To do full justice to `the merits of this Administration' the impar-: dal hand of history will be required 'but the AraedOM people in. November next will re ;cord at the •balloto,box their , opinion of the ?man who through all our sufferings and trials, has stood - firinfind unwavering 'in his deter • minationio rescue the Union front destruction, whatever.the cost might be. That the 'Union: tiCket will be successful in every State by Overwhelming majorities, does net admit•of . " - n shadow of doubt. There .is everywhere, except among the copperhead politicians, an abiding confidence in'President Lincoln. He has proved.him 'selfm atrial through”which none of his pre decessors had ever; palmed except,ashin g ton, and . he has been recognized everywhere as the:iian of the times. • • ' . Theiselec.tion of Andrew Johnson.for Vice President, is.a happy one. He. a War Dern mocratof the very best sort. H was always a, 'Democrat; he was a Senator from a 'Slave State ; 'he supported Breckinridge' for Presi : dent; but he never 'wavered' nor faltered in his devotion to the National cause ;Saud he • has 'carried hisi life in his hands from the out set. Were the Rebels to recover . Tennessee and capture him to-morrow, they would tiro -bably bang him as a traitor before - noon of ihenext day. They have had no, mere ori .ginal, consistent,, "implacable foe, - and not . many more effective. This nomination can be bailed as an assurance to Southern Union 'its that their long-suffering devotion -to the' ,Nationnlcause is appreciated, and will not be forgotten. - This lathe ticket that only truly loyal, men can Sustain. at the coming Presidential elec . The platform of principles adopted by. the :Coniention—which we publish in another. part of this paper—is one that will'command • • the hearty and unqualified approval of every man who truly loves the country. The reso•- •- -lotions are - brief•• but comprehensive, frank and .practical, and their iidoption by the peo ple at the ballot-box, will start' this country. on an unexampled career ef prosperity and greatness. The people thank the National Union Convention for the signally successful manner in which it has done its work. THE FALLEN HEROES. "The untiring, indomitable Grant`with the • magnificent Army of the Potomac, is steadily pressing the, dispirited toe back - to his last covert, the forts of Richmond. Lee is re ' ported sick in Richmond, -and Ewell in com inand of the rebel army. It bona unlikely that the rebel leader sick at heart in anticipation of the defeat of his army and capture of his Cap ital, is disposed to let the last fatal blow fall . upon his lieutenant, , and to let him bear the .responsibility of defeat. While Grant is pres= sing on with resistless vigor, to a Anal and ✓.. 'decisive victory, let us who do not " bear the heat and burden of the day," sing requiems over the graves of the heroes who have fallen 'that our country may live.
