Ho gives our paper a complimentary notice, and says the general appearance of the sheet looks well, but that the illustrated department headings makes it resemble an old-time farmers' almanac. We'll have to retort on Olney by calling his paper a comic almanac if it contains any more such amusing effusions as we find in the paper before us over the signature, of "Burlington." It is laughable to Young America to see a uecaved om ainediiuvian, whose days of usefulness have departed, turning State's evidence against a man who was brought into the political arena by himself (the old veteran) and who has ever had, until recently, -an ardent defender in the old man we sa-Tt looks fanny to us voung 'uns to see such a character ex-posing the little indiscreet acts of the pupil that the tutor led him to commit, because the tutor has got miffed against the scholar.

8th, 1864. Our Convention closed its labors this morning. A full delegation from the 75 Districts assembled in the-Representative's nail, and immediately went to work without ceremony or caucusing, each with his respective candidate, into the work of balloting: In no CODYcntion composed of such diversified interests have I had the pleasure of witnessing more unanimity of feeling or a more resolute determination to adhere to the interests of the great Union cause. Candidates from various sections were presented, but each willingly yielded his sectional favorite for the sake of uniting our strength onthe great central idea of Union and Freedom. "A spirited contest arose for Governor which terminated on the fourteenth ballot in favor of Col.

S. J. Crawford, of Garnett. One loud, deafening peal of consent went up, and the nomination was declared unanimous, i Then came a host of names for Congressman, which resulted in the unanimous choice of Sidxey Clark. Both of these men are young and promising, and of no mean talent and though perhaps not glowing like a Clay or a Henry, we have designated them as the best the wisdom of the Convention could place before the fot those important and responsible positions.

What party has ever met with the success that has most proverbially followed the efforts of the Democratic party That party has, during the major portion of its existence, been Conducted on tSe" convention system, and its members have universally submitted to the results of the convention, no matter how unpalatable thet may have been. They have yielded their preferences to the predominant sentiment of tlieir delegated representatives and labored faithfully to execute the will of their conventions In that manner they have most invariably reaped success. 4 The Ptepubliean party of this country has an important task to perform. The salvation of the country depends upon its success. If it fails, the reigns of the government fall into the hands of disorganizers and compromisers, and the immense sacrifice of blood and treasure that the friends of the Union have made and are now making, will be in vain.

The Democratic party is making most gigantic efforts to regain its lost power. The attractions of office and the alluring baits of public plunder, which seem to be within grasp amid the calamities of the county, are inspiring the leaders of that organization to put forth unprecedented exertions to insure success. To the end of acquiring victory they are rallying and uniting their forces with a zeal worthy of a better For results, witness how every man who was a Democrat up to the period of the outbreak of the war, is ratifying the Chicago nominee.

The following extract from a letter from a private soldier, will give some idea of the feeling that prevails among the soldiers of that army "Officers and Soldiers in the Kansas regiments at Fort Smith are almost unanimously in favor of Col. S. J. Crawford, of the 2nd Kansas Colored, for our next Governor. We want a military man for Governor in these war times, who knows how to protect our State.

Col. Crawford is a good officer, and a strictly honest man. "We are billing to concede all the other officers to the politicians and other citizens of Kansas, but the Governor we want."
