The Republicans of Maine held their Con
vention for the nomination of State officers,
on the tenth instant, at Portland, which re
sulted in the re-nomination of Governor
Cony for another terra. The resolutions are,
a confused admixture of extreme radicalism
and attempted 'indorsement of what are
called President Johnson's ''political senti
ments." They start off with the assurance
that the Union party of Maine recognize
the divine hand in carrying us through oar
civil war, and "giving o a lasring peace,
based on the. extermination of slavery and
a restoration of the 'Union," and yet almost
immediately innme rhal the "divine hand"
has done this work so imperfectly as to
maflte it the du:y of the Republican party of
Maine to do it all over again. That is, in
stead of a restored Union, so graciously
vouchsafed ns by the divine instrumental
ity, we have a column of rebellious States
to be held under Provisional Governments
until they shall be reorganized in accord
ance with the views of such political ma
niacs as were assembled at Portlaud on the
tenth instant.
Among other political crudities it is as
serted to be the duty of iha Administration
to establish such Provisional Gevernment
on the ground that the people of the South
are not aa yet, "safe depositaries of free
republican government." This would no
boubt be a very satisfactory argument foT
the Imperialists of Mexico to urge upon
jjaximillian, to justify him in striking down
popular rights there, but it .certainly sounds
strange to Americans, where the people
have been heretofore recognized -by all par
ties as the primary source and fountain of
all political power in the State. But this is
the age of political crudities, and we should
not be surprised to find the Republican
party of Maine re-enacting the old Puritanic
resolutions, "that the earth is the Lord's
and the fullness thereof,' and (hey the spe
cial aints to inker' it. '
Montour ConNTr.Tbe Democracy of
Montour met in County Convention on
Monday last and put in nomination the fol
lowing ticket : -
For Register attd Recorder. William C.

For Commissioner,

W. W. Pihneo, Esq., was appointed Rep
re'seatative Delegate to the Democratic State
CoQventioa.
This Delegate ha been conceded by Co
lumbia coanty to Montour, sometime ago.
At a meeting of our Standing Committee a
resolution was passed to that effect. -
The Resolutions adopted at this Conven
tion will appear in our next issue.
Newspaper Choce We received a copy,
a few day a since, of the Fort Wayne Times
and Sentinel, owned and poblished by I. W.
Campbell & H. Dill, E.qrs., who are mak
Ing a most excellent paper out of it. They
alo print a daily paper. Mr. Campbell is a
reliable, staunch Democrat, well known in
this county, the place o: his bot-hood, hav
ing spent several years in the old Columbia
Democrat office of this town, the people ot
Indiana will find in him, if not already
found, an able and fearless exponent ol
sound Jeffersonian doctrines. He is a young
man possessing ability and act rarely found
in a person of his age and experience. We
have toiled by his side "many a day" when
depending opon our weekly earnings for a
livelihood for ourself and no family. Sue
cess to them j may ihey meet with good
encouragement and maintain the support
and confidence of the Indiana Democracy.
The second enterprise in laying the; At
lantic Cable has at last turned oat to be
another failure.' The cable broke on the
second day of August. The experiment
will not likely be tried soon, as both at
tempts to lay the cable have proved futile,
at a very heavy expeufce to somebody. At
present neither oi the cables have been re
covered and there is very little hope ol
finding them. Some would seem to think
to humanity and the cause of civilized prog
ress this second disaster is a great loss. We
shonld think to the newspaper press it will
be rather a relief than otherwise, the
cost of obtaining news by this line being
sufficient to alarm many proprietors.
The Nrxr Goveror. The Democrats of
Berks county, at their annual county meet

leader of our party in that body, meeu with

While we express our thanks to the Democ

en to Mr.Clymer ir the last Gubernatorial
Convention, (lacking only two votes of a
nomination) we hereby present him as the
choice of Old Berks for Governor in 1866,
confident that in the indispensible reqaisi
tes of integrity and ability, bis superior will
not be named. "
The Abolitionists carried on a wicked
and infamous war against the South, for
four years, to set the negroes free. Now,

The Choddy State Convention which
met at Harrisburg last week put in nomi
nation for Audi:or General, Major General
J F. Hartranft, and tor Surveyor General,
Col. J. M. Campbell ; both old soldiers.
This was thought the best selection That
could be made. One of it members im
plored the Convention to nominate military
mm or they would "dig their own graves."
This advice was heeded. No doubt it was
prudent step; but we can't see how salt
petre would save their patty this Fall. In
all cases, where there is no doubt of the
election of an Abolition ticket the shoddy
pany invariably put in nomination stay-at-home
pairiote; but where men are to be
sacrified the chance of an elecii on hope
ful military men are placed in nomina
tion. So much for their sympathy for the
soldier.
The Republican says : "The Columbia
county Democracy are insulting the sol
diers by acking them to vo e against the
causa for which they fooght." We can't
et?e the point, doctor. We are asking the
soldiers as well as all honet people to vote
agaioKt the party which made the war a
contest lor the negro and which proclaimed
that, no matter what other terms might
be offered by the Sooth, the slaughter of
soldiers should not be discontinued until the
ngro could be made free and be consider
ed equal to 'all white men equal to the
soldiers and the party which now declares
that the State governments shall not be re
stored without an admission of political and
social equality of the negro.. We think the
soldiers u id not fight for- tbns, though you
ask them to support this and vote with you.
The Black "cops" in this county scarcely
know .what to say or how to act in relation
to the Nob Mountain Meeting to come rT
on the 29:h, 30lh and.,3M of this month
A three days meeting peem, to the i.
"something new oncer ibe sun," and they

abont it. The Democratic party is not in
an "uncomfortable condition," as the Abo

have his dupes believe, but in such a con
dition as every hottest man, every man who
feels an interest in the welfare and pros
perity of bis country, should endeavor to
get.
The Ladt's Friend. ' Catching the But
terfly" is the leading steel engraving of the
September number of this favorite period
ical and a very pretty picture it is. It
will remind many of the days of their child
hood, when they roamed about catching
butterflies and ome perhaps may think
sadly that since they have grown to riper
years they have been engaged in nothing'
mocn more important than trying to catch
such other butterflies as wealth and pleas
ore and fame. Tte steel fashion plate for

The Policy of ProFecatieu.
The people of the fcorth are not fulfilling
their brotherly obligations toward their con-
qoered compatriots of the South
Their ac
tion is neither just, generous, nor politic.
They exhibit too much of the sentiment
uVa victis," which, notwithstanding its Lat
inity, does not express the Roman policy
toward a conquered people; for the Ro
mans, onderstanding apparently better than
we do the secret of profiling politically by
their victories in the field, exerted them
selves to make friends of their subdued en
emies. With os, on the contrary, the estab
lishment of supremacy in arras is nsed, not
for conciliation, but as a provocation to con
tinued antagomtm. There seems to exist
a puerile desire to make a grand parade of
superiority, and to gratify a sectional pride
by compelling a discomfiued foe to pass
under the yoke and to make a daily how
of their submission.
. We are aware that this arrogance and
pride of conquest is not to be attributed to
the Northern masses, who are willing and
anxious to meet the Southern people as
friends and equals. But, although they do
not encourage, they permit this display of
vindictiveness on the part of the faction
who hold the reins of power, and they must,
therefore, share the opprobrium and the re
sponsibility for any evil that may entire.
If a stranger should take op one of the
Black Republican journals of this city he
would certainly not receive the impression,
in reading anrticle upon Southern affairs,
that be was opon the soil of a Republic.
He would never conceive that the language
used and the sentiment expressed, emanat
ing from the press of one section of a free
country, was directed against ibe people of
another section of the same country. It
would be more natural for him to suppose
that republicanism extended no farther
South thin the Potomac and Ohio Rivers,
and that beyond that the hihabi anl were
an inferior race, vassals ol the Norttj, di
vesied of political and social rights, subject
to ibe caprice of an arbitrary power. Un
der out Tightful form ol government the
people ol the South are entitled to precisely
the same privileges of citizenship that we
enjoy. Civil war cannot have destroyed
their republicanism without destroying ours.
Yet they are spoken of as being moving in
a different political sphere, and dependent,
evenNn the management of their local af
fairs, opon the will of the centra! authority
At the worst, lbs Southern people have
been guilty of an error of judgment in re
gard lo the significance of self government.
The rebnlt ol the war has not demonstrated
whether they were right or wrong, fof the
troth of a political principle does not de
pend npon the exertion of physical strength,
the might of armies, the resources of an
exchequer or the skill of general?. We be
lie that if they had accomplished their
ir.o'epriit'ece the foundations of republi
canisrp rpo'i ttii continent would have
beu firmer than t.Vy are now. But they
lailed, and have gracefully expressed them
selves willing to abide by the natural con
sequences of failure, and to yield, in prac
tice, their political preferences to the vo
lition of the victors. We have not con
trolled their inclinations by force of arms,
and cannot by insult and persecution. The
most that can be expected from them is a
full, practical acquieocenca ia the political
system as interpreted by the dominant
party of the North. Such acquiescence
they have given, and there remains no is
sue that cannot be determined without the
aid of FeJerai bayonets, and that will not
be all the sooner determined in the absence
of crimination and invective. New Yoik

The Wnirsirctt Thieves.
The curses tbat'follow in the path1 of civil
war pass over across the threshold of peace,
and linger along after the last-shot has been
fired. They are fell now, in the tairit ihat
pervades the moral atmosphere of the laud,
and especially of the 'great and populous
cities. Among the lower classes the genius
of murder, rape and robbery sways with a
power unknown before; and among those
who have moved in a higher sphere, a spir
it of boundless avarice impels to lawless
ness and crime. The several instances re
corded of late of dishonest practices on the
part of men who have occupyed positions
of irnst and importance in our financial
j community, are awakening the people to a
sense of the demoralization that prevails.
It will be found thus, in most case, the men
who thus yield their honor lo the lust for
Mammon have been eager and loud mouth
ed advocates of war. They found their op
portunity in gathering riches sent adri ft
upon the current of civiT strife, and they
tlAflltalAt nnl I rk nrrA tA Ann ft!nl itinl o iit n 1 1
ed the stream of the blood of thaii- rnnntrv- i
j
men upon which the golden waifs floated
into their hands. Recklessly they encour
aged theconvulsion that upheaved to them
the elements of wealth; recklessly they
sqcandered the fortunes thus infamously
acquired. And now, with equal reckless-
ess they plong into the vortex of crime to
grasp mote Treasure and support their hab
its of luxury .and vice.
The firm of Morris Ketchum, Son & Co.,
were, in a financial point of view, the pets
offhe War Administration. The advantag
es that others toiled for were thrown into
their way. They basked into the sunshine
of power, and the brightness thereof inspi
red the "business world with an unlimited
confidence in the favored ones who wele
so loyal in their pecuniary transactions,
and so pecuniarily fortunate in their loyalty.
None were more earnest and enthusiastic
than the Ketchums in their advocacy of a
vigorous prosecution of hostilities. ThCjf
were Black Republicans, heart and hand,
and to the verry bottoms of their welt filled
coffers. They were for "war to the bitter
end," and it is not strange that in the end
they share the bitterness.
But of the end this is but the beginning.
The era of defalcation, orgery, ban robbing
aud other such offences against the finan
cial code, has set in. The day of war con
tracts has passed, but there will be no lack
of other devices to build up speedy fortunes
We suggest that our people place a little
less confidence in the boasting "loyalty"
that has traced the war path because it led
to affluence, and a little more confidence in
the loyally that springs from honesty and
a consciencioos regard for its obligations to
society. If, instead of studying how to rule
and punish the conquered Sooth, we would
turn our attention to purging our own social
system of its poisonous attributes, it would
be a far safer and more profitable employ
ment. Edward B. Ketchum, the respected and
aristocratic Wall street broker of a week ago
the forger of to day, may have been a young
man of correct impulse and honorable char
acter. But there is slight proteciion fof
purity in the midst of the corruption that
reeks from Wall Street and its Dollatedi, ...K-.-k k i ' . ...
vicinity. He was simply one of the macy
victims of the rage for stock gambling and
gold speculaiton that has been engendered
by the war. It is yet in the power of pop
ular opinion to check this evil. Let us lake
the beam from our own eyes and leave to
the Southerners the task of extracting the
mote from theirs. Their crime at the worst,
was a mistaken conception of patriotism,
but the sin that overshadows the temples o!
the money changers "of the North is that
which impelled the meek and lowly Christ,
lor once ouly in his earthly career of love
and humility, to raise bis band in anger.
