the Senate, he stands to-day
convicted and disgraced by the verdict of an
overwhelming mdjority of his fellow citizens,
while the Republican party stands vindica
ted and justified in its acts by the vote of
the Senate aud the verdict of the people.
It could not have done less and discharged
its duty, and the country is safer and strong
er to-day for that ae.t The only cause that
can ever bring the blush of shame totheeheek
of a patriotic American citizen will be, not
that the nation impeached its President,
but, that it had a President that deserved
imjieachinent.

Legislative Suggestion.
Muss as. EDITORS. —The nominations by
the Chicago Convention are received here
abouts with great satisfaction, and the
platform is all that could be desired. With
Grant and Colfax, the successful general
re-establish the Union, and administer the
Government in the interest of Freedom and
not as the subservient tools of slave-driving
aristocrats, who falsely profane the name of
Democracy.
I see by your paper that on SATURDAY,
the Gih of JUNE, the different townships are
to elect delegates to meet in Convention on
the 9th of JUNE, and nominate the NATION
AL UNION REPVBIUAN TICKET for Bedford
Co. The people ought to turn out and elect
their best men for delegates, so that we may
have a good ticket fairly nominated by the
people themselves. And let me urge upon
the Republican Party the claims of our one
legged soldier, CAPTAIN JOHN S. SILCKEY,
for the Legislative nomination. Two years
ago he was bid stand aside because Fulton
county claimed the Representative. Like
a good soldier he obeyed orders. Now his
turn has come, Harrison Township intends
to do her whole duty, but with CAPTAIN
STUCK F.V on the ticket we, will do more.
The man who lost his leg for the country is
the man that can run well with us. Yours
Truly, Vox Poi'fu.

Impeachment Th <■ " Doubtful "— Chief
Justice Chase —The Feeling in Washing
ton, dc., dc.
WASHINGTON, May I9th., 1808.— DEAR
INQUIRER :—lmpeachment is much embar
rassed, but we rain oust Audy yet; and after
all, as it was to be so. it was better that the
vote was taken on the 11 th Article, because
it compelled the "doubtfuls" to record their
names on the lasting records of Congress,
as yes or no, and we know our enemies. It
unmasked the traitors, and we know how to
deal with them.
Since the death of Mr. Lincoln. I was
never so shocked, astounded and indignant,
as when 1 saw those renegades, (whose
names are too infamous to mention), array
themselves with Johnson, democracy, trea
son, assassins, Ku Klux murderers, and
the enemies of the country of all names and
kinds. And Chase, the Chief Justice, will
stoop to dabble in infamy, ei|ual to that of
Arnold's, and, in '"bargain and corrup
tion'' for personal aggrandizement, mutilate
his country, divide his party, and sell his
honor for all time.
Cursed be the names of men who at this
critical juncture of affairs, will interpose
ambitious projects before the salvation of
their country, when it lies bleeding at their
feet: and like Chase bargain to keep the
bleeding wound agape, sell his honor, and
make merchandise of the blood of his coun
tryman, to elevate him to the Presidency.
1 bis is what he did, and corruptly bargain
ed with seven Republican tjeuators to join
him in this infamous plot, at the price of
his country's life and his own honor. And
yet we are told, these Senators were voting
on their oaths and consciences, and did
their "duty. "Honorable Senators!" con
scientious Judges! they bring tbeir verdict
stricly according to the law and the facts.
0, honor! was ever thy name outraged in
like manner before? \\ as ever so infamous
a crime committed in the name of Liberty?
But if the remainder of their miserable
days as Senators can atone for so wicked a
conspiracy, and reconcile their acts with any
conscientious view of the matter, we can
endure it: for in a short time they will be
brought face to face, with the Bill to admit
six new States, and will they, dare they,
vote to exclude them; or can they "consci
entiously ' vote to admit twelve new Sena
tors, who will sit in judgment against them,
as thev have judged ?
Mr. Trumbull will frame Civil Rights Bills
and enter himself as the champion of equal
rights, defend his (now repudiated; off
against Executive maltreatment
th\ j nTi " t 'ble force of argument, denounce
President as a usurper and would be
dictator, ami when the President is indict
ed for a breach of the laws he voted for, in a
conscientious spirit, as Constitutional,
i ne turns his back on his conscientious re
cord and votes for his acquittal.
A resonabk spirit of difference of opinion
is to be tolerated, but such a complete
transformation of character, from the mail
ed champion of constitutional liborty, to
the miserable masked gorgon of conspiracy,
can only be accounted for by a birthright of
weakness, and a manhood of treachery,
where self preferment or gold is a more
powerful monitor than conscience.
But to none of these recreant Senators
fall so great a share of odium as to Fowler
of Tennessee. The only hope of a loyal
sovereign State.
Patterson is a weak sycophantic parasite,
and is sold to the Executive, but "Fowler
is a man above personal interests, a sound
constitutional lawyer,' and we know he is j
all right. , ;
But when the scalo of human rights hung :
level, and the question is put, -what says
Tennessee? Guilty or not guilty! Fowler'
falls also, a miserable parasite, selling his I
State for less than gold. But the end is j
not yet. w. c.

-PEKCHBS BEFORE THE CONVENTION.
CHICAGO, May 20, Last evening and !
this forenoon the different delegations were j
gathered at their several headquarters com j
pleting their arrangements for to-day's work, I
and before noon they began to move toward j
the Opera House, and to file into the scats j
assignedby the Committee of arrangements, |
who were designated by badges, and took
charge of the internal arrangements of the I
hall. Before noon the building was packed
to its utmost capacity, and hundreds were i
shut out who had hoped, at the last moment. ;
to manage to obtaiu admittance, and many :
of whom had conre long distances. At quar-)
ter past eleven the doors were thrown opet>< :
and the delegates began to pour in through ;
the main entrance. Only a few States. ;
Ohio, Minnesota, and one or two others,
came at first and took possession of the seats
assigned to them. The spectators, who
did not enjoy the prerogative of reserved
seats, came in greater numbers, and the first
rows of the upper circles were filled with
people at oncc. The immense stage was
assigned exclusively to the officers of the
convention and to the representatives of the ;
press, numbering in all some seven hundred. !
The wings and flats were removed from their 1
places and re-arranged into a continuous flat
wall on either flank. The rear was covered
with the stars and stripes, while a .splendid j
eanopy of red, white, and blue overhung the j
whole, from rear to front, and from right to j
left. The rear part of the stage was lighted ;
by an immense chandelier of two hundred
burners. For the occupancy of the chair- !
mah the showy chair of state belonging to '
the theatrical properties of the Opera House
was placed in the front centre. This mani- :
Testation of a disposition on the part of
somebody to impart something of the nature
of pageantry to the occasion was soon re-,
buked by the removal of the chair and the
substitution of another of a less imposing
appearance—an action which was greeted
with applause by those who witnessed it.
At 12- o'clock, Govenor Ward, the chair
man of the National Committee, called the
convention to order, and an impressive silence
f ; u only in tempted bv
the nervous clicking of the telegraphic in
struments. On the stage, cheers were given
as General Grant's father was escorted to the
stage, and afterwards, when Bishop Simp
son commenced his prayer, the audience
rose en masse. With bowed beads they j
continued standing until he had finished,
and many joined with him when, at the close
of his truly eloquent suphlication, he repeat
ed the Lord's Prayer. Carl Sehurz, of
Missouri, was then nominated fur temporary
chairman, and was unanimously elected.
Gen. Sehurz s speech, accepting the posi
tion, was charaeteriscally eloquent, and eon
sistently Radical with his previous record.
The Committee on Credentials was then
appointed, and the Southern States, as well
as Colorado, were admitted to full participa
tion in the proceedings. California and
Maryland, from each of which States then
are two sets of delegates, were not allowed;
to appoint members of the committee. The
Committee on Permanent (Irganization wu.
tlien appointed, and the convention took a
recess until five o'clock. Among the nove'-
featurcs of the session was the appearance |
on the floor of ten or twelve colored delega
tes from the Southern States. The most im j
posing feature was the en'husiastm demon
strations of favor towards the soldiers and
sailors. Governor l-'airchild, as president
of their convention, yesterday presented
their recommendation of the nomination of
General Grant, which he did in a manner
well calculated to infuse enthusiasm, which
was evidently lacking in the morning sesiou.
After reading the recommendation, bt
briefly foreshadowed the unanimity with
which the soldiers and sailors of the country
would follow their old leader to victor,' in
the coming campaign against the enemy as
they did during the war. General Sickles!
and Logan were frequently applauded and I
called on for speches, but declined.
At ten o'clock on the morning of the
second day the Convention was called to 1
order by the President, who announced that :
the Committee on Resolutions had just sent >
word that they would not be ready to report
before 11 o'clock.
The Opera House was literally filled to
overflowing with people, and thousands were
on the streets unable to get in. Grant's
father was on the platform, and there was
a brilliant array of ladies in the dress circle.
General Palmer, of Illinois, made a
stirring speech. Ilis allusious to impeach
ment were greeted with applause. lie said
the Baltimore Convention had made a
mistake in 1804. Had a proper man been
nominated for Vice President, Abraham
Lincoln would be in Washington the 4th of
March, to welcome General Grant. It was
the duty of the Convention to make such a
nomination for Vice President as will leave
no temptation for the assassination of
General Grant.
1 he Committee on Resolutions appeared,
and their Chairman reported. They con
gratulate the country on the assured (te"Gls
of the reconstruction policy of CdngreTs;
declare a guarantee by Congress of the right
of suffrage to all the loyal people in the
South due, and that it must be maintained:
denounce all forms of repeudiation as a
national crime [greatchceringi; the national
obligations must be paid in letter and spirit;
taxation should be equalized, and reduced
as rapidly as possible; the redemption of
the national debt should be extended over
a long time; reducing the rate of internal
tax-whenever it can be honorably done; the
Government of the United States should be
administered with the strictest economy; the
eorrnption and extravagance fostered by
Andrew Johnson should be reformed: de
plored the death of Lincoln and the accession
of Johnson, and denounce the latter as an
usurper and violator of law, having ob
structed reconstruction, and was justly im
peached for high crimes and misdemeanors
I prolonged eheersj; repudiates the feudal
doctrine "'once a subject, always a stjbjoit. '
No citizen of the United States, tiftifc/or
naturalized, must be deprived of lioerty
when abroad, except for violation of law.
I eulogizes the soldiers and sailors —their
bounties are obligations never to be forgotten.
I their widows and orphans are the uation's
' wards; immigration should be fostered by a
liberal and just policy; and declare that the
Convention sympathizes with all oppressed
people struggling for their rights. A great
sensation has been caused by the adoption
of a resolution that the Convention shall
i continue its organization and come together
at the call of the President.
A unanimous motion was made to pro
ceed to ballot for I'tesidenL and Mr. Logan, j
in the name of the loyal people and soldiers ■
of the Republic, nominated U. S. Grant. :
The whole Convention rose to their feet,
amidst great cheering and waving of hats
and handkerchiefs. The applause was
prolonged. Three cheers were given for
General Grant, and the bands played "Hail
to the Chief." As the States were called
each voted for General Grant. Georgia's
vote was siououoeed by Governor Brown,
who said that Georgia Republicans, many of
whom were original Secessionists, recognized
the maxim—■" Enemies in war—in peace,
friends,' During the progress of the call,
each successive vote was received with great I
enthusiasm General Sickles, rising to oast
the New York vote, was received with
cheers. The Territories were also called,
each having two, except Colorado, which
was allowed six. The Chair announced 650
; votes, ail for Grant. [Great cheering. | As
! the vote was announced a new drop curtain

of enthusiasm on the announcement c? the
nomination were overwhelming. lied,
white and blue pigeons flew through the
opera house; the band played "Hail to the
Chief," and five thousand people rose and
sung, with the bands playing, "Rally
Around the Flag," and llteu gave eighteen
cheers.
Mr. ScoSeld moved to proceed to nomi
nate a candidate for \ ice President, a
counter motion for a recess being rejected.
Mr. Wood, of Kentucky, nominated ex-
Attorney General Speed.
Mr. Sands, of Maryland, nominated J. A.
J. Crcswell.
Mr. Forney nominated ex-Governor Cur
tin.
The following were also put in nomination;
James Harlan, of Iowa; W. D. Kelly, of
Pennsylvania; Mr. Hamlin, of Maine.
The first ballot resulted as follows: Wade,
I 14'J; Fenton, 132; Wilson, 110; Colfax, 14ij;
I Harlan, 1(5; Kelly, 6; Crcswell, 14; Pomeroy,
I I; whole number, 648; necessary to a choice,

The filth ballot resulted in the choice of
I Hon. Schuyler Colfax for Vice President.
1 The vote was as follows; Colfax 529, Wade
i 12. Wilson 11, Fenton 75. Necessary to a
! choice 326. Before the vote was announced
; all the States except New l'ork aud Ohio
declared unanimously in favor of Colfax,
j The platform as adopted by the Convcn
tion is as follows:
[ The National Republican party of the
I Tinted States, assembled in National Con
vention in the city of Chicago on the 2Ulh
i day of May, 1 s6B, make the following dcc
iaraiiou of principles.
\ First—We congratulate the country on
i the assured success of the reconstruction
policy of Congress as evinced by the adop
i tion, in a majority of the States lately in re
| hellion, of constitutions securing equal civil
1 and political rights to all, and regard it as
, the duty of the Government to sustain those
institutions, and to prevent the people of
; such States from being remitted to a state
|of anarchy. [Cheers.)
i Second —The guarantee by Congress of
equal suffrage to all loyal men at the south
was demanded by every consideration of
public safety, of gratitude and of Justice,
and must be maintained, while the question
of suffrage in all the loyal States properly,
j belongs to the people of those Slates.
■ [Cheers. [
Third —We denounce all forms of re pud i-
I ation as a National crime, I prolonged cheers.]
j and the National honor requires the pay
| ment of the public indebtedness in the ut
most good faith to all creditors, at home and
, abroad, not only according to tbc letter, but
the spirit of the law, uuder which it was
'contracted. [Applause.]
Fourth— lt is duo to the labor of the na
| tion that taxation should be equalized aqd
I reduced as rapidly as the national faith will
; permit.
Fifth —The national debt, contracted as it
i has been for the preservation of the Union
| for all time to come, should be extended
' over a fair period for redemption, and it is
, the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of
interest thereon whenever it can honestly
j be done.
Sixth— That the bast policy to diminish
j our burden of debt, is to so improve our
credit that capitalists will seek to loan us
money at lower rates of interest than we
now pay, and must continue to pay so long
as repudiation, partial or total, oyeu or
• OVVC**, i.- WW ■'•'■ltofttiMl
Seventh —The Government of the I nited
j States should be administered with tho
strictest economy, and the corruptions,
which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson, call loudly for
radical reform.
Eujhth —We profoundly deplore ti.e un
timely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln
and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson
to the Pr- -idcncy, who has acted treacher
ously to the people who elected hiui and
the cau-c lie was pledged to support, has
usurped high legislative aud judicial func
tions, has refused to execute the laws, has
used his high office to induce other officers
to ignore and violate the laws, ha-em ployed
his executive powers to render insecure the
property, peace liberty and life of the citizen
has abused the pardoning power, has de
nounced the national legislature as uncon
stitutional. has persistently and corruptly
re-is ted, by every measure in his power,
every proper attempt at the reconstruction
of the State- lately in rebellion, has perver
ted the public patronage into an engine of
wholesale corruption, and has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemean
ors, and properly pronounced guilty thereof
by the vutc of thirty-five Senators.
Xinth —The doctrine of (Treat Britain and
other European powers, that, because a
man is oner a subject, he i- always so, must
be resisted at every hazard by the United
States as a relic of the feudal times, not au
thorized by the law of nations, and at war
with our national honor aud independence.
Naturalized citizens are entitled to be pro
tected in all their rights of citizenship, as
though they were native born, and no citi
zen oftb" I nitcd States, native or natura
lized, must be liable to arrest and imprison
ment by any foreign power for acts done or
words spoken in this country, and, if so ar
rested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the
government to interfere iu his behalf.
Truth —Of all who were faithful in the
trials of the late war, there were none enti
tled to more especial honor than the brave
soldiers and seamen who endured the hard
ships of the campaign and cruise, and im
perilled their lives in the service of the
country. The bounties and pensions pro
vided by law for thesd brave defenders of
the nation are obligations never to be for
gottcu. The widows and orphans of the
gallant dead are in the words ot the people
a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's
protecting care.
Elm-nth—foreign emigration, which in
the past has added so much to the wealth, \
development of resources and increase of
power to this nation, should be fostered and
encouraged by a liberal and injust policy.
Tia'/lh —This Convention declares its
sympathy with all the oppressed people
which arc struggling for their-fights.
(Jen. Sehurz then read the following,
aud asked the Convention to adopt it, as an
independent resolution.
Resolved, That we highly commend the
spirit of magnanimity and forgiveness with
which men who have served the rebellion,
but now frankly and honestly co operate
with us in restoring the peace of the coun
try and reconstructing the Southern State
Governments upon the basis of impartial
justice and equal rights, are received bick
into the communiou of the loyal people;
and we favor the removal of the disqualifi
cations and restrictions imposed upon the
late rebels in the same measure as the spirit
of disloyalty will direct and as may be con
sistent with tho safety of the loyal people.
(Cries of "good," "good.")
Gen. tvhurz said: That is my fir.-t amend
ment. It seems to me that the platform of
the Republican party ought to contain at
least a recognition of the great charter of
our rights and liberties, the Declaration of
Independence. I would therefore move
that the following resolution be added to
those already reported by the Committee:
Resolved, That we recognize the great
principles laid down in the immortal De
elarairon of Independence as the true foun
dation of Democratic government, ami wo
hail witii gladness every elfort toward
making these principles a living reality on
every ineh of American soil.
Col. McClure, by a unanimous vote of
the Pennsylvania delegation, seconded the
motion for the adoption of the resolution
Mr. Goocb, of Mass. asked, that these
resolutions by unanimous consent may be
made part of the platform which had just
been adopted.
Mr. Warner, of Alabama, said:—As a
soldier of the Republic, who fought four
years to subdue the rebellion, and now, as
an Alabama Republican, I desire to third
that resolution as expressing the sentiments
of the Republicans of the un reconstructed
States.
The resolutions were then adopted.
The Convention then adjourned with
cheers for the ticket and the platform.

COMMENTS OF TIIE PRESS,
Governor Bullock congratulated General
('•rant and the Hon. Schuyler Colfax on
Thursday by telegraph, as follows:
BOSTON, MASS., May 22.
General U. S. Grant, Washington, D. C,
—Accept my congratulations upon the
unanimity and enthusiasm of your nomina
tion. Massachusetts will support you in vic
tories to come, as in victories past;
ALEXANDER H. BULLOCK, Governor.
Uon, Schuyler Colfax, Washington, D. C.:
I rejoice in your nomination. You have
no better or more cordial friends anywhere
than in Massachusetts. We will contribute
our full share in the harvest of November
next.
ALEXANDER 11. BCLLOCK, Governor.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
[From the Cincinnati Gazette.]
With the best men lor our candidates,
and with righteousness embodied in the
platform and emblazoned upon the people
may, with confidence, be called upon to
work vigorously. The success of this ticket,
in November, will make certain the final sue
cess at the ballot box of the cause which
was made gloriously successful, in part, on
the battle-field by our soldiers.
[Frun the Boston Journal,]
We are persuaded also, that this ticket,
so responsive to the instincts of the people,
will command much more than a mere party
support —that it will appeal to all who are
tired of dissension and long for peaee; to all
who would hasten the return of the pros
perity which can come only from a wise and
firm administration of the Government at
this juncture; to all, in short, who love their
country above personal or partisan ends, and
who, rallying in one grand array, extending
from the Lakes to the Gulf and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, shall, carry General
Grant into the Presidency by an overwhel
ming vote.
[From the Whilmington (Dei.) Commercial.]
We remember some popular and excellent
nominations in the past, but we say with
confidence and positiveness that none better
tiian these, none more claimed the support
of the American people.
The New York Post, which has for some
time past been rather cool in its support of
the Republican party, cordially approves
both of the candidates and the platform. Of
the former it fays:
General Grant's character has had a fair
and full development through the varied ex
periences of the last three or four years.
Prosperity has not changed his simple
habits or his dislike of ostentation and show.
Flattery and political intrigue have not made
him arrogant, or led him to step outside the
proper limits of his duty. If he is elected
to the Presidency, the people may confi
dently oount upon an economical adminis
tration; upon tne strict maintenance of or
der, and the faithful and rigorous adminis
tration of the laws; and upon the selection
of the best men in the country to fill the va
rious offices of the Government.
The nomination of Mr. Colfax for the
Vice Presidency will, we believe, be received
with more general consent and pleasure than
could have been got for any other. He is a
man of integrity, of experience in public
affairs, of sound patriotism, and of so fair
and friendly a disposition, so impartial a
judgment that though he has been Speaker
of the House in a time of unexampled
political excitement and bitterness, be has
secured the respect and friendly regard of
his political opponents, as well as those of
the party of which he basso long been a
most earnest and zealous adherent.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial.]
Grant and Colfax will go well together,
and there is evidence in their lives that
each has peculiar fitness for the place for
which he is named. General Grant is an
man, Poo*v4 * nmrJ*. hut
prompt to uci) 'piict in conduct, but decided
in principle, lie does that which he has to
do without noise and confusion, and with
little wear and tear. There is no "fuss and
feathers" about hiin, and he bears the grea
test responsibilities with the case of a con
scious master of the situation. The popular
instinct that has turned to him at this exi
gent time, as the fit occupant of the Execu
tive office of the nation has not been wan
ting in intelligence, and has been instructed
and confirmed continually by the current
history of the country.
[From the Wheeling Intelligencer.J
We place at the head of our columns this
morning the names of the men who will be
elected President and N ice President of the
United States next November —General
1 'lysscs S. Grant and Hon. Schuyler Coll'ax!
And we do it with the full conviction that
no happier, no more fitting and no stronger
combination could have been made with any
two men in America. The Convention could
not possibly have done better. We do not
see how it could have done so well. For
once, wc may say, that absolutely the best
men have been selected —a thing that rarely
happens in a political convention.
**********
As to the platform, it will be seen that it
embraces the strong and distinctive planks,
upon which the great Union party of the
country, in and out of Congress, have stood
since the end of the rebellion. It is safe
and strong and broad; one that every honest
and loyal man can stand on.
[From the Harrbburg Telegraph.]
There is something truly grand in the
nominations. Both of the candidates arc of
the people, made such by the people, and it
needs only honesty of purpose in them, of
which there is no doubt, to carry out the
will of the people. We heartily concur in
those nominations, and we uphold and de
fend them now and henceforth.
But the final and most important act of
the great Convention was to construct and
adopt a platform guaranteeing a republican
form of government throughout the whole
realm.
[From the?, t. Louis Democrat. ]
The battle cry rises from myriad voices
mingling as one. The standards are full
high advanced, and borne by leaders tried
and trusted. Invincible hosts will rally
around them from every village and every
hamlet in the land. Victory advances to
meet them, aud the establishment of peace
is sure. The great questions of the time
have been settled—the destiny and stability
of the Government is surely established—
From this time forth the Republican party
will become consolidated, and all the glori
ous fruits of years of conflict will be even
tually gathered in ripened perfection. All
honor to the Chicago Convention.
[From the Chicago Tribune.]
"Grant and Colfax' is a ticket that will
sweep the country with the power and earn
estness that swelled the majority for Lincoln
and Hamlin when their names went forth
from the Chicago Wigwam eight years ago.
* * i;- * * *
Illinois has not polled a full vote since
lilOO. Since then she has added a milliou
to her population. Thousands of soldiers
who were not permitted by the Copperheads
to vote in 1864 will vote in 186S for Grant
and Colfax. Thousands of young men who
will give_ their first vote for a President will
vote this fall in Illinois for Grant, and
against repudiation, and treason, and rebel
lion, aud nullification, and the right of
States to do as they please, and against all
the other dangerous doctrines of the Demo
cratic party.
[From the New York Herald.]
In U. S. Grant, the General-in Chief of
the army, and in Schuyler Colfax, Speaker
of the National House of Representatives,
the Republican party has placed a strong,
cohesive and popular Presidential ticket be
fore the people. Grant, the great Captain
ofthe age, has also proved that in the ad
ministration of the civil affairs of a peace
establishment he possesses those rare en
dowments of practical statesmanship which
qualify him for all the responsibilities of
the Executive head of the Government in
any emergency. It is the general impres
sion among the American people that in his
hands their interests and the honor and
prosperity of the country will be safe. His
associate, Speaker Colfax, for one of hi 6
age, is a man of great experience and supe
rior abilities and sagacity in our political af
fairs, and in the event of a call to the White
House to fill the unexpired term of his col
league, no doubt can be entertained that be
will give us a good administration. Nor i
the flattering reputation of these limited to
the United States, for it is substantially the
same abroad as at home. The news of their
nomination will strengthen the confidence
of the friends in "the great Republic" over
all the world—on the Thames, the Seine,
the Rhine, the Neva and the Danube, and
frotn the mighty Amazon, rolling its flood of
waters down the equatorial line, to the Im
perial Yang-tse-Kiang of China, "the son
of the sea." Nor will that honest faith in
American securities at Frankfort-on-the
Main be weakened with the prospect of the
transfer from and after the 4th of March,
1869, of tbe reins of our Government to
Graut and Colfax.
The Chicago Convention could not have
chosen a better ticket. The President pro
tens, of the Senate, Mr. Wade, who led the
list of Vice Presidential aspirants on tho
first two or three ballots, would have been
to Gi ant as heavy a load to carry as was
the Old Man of the Sea to Sinbad the Sail
or; and Fenton, the next highest competitor
of Colfax, would also have been a dead ;
weight. Colfax, on the other hand, gives j
that positive strength and consistency to the !
ticket which makes it a unit and expands
the circle ofits influence. He has had the
valuable training of a newspaper editor —a j
vocation which is in this country the best
of schools for an aspiring politician. It ;
teaches him all the ins and outs of the pro- '
fessiou and how to avoid those shoals and
bars upon whieb so many of our greatest
statesmen have foundered. Tbe rail split- |
ter and the tailor were a powerful team, but
the tanner and the editor will match them.
There is "nothing like leather," and the
newspaper is the third estate of the nine
teenth century. Grant and Colfax are a
strong ticket, and they are provided with a
movable extension platform on the negro
suffrage question ana on the money ques
tion. which will accommodate all comers of
all shades of opinion.
From the Boston Transcript.
Hon. Henry Wilson is in Boston to-day,
having accompanied liis family home from
Washington. He takes his defeat for the
Vice Presidency nuite pnilosophieally, as he
thinks men are of small account when com
pared with the success of a great cause,
lie is much pleased with the platform
adopted at Chicago, and speaks in the high
est terms of Mr. Colfax, as a gentleman of
deserved popularity, and pure and stainless
life. No man, Mr. Wilson thinks, could be
named who would bring greater strength to
the tioket. The Senator expressed to day
the opinion he has held and often expressed
during the past seven months, that the
Republicans will carry three fourths of the
States at the Presidential election, and have
nearly if not quite a hundred majority in
the next House of Representatives.
THE NOMINATIONS.
Opinions of the Press —Reception of the
Neics— Congratulations to the Nominees.
NEW YORK, May 22. —The Sun says the
Chicago ticket is a strong one, and will re
ceive the enthusiastic support of tbe Re
publican party,
Tbe Times, while generally approving of
the platform, thinks, as a matter of policy,
not less than propriety, that the whole
subject of impeachment should have been
evaded.
The Herald says the platform is a work of
some ingenuity. Like an old campaigner
the Convention moves with a bold step
where the ground is found, but treads
cautiously and gingerly over the boggy
places.
The Commereial supports the ticket, re
garding it as insuring victory in advance,
and expresses gratification over the defeat
of Fenton. It condemns the second and
eighth section of the platform, and cordial
ly approves of the balance thereof.
The Post eulogises the ticket, and says
that tberesolutions, whatever faults a minute
criticism might detect in tbc language or in
the form of some of them, are, as a whole,
an explicit sud satisfactory declaration of
the general sense of justice as applied to the
living questions of the day.
The World says the ticket would have
been a strong one five months ago, as it is
completely western and wholly Radical,
Grant is without a popular caual. but, a
successful military career covers a multitude
of defects- Colfax is perhaps the most popu
lar man in his party. On the whole the
ticket is not a strong one.
The Tribune predicts Grant's electoral
and popular majorities will exceed those of
Lincoln over M'Clellan. He will receive
more votes from reconstructed rebels than
any other man in the country. Coder the
auspices of Grant and Colfax our country is
to achieve speedy restoration to its former
fraternity.

Fa rmers will please look at the great advantage
in Thrashing (train with
GEIHERB* PATENT SELF-REG PLA
TING GRAIN SEPARATOR,
CLEANER AND BAGGER.
With the latest Improved Tripple-Oeared llorse
Power, driven either by Gear or Belt.
No. I is a eight-horse power, with cast iron
thresher frame and wrought iron and wood cylin
der, sixteen inches in diameter and thirty-three
inches long. Trunir has ten inch rake crank and
seven rakes is thirty-five inches wide, and deliv
ers the straw on the second rake, these carry the
straw oat on their tops, and deliver it on the
stack or, which will deliver about thirty five feet
beyond the feeder, on a (tack fifteen to eighteen
feet high, and can be easily managed to carry
the chaff with the straw, or deliver it in a sepa
rate place. The trunk and fan sides being closed,
10 confine the straw and chaff, remedies all diffi
culties in cleaning grain against windy weather.
It bag 6 the grain by reasonable management, suf
ficiently clean for market, and its capacity, under
ordinary circumstances, is from twenty to forty
bushels per hour, using eight horses and the same
number of hands; but to force the work under
favorable circumstance, it wilt thresh from forty
to fifty bushels per hour, and with more ease and
agrecableness to hands than any other machine
now in common use.
The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer's
use: in intending to apply to any common lever
or railway power; weighs 1,300 pounds; has an
iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 12} inches in
diameter and 28 inches long; delivers the clean
grain in bags, or if desired, in a half bushel. It
delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder, or
if desired, can deliver the straw and-rbaff togeth
er; will thresh and clean, in good grain, ready for
market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, or from
300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, using four or
six horses, and the same number of hands: but to
force the work, under most favorable circum
stances, good grein, ic., will thresh and clean
considerable more. The Machine will thresh and
clean all kinds of grain generally threshed with
the common machine, and requires no more horse
power, but in many cases does not run so
I hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail
way power.
Now here is what the Farmer and threshertnan
wants, a Separator to go from farm BO farm, to
thrash grain, with more satisfaction than any
other separator now in use, and why is it? Be
cause this separator has a self regulating Blast,
which prevents grain from blowing intothe chaff,
I and also has a self regulating feeder to feed the
.j cleaner and it has rollers and combs in the clean
er which prevents it from choaking. Why does
this machine run so light, and give so little trou
ble? Because there is less friction in the Jour
nals. and the rakes and fan arc geared so that you
have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping,
causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why docs it
clean against the wind? Because the blast has
direct action on the grain and the cleaner is so
I well arranged that the wind has no chance to
j drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built
i permanently on two wheels and the front car
riage separate, ready to attach when necessary?
Because it is more convenient in the barn without
the front carriage. You can turn the machine or
run it from place to place more easily. Why has
it not got Elevators like some other machines?
Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter
nately into the cleaner which must eventually go
into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know,
that filth should be kept separate for feed, Ac.,
we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings
from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex
pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa
tor more cleaner and satisfaclo-y to work about
than others? Because the Fan and Trunk Sides
are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust
from coming out and scattering over the floor,
causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt
and sote eyes. Ac. Why do Threshcrmen get
- more work with these separators than they do
with others? Because this separator has all these
' advantages and many more, which makes it a
1 soparator suitable and a paying one for all
I farmers and Thrashermen that have grain to
' thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit
themselves to the machine, because the machine
w ill not suit itself to the farmer. In short, this
is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and
most agreeable to work about and the only separ
ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently
clean for market under all circumstances.
Farmers can rest assured that this machine is
no humbug, and judging from the high recom
; mendation of farmers that arc using them, we
must come to the conclusion that it is the very
Machine that fanners want and will bare a; soon
| as they have an opportunity to appreciate and
_ | attest its merits, for which we hope they will give
| us an opportunity, as we are willing to be respon
sible if it does not perform as represented in this
Circular. Shop prices of Machine* range from
