Ilicle>j, President of the National Union ' RepvMican Convention: DKAH Slß:—The j platform adopted by tlic patriotic Conven | tiou over which you presided, and the reso lutions which so happily supplement it. so entirely airree with my views as to a just national policy, that my thanks are due to the delegates, as much for this clear, con spicuous declaration of principles as for the nomination with which I have been honor ed. and which I gratefully accept. When a great reliellion. which imperiled the national existence, was at last over thrown, the duty of all others devolving on those entrusted with the responsibilities of legislation, evidently was to require that the revolted States should be admitted to par ticipation in the Government against which j they hneo] le, and vindicates the rights of the poor and the powerless as faithfully .as those of the rich and the powerful. I rejoice, too, in this connection, to find in your platform the frank and fearless avowal that naturalized citizens must be protected abroad at every hazard, as though they were native bom. Our whole pc ;ic are foreigners or descendants of foreigners, and our father- •• tablished by arms a right to be called a nation. It remains for ns to establish the right to welcome to our shores all who are willing by oaths of allegiance to j .3 ILocal atth ©tneral JBtctospaper, Drbotrb to jtolifag, education, Utrtaturr anh JFtovals i become American citizens. Perpetual alle ; giance as claimed abroad is only anoth r name for perpetual bondage, and would make all slaves to the soil where first they 'saw the light. Our rational cemeteries prove how faith fully these oaths of fidelity to their adopted land have been sealed in the life blood of thousands uj>on thousands. Should we not. then, be faithless to the dead, if we did not protect their living brethren in the full en joyment of that nationality for which, side by side with tlie native born, our soldiers of foreign birth laid down their lives? It was fitting, too, that the represents-1 tives of party which had proved so true to national duty in time of war should speak so clearly iu time of peace for the mainte- ! nance untarnished of the national power, national credit, aud good faith as regards it debt. the cost of our national existence. I do not need to extend this reply by further comment on a platform which has elicited Mich hearty approval throughout the land. The debt of gratitude is acknowledged to i the brave men who saved the Union from ! destruction, the frank approval of amnesty based on repentance aud loyalty. The demand for the most thorough econ omy and honesty in the Government, the sympathy of the party of liberty with all throughout the world who long for the liber ty we here enjoy, and the recognition of the sublime principles of the Declaration of In dependence, are worthy of the organization on whose banners they arc to be written iu the coming contest. Its past record cannot Ixi blotted out or forgotten. If there had been no Republican party slavery would to day cast its baleful shadow- over the Repub lic. If there had been no Republican party a free press and free speech would be as un known from the Potomac to the Rio Grande as ten years ago. If the Republican party could have been stricken from existence when the banner of rebellion was unfurled, and when the res ponse of no coercion was heard at the North, we would have had no nation to-day. But for the Republican party daring to risk the odium of tax and draft laws, our flag could not have been kept flying in the field till the j long hoped for victory came. Without a Republican party the civil rights bill, the guarantee of equality under the law to the humble and the defenceless as well as to the ; strong, would not be to-day upon our nation ; al statute book. With such inspirations from the past and j following the example of the founders of the I Republic, who called the victorious general | ofthc Revolution to preside over the land j his triumphs had saved from its enemies, I I cannot doubt that our labors will be crowned with success; and it will be a success which i shall bring restored hope, confidence, pros jx-rity, and progress South as well as North. West and East. and, above all, the blessings under Providence of national concord and peace. Very trulv. yours, BCHI'YI.ER COLFAX. NASHY.

Never trust a j uian whose stumick is out uv order—take no stock in him whose bowels is unsound. Intelleck is nothin, heart is nothin, unless there's a stumack under them on which to build, Chase hez no conshence, Trumbull and Fessenden no gastric joose. Sieh men alluz conspire and alluz fail.

Methawt the Presidenshel course wus reely andtrooly a race course, and the candidates hed to run that course, the winner uv the race to be glorified. At one end uv the track wuz a weighiu stand and at the other the winner's posr, which wuz the While House. The runners wuz to carry the can didates for Vice President and sich other weights ez their backers shood put onto cm. The Republicans hed Grant on the: ground promptly and ready for the race. He come up splendid. He wuzn'tso mighty immence, but ho wuz clean limbed, decently developt all over and showed first-rate in the back and loins. His trainers pulled off his shoulders a few little dead weights which some uv his iujoodishus backers hed chuck t onto him, sposin he cood carry everything. Wade vaulted onto his shoulders and he wuz ready. Our people lied some difficulty in sclectin a man to run agin him. Pendleton wuz trotted out, but Belmont pcrnounced bim unfit; McClellan next, but Vorhees objcctid. Finally Chase wuz selected to run the ap pintid race, and he wuz brot to the weighin stand. To the naked rye he wuz a splen did specimen, and he came up to the stand -o gallant that notwithstanding he carried in his hand a silver pitcher wich the niggers uv Cincinnati give him fordefendin a fugi tive from Kentucky, our people cheered vociferous. Tall, strong and muskier look in, in good flesh, deep chested, broad-shoul dered, strong backt. he wuz ez perfect a specimen ez I ever beheld, and all felt con fident that he would hev no trouble in beat in his opponent out uv site. He come up to the stand gorgeous, accompanied by Trumbull, Fessenden, Grimes, Johnson, and sich, who hed him in tow. At this pint Vallandygum, Peers, Vor hees, Morrissey and Wood, who hed charge uv our arrangements, took him in hand, "We must prepare our man," sod they. "Take orf this ahlishin coat." sed Voor hecs. "And this imparshel suffrage vest," sed Morrissey, "the nigger hezn't the moral qualifications for the ballot." "And this free soil shirt," sed Wood. "And that anti-fugitive slave law wig," sed VoorLees. "And them ckal justis shoulder-braces," sed Feerse. "And them humanitarian pants," shreek ed Wood. "We can't abide none uv these things," yelled the crowd. "Peel! peel! AH uv these you got from the ablishnists, free-soil ersand Republicans. We'll noneuv'em." The silver pitcher he carried in his hand they trampled into the mud. and one by one the obnoxious garments wuz pulled off from him. Heavens! Wat a change. Fz they wuz removed he shrunk. When the coat wuz taken off be wuzn't so broad and massive; when the vest wuz gone he wuz positively flat chested; when the shoulder braces wuz removed he became humpback ed: and when the pants wuz snaked off he stood afore us the merest skeleton I everbe held—a weak, shaky whrezin skeleton. Our folks looked disappointed, but it wuz too lute to change. A loose two sided wrapper was thrown over hiin, Governor F.ngli-h eiiincd into his shoulders, Vallandygum jumped into one pockit and Fernandy Wod into the other, the brass band tooted, the crowd yelled, he made one oonvuisir start, but in vain. The stuffnin wuz all out uv him. His poor week knees gave way, his back doubled up and he came to the ground, every boae in him rattlin cz he fell, while Grant made the race serenely. sed Morrissey, looking at the poor wreck, ' what he got from the ablish nists wuz all ther wuz of him, after all" At. this pint I awoke, and wuz saddaned. There's where our trouble lies. We hev to strip these fellows when they come to us uv ali that give em any strength. Chase with out his ablifhnism can't get aablishen vote, and the Democracy will vote for their own men in preference. Names ain't worth a ——-any more, and men without principles ain t uv the Elitist account. And that's what s the matter with Dimocracy. PETROLEEM V. NASBY, P. M., (Wich is Post master.) CONSPIRACY IN TIIE SENATE. The editor of the New York Independent, who throughout the impeachment trial was a close observer of the proceedings, in the following manner gives his opinion of the seven recusant Senators: The storm of indignation which rages in 1 VTashingtori against Fessenden and Trum bill is not on account of their votes against inpeachment, but on account of their con cealment and deception previous to those *otes. No just man would condemn either ♦f those gentlemen, or any of their associ ates. for rendering a verdict according to his individual conscience, however such a verdict might be out of harmony with I popular sentiment. But never in the j legislative experience of the oldest Senator ■ has such a trick been played on the Senate ' is that by which Fessenden deceived his own colleague, Morrill; Trumbull his own jolleague, Yates; Henderson is own col league, Drake: and Ross his own colleague, Pomeroy. After the close of Bingham's argument, a majority of the court desired to proceed, after a brief consultation, to a final vote. To this Fessenden objected, in a speech which, for a man of his unvelvety tempera ment, was unusually and unconstitutionally blani—asking for a delay on the ground that he had not yet made up his judgement; that during the whole trial he had endeav ored to keep his mind open; that Bingham bad presented several points which were novel and worthy of further consideration, and that he wished an opportunity, quietly and at home, to re-examine the argument and evidence. After this speech, Morrill, his colleague, went round from desk to de.-k in tlie Senate Chamber, and privately begged for this indulgence to his colleague, ex pressing at the same time great confidence that Fessendcn's views would be found not much out of harmony with the views of the majority of his friends. A brief delay was accordingly granted; after which, on Mon day, May 11, the Senators were to compare views in secret session, and on Tuesday, May 12, to vote in ouen con" During .'luuuaj's eompari.-ou of views, to the amazement of all the impeaching Senators, but to the perfect knowledge of the Copper heads and their allies, Fe.-senden delivered a manuscript speech—voluminous, elaborate and technical—one of the most pains-taking and long-wrought papers which he ever pro duced —a piece of composition which, in the judgment of his brother Senators, must have taken him many days to prepare, re fine and polish. This unexpected document instantly produced upon the minds of his cm peers the painful but unavoidable con viction that he had solicited a delay, not for the -like of settling his mind, lut for the sake of polishing his periods. Such a piece of sharp practice had not been expected from a man possessing as much pride of honor as Fessenden; and it filled his associates with mingled surprise, sorrow and iudignation. Meanwhile Trumbull had been playing a similar game. Alter telling his colleague, Yates, that he had prepared nothing at all, he rose twenty minutes afterward aud gave one of the moet elaborate of his speeches, delivering it with such tremor in his voice and such pallor in his countenance as to be tray an unwonted and almost unnatural ex citement. A thunderbolt falling through the glass roof of the Senate Chamber would not have more thoroughly surprised the Senate than Trumbull's announcement of his position. Down to the very last mo ment. he had successfully cajoled his most iniiniate friends amongthe Illinois members of the Lower House, who, aftei his speech, were so shocked by his deceitful behavior toward themselves that they almost entirely forgot the greater injury which he was in flicting on the country. Ross, of Kansas, repeatedly and solemnly assured his colleague, down to the very last day before the vote, and repeated this assur ance to various other Senators and members, that he would vote for conviction on the first, second, third and eleventh articles—a pledge which he so suddenly and strangely broke by aeqitting the President that the whole city of Washington, on Saturday last, was in three hours filled with charges of his positive and downright corruption for money. Henderson, as we learn, is to be confront ed with affidavits alleging that he had positively agreed to vote for the eleventh article —a promise by which, if he had kept it, he would have delivered the nation from its chief incubus. Fowler, who ha.* lately worn the counte- . nance of a man more crazy than sane, led his Tennessee friends (except Patterson) to suppose, down to Saturday morning, that ; he might vote (or conviction. Certainly no j man in the nation was more fierce for im- : peachment than Fowler in January last. Nor has any other Senator, by his Saturday's verdict, so thoroughly, absolutely and irredeemably stultified himself as this wretched man. Van Winkle, of West Virginia, prepared , and read to three Radical Senators a speech j in support of the eleventh article, and yet voted against the article. It is difficult for people at a distance to understand the intense lecling which now prevails in Washington, except in view of the dishonorable conduct which we have thus described. The old veterans of the Senate Chamber have been as much accus tomed to losing as to winning battles. The 10.-s cf the eleventh article, if it had been heaten honorably, would of course have cx- I GREAT •: IOW, but no indignation. S ito! - have just a. much right to rote against as to vote f "a iiiea.ure. Hut the Senate lias ken cruelly and basely deceived by men whom •' had trusted aod honored. It is for this reason that the present wrath rages. Better let the Radicals lose a thou sand impeachers than achieve a single one !-y imitating the unworthy means which their opponents employed to secure last Saturday's victorious shame. TIIE "WORLD" ON~ GEN. GRANT. A DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF HIS "SOLID PUBLIC SERVICES," THE ".STEADINESS AND STAUNCHNESS OF HIS PATRIOTISM," AND THE "UPRIGHTNESS" OF HIS CHAR ACTER. General Grant's temporary acceptance of' the ar Department causes a stir in the Republican party, which confuses the cal- | culatious of those Republicans who, five ! weeks ago, counted securely on his nomina- ; tion as their candidate for the Presidency. 1 hose Republican newspapers, therefore, which, like the Timet, are trying to identify General Grant icith the Republican parh/, | are oppooing a strong presumption by the 1 thinnest and feeblest of shadowy inferences. Gen. Grant, to be cure, favors the execution of the Reconstruction acts , but so also does President Johnson. As they do not differ on this point, they probably differ on Done which is pertinent to the present posture of affairs. President Johnson would indeed have had no such laws passed as he feels constrained to execute; nor is there any evi dence that Gen. Grant ever favored, or tried to promote their passage. President John-: son concedes that Congress has practical control of reconstruction by consenting to execute the laics U has passed on that sub ject; and Gen. Grant finding these laws in force, recognizes their authority, without going behind them to inquire whether they ought to have been enacted. There is no evidence that the President and Acting Secretary of War differ on any important practical question. The fact that the Trib une and other Republican journals object to Gen. Grant that lie has never signified his assent to their principles, deserves notice and consideration. Of the steadiness and staunchness of Gen. Grant's patriotism, or the uprightness and the soliditt/ of his char acter, no man in the country doubts, nor af : fects to doi.bt. The most perfect loyalty, then, may stand with the most absolute in difference to those objects which the Repub i liean party regards as supreme. Or, to ex , press the same idea differently, devotion to ! Republican shibboleth is no test of devotion jto the country. On the score of loyalty and j solid public services, no man in the country ! eon aone into competition icith this illustrious , soldier. But measure him by the usual ; Loyal League standards, and it requires a magnifying glass of very extraordinary pow er to discover that he has any merit of pa j triotism at all. The Tribune is c-lamorous to have Gener ; al Grant show his colors and take sides in i the party squabbles of the day. We rejoice ' that there is one man in the country who is 1 above the necessity of such belittling partisan ship. We trust that Gen. Grant loves his whole country; that be desires the good of all its citizens, without regard to any divi ding lines—whether they be lines of party, ior sccUvu, or latv, or color. It is the no blest reward of great services liko his, that it exalts the character of this high level; that it enables a man to act nobly witbout appearing to be pretentious. Gen. Grant is under a moral necessity of respecting the great renown of his past services. It is be neath him to play any common part in vul ! gar politics. The Presidency can be noth ing to him; he has a more valuable office, j But if in the hands of Providence, he could I be an instrument for tranqnilizing the o:>un • try, that is an honor for which he could af : ford to sacrifice ease, congenial pursuits, and I the responsibilities of greater fame as a sol ! dier. God forbid that he should descend into the arena of party contests. If he cannot be elected President without such a decent, he can do no good in the Presidency. Our torn, lacerated, exasperated country needs soothing, needs pacification, needs oil on the troubled waters, which still toss aod dash after the recent tempest. We would no more have General Grant become a par ty politician than, if we had lived in Wash ington's time, we would have wished him to give aud return party blows. As Wash ington was elected and re-elected on the strength of his character and services, with out pledges either asked or given, we trust that General Grant will beelectal, if at all, in the same way, and with the same gener ous confidence. Having rsstored the author ity of the Government, wc hope that he may add the highest civic to the highest military fame by restoring long lost cnrdialily of feel ing.—From the New York World. Ol'R GREAT MEN. The question is often heard, where are our great men? Political hypochondriacs point back despairingly to the times when the policy of this or of other nations was shapied by one or a few minds; when one thinker's words were received and followed by all men, more because they were his than because they seemed to be wise; and they call our days by contrast the days of little men. They despair of the future, be cause the intellect of a Webster is no longer heard in the Senate, the fierce resolve of a Jackson no longer rules the people from the White House, and the dictatorial judgments of a Marshall no longer frame judicial legis lation on the bench. There is a shadow of truth in all this. No one man now is such a centre of the nation's political life as was Washington. Jefferson ' Jackson in his time. On no man is the hope of a great party built, as it was, even ! within a generation, on Silas Wright or Henry Clay. All our habits of thought, all ; the tendencies shown in our contemporary history, forbid us to expect such times | again. Indeed, a great people are always jealous of great meu. He who gains prominence j among them is seen in the same '"fierce i light that beats upon a throne," his great- ■ ncss exposed, his greatness lessened by standing in sharp contrast with our noble noble ideals. Hence the proverb that "Re publics are ungrateful." Not that they l will not appreciate and reasonably reward ; real service, but that they will not, like na j tions still in their infancy, accept ability for i service and prostrate themselves in the en larged shadow of greatness, j Whatever raises the standard of manhood ! diminishes both the numbers and the prom i inence of those who rise above that stand ard. The nations which accomplished most for humanity arc not those which have the i longest record of the most eminent names. It is in comparative barbarism that deini "'ts arise; that one man absorbs the glory | ami the power of a people. It is iu that millennial future to which, though it still i lies beyond the very horizon of thought. VOIs. 41: NO. 22. each step in civilization brings as nearer, that we -hope to sec all men uiade equal, and all titles cast away. And man be like man, Through all the circle of the golden year." , Europe reproaches democracy as the mother of imperialism. Absolute govern ment by the people tends, they say. to be come absolute government by a chieftain. They point to the two Caesars and two Na poleons as historical proofs. Tliey prove only that a nominal republic, corrupted by generations of unjust spoil and fired by un scrupulous ambition that makes soldiers and emperors, has no existence.

The need of the nation is not great men, but greatness of purjxise and of action. Not a few leaders cau shape this people's future; but a steady movement of the mass, with growing intelligence, patriotism, and charac ter. towards the lull development of its men tal and material power; and it may not be long before all will recognize in the declining prominence of our foremost names, as the people become more capable of thorough deliberation and wise action, one of the 1 most beautiful of those harmonies which everywhere characterize the history of eivil zation.—JVi Y. Pott. I AUSTRALIAN TREES AND ALGE RIAN DESERTS. The The Pall .Vail Gazette says: 'Tn traveling through Spain and the centre of I France there is nothing sadder than to draw a contrast in the imagination between the I present treeless tracts and the vast forests : which once covered the land. In Spain | miles and miles of tawny, monotonous coun ! try go by for hours, as you sit in the rail j way carriage— Ungne* large* for an artist, I bat melanchoily to a thinker, as telling of - baking suns and freezing winds, dangerous 1 floods, sudden and violent changes destruc ' live to humah life. "The great question of replanting forests is DOW very much considered in Europe; and it is a most important question. Not only does the vast quantity of wood which is consumed in modern civilized life make it so, the question also involves climate and health. Those great inundations which cause such terrible suffering in France would be much mitigated, if not prevented alto gether, if the hills and valleys were covered with forests; the seasons themselves would be less intense, the summers less burning, and the winters less freezing. To those who know the north coast of Africa it is clear that there is nothing more likely to rouse genuine enthusiasm than the prospect of clothing the hills with vegetation, and thus mitigating the terrible effects of sirocco, rendering that beautiful country more healthy in the plains giving it the shade which it requires, absolutely producing rain falls, and increasiug the supply of water from the springs; in one word, changing the me teorological phenomena, and adapting it for men and civilization. Dr. Budicbou insists that Africa has a deteriorating effect upon men principally owing to the irritating ef fects of the dry air and of the sirocco. And he moreover adds in his book that there the ground has done its part and that the tree must now begin its work. "There is in Australia a wonderful tree, the Eucalyptus or gum -tree, which will probably be of enormous benefit to Algeria in this particular. It grow? there as well as in Australia, and has this valuable quality, that, though it is a tree growing with extra ordinary rapidity, its wood is of extreme hardness, and much esteemed for building and for the construction of voxels. It over tarns all our ideas of the supposed relation between slowness of growth and hardness of wood. The Eucalyptus globules at fifteen years of age is as valuable as an oak tree of one hundred years. One seed planted near Algiers four years ago is now a tree tbre e feet in circumference at the base. "Mr. Trottier, a practical man, has him self planted several handred thousand of these trees, knows that there is absolutely no difficulty in the operation. TVe have ourselves visited his plantations, and knew also that many trees transplanted from his nurseries to the high hills above Algiers are growing marvellously. The Emperor of the French is greatly interested in the work, and has written to thank Dr. Muller, of Melbourne, Mr. Wilson and M. Itamcl, for the efforts which they have taken to supply Algeria with seeds " THE LAND OF PROMISE. Dozens of young men write us to this effect: "You exhort young men (and older) to quit the over-crowded cities and find (or make) homes in the broad, free country; but where f" —What section do you consider most inviting for those who take with them little more than stout frames and willing bands?" To all such, we desire to say, once for all, there is no section which seeuis to us de cidedly preferable to all others. T\ c have seen prairie and timber as well interleaved in Missouri (along the North Missouri Rail road) as we could wish ; and the whole re gion seemed just about enough diversified in altitude and the timber quite good. So throughout Eastern Kansas, but especially as we traveled southward from Wyandot and Lawrence, it seemed to us doubtful if there could be a better country than we then saw. We have seen as good land in Min -1 nesota, and in different parts of Wisconsin, as we ever want to see. Fart of TT cstern Michigan is still open to pre-emption, and is especially desirable for the timber that now ' covers it and fruit that it will readily pro duce.

KIT CARSON. Dispatches from St. Louis announced that a letter received their from Fort Lynn, Col orado, said that the renowned Kit Carson died at the post on the 23d inst., of a rup ture of an artery in the neck. Kit Carson was one ol the most noted of that intrepid race of mountaineers, trappers, and guides that have ever been the pioneers of civiliza tion in its advancement westward across the Western continent. He w;is horn in Madison county, Kcntuckey. December 24, 1809, and while he was a mere infant, his parents emigrated to what is now Howard county, Missouri, but what was then an al most unbroken wilderness. At the age of fifteen he was apprenticed to a saddler, with whom he continued two years, after * which he joined a hunting expedition, and thus commenced the pursuit he followed during the remainder of his life. For eight years he wasonthe plains leading the adven turous life of a trapper, which he relinquish ed only on receiving the appointment of hunter to Bent's Fort, where he continued eight years more. At the expiration of his time he paid a short visit to his family, and on his return met, for the first time, Gener al, then Lieutenant John C. Fremont, by whom his experience in the backwoods was at once appreciated, and by whom, also, he was engaged as guide in his subsequent ex plorations. In this position he was eminent ly useful, and to him is probably duo much of the success of those explorations. In 1847, Carson was sent to Washington as bearer of dispatches, and was then appoint ed Lieutenant in the Rifle Corps of the : United Ftates army. In 1853 he drove 6,500 heard of sheep over the mountains to j California, a very hazardous undertaking at that time, and, on his return to Laos, was j apj-vitrtcj Indian Agent in New Mexico, j Since this appointment he has been largely instrumental in bringing about the treaties between the United States and the Indian . and on a mission of this kind he visited Washington a few weeks ago in company with a deputation of the red men, and made a tour of several of the Northern and Has tern cities. THF. PROMISE KEPT.— The following, from an exchange, is worth reading: A mother on the green hills of Vermont, was holding by the right hand a son, sixteen years old, mad with the love of the ea. And as she stood by the garden gate me ! morning, she said: "Edward, they tell roe, for I never saw the ocean, that the great temptation of a seaman's life is driuk. Promise me, before you quit your mother's hand that you will never drink." "And,'' said he, (for he told me the story,) "I gave her the promise, and I went the broad globe over, Calcutta, and the Mediterranean. >an Francisco, the Cape of Good Hope, the North Pole and the South. I saw thcui all in forty years, and I never saw a glass filled with sparkling liquor that my mother's form by the gate did not rise before me; and to day I am innocent of the taste of liquor." Was not that sweet evidence of the power of a single word? Yet that was not half. "For," said he, yesterday there came into my counting-room a man of forty years, and asked me,'Doyou know me?' 'No.' 'Well,' said he, 'I was once brought drunk intojyour presence on ship-board; you were a passen ger; the captain kicked me aside; you took me to your berth and kept me there till I bad slept off the intoxication, you then asked me if I had a mother. I said I had never known a word from her Hps. You told me of yours at the garden gate, and to day I am master of one of the finest packets in New \ ork; and I came to ask you to come and see me."'
