OUR CANDIDATES
The Convention which assembled last
week in Baltimore, has performed its work.
Its nominees are now before the people, and
the contest for the Presidency will, in a few
days, be fairly commenced. The Baltimore
Convention differed very materially from any
other that has assembled within the - last
quarter of a century, and its candidates oc
cupy a position before the people entirely
different from that of the great majority of
the men who have been heretofore nominal
ted for the same offices. The Convention
was not a mere gatheringof political schem
ers for the purpose of contriving how they
might best advance the interest of some
party organization by nominating men whose
equivocal position, on political questions,
might render their acceptance of any plat
form consistent, but it consisted of delegates
who went to represent the sentiments and
wishes of the loyal masses of the country.
The people who have stood by the Nation's
Government in its dark hour of trial, and
who have freely offered all they have and
are, to save it from destruction had deter
mined that their choice for the Chief Magis
tracy should be placed in nomination, and
the men who represented them at Baltimore
dared not, if they would, disregard their de
termination. Hence the entire unanimity
of the Convention's action. Every delegate
knew and felt that but one sentiment perva
ded the entire district that he represented
and that but one name wee mentioned in
connection with the office of President. The
people were not looking over the names of
politicians and discussing the probabilities
as to which might be fit to occupy that posi
tion. They had seen one man tried as no
ruler had ever been tried before, and they
knew that to him the affairs of the Nation,
in any emergency, might be entrusted with
entire confidence- They knew that there was
one man whose honesty had never been I
questioned, whose patriotism was as pure as
that of Washington, and whose capacity for
governing had beeu, proved by the severest
conceivable tests, and on that knowledge
they baied their choice. They had seen the
government rescued from the hands of trai
tors and placed in those of loyal men ; they
had witnessed its military power increased
from a demoralized division, officered by
cowardly traitors to an army which in bravery,
discipline and numbers far excelled that of
any other nation ; they had seen its empty
Treasury filled by the spontaneous offerings
of a free people until it was enabled to carry
ou with ease, a war unparalled in the history
of the world, and they knew these results
were not brought about by blind chance nor
by the accidental blundering of incompetent
rules. Under the most favorable circum
stances these achievements would be glory
enough for any administration, but when ac
complished in spite of the efforts of open
and covert traitors they evince a wisdom and
capacity in our rulers never surpassed and
but rarely equaled. Had the people been
ungrateful to the public servant who had
beat protected their interests they were yet
pet quite secure enough to dispense with his
services. Their interests as well as their
gratitude, their policy as well as the predi
lections impelled them to chose for their
standard bearer, the one who first led them
to victory. Their choice was made months
ago and the Convention j only announced it
formally Nvhen it nominated Atitterwa LIN
COLN.
In lipphoine of Andrew Johnson the pa°.
Ale's wieliemtvcre obeyed no less than in the
nomination for President. Although less
prominently before tho.naticm than Mr. Lin
his whole course since tke cominnce- ,
merit of the rebellion has met the approval
of all loyal men. From the day when he
denounced those as traitors, who were enga
ged in forming a new confederacy, ho has
given the government an earnest and con
sistent support. • When the councils of mad
men and. traitors preveled in his.nritiie state
and' foicVdPher into rebellion ;he sacrificed
all huhad'fcir'the cause of his government.
And although his utmost exertions were mil
,sufficient to save Tennesee for the Vzion,
still the earnestness and ability with which
he fought . secession, 'demonstrated that the
Government had no : abler or 'better defender
than he.-;-Since-then r Andrew Johnson has
been regarded by all loyal MOO, as a patriot
,on Whom'iso honor was 'too great bestow
,Sind as *statesman whose ability fitted him
for even tha'higheet.' position in their gift.
The people feel that no'other man in the
country so eminently deserved " u nomination
with Abraham, Lincoln, and the - satisfection
every where.expressed at
the
Renouncement,
will only be equalled by the none of his elec
tion. •
The harmonious - action of this Convontion
.
id indicative oethe' harmony pervading the
traionfitt P y, and the unauimoue noritinntion
eg the mtpdidates,..will
,be ratified by the
unanimous sapport they will receive from all
true lovers of ',liberty - and of our common
Country. Their election is as necessary, for
the maintenance of onr Government - and the
over-throw of treason arLis the 'success of our
armies in the field, and happily both are se
cure beyond the peradventure of a doubt.
DEMOCRACY.
, 4'aThis term is strangely perverted by *those ^
who under its name, endeavor to secure the
control of the Government. At one time, it
had a real meaning, and its principles wore
held by a party truly loyal, which exercised
controlling influence in the affairs of the
nation. When war was resorted to for the
purpose of sustaining the national honor, or
When the rights of the people were invaded
by foreign powers, how sensitive that party
became, and how freely it resented the insult,
and fearlessly braved the dangers of battle.—
No sacrifices wore too great to suffer—no la
bors were too onerous to be borne—or
sufferings too intense to be endured. All
trials, privations, and perils were met with
heroic fortitude; and the enemies of freedom
and justice fell before its advancing hosts.—
In the war of 1812, conduoted by a democrat
ic administration with Madison at its head,
the policy of the nation was maintained, and
proud England humilitated upon sea and
land. In the contest with Mexico, the demo
cratic party was the oontrolling spirit, and a
gain our arms were triumphant. Those wore
contests against foreign foe, and with united
hearts and hands the democracy were found
on the side of the country. So it should ever
be. It matters not who are the foes of the
country, whether they are found rallying un
der the flag of England, of Mexico, or the
Southern Confederacy. They are alike our
enemies, and deserve the same fate. There
can be no good reason why the democratic
party should array itself against the one, and
extend its sympathies to:the other. Whoev
er raises hie hand against the Government,
or in any manner attempts. to sever the ties
which hold our Union together, is an enemy,
and must be so treated. No matter where
he was born or where he resides, he is stilt
an enemy. If reared and educated under
the genial influences of American institutions,
so much the worse. And if there is any dif
ference between the atrocities and wicked
ness of 'a foreign or domestic; foe, we regard
the latter as the most infamous.
Ju the present contest then, where ought
we to expect to find all true democrats ?
Surely giving aid comfort to an open and re
bellious enemy is no part of the duty of de
mocraoy ; and whoever claims to maintain its
true,prineiples while he opposes the Adminis
tration in its efforts to suppress the present
rebellion, is destitute of the ,smallest attri
bute of that party, as known in the days of
Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson. We have
no doubt, many persons arc still found in the
ranks of the present democratic party, who
are sincerely engaged in withholding their
alegiance to the Government from a mint Glen
view of the real condition of our public of
faire. If they could be made to see the fear
ful precipice to which their hostility to the
Administration is forcing the country, we
cannot docht that they would recoil with hor
ror from the inevitable results of their action.
But so it is. While many of the best men for.
merly in full membership with that party,
and earnestly devoted to its ancient doctrines
have repudiated its new heresies, and took
the side of their country ; leaving it in the
management of new allies who have united
with it, and incorporate! in its creed, doe
trines the most odious, and entirely at vari
ance with its former principles.
We have no difficulty in seeing why the ‘
democrats: potty at one time should hold to
the doctrine of a strict construction of the
Constitution with regard to the question of
slavery. But ) Why it should join with south
ern slaveholders is forcing slavery into ter
ritories where it had never existed, we are at
a loss to understand. Why they should change
from an anti-slavery sentiment, to one of ear
nest and active friendship to this institution,
even at the expense of loyalty to the Govern
ment, is as mysterious as it is contemptible.
In this change there oan be no true demoora
oy.
If there ever was a period when genuine
democracy and true patriotism were synony•
mous, it is now; when treason has grown to
such gigantic proportions that more than half
a million of men aro in arms against the Gov
ernment—when every sentiment of humanity
and the warmest devotion of freedom call up•
on men of every party, to forget partizan ties
and rally in defence of thellnion—to main
tain its integrity, and bear aloft our glorious
flag over every battle field and every foe.
This, we call democracy.; pure, unadulterated
and genuine—without it, all our prating a
bout attachments to party are vain. True.
we may attempt to cover up principles by the
flimsy grab of a name ; but in these searching
times, when sentiments are to be tested by
acts, when men are known by their deeds not
by their professions, it is useless to seek shel
ter under any name, for even the limo hon
ored name of democrat will not protect the
traitor, nor conceal the treason from the scorn
of un outraged and honest people. Bo says
the Ame. Rep.
THE NEW Com.—The new one and two
cent pieces recently issued from the mint
have made their appearance in our town,
though the circulation is, as yet, quite limi
ted. We have for a long time felt the incon
venience arising from the scarcity of nickel
cents, and the issue of the new p . eces will
relieve us from the embarrassment we labor
ed under in making change. We trust that
the supply will be equal to the demand ,and,
as they are made for circulation to acornmo
date the public, that no one, for the sake of
getting a paltry premium, will undertake to
hoard them and thus defeat the odject inten
ded. The new pieces are made almost en
tirely of copper, and present a very pretty
appearance; • The circumference of the nick
el and the new cent is the same; the latter
however is thinner, but bears the same stamp
and is lighter in weight. The .difference. in
diameter between the ono and two cent pie
ces is about one eighth of an inch, the latter
being somewhat thicker, and the difference
in diameter between the two cent piece and
oldeopper cent is about one-sixth of an inch.
Tbe'one side contains the inscription, "Uni
ted States of America," and a wreath formed
of heads of wheat, in which is placed prom
inently the figure "2" With the word _"cents"
nnderneath. -- Qn - the other-rilde is an one- -
mented" shield which is .surmounted by a
scroll bearing the words "In God We trust."
Two arrows are crossed,- on. the back of the
.shii3ld ) and a wreath of laurel ' forms the
groued-xerk:
LIBEATY.
Saye a Copperhead ornate,
"If to lore Liberty, and respeot the gutii
anties•of Liberty, is to t•e a Copperhead, then
are threerfourths of , the American people
Copperheads."
There is no boldness in that assertion. Yeti
might have thrown' in the remaining fourth;
And still been perfectly safe.
All Men love Liberty. All
, men who ever
lived, were lovers of, Liberty--- . -for themselves.
Tarquin, Gesler, Charles 11., Laud, Philip 11.,
Alfa, LOitis XIV.; George 111., Dr. Sam. John
son, Metternich, Czar Nicholas, and all the
rest of them loved Liberty. Jeff. Davis, Lee,
Beauregard, John Morgan, Moseby & Co., are
fighting for Liberty—the liberty to "larrup
their own niggers," increase the stock, and
buy and sell ebony merchandise at discretion.
Copperheads are as fond of Liberty as Rebels'
though they don't make quite so heavy sacri
fices to secure it.
Every man who ever lived esteemed Liberty
a good thing—for himself. Most men have
wished it extended also to their kindred, their
fellows, their set, their clan, their race. Up
to this point, "there is nothing new, under
the sun.' The Slaveholders' Rebellion has
never ignored this sort of Liberty.
The American Revolution claimed an en
tirely different basis. "We struggle for the
rights of Homan Nature" was one of its ear•
liest aqd noblest declarations. "We hold
these truths to be self evident," says Thomas
Jefferson in-the immortal Declaration of In
dependence, "that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty," leo., &to, Such is the Revo
lutionary American idea of Liberty—broad,
generous, unselfish, universal. It differs ra
dically from the corresponding Rebel notion,
and from the Copperhead as well. 4nd we
fear that "three•fourths of the American peo•
pie" go not love this sort of Liberty.

United States can never regard with indiffer
ence the-attempt of any European Power to
overthrow by force or to supplant by fraud

independence of this our country, the efforts
of any such Power to Obtain new footholds for
monarchical governments, sustained by a for •
eign military force in near proximity to the
United States. [Long•oontiuued applause.]
The reading of the report elicited the wild
est outbursts of enthusiasm, especially the
emancipation and anti slavery sentiments e
nunciated.

Mr. CANKCON-I want to modify.
The Cy/dam/ix—That is not a definite an•
ewer, rind cannot be recognized as such by
the chair. The question before the Conven

Cameron, A call of the States is demanded.
Idr. RAYMOND or New-York—l understand
that the question before the Convention is the
substitute offered by. &len:Cameron for, one
which ho offered, and afterward withdrew,
and that, the motion now is that Abraham
binooln be nominated far the Presidency. I
desire to say one word upon the manner in
which is proposed to bo done. I believe
that there is no man in this Convention who
will not, however the vote may be taken, give
his vote in just one way.- It can, therefore,
bo froin.no apprehension of the result of the
vote- that this- . particular way of taking it
ahogld - he - proposed; - we - may as well
look to other considerations In deciding bow
we ivtli.takelt. It is very well known that
attornpts_havebeen made, thatigh with no very
great sweetie, to- create the impression that
the notpjnation of Abraham litucoln has to
bo cussed throgght.ithis Convention by porno

oise of indittiddil influence Is vise, un
der it:ego circumstances, to take a vote by ao

reedit, It cou,tidd go weight IV:Weyer to its
eirnestness, tad it may give rise to falsp
pressians. I suggest, and will move fip a sub.
etituto, a resolution embodying toy, view. I
suggest that the wisest course vlould 100 to
allow the roll of the Stales represented in this
,Convention to be - cpljed„,ited let every dole

be at-unanimous vote.from every delegation
precisely to ,lip same effeot. I think.the of

.
by atiolamation. It ctitu .be re enforced, as, it
will be re enforced, by this. Convention and
throughout the country by, a loud acelaina•
tion,of the American people ; and now I move,
as a substitute for the motion of the gentle.
man from Pennsylvania, that 'the 4:roll of the
States be called, and that each delegation be
called upon to . reeord iti — Voiei: [Applause.]
Mr. CAMERON—I accept the modification.
Mr. COOK of Illinois—Mr. President, the
State of Illinois again presents.to the loyal
people of the Nation for President of the Uni
ted States. Abraham Lincoln—God bless him !
Mr. CAmcaott—l desire to accept the rood
ifloation of gentlemen from New-York.
[Cries of roll, roll, question, &o
The CHALK—no gentleman from Ohio
moved that this Convention proceed to the
nomination of candidates for president and
'Vice-President. Upon that a resolution was
offered by Gen. Cameron which has been dis
cussed. Upon that the gentleman from New-
York (RAYMOND) moves we proceed to the
nomination of a candidate for President alone.
I ask the gentlemen from Ohio whether he ac
cepts that as a substitute for his motion.
Mr. DELANO— It was in full comprehension
of the necessity of having an individual ex
pression of opinion in favor of Abraham Lin
coln that I made my motion, and that there
- should be no misapprehension, and no claims
that he had been nominated by clamor, that
public sentiment had been suppressed, that I
desired the nomination as indicated in my
resolution. For no map desires his Domino,
Lion mere than I. I accept the resolution of
fered by the gentleman 'from New-York as a
substitute for my own.
The Cuma stated the question was to pro•
teed to a nomination for President by a call
of the States.
After further debalo, and great confusion,

FREE LABOR IN NORTH CAROLINA.—The
Newborn (North Carolina) Times of June
4th says :—Old slaveholders themselves, who
are honest and candid, are, foreed4o admit
the just and vastly superior claims of tree
labor. They see the sluggish and enervated
laboring population, accustomed to live
around them, animated with new hopes and
fresh vigor. The vricaritand idle lands ly
ing iu vast tracts in every locality and coun
ty are being reclaimed with remarkable ra
pidity. The results this year alone, Within
the old conntie§ of Craven and Carteret, wi'l
be perfectly astounding to the ancient friends
and sticklers of the worn out institution of
slavery. If these happy results can be
achieved at this early period, who can esti
mate the radical and tremendous changes
which are sure to occur when all the bless
ings of the free labor policy are sanctioned
protected and defended by wise and humane
laws, adopted under a ffee State constitution.

Gaiter Shoes was pickAlip on the Baltimore

Culver, son of Joseph Cul

BEEF CONTRACT AWARDER.—T. e
contract for furnishing the United States
troops stationed at Carlisle Barracks, with
the best quality of fresh beef for orreqew,
was awarded to Mr. Jo ex NOBLE, of Carlisle,
at thirteen cents per pound. Mr. NOBLE is
an old contractor, and one in whom the Gov
ernment seems to have implicit confidence.
Mr. NOBLE being a man of large means and
business capacity, is enabled to give accom
modations to the Government seldom afford•
ed by other contractors.
E& - On Saturday the f stival of the
Middlesx Union Aid Society was held at
the County Barn, and a grand affair it was.
The tables were loaded with everything that
cou d please the eye, tempt the appetite, and
gratify the most fastidious taste, showing
bow determined the ladies of Middlesex
were in their efforts to please their patrons
and add their mite toward relieving the pain
and hardships of our soldiers. The assein
bkge was addressed by Revs. Philips, J. Fry,
Dud tleyin, tpul M. C. Herman, asq., all of
whom were quite eloquent.
Surely the ladies of Middlesex, have not
been excelled in this county and we hope
other townships w.ll."ge.t up''' a similar affair,
for such entertainments drive away the cares
and troubles of every•day life and give new
energy to those who visit them.
TAIBLEAux.—The ta . leaux held at
Itheem's Hall for the benefit of the sink and
wounded soldiers, besidas being very sueess
ful, have proved to be among the moet inter
eating entertainments of the season. The se
lections have thus far been very happily
made, and the dress and arrangement of the
different characters evince the exercise of a
good degree of taste. Judging from the tip
plause of the audience, the masquerade ball
affroded more amusement than any of the
other scenes. Tue portly gentleman with the
white beaver and b,eayy beard, presented tru•
iy 4 very poetical appearance. "My Mary
land," we think, however, to have been more
interesting than anything else yet represent•
act or enacted. Maryland is represented
by a l eautiful maiden, with bands retina
oled, and clad in a mourning gown, under
which is a brilliant dress indicitave of vivaci •
ty. 4adips ie appropriate attire stand on op
posite ships, represmating the Northern and
Southern States. pond } ,Carolina walks up
and beseeches Maryland to fallow 'ber. Mary
land shows her manacled hands, and South
Carolina retires. Quo of the Northern Eltalea
then comes forward, strikes. .oil the chains,
and Marylaed laying aside the mourniqg gar•
merit,. follows her benefactor and takes poei
Lion among the Northern States, while the
goddess of Liberty, whioh is just revealed,
oasts toward them an approving glance.
The managers of the tableaux,'and the fes•
rival connected with it, deserve great. credit
for the zeal they have manifested in behalf of
the suffering soldiers.
AN APPEAL IN BEHALF OF THE BAST
TENNEBBEANB —Wp have been Tequested to
publish the following appeal to the oltii.ens of
this place
The people of this borough are earnestly
requee(ed to lend a helping hand to the suf

clothing. They have bad to Leave their homes
and their all fOr their unswerving loyalty to
the old flag They appeal to your patriotism,
io your charity for aid.
The f'ollowiil incident is o true story of
what Occurred during the unusual cold weath
cr in April ; Q family consisting of five or
Id* littig children,-father, mother and graud

lines. The aged grandmother stripped every

,and most of the family

This is only One of the thousand occurran

men for the most part enter the Union army,
and aro clothed by:the Government, but the
women and children, have no means of obtain•
ing proper covering, but through the clarity
of a symathizing people. Make up bundles
of clothing, women and children's especially,
and send them to the store of J. flyer, with
a list of the articles, that it may not be nec
essary to open them and they will be packed
in boxes, and forwarded to the proper au
thorities, who will distribute them to the
sufferers.. We hope this call will be prompt
