Ik Sl)e 2cffcrsonian, THUKSBAY, JUNE 16, 1864. Our Next President. Prom ;i perusal of the proceedings of the National Union Convention, in anoth cr portion of this week's paper, the read er will learn that tlic delegates, payin liecd to the unmistakable demands of the people, have rc-uominatcd Abraham Lin coln, for the Presidency. This is well. It was .1 well merited reward to a true aud tried public servant; and it is a glo rious answer to the libel, so basely insin uated by the enemies of the llcpublic North and South, and at home and a broad, that the war waged for the restora tion of the Union, was a war solely for the abolition of Slavery, and for the po litical agraudizement of a part'. Yes, - fellow-citizens, Abraham Lincoln has "been re-nominated and we congratulate you on it; for in that re-tiomiuatiou we have an assurance, that the people arc terribly in earnest for the suppression of rebellion and for the restoring of the Uu ion to that basis of freedom, ou which it was evidently designed, by the fathers who created it, to stand. Pour years ago they decreed that Honest Old Abe, should be President of these then United States not of New Englaud, nor the Middle nor Western States, but of all the territory embraced within the United States from the St. Lawrence to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the Pacifie, and until that decree is faithfully eom llied with, there can be no let up in the pressure of the public will. Faithful to his pledges in every respect Mr. Lincoln has been successful, beyond lie most reasonable cancelations oi us friends, in administering the Government, amid difficulties the most-perplexing, and best calculated to appall the stoutest heart. lie entered upon the duties of his ofHce with a revolution created to his hand; and though he was loth to take the initiative iu deluging his county with biood, when the alternative was forced upon him, to enforce the laws at the cannon's mouth, or abjectly and dis gracefully submit to the wicked demands of traitors, he wasiiot fuund wanting iu that .steamer stuff which outers so largely into the composition of patriotic statesmen, and literal saviours of their country. In kindness of heart and love for the people of the whole country, he has been ex ceeded by no President who has proceed ed him ; and he has also proven himscli to be the equal of the best, when deter mination to do good at all hazards and at every cost, demanded that he "should lay "aside the character of the diplomat and as sume that of the grim warrior. To use a vulgarism, when ueicssit' required it. he -,eould lay aside the gloves and take the bull by the horns, iu defeuse of the Con stitution and laws. Abraham Lincoln may have faults. j Who has not? He may have made mis 4takcs. Who has not? Yet with ail these may-have's to be laid at his door, lie has shown a wisdom, and houcstv and .a faithfulness to his oath of office and to liis countrT, which will in the coming 3'cars become a marvel eveu in the eyes of honest men. That his course does not meet the approbation of his opponents is no discredit to him. To have merited j their approval lie would have been com-! ipclled to submit to a faded political hori zon, to an obliterated galaxy of stars, to a dismembered Union, and to a Govern ment passed to that same oblivion which now hides from gaze the mismanaged . re-1 publics of old. In doin this he would have had' on his soui disregarded promi ses, a desolated laud and violated oaths. It was not in the composition of Abraham jjincoiu to aiiow nimseit to ueeome so despicable in the eyes of the world. AVith him it had become an axiom ''Per ish, "everything but honor everything but country," and, in the furtherance ol his noble determination, he has earned -for-hiniEclf a name which will stand high on the roll of those who are beloved of the world for their good deeds done to tlieir feilow-meu. Nor lias Sir. Lincoln's efforts been in vain. When he came into office, Mary land, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and all the States South of them were deeply imbued with treason, and on the verge of irrevocably writing down the Sat of Secession. Iu but very few of these had Unionism longer a foothold; but he grappled the monster with a migh 4y hand because a lawful and Constitu tional one and now vafter a short three .years, the boarder States with Arkansas. weaacd to the old Union, and our armies, with, the old Constitution and laws, have secured, and are constantly securing a 'lasting foothold in every rebellious 'State. And to what are we indebted for this. To nothing, under God, but to the wisdom and firmness of Abraham' Lin coln. Is it not meet, then, that the man Wh.qjHis commenced and,, thus far, done the work so well, should be entrusted with the completion of the job? But there is no earthly reason to doubtthe fi nal eliding of the work began in the Bal timore Convention. That was th peo ples work; and the end will be the com plete and final triumph of right over wrong, of loyalty over treason, of liberty over oppression. Unless. aspepial provi dence should interfere, the ides of No vember will scud to the ides of March, greeting, a command to pass Abraham Lincoln to the Presidential chair, for an other term of four years; and this as a sure precursor of war ended, and the peace of our country restored on a basis Grm as the everlasting hills. Our Candidate for 'Vice President. It was eminently proper iu selecting candidates, iu obedience to the will of the people, that after nominating houest Old Abe for re-election to the Presidency, the Baltimore Convention should select a war Democrat for the Vice Presidency In these troublesome dars, Ave have uo time for thought as to auything else but the restoration of the Union, on an honorable and lasting peace basis, and of course cau not permit our political predilections to interfere with our duties as patriots. We therefore hail the nomination of An drew Johnson, of Tenucssec, as a happy omen, preceding the coming struggle for the prevalence of loyalty over treason. Governor Johnson is a Southern man, and has, all his life, been identified with those Southern interests which he deem ed most conducive to the well being of the whole country. lie has never, though an ardent partisan of the Democratic School, been a political time server ; but with Dickinson, Butler, Dix, Hunter and a host of the brighi lights of his party, has always yielded support to such men aud measures as he deemed best calcula ted to advance our prosperity aud stand ing as a nation. When the prcseut re bellion broke out he represented the State of Tenucssec iu the Senate of the United Stales; aud used all his influence, and devoted all his energies to the healing of the schism, which Southern traitors and demagogues, headed by Northern dough faces, were endeavoring to create iu the country; but we regret to say that success did not crown his patriotic efforts. When the war broke out Gov. John sou did not hesitate a moment as to which side he should espouse. He at once threw himself into the scale with those patriots who were resolved, "sink or swim, survive or perish," to staud by the old flasc and the Union. Of the bencfical re suit of his efforts wc have the evidence iu the fact that twice his State -of Tennessee threw from it in disdain the poisoned chalice of Secession, and refused to leave the old Union. Evil men, however, occu pied the State Government, aud notwith standing Gov. Johnson's efforts, aud the expressed wish of her people, Tennessee was dragged into the embrace of treason But traitors could not dra Johuson with them ; his love of country was too deeply imbedded in his heart of hearts; and though he suffered both iu persou and property for his patriotism's sake, he nev er for -a moment swerved from the path of duty which was so hidden with thorns before him. ' On the expiration of his terra iu the Senate, Governor Johnson was appointed military Governor of Tennessee, and iu that position, has contributed probably, more than any other man to the re-awakening of the loyal sentiment of the'State. To-day, Tennessee is rapidly recovering its firmness; and Will soon again be, what she always was before the rebellion nearly crushed her, a steadfast member of the household of the Union. That the nom ination of her favorite son for the sec ond office in the gift of the people will hasten the da' of her final and perfect freedom from the evils she "has endured, will not admit of a doubt, and that his election, which is as certain as that he is nominated, will consummate it, uo sane man can for a moment deny. To work then, fellow citizens, with a will. With Lin coln and Johnson as standard bearers, you may well encourage yourselves with the belief, that you have a cause worthy, of your best efforts.

Y., w;c learn, recently delivered over five hundred dollars worth of trees to farmers, and others in this County, all of which gave perfect satisfac tion. It will be gratifying to all interested in fruit culture, to learn that Mr. G. designs extending his acquaintance among them, for the purpose of affording them further facili ties for acquisitions of this character. The Messrs. Smith's have some three hundred acres uner nursery culture, and are thus enabled, through, their agent, to furnishFruit and Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, of every description, at very reasonable prices. 03 Nineteen rebel Generals, the Rich mond papers say, have been lost since the beginuing of the May campaign in Virginia. Seven were killed, ten wounded, and two captured. Since that publication the reb els have lost five other Generals. Jones killed, Law, Lane, Kirkland and Finnegan, wounded The last-named commanded the Florida troops, and his presence ai Richmond proves that the forces recently engaged with Seymour in Florida are with Lee.

Charles Brock, the person who was shot in a melee in Jackson township, in this county, a short time since; ahd'who was confined in our Couuty Jail, to pre ventf him from retaliating upou his oppo ncntsyon that occasion, escaped from Jai on Sunday night last. The keeper heard him makiAg his exit, but feeling a repug nance towards exposing his nude limbs to the chilling blast of a mid-summer winter which prevailed at that time, consoled himself with the belief that the noise proceeded from the gyrations of a large rat, or extra-large xchite miec., and so let him have his leisure for the accomplish ment oi his work. Of course Charles ha made tracks for parts unknown, and if he will remain there, will deserve credit for having left his country for his country's rood. Can Such Things Bel It is pleasant to find the affection with which the Copperhead journals, regard the recent Convention at Cleveland. It may seem strange to hear praises of such men as cndcll Phillips and Parker Pillsbury chanted by sympathizers witu secessiou; but this world of wonders should cause no surprise. The Copper heads have lallen in love with Cleveland One journal tells us that the ticket "has a strong hold upon the sympathies of the most ardent, courageous-, aud vigorous portion ot the rtcpubhean party. It car ries uo dead-weight." Mark this latter phrase. No two men have been' more bitterly denounced by the Copperheads than John C. Fremont and John Coch rane. The former has been ridiculed as a failure in Yirgina. Premont has been an imbecile, a "coward," a "corrupt man," a "pretender," and 'an adventurer.,, Cochrane has been a "turncoat, a "sym pathizer in disguise, a;"fanatic, and an "incapable." They have been denounced without stint or reserve. This was when they were the agents of the Admiuistra tion ; when they commanded troops of American soldiery. They are now in other positions. 1 or reasons of their own, General roiont and General Cochrane saw fit to come home. The Grst did riot like Gen. Pope, and resigucd liis com mand. The second has not published the rcasong that made it proper for him to leave his brigade, and, returning to New York, accept the suffrages of the Bepub- ican party lor a very important office. mm ism to the Administration. They have called together a Convention of citizens, Ironi which "all inends of Abraham Lincoln" were repeatedly warned, and raised what we will not call "the standard of revolt," buta standard whose mostearn- est tollowers are the enemies of the coun try. The Copperheads fiud Fremont "and Cochrane to be eminently proper men. We wiio have sustained them all alon, who have defended them from many a slander and sneer, and who have insisted that their loyalty aud devotion should'be rewarded, fiud .our poor praises -tame and insipid wheu compared with those of the Copperhead newspapers. Fremont, the vilified Fremont, is "a popular idol," and "has been conspicuous above all others for strict fidelity to principle?" To what "principle?" Do the Copperheads re gard Abolitionism, a principle?" Yes terday it was fanaticism, but now that it comes from Cleveland, and proposes to u..: it.i: ' 1 j? uiiwg uiciiuuuuuu anu uisseusion in us train, the Copperheads welcome it as an ally, and waj't iucense in the praise of men whose death by hanging was serious ly urged not many weeks ago as a meas ure ot public safety. Altogether, wc hardly know whether to be pained or amused. The whole affair is one of the spectacles that wc sec once iu an age, to show how much insincerity and selfish- ness we nave in our poor human nature. Press. JJSTlt is said that emigration to the far West is unprecedented. A newspa per editor in Troy, Doniphan county, Kansas, describes the roads as "blockaded with teams," and estimates the number of wagons which passed through that place in one week at. seven hundred, at the rate of a hundred a day. The emi grant wagon?, it is said, averaged at least three men each, Thus the vast region west of the Mississippi ,is rapidly filling up with ontorprising laborers. The Baltimore Conyciitioii.
