JONES. i RepubUca.i Nations! ConvenUorr. The Republican National Convention ' held at Chieago on tie 20 tb and 21st ineL marki an epoch in tbe lilstory ef this countrj. It bad been looked to with deep interest tod ardent hope by all true lovers of popular liberty, while ha opponent predicted results detrimental to Kepnblican oaooess. AU part of the great Republio were represented; CTery State, ' Territory and tbe District of Columbia were admitted to the great council, and the remit was a grand triumph and perfect , success. The utmost harmony prevailed midst a spirit of mutusl concession and ' fnrJmirtncrt on tVi mrt of 11 dstsrrafsa 'and General U. S. Grant, the great chieftain of the age, was declared the omni mous choice of the men who had saved .the nation, as tbe Executiro to preserve end dnjiaister it for the next fopr years. ; The choice for Vice President was a war ded to our own State of Indiana in the person of Schaytcr Colfax. It was well aaid by the Cincinnati Coinmerciat that the nominations were judicious in many things, and especially in location, as Grant was born in the WeBt end resides a while Colfax was born in the East and resides West.' We of Indisna may well feel proud of the result, as it doubtless secures to us too loyal Republican U. S. Senators and the presiding oScer of tbe U. S. Senate after tbe 4th of March next With Grnt and Colfax, .with tea thousand Republican majority. . The pisiform, which we give in our columns this week, ia worthy of, and rep resents the wisdom and sagacity of the assembled party. In spirit and aubstance it is the same as that adopted by or State m a . . e Looveniioo, ana merits, as it win receive, the cordial aud unanimous approval of the country. In short, the Convention made no mis takes. It was a grand success in the choice 'of candidates, snd the avowal of principles sod measures, upon the success of which .depends the future happiness and permanency of tie Republic. Democratic Nominating Convention, The Democracy of this County held their Nominating Convention at the Court liouso in litis place on Saturday last. Jfsj. J. V. IletuusJiffur was chosen Chair. pun ind W, 11. Rucken Secretary. After the ppAiotwent of the usual Codi mit tees. Dr. George Berry of our town read manuscript i peuch replete with dogmatical assertion aod devoid of either facta or argument. The nominatiooa for the 'Legislature, Treasurer, Coroner, Surveyor abd Ileal Eatate Appraiser were all made nnanimou. in conformity to the wii-b of the party as expressed by ballot at the April eleetions. For Sheriff, Recorder and Cotaruiesiotier, neither of tbe candidates having received a majority of the rotes cast at the April ballot, the choice had to be settled by the Convention. After several unsuccessful ballots for Sheriff, a recess of fifteen minutes was taken, which enable! tbe Seal party to "wood up," and with increased steam aboard they carried the day triumphantly. It waa soon apparent that the German clement held the balance of power, end would dictate whatever terms desired by them. The creat sersonal nonularitv and i . j - acknowledged qualifications of John S. Martin all had to succumb to the intriguea and bargains requisite to satisfy the demands of Germania. The unanimous nomination of Mr. Moonuann for Treasurer, aod their special favorite Seal for Sheriff, it waa hoped aod thought would satisfy, them; but the indomitable Teutons, conscious of their power, and rogardleas of all policy, with no fear of native-born prejudices tcfore their eyca, still further demsnded the Recorder. Thsy liiötcd in solid column to the attack, and poor, but honest, faithful, competent, tripplcd Kerr was "snowed under1' fot the athletic, vigorous and youthful Ilauuiao. It made no matter with the "clique" that Mr. Kerr had received a, majority of Dearly Uro hundred of tho votes cut it (he April ballot over hi competitor, the Teu - ' tons mutt be conciliated, tho popular cxprcUiii had to be throttled, and Deuit'cracy if urned fur tbe titoo Icipjj, Evi tiiuat be done that ood to the party might vvuit fioui it. : II .4 IliaWr to rulura-l it it ii . a tfUth that the Germans hold tho power and wilt tenccfotth control tho offices of

our County. The young Democratic aspirants need no longer smoke a cob pipo and make regular pilgrimages to 8t. George of Urookville; the scepter hath departed, and the power and ita dispensation hereafter belongs to the chiefs of Highland, Butler, Ray and Salt Creek. How far the friends of Kerr and the opponents of Seal may sutler the popular will to be overridden, we will not predict, as the power of tbe

old dynasty hath deep root in the Demo oratio heart. , Judge Reld waa recommended for Con gress as the martyr to fall before the popu Mr wtir,"and Piatt Wicks of Grceösborg was also recommended for Circuit Prosccu tor. While Reid and Applegate of Con nersville amused a few of the faithful with anecdotes and billingggste, the masses re paired to the saloons to drink to the suc cess of the nominees, or drown their "sor rows aa the frienda of defeated favorites. Platform of the National Republican Party The National Republican party of the United States, assembled in National Con vention in the city of Chicago on the 20th day of May, 18CS, make the following declaration of principles: , 1 . We congratulate the country on the tJjirtu ,7cccss of the reconstruction poliey'of 'Üb"ügress,'"as evinced by the aaopiren in a majority oi too oiaiea iaiely in rebellion of constitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of the Government to sustsio tbcee institutions, and to pre vent the people of auch States from being remitted to state a or anarchy, (fjnecrs.) 2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men in the South waa demanded by every consideration of publio safety, of gratitude and justice, and must be maintained, while tbe question of suffrage in all the loyal Statea properly belongs to the people of those States. (Cheers.) 3. We denounce all forma of repudiation as a national crime (Prolonged Cheers,) and our national honor requires the payment of the publio indebtedness in the utmost good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit of the laws under which it wascontracted. (Applause.) .4. It is due to the laborer of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the national, faith will permit. 5. The national debt, contracted as it has been for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be extended over a fair period for redemption, and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon whenever it can honestly be done. C. That the bent policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay and must continue to pay as long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or suspected. 7. Tho government of tbe United Statea should be administered with the strictest economy, and the corruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by 'Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical reform. 8. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragio death of Abraham Lincoln, and regard aa a national calamity the asctintiou of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected hitn and to the cause he was pledged to support has usurped high legislative and judicial functions; has refused to execute the laws; has used his high t (Dee to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; has employed his executive powers to render iosccure the property, liberty and life of Citizen; his abused tbe pardoning power; has denounced the national legislature aa unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly resisted, by every measure in bia power, every proper attempt at tho reconstruction of the Slates lately in rebellion; lias perverted the public patronage into an covins of wholreal corruption; and has Lcsn justly impeached for , high crimes and misdemeanors and properly pronounced guilty thereof by the votes of thirty üvo Senators. 9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European powers that because a an is once a subject ho is always so, must be reaisted at every, haiurd by the United States as a relic of tho feudal times, and ia not authorised by tho law oi nations, aud is at war with our national power and independence; that naturalized citizena are entitled to bo protected in all their rights of citizenship as though they were native born, and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liablo to arrest and imprisonment bv any foreign power for acta done or words spoken in this couutrv, and if arrested nd imprisoned it ih the duty of the Gov ernment to interfere in his behalf. 10. Of all who were faithful in the trials of tho lato war, there were nono cn titled to more especial honor than the bravo soldiers and icatneii who endured the harJaliipr of campaign and cruixe, and imperiled their lives in the service of the country. The bounties and pensiona provided by law for (hose brave defenders of a natiou are obligations never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans of the gallttiit dead are the wards ot the people; a sacred legacy bequeathed to the uation's protecting euro. 11. Foreign emigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth; and development of the resources, and to the increase of the power of this nation the as)lum of the oppressed cf all nationsshould be fustcred aud encouraged by a just and liberal policy. i.i 'i' i : - .... . : .t-..!.

Immediately after hearing the result of the vote in the Senate on Tuesday Secretary Stanton issued the followiog order to Adjutant General Townaend: 1 " War Dxpartmknt, Washington Citt,) May 26, 1868. f G inebal You will take charge of the War Department and books, and papers, archives and publio property belonging to the same, subject to the disposal and direction of the President Signed Edwin M. Stanton, ' Secretary of War. Brevet Major General E. D. Townseod, A.A.O. ... .. After directing the same tobe delivered to Gen. Townsend, ho addressed the following letter to the President, and then at the close of office hours for the day, withdrew from the War Department, and weot to his residence: 4Wab Department, f'WAsnNQTON Citt, May 26, 18C8.J "Sib Tbe resolution of the Senate of the United States of the 21st February last, declaring that the President has no power to remove tbe Secretary of War and designate any other officer to perform the duties of that office ad interim, having this day failed to be aupported by twothirds of the Senators present and voting on tbe articles of impeachment preferred against you by the House of Representatives, I have relinquished charge of tho War Department, and hare left the came, and the books, archives, papers aod property heretofore in my custody as Secretary of War, in care of Xlrevet Maj. General Townsend, the senior Ast. Adj. General, subject to direction. Signed, Edwin M. Stanton, 'Secretary of War. "To the President of the United States." Impeachment. The Senate was called to order by the Chief Justice at noon on Tuesday. An attempt was made, which proved unsuccessful, to carry so adjournment until June 23d. It waa then determiued to take a vote on the second article of impeachment. The vote stood 35 for conviction and 19 for acquittal, there being no change la the position of any Senator from the vote on the eleventh article. A vote was then taken ou the third article, with precisely the same result, after which the Court ad journed sine die. Nothing waa done in the subsequent session of the Senate, ex cept the making of personal explanations by Trumbull, Fessenden, and others. Popular Vote. We have, after much trouble, obtained a full popular voto of the county, as ex pressed by tbe Democrats of the county on the Cth day of April. We present them below: For Reeorder, William II. Kerr, - - 1120 t A. Bau man, ..... C29 Franklin Democrat. How if it, brother Democrat, that after the popular vote was 491 majority in favor of W. II. Kerr, the crippled, worthy and experienced candidate for Recorder, that the young, healthy and inexperienced Dauman waa nominated? Your Conven tion did not have even tbe discreditable cxcujc often made by the Democracy of th's County that he waa crippled in fight ing rebels. Had tho clique anything to do with it? Does Democracy austaiu such otter contempt of tho popular will as was displsyed by your Convention in this instance? Nomination for Vioe President. Below we present our readen will) a statement exhibiting the result of the several ballots for Vice resident ia tho late National Republican Convention: ' First ballot-Colfax 115, Wado 119, Fen too 132, Hamli n 30, Curtio 52, Wilson 119, Crcsswell 11, Speed 22, Kelly 0, Harlan 1G. Second ballot Colfax 149, Wade 170, Feutoo 140, Hamlin 30, Curtin 45, Wilson 113. Third ballot-Colfax 1CI, Wade 178, Fenton 139, Hamlin 25, Wilson 101. Fourth ballot-Colfax 18G, Wado 201, Fentou 144, Hamlin 25, Wilson 87. Fifth ballot-Colfax 522, Wade 42, Fenton 75, Wilson 11. Congressional. Mr. Woolley was before the bar of the House on Tuesday, and in response to inuiriee by the Speaker, submitted two papers prepared by his counsel, each of them being of an evasive nature. He wis ordered uuder arrest until he purged himself of contempt. Impeachmeut. After taking votes on two artiolos of im pcachmcnt, yesterday, with the same result as in the vote ou the elovontli article, the Senate adjourned tint JU. We preferred that they should finish the matter ou the day whoo the vote was taken on the eleventh article. We had no expectation of any favorable change in the result by delay. Time has worked against impeachmeut ever since the trial began. It has given opportunity for tho plying of all the weakening and corrupting influence. We had no expectation of a ohange favorable to conviction by outside pressure, uor would a conviction, ptocured by a change in the minds of Senatora by auch means, from vtbat they pretend to be their conscientious convictions, and from their verdict in that shallow imposition which is called their "judicial capacity," havo -a good effect. Impeachment is now closed. 1 Thirtyfive Senator, acting undor the solemnity of their duty to the nation in this grand national ' inquest Into the misconduct of the Acting President, have judged him guilty of crimes and iiiisdouteanors for which be should t devrsded tVout office.

Gazette. ; , , , SPEECHES AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. SPIECU Or GENERAL KIMBALL, Of , lit DIANA. Gentlemen: I appear before you to-night to tnank you with all my hears xor me indorsement this Stato and the United States of America have given thia day to our clonoua son.-hchuvler Lollax. come to vou aa a Colfax man from In diana. But we brine Colfax as a man be loved all over this land, while your noble State of Illinois civea us Grant, who con quered the rebels in the South. (Appause and cries of ,4cood." I know Orant and I know Colfax, and with these true men as our leaders the glorious Republi can party of this nation will go before tbe world not on!v before thia Union but before the world, with their principles Id scribed upoo their banners, betöre which traitors and the ungodly bhsll fall down in tbe dust, while our mighty hosts of liberty shall march on in tnumun. (Ureat appiause.j me rigni win iriumpn; ana when that glorious son of Illinois, backed by our noble son of Indiana and tbe loyal people of this great nation, shsll march against tho trsitorous Democracy, aa they did against the traitora in tbe South, that God that cauacd victorv to perch upon their banner then, will lead them to victory again, and all the hosts of bell will be driven into dismay. (Renewed and vociferous appluse.) While Grant, with you, my country men, was fighting rebels in the South, Colfax waa fighting ogainst treason in tbe ball of legislation; and when Grant asked for more men and more money, Colfax said, "here is your money and here are your men to whip the rebels with." (Cheers.) The same traitors that we had to fight then, we have to fight now. Gentlemen, I am not a speaker, I never made a speech in my life worth a cent. (Laughter and voices, "go on, you are doing very well now.") But whether Indianians csn speak or not, I have seen them fight like the devil. (Renewed laughter.) And one thing I remember, while you and I were fighting in the South, certain men in the North opposed us, and when we asked for men, they said, not a man; and whan we asked for money, they said, not a dollar. They gave ua neither men or money, and tried to depreciate tbe money of our Government, our greenbacks. Rat, thank God, the American soldiery has made good tbe greenbacks. And now does it not beat Satan himself, that a Democrat should announce himself in fa. vor of greenbacks? (Laughter.) Who made greenbacks worth anything? It was the soldiers of the Union who made them valuable, and, by the graco of God, the soldiery and American people intend to make them as good as gold. (Cheers.) We intend to stand by tbe plighted faith of the nation. We intend to stand by our greenbacks snd our bonds. For one, I never intend, as long as I live, to say. I am a dishonest man. 1 never intend to ao dirgrace myself, as not to be willing to fight for the flag of my country. I never intend to so dishonor myself as to be bowed down by tbe chains of traitors and refuso to sustain tie integrity of the Union. (Applause.) If I desired to do this, if I wanted traitors to have the power in our Government, I would put the affairs of thia Nation into the hands of the Democracy. (Laughter), If there is a man here to-night that would not be willing to muster uoder Grant and Colfax, and is iu favor of the principles advocated by tho Dcuioeratio party, he ought to have been in tho rebel army. (Laughter and voices, 'certainly,' 'that'aso.') Rut curse their infernsl cowardly hearts, they never would rally to the atari and Mripe, but CrnjeJ for the, urcesa of the atara and urs. Rut that God, who was the God of the Israelites, was the God of the American people. Ho accompanied our host., aod in the bour of battle was with us aod we conquered. (Applause.) Our trust is in that God who ia still with us to day, and we will conquer. Ho ia marching now the hosts of this people who are in favor of tbe vglt. lie oud wo American people havo this day chosen Grant and Joll'ax to be our Joshua and our Moses. (Loud and long continued applause.) Under their lead we will bring the host of God from bondage to liberty, and will lead them into the Caunan of prosperity and happiness. Rut wo mean to remember that unfaithful Moses, (Loud laughter and voice, "Ho is in a Rull rush now," renewed and uproarious laughter.) lie promised to be the Moes of the blacks, but when he marched to the borders of the sea and the vratcra became troubled, that man became nervoua, and deserted them, bo, when the cowardly hosts, who may fiht us, come to tho watcr'a edge, in November next, they will find that the hosts under Grant and Colfax will pua over dry shod; but when they attempt to pass through, the watera will clo.se together and engulf them. (Laugh tcr and cheers.) Now, my countrymen, I want you to remember another thing. Whether native born or foreign born, it matters not to mo, you have taken an oath to support the Constitution snd laws of tho United Ststcs. An attempt has been made to destroy that Constitution and tho-e laws. Who did it? Not tho Republicans. Not you oan not find a Republican, blaok or white, in America, but would bare his btea't and resolve to die in defense of the Constitution and laws. Aooording to our Constitution, tbe President ia to cxecuto tho laws made by the representatives of the people. This tho President that Moses of the colored people refused to do. This Mosoa haa gooe over to the hosts of Pharaoh; ho has gouo with rebels and traitors, and would elevate them to powor, and would trample tho loyal hosts under his feet. 11a begun with one Moses of tho present day. Ho denounced our Grant as a liar, but glory bo to God the American people ssy Grant is true and faithful. (Voioea "Hear, hear.") The loyal peoplo, with thirty-five of their I'tnuton, have given a verdict against Andrew Jchnsoo, while nineteen vun, nineteen men of Amerioa )iuke.d hand to hand and heart to heart

with tratora, say Johnson is innocent.

Why, the God of America, who is a God of justice, has glvn us tbe victory by tbe verdict of tne nineteen, for we will go before the peopbj who are ever honest, and whS will always crush corruption. (Cheers.') In November tbe greet battle will be fought, and traitors and their accursed treason will' be vanquished and loyalty will triumph. ' Next November Grant will he elevated to the seat of power, with Colfax aa his right hand and left hand bower, and a voice will go out, "Glory, hallelujah to the Almighty on high,' and peace and good' will- to man shall prevail. (Applause.) , . . . . I told you I waa no talker, fou have got auch men as Logan and Palmer to talk to you, and what can I say to you, intelligent men and women in thia country? (Voices, 4You have said well;" "go on, go on.") The history of the patt is engraven on your hearts, and when you look at it you can not surely cast your voto for those who brought treason and war upon us. You can not forget the death of our sons, the moaning of the widows and the wailing of the thousands of orphans they have caused. The principles for which our sons fought must be sustained and proclaimed all over this land. (Voice, "Three cheers for old Nat. Kimball, the first man who ever whipped Stonewall Jackson." Three hearty cheers were given.) My friends, old .Nat -Kimball didn't do it; it was your Illinois and Indiana boys that did it. (After referring at some length to the valor of the soldiers at the battle of Winchester and others, the speaker thus concluded.) Go forth to your duty ss your soldiers did, and if you do your duty, God will blcis you, and victory will come to the standard of Urant and Colfax, and tho people of this land will have good laws and liberty, and peace and prosperity will again prevail all over tbe land. (Applause.) , 6PEECI1 OF JOIINM. LAHCISTON (COLORED.) Lantston said he deemed himself more than fortunate that he had the pleasure of . . . I. ... . i. m i . appearing ueiore me audience, ine only reason bia friend had in introducing him, and for the audience calling upoo him, was that he would give coloring to the proceedings. The time waa when they loved to court the voice and voteof the Irishman, and when they loved to draw on tbe vote of tbe German citisens; but, thanks to God and Grant, they now called on the negro for his. In appesring before them he waa not uomidful of thejact that be represented four millions of people who never pro duced a traitor. Rebels in America were not dressed in America, and if tbey had curly hair, owed it td the barber. He also represented 500000 negro voters who knew no religion but Christ, and in politics, Grant and the Republican party. Wherever the negro voted, he gave his ballot as be did his voice for the party that stood on the Rihle, the Constitution and the Chicago platform. Again, be represented more than 200,000 black men, who, in the hour of peril, iu the battle between North and South, joined the Union army to vindicate justice and liberty against slavery. If there waa a man in that country who could represent a constituency with a record more honorable than his. be would like to see him. Though blaek, his constituency waa in all things American. Tbey all stood upon the Rible and tho Constitution, for slavery never sought refuge in the New Testament of love. Slavery leaps the barriers. Its asylum is iu sepulchre from heat into the devouring flame, and from the voice of God into the thickest of ita thunders. In tbe District of Columbia there is no slavery; in no State is there slavery to interfere. And he had the honor to hem? General Palmer when he announced that slavery was dead in the State of Kentucky. He wanted, to-dav, in tbe Convention, to get up and tell how he told the people of Kentucky that slavery was abolished, lie held a cigar in his hand and said it cost fifteen cents, and he would give fifteen ctnts for the cause of slavery in that taic He tendered, tu the name or all tho r urtoes, to General 1'alraer, their ckDowledguianrs for the freedom of Kentucky. Tbe chains that were put round the limbs of the ne gro, were, ia the proviJeuce of God, put around the limbs if whites. Ha rejoiced to-day that all men have free speech, free thought and free locomotion. Tbe moment, formerly, that Hack men arrived iu Charles ton tbey were sold. Slasaacbuaetts waa a uDovtd at this indignity to its citizens, and sent Mr. Hoar to look after its rights there; but tbe Southern people told him to leave or thev would ride him on a rail. What ought he to have done? lie ought to have told tbcm that he was an American citizen, and, in tho name of his God and country, he would deny their light to drive him away. Rut ho told them very politely he would ohoy their orders. If you turn over the statute books of the State of Louisiana, you will find: "No man shall use in any placo any word tending to create rebellion among the slaves." The preacher, under this law, could not preach tho doctrinea of the bible, nor the politician quoto the glorious words of the Declaration of Indepeudenco. Tho lawyer in that State woro a padlock on his lips. Now he rejoiced in the emancipation of his brother attorneys in Louisiana, and if they would elect Grant such padlock would never be heard of agaiu. The negroes naturally took the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence as they did tbe Rible. If he could gather from tbone documenta a legal interpretation he would ask for no change in it, for they were made wide enough to cover the liber ty of every man, white and black. He could bring in opinions from scoros of judges, snd among them that of a man once a slaveholder, Judge Gaston. Somo day tho American peoplo, as represented by the grest Republican party, would socept that doctrine. Tho negro desired to seethe great American neatt beating in unhon with the spirit of the fathers That they might see it, they joined the Republican party aod pledged it all their power and influence in the South to secure tho eleotioo of Grant and Colfax, and make the country a pure and holy democracy. He would ask white men from all quarters to to aa true, and earnest, and indefatigable aa the negroes. If they were, when November came, they would ratify the action of the country. If not, God preserve the negroes. lie bad been introduced as coming from Louisiana, but he waa a Virginian, a detoendent of the F. F. V.'s, but an adopted citixona of Ohio, where the dead political . carcase of the Democratic, party weighed them down, and wkere he, and others of his color were bow denied tbe privilege of voting becauso

they did not vote for tbe Democrats. The ' rnurts. fhOfl?h. woeld declara it nrrnn-!

i m i ... inl at ; sriten ot nicf. gov. lii, oronio. Fellovo citizent: I am here before you in the capacity , of Speaker, very much against my will. I came here for another purpose, but have been compelled to make an unconditional surrender; for you know this was a day of unconditional surrender. Ohio started in the contest today with old Den. Wade aa the nominee of the Vice Presidency, while other Statea began the fight with their chosen leaders. Rut we had not Waded in long until we were compelled to an unconditional aür render. We surrendered, however, gracefully, and are ready to take off our Wade garments and put on tbe Grant and Colfax garments, and, shouldering our mus kets, to make common battle againat a common enemy. Cheers. On the oth of July next, down in New York, the Democratic party will nominate candidates for President and Vice Presi dent. Rut whoever tbey aball be, they are destined to hare their works moved upon by Ulysses 8. Grant and Schuyler Colfax, and tbe result will be that on tbe second Monday ai November' oext perhaps tbe day ia wrong, but no difference in November next they will be compelled to aurrender and be put in captivity for four years. Applause. And what is more, as the honor of such men is not lobe relied upon, and we will not rely upon such doubtful honor, we will not only take them captive, but will turn them over into the prisoner's cam p. Voice "Give tbem a taste of Andersoovillel" I Yes, give them a touch of Anderionville or Saulsbury, with two and a half ounces of food per dsy. Laughter. Fellow eitiiena, it ia not becoming id na to-night to discuss tbe principles of the conflict between the two parties. You are not here for that purpose. You are here for the purpose of a glorification a splendid object, and I trust you will not be diverted iroui it. When Gen. Grant was nominate! today, and the people were made aware of the fact that the simple ceremony bad been performed of formally declaring the fact which tbej had Ibr'ruontba previous determined should be done; and when that beautiful tri eolorid dove, repreaenting tbe wbite,red and blue flew from the gal lery through the entire length of that hall, lighting near the curtain which rose, displaying a full-sited likeness of our matchless caodiJate, presented there by Ibe Goddess of Liberty, aud that inscription tibove him, "Match him," it waa a scene ao wonderful, so sublime, aa to beggar all description. Should 1 live to the age of Methuselah, I should never forget that occasion. I have witnessed the glorious achievements of General Grant in the field, and seo him iu my mind's eye as he moves on the enemy's works at Vicksburg and other placea. 1 have seeuhnu iu hia great military triumphs, but wheulsa him nominated here for the Presidency, by the representatives of ao many millions of free people, and when the likeness of that great man waa to day caught by the eyes of that vast assembly which was thrown into one wilderness of exiiittceii, I lully realized that he was iüiieed the ebosen captain of the people of thia country, as he will be eure to be their President. (Great applause.) Schuvler ColJax was nominated for Vice President. When the rough mountains were msde and the ribbed hills were form ed, it was necesssry also that there should be spread out on earth a carpet of green, which should be decked with beautiful diadems aod flowers of loveliness; so when the rougher form of tl e iiou-ntrved Grant is chosen aa our leader, it is fitting that wo should link with him the beautiful, tbe accomplished man in the person of Schuyler Colfax the honored son of Indiaba, tbe honored sou of us American people aa a nation, li e type of patriotism and elegaiiCe, who will piide with a gree, a dignity, aud sn energy that hss been unknown in the Senate of the United States. Applauae. All 1 have to rav, now, is that these two gentlemen are iu nomination, aud that every uian xbould gird bimoelf lor the conflict, hould sting bis knapsack upou hia back, ahoulder bia uuke, and be sure to take along plenty of atnunitiou, and wherever you come across the enemy make sure work in your attacks upon their bulwarks. And what, is more, draw a kad so that yon shall see tho white of their eye, aud when you fire, fire for tbe eye. Lsughter Fellowocuisena: There are other gentlemen here that are to address you. Among these is a gentleman whom 1 have long been familiar with, and of whom I can say I have never known him to speak well of copperheads, or ill of Republicans. 1 mean General Gibson, of Ohio, lie knows your gallant boys of Illinois and Indiana, for he haa fought by their side, aud I now give place to him. Stanton Out. In February laat, on the appointment of Geo. Thomas Secretary of War ad interim, the Senato voted that the President had no right, under the Constitution aud laws of the United Statea, to remove Mr. Stanton. This was voted for by ev ery Republican present, except Mr. l.d founds, and tho aQlrmative vote included Trumbull. Ross and others, whoso coo sciences have lately had an awakeniog. Thereupon the Houso impeached Johnson at the bar of the Senate, where be was tried, snd by the votes of Trumbull, Ross, Fosse o den, Henderson, Van Winkle, Fowler and Grimes, tbe Democratio atrength sgainst conviction was increased to nineteen, which being one more thau one-third of the Seustors present and voting, he was declared not gudty, and the "MigU Court of Impeachment 'presided over with auch matchless dignity by the Chief Justice, that a flutter of ladies' sweet-smelling handkerchiefs, iu the galleries, i t ap. probation of anything ou tho aide of the itiipcacbers, waa sufllcient to disarrange his nervoua system this Court adjourned without dsy. This result being announced, the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of the Department of War, immedi ately iasusd an order directing Adjutant General Townsend to tske possession of the War otuce, with all the appurtenances thereunto belonging, subject to the orders of the President, followed by a letter addressed to the President of tbe United States advising him of thia action. Thia done, Mr. Stanton, at . tbe close of the business day, took leave of tbe War office and retired to his privste residence.' Thus, while though the President stands technically acquitted by the Senate, he haa secured the further triumph over Stanton

stitution . ' - laws, which those highly cor.:;ir.;- ; ; a, trill, judicial winda, Trurlull, T .;, & Co., under the solemnity t." a jciil oath, declared he had violated. No men served the country core fi;h fully, aod with greater ability, than Rd- : i l.' . . n . wiu ai. ckamoD. Aie was not wuaout fsults. ' Injustice he did on tasav occa sions; but his aim always was to sdvsoce tbe public rather than private i ate rests, and therefore his comparatively few failings may readily be forgotten, while we remember hia many virtues. His position, during the most try Id; dsya of the Republic, while It waa one of great and pressing resporuiiilitifi, wts also one that involved the expenditure of immense auma of mooey. He could safe ly have stolen millions, had he been ao disposed; but, ooth withstanding bis many ana bitter enemies, tbe charge of corruption has never been seriously made agaiost him. And be sow leaves the See with millions of fraudulent claims peodiag, which bis watchfulness and integrity stopped in tbeii course, and the records of hi.- cfiicc will show that millions Usi des were saved to the people by the firmaesa with whjch, throughout bis ofScial career, ho set his face sgainst all classes of publio plunderer. How brightly must the name of honest Staate-appear io the history that has been .ri:teu within the last lew 'jesrSj and tUt b ccf being made, of corruption ii 11 pUcos, high and low. And now I Lit the people have come to believe justly, too that io connection with the aSkirs of the Government robbery is tbe rule aad honesty tbe ex ceptioji, the time ia at hand whets suck men ss Stanton will be appreciated, rt apected and honored. Now the vultures will swarta around the War ofüce, and the claim-holders will stand equal with the whisky ring io the business of robbiog the publie treasury. Thia is another calamity which the liepublican party tried to prevent, and ooly tailed became it was opposed by Democratio Senatora aod monsy. The responsibility rests with those Republican ten tora who weot over to tbe enemy, said there let it rest, while tbe people re-try the whole case at the bar of publio opinion, and bring in their verdict through court higher than tbe Senate. This verdict, we may be sure, will not acquit the men who have betrayed their country, slandered their conscience, aod are now parties to tbe wide spread corruption which is depleting the treasury, robbing' the peoplo, and deuityaliziug society.
