Long before the For Vice President, hour appointed for the assemblage to Bes. it is evident that the platform es tablished for the party at Chicago, éminently suits the press and the people. But one exception has come to our notice, of the least dissatisfaction. with “Of the party, We use the teri “dissatisfaction,” “yet, this seems to. be a rather stong term by which to desig_ Rate the feeling the Virginia HntorDrise seems to have towards the suffrage and soand Union paper thinks it would « have been better for the party to have Pronounced boldly and squarely for universal. suffrage, Whl» we are “unequivocally in favor.of justice to every One; as far as suffrage is coficerned, and, probably, should we compare notes with our able cotemporary of Virginia City, would be found entertaining the same opinions, we are, nevertheless, impressed that the Convention at Chi-. the constraction of the platform. The suffrage plank is, probably, as much as the people ‘are willing to endorse for _ the present.

Our party can allow many shades of opinion on questions of policy. The suffrage plank in-our platform accommedates a majority uf the party, while the form ‘binds all to it with liooks of steel.

The Theatre ‘was densely crowded when the meeting was called to order by A. H. Hanson: Esq., Secretary of the County Central Committee, and on motion S. D. Merchant, Eeq., was elected President of the meeting. That gentleman came forward and expressed his thanks for the honor conferred. TT. B. Merry was then chosen ‘Secretary. Eloquent speeches'were next. made by Judge S. W. Brockway, of Calaveras county, Marcus D. Boruck, Esq., of San FranW. Robertsand others,all of which were well received and enthusiastically applauded. _. Dr, Harris was unavoidably absent, bat the following letter from him was read by the Secretary, and warmly received by the audience : _— San Juan, May meek 1008, A. H. Hanson, Esq.

Our delegates in the National Convention have justly interpreted the. voice of the people in nominating for standard bearer, him, whom we believe will,like the immortal Washington, be “first in peace” as he is already “first in war” and in the hearts of n.” And, in our nominee for Vice President, (the unpurchasable patriot, Schuyler Coltax,) treason will find no ally, should the -assassin's » or the poisoned bow! lay low the of the nation. Yet, strong as is our ticket, let no fancied certainty ot triumph delude us with syren songs into aslumber, that would be indeed fatal. “The ree af liberty is eternal v ilance,” and the battle must be Soug before it can. be won, Let every man who loves his country be “up and doing” as if;on his éxertions, alone depended the final result; Let no “outposts” be unguarded, no sentinel found sleeping at his post, and the fesult must be an over-whelmi victory, that will forever confound the enemies of freedom. I am to seve the campfires kindled in every part of the sepa sa and I trast your meetng give expression of Union Republican sentiment ‘that will reunite the wreat and powerful, union-loving and union-saving sentiment that car through. one of the most firey ordeals that could test a powers ‘and capacities of any naWith sentiments of the highest teom, lam in the great and good canes f ° ustice aud h Res EB.

It isto be hoped that all will be infused with the spirit of conciliation without delay. We have received blows from the par-y, or rather from some professed members of the Republican party, enough and of such a natare, to induce acetous fermeéutation. Some two or three of our ents may “conie Knows whom, ‘have received an abundance of kicks and no coppers, for long and meritorious servi_ . others with scarcely any record at all have been promoted.

We are in for victory und justice and nothing else. . The least-worthy Union man in the ranks is better for us than the least objectionable Copperhead allowed by the inscrutable decrees of providence to exist on the planet.

Miss Edwards has selected the room lately occupied by Miss McCormick in which to open school.
