' Vormi'd iu lAue of Haltle! Tlie two wings of the Abolition party are now formed in line of battle against each other, and the party that so clamorously de manded but "one party" has itself split in two parties! Fremont and Cochrane head the wing of the party of tho li Outs," while the Rail .splitter of Sangamon county, Illi nois, old Abe Lincoln heads tho parry ofthe "Iits." The Abolition party is widly demoralized and divided, and it is some what amusing to read the lamentations of the faithful and listen to the curses of Lin coln's office-holders.' The latter now have double duty to perform. Following suit with Lincoln they are abusing Fremont as a "bespattered Reformer," and we expect they will case up a little on the ''Copper heads" now that they have a fight in their own family. We have no sympathy with either faction in' this fight but we do think that Fremont, who in 18ff was worshipped by our republican fellow-citizens, is Infinite ly the superior of Lincoln in talent and all the qualities that pertain to a public man. 2!l,COO Men. Adjutant General Cowen has made a cal culation, based upon reliable data, and finds that Ohio, since the comnicnctTnent of the rebellion, has sent into tho field two hun dred and ninety one thousand men, includ ing the National Guard. This is indeed an inimen.-! number, one-half of ich has been killed, wounded and disabledand dis missed. This is a sad record, and shows a want of foresightedness in the Abolition politicians who claimed in 18GI that the re bnllion could be put down by 73,000 men, and a commentary on Abraham Lincoln who declared that he was about to enter upon a war, but that "nobody would be hurt," Ohio can lie proud of the gallantry of her sons on the battle-field. She has furnished about as many men as the entire New Keg land States,' yet she is relentlessly conscript ed wwile the Yankees escape filling their full quotas! Ohio furnishes the fighting men New England has all the contracts, plunder, &c. Of course, the New Engend ers are iu favor of war so long as we furnish the men and they make the money! A Change. The man who does not see that a great re action is going on in the minds of the people against ths present Administration is either blinded by partitm litem or is an indifferent observer of what is going on about him. The people are sick and tired of tho jokes of Abraham Lincoln, and demand Statesman ship. The follies and extravagance of his Administration are such as to disgust many honest men of his own party, who will eith er vote for Fremont, or join the old Demo cratic nartv. who want a man at the head of the Nation who will administer the laws im partially, will protect the rights of citizens, enforce the Monroe doctrine, and seek a speedy peace, upon an honorable basis. Thi.t there will ho a cJi'ittfe, this fall, in the Na tional Administration seems now to be a fix ed fact. It is right, too, for it is unsafe to trust such a man as Lincoln, with hundreds of millions of patronage, with the Adminis tration of tho Government for four years longer. If he is re-elected no man born can foretell the sad fate of our distracted coun try. Thp Knormous Taxation. Everything that we cat, drink and wear has increased fabulously in price, and if our currency continues to expand in the future as in the pat, the jor people of the country will be in a btato of destitution certainly .alarming. ..'The taxation of the people is enormous, fur they aro taxed on everything oither directly or indirectly. They arc taxed in a hundred different ways. They will pay their National Tax in July, which will be from three to five per cent. During the present' month they must pay one-half th'jir State and County Taxes, while in December they will be called upon again for additional instalhnents largely increased. Wo say it is time that the people manfully protest against the extravagance of the Abolition party. Let the farmers, mechanics, and laboring men of the country rise - in their strength at the ballot box, and hurl from place the plunder-mongers who arc reveling with their ill gotten gains. teyTho Wayne County Democrat insists on dividing the Republicans into classes; 1st, the Black' Republicans, led hy Fremont in favor of negro equality ; 21, the Red Re publicans, led byCha.se &Cu., after gold, greenbacks and blood, and, 3d, the Blind Republican",' led by Lincoln, who are con tinually running the government against stone walls, over precipices, and head-long toward perdition. - ' " W3U If a tnan gets in your debt and then only pays you 55 cents on the dollar, you would hardly trust him again.

LI lTtll TO OKM.RAL lilLiJoST. Ni.w YouitJune 3. (iKsniAL: A (i.iivi-iitli.n of the people Mtting ut the city of Cleveland, in the Siatc of Ohm, .n the 31 st day of May, lsii4, have nominated you unanimously and by acclamation as n candidate for I 'resident of the l.'nitud State. The conventit n have appointed us their committee, with instructions to coniiuiini nirnte to you the result, of their nomination and to us your acceptance of tho nomina tion. Iu discharging; this duty the committee need hardly inform yon, General, that the convention which has thus put you in nomi nation for the office of l'rcsident, represen ted that great mass of the nation which hol.l in practice as well as in theory to two fundamental doctrines of its founders, that all men have tho inn!ii n:iliK' tight to lile, property, and the pursuit of happiness, and that slavery and caste are incompatible with its enjoyment, and ought not to be suffered to i'XI.-t. Tlii convention, true to its faith in the common biotheihood of mnn mid' of gov ernment by all the people for all the people, adopted a series of resolutions which the committee submit for your consideration, going iu some sense to express the views which they hold in unison with those of the radical democracy of the nation upon sonic of the main issues to be tried before the people at the coming presidential election. That they do not cover specially every point of the political faith of the radical de mocracy of the country, or do not define perhaps as sharply as they might have lieen v.imle to do, the radical views of the con vention upon the subjects presented, is, af ter all, of little importance, for the rgisou that the illustrious nominee of the conven tion for President is the living embodiment of all its principles of Government and civil and military administration which has called into being the polical organization that he hasjiifit made you, general, its standard bearer. Your own high character for fidelity to the'equal rights of all the people, and the signal proofs you have given to the world of the possession of the .statesmanship and wisdom necessary to govern well and justly and of the generalship go sorely needed to carry the war to a quick and triumphant is sue, are a better guartniity that the princi ples you represent will not be betrayed, should the nation elevate you to its chief magistracy, than any written profession of political faith, however cunningly drawn and gravely accepted, with intent to be broken. But the convention, in what they have done, have substantially covered the whole ground of the politieal faith of the Democ racy, iu asserting the necessity for re-establishing the supremacy of the Federal Union; for the faithful execution of the laws of the U. S. for maintaining the liberties of person, speech, and press except when suspended hy martial law : for suppressing the rebel lion by force of arms and without compro mise ; tor amending the Constitution so as to abolish and prohibit slavery forever in the United States, and securing to all men ab solute equality before the law; for integrity and economy in the administration of the National Government; for upholding the rights of asylum, except for crime and of fences against international law ; for the vin dication of the Monroe doctrine, by declar ing anew the determination of the Ameri can people not to tolerate the setting up of any anti-Republican Government on this continent by any foreign power ; for insist ing upon applying the one term principle to the office of President, and .amending the Constitution, so as to provide for the elec tion of that officer by a direct vote of the whole people ; for restricting tho power of reconstructing rebellious Statcs to the people through their representatives in Congress; and for confiscating the lands of rebels, and distributing them among the soldiers and actual settlers. What these principles would menu in practice the convention fully declared, Gen eral, when they put you upun them as their candidate for President, for they knew and the country knows, that you will, if elected, faithfully carry them out to all their logical sequences without fear or favor, and give the country an administration of public affairs, that will command the affections of the whole people and restore it to its former high place iu the scale of nations. I'ciwips we ni'ii best illustrate the temper of lite rmirent.hu hu referring you to the let ter of Mr. Wendell Phillips, the reading of which was ordered and received with a storiji of applause. Wo feel authorized to declare it as our opinion, that had it been offered as a platform of the priuciiles of rortrnment and administration, it iroiihl little been adoted with the same tumultuous applause as that which hailed your nomination. Its master ly exposition of the needs of the country in this dark crisis of its existence and strug gles for continued life is a fitting commenta ry upon the purpo.-cs of the convention, and we recommend it to your consideration as a part of their deliberations. And now, General having discharged the duty imposed on us by the convention, we trust you will favor us with an early reply, sinuif'viriir your acceptance -of the nomina tion, in ovdor that the radical democracy of the North whoso hearts have already been thrilled with joy at the tiding that their he roic leader in the campaign of 1830 has been summoned to the field again, may bear his clarion voice rallying -them to victory and the salvation of the republic.

Gentlemen: In answer to the letter, which I have had the honor to receive from you, on the part of the representatives of the people assembled at Cleveland, the 31st of May, I desire to express my thanks for the confidence which led them to offer nie the honorable and difficult position of their can didate in the approaching presidential elec tion. . . Veryimnorablo, liecausc in offering it to me, you net in the name of a great number of citizens, who seek above all thiol's the .good of their country, and who have no sort ui seuisii liiierest iu it;w. vry uuuuuji., because in accepting the candidacy you pro pose to mo, I ant exposed to the reproach of creating a schism in the party with which I have lieen identified. Had Mr. Lincrla remained faithful to the principle he kux defied In defend, no schism could have been created And no contest would have been possible. This is not an ordinary election ; it is a contest for the right ovenito havo candidates, and not merely, as usual, for the choice among them. Now for the first time siuce 1770, the question of consti tutional liberty ha been brought directly before the people for their scrioiw consider ation and vote. The ordinary riaht nwured uwUr, the Conrtitutiim and the laws of tho country htve been violated and extraordinary foireri hare befit usurped by the Kxeetttivi. t is directly before the jieople ;iow to say whetheror not the principles established by the revolution are worth maintaining. . If, as we. have been taught to believe, those guarantees for liberty which vade tho distinctive name and glory of our country, are in truth, inviolably sowed,' then there must bci.a protost against the arbitrary vio lation which had not vrti tl.o excuse of ne cessity. 1 lie icliisui is nii.d.-b ti:o-i'ttho limi; the choice b.-tven a fh.iliieful itvnce or a jiiotci-t again. t wiojttr.

An :iiuoni -tratioii marked at home by ui-ivtMrd ut'ctin stiiutlonal rights, by its violation oi person al liberty and the liberty of the press, and, as a crow ning shame, by it abandonment of the r'tubt of asylum, a right-especially dear to all free nations abroa'd, its course has been characterized bv a fccblenos and want of principle which has misted luropoeaii powers and driven them to a belief that on ly commercial interests and personal aims are concerned, aud that no great jirinciples are involved iu the i.-sue. The admirablccon duct of the people, their rondines to make every sacrifice demanded of them, their for bearance and .silence under the suspcn.-iou of even-thing that could be suspended, llicir many acts of heroism and sacrifices, were all rendered fruitless by the incapacity, or. to speak more exactly, by the ju rsonal aids for u liirh tlni war mus nianiiied. The inca pacity and selfishness naturally produced siah results as led the European j tower, mid logically enough, to the conviction that the. North., with it.s great, superior popula tion, its immense resources, ami its credit, will never bo able to coerce the South. Sympathies which should have been with ns from the outset of this war wcie turned against ns. and in this way the Administra tion has done the country a double wrong abroad. It created hostility, or at best in difference, among those who would have been its friends if the real intentions of the people could have been better known, while at the same time it neglected no occa sion for lnuking the most humiliating con cessions. Against this disastrous condition of af fairs the Cleveland Convention was a pro test. . The principles which form the basis of its platform have my unqualified and cordial approbation, but I cannot so heartily con cur in all tho measures which you propose. J. do not believe that etinfiseation, extended to the propertu of all rebels, is praetieable : and if it were so. 1 do not think it a measure of sound policy. It is, in fact, a question be loiisiiisr to the noorde themselves to decide. and is a proper occasion for the exercise of their original ami sovereign authority. A? a war measure, in the begining of a revolt, which might r.o quelled hy prompt seventy, 1 understand the policy of confiscation ; but not as a final measure of reconstruction after the suppression of mi insurrection. In the adjustments which are to follow peace, no consideration of vengeance can consistently be admitted. The object of the war is to make perman ently secure the peace and happiness of the whole country, an d there was but a single element in the way of it attainment. This element of slarery may he. considered prac tically destroyed in the country, and it needs only your proposed amendment of the Con stitution, to make its extinction complete. With this extinction of slavery the party divisions created by it have also disappear ed. And if in the history of tho country there has ever been a time when the Ameri can people, without regard to one or ano ther of the political divisions, were called upon to give solemnly their voice in a mat ter which involved the safety of the United States, it is assuredly the present time. If the convention at Jialtimore uill nomin ate any mail whose past life justifies a vell froitnded confidence in his fidelity to onr cardinal principles, there, is no reason, u hy there should be tiny (tu ition among the. really patriotic men of the country. To any such I shall bo most happy to give a cordial and active support. My own decided preference is to aid in this way, and not to be myself a candidate. But if Mr. Lincoln, sluiuld be. nominated, as I believe he will, it would be. fatal lo the country to indorse a policy and renew a power, w hich has cost us the lives of thou sands of men and needlessly put the country on the.road to bankruptcy, there will re main no other alternative but no organize against him eery element of opposition with the viejv to preveut tho niu-lbrtune of his re-ehk'tion. . - ' . ,' '.", In this contingency, I accept tho nomina tion at Cleveland, nnd as a preliminary step. J hare resigned my commission in the army. This was a sacrifice it gave -.pain to make. But I had for a long time fruitlessly endeav ored to obtain service. I make the'sacrifice now only to regain liberty of speech, and to leave nothing in the. way of discharging to my utmost ability the task you have set for me. W ith my earnest and sincere thanks for your expressions of confidence and regard, and for the many honorable tcims in w hich you acquaint me with the actions of the committe, I am, gentlemen.

General: The convention sitting at Cleveland, the 31st ultimo, having unani mously nominated you as tho candidate of the Iiadicul Democracy for Vice Piesident of the United States; on the ticket with John C. Ereniont as their candidate for President, have deputed us as their com mittee to connnuuicate to you the result of their deliberation, and to ask of you the acceptance of the nomination. Wo need not tell you, General, of the ra dical character of that convention, for you were its worthy presiding officer j nor need we refer particularly to the resolutions which were adopted as the basis of the new politi cal organization which the necessities of the times have called into being. You know them all; and your outspoken indorsement of the positions taken by the convent ion as well as your eminent love of freedom through a long career of public usefulness, won for you that confidence of the convention which resulted in selecting rnu as a candi date for the high office of Vice-President. Tho war, General, has swept away all old party ties, and he who is wise enough to ap preciate this fact, and range himself on the side of his imperiled country, deserves the confidence of all patriots. Amongst the thousands of Democrat win; have thus shown their wisdom, no man of your ancient political faith in the nation has taken u high of.or noblw stand than yourself,' and to this fact the convention was keenly alive. . ' When the war broke out, you ' took the field against the common enemy, and led our brave soldiers to battle on many a hard fought field, in which you showed yourself the true soldier. And when if was the fash ion of the Government to respect the rights of rebels to their slaves, and thus to reinforce them to that extent, you boldly advocated in camp the necessity of depriving the rebel lion of the immense resource which slavery conferred upon it, by its' destruction. , . ,' 'Yonr fellow citizens of New York, Gener al, without respeet to party, generously re membered your devotion to the cause of the country ana humanity, and at the last State election declared their confidence in you by choosing yon to one of the highest offices in their gift. With this recordj and with your fearless advocacy of the principles of the rad ical Dcniooracy before tnem, the convention did not hesitate, but with one accord called on you to complete the ticket bearing on it the name of the illustrious Fremont In conclusion, General, tho committee hope-yoa will favor litem with your early reply, accepting the . nomination, in 'order that the radical Democracy may fling to the breete atonoe the Invinoible flag, of freedom, U'lion. nml ind "K'iidi iicc. and move upon the iietiiy's woits without delay.

Before the taking of Vieksburtr it was as serted by. tho "loyal " party the capture of that rebel stronghold would crush the rebel lion and thu war. Of course all who, ex pected that wore disappointed. It is now thought by many that the capture of Rich mond will crush the rebellion and end the war. Those who think so aro doomed to the same disappointment. that followed the capture of Vicksburg. Should the Federal armies succeed in overpowering the Southern armies we may have no more great battles; but to follow out the abolition programme of subjugation, it will be found necessary to keep up the army for, perhaps, generations. Should the military power of the South lie broken, drafts will continue to be made for men and money to keep up nu army of occupation. With this view of the matter, is it not bet ter to try negotiation, which will probably cause our armies to be dispersed, and relieve our ovei-burden people. Or, to take the view of it Mr. Lincoln foreshadowed in his inaugural, that "after much fighting and loss on both sides" the matter must ba terminated by negotiation, would it not be better to make an effort' at compromise before the "last man nnd tho last dollar" uro takeu? llolnie County Farmer. TJie Nomination. . , '-'. Ihe office-holders and contractors' Con vention at Baltimore re-nominated -Abraham Lincoln for President and selected An drew Johnson, oneo a Senator from Tennes see, for Vice President. Hamlin, the pres ent Vice President, was uncoremoniou-ly thrown over board. . Weaker, poorer und more discreditable nominations for high po sition were never ninko in any eountry. In every respect personal as well as politieal, they are unfit for the offices for which they are named. . The election of Mr. Lincoln, for the first rlerm was a sarcasm upon the capacity of tho people tor sen-government, hut it might be excused that they were deceived, and were ignorant of the character of the man. If he should be re-elected now, that apology would be taken away, and this country full of statesmen, orators and scholars, would bo placed in the attitude of preferring to them, a joking free and easy buffoon, devoid alike of dignity and ability. Those who aro pleased with the country, and desire the nar tion to go at the fastest possible, speed to destruction and ruin, will yote for the office holders candidates Lincoln and Johnson.
