That he is a man w though a soldier by profession, ho! io, al- . as the law and the soustitution above the is an .honorable and patriotic fea sword. are of hischaracter which is his own. llisnaiu1 shines, therefore, with no reflected lustre froni the past. Gen. Hancock was born in Montjgomry county, Pennsylvania. His f;Lther, .who was a native of the same count v, liartici- pated in the war of 1812, and afterwards became a lawyer of prominence. T le date of Geu Hancock's birth was Febru uy 14, 1824. liis early education was received at an academy at Xonistown, where he spent the liist years of his youth. He possessed, -as a school boy, those traits which sometimes foretell future eminence. Studious and thoughtful, he laid thie foun datiops of a"great career. Entering West Point at 16 he graduat ed with credit to himself the 30th of June, 1844.! The close of the Mexican as in which he had distinguished himself at Contreras, Cherubusco, Moliuo dkd Uey and at the capture of the city of Mexico found him a Second Lieutenant of i n fa li iu va- trv. From 1843 to 186'1 he served lions capacities in the military Service. In 1801, when the war between the Unit ed States and the Confederate States broke out, ho-was stationed at Lom Ange- los, Calitonua. lie otiereu his services, first to his native State of "Pennsylvania, and then to the Fedral Goverumcut. The lattei- accepted them. Geu. Scott order- ed him to Washington, aiul Pi esident Liucolq. commissioned him as a liifigudicr General of Volutiteers, September 23d. Geim Hancock's command was-qonios- ed of ton r resi m en ts from Pen n s v vainia, NewYoik, Vermont and Wiscfnpiu res pectively. Vith these troops he repair- etl with the Arinyo the Pofoma ; to the Peninsula towards the end of March, 18t2, when General McClellan legan 1 is inef fective campaign against Kichmond from that tlirectiu. His brigade took part iu a number of skirmishes and partial eu gageinents, that preceded the battle of Williamsburg on the 5tbof May. It dis tingnished itself on that day, Geh. Han cock assuming command and leading a charge. This sharing the dangers of his men was one of the features of his ry career; he neverwas unwilling) milita to lead on occasions when his presence was need ed to encourage his troops, and both as Brigudier-Geueral and Major-General he gave his soldiers the iuspiritiug lAsson of example aud emulation. But all General Hancock's coumgeaud skill could not alter the decrees of Fate. He retired with, the rest pf the Army of the Potomac f rom the long-continued, -bloody and di.astrous Seven Days' Fight; leaving Richmond in the hands of her valiant defenders! but en joying for himself the enviable conscious ness -ot having deserved well of his coun try. ' The testimouy to his devotion was sjiown when, after the battle of Malvern Hill,! Gen. McClellau recommended that he be promoted to tho rauk of Maj r-Gen-eral of Volunteers; and at the- sat ie time his services in the most active of cam paigns were further rewarded by his ob Lienteuant-Colonel and Colonel in the The moaths of Augnst aud Sep mbtr, ade at CentreviHe, serving under Pope, He fought at South Mountain and again, on September 17th, at Antietam. lathis battle fell the General-Coiiiiuamlini; the First Division of the Second Army Corps. During the progress of the battle General I Hancock was appointed to the command ot the division, aud thus began his cou- nection with the second corps, of which iu the course of the time he became the commander. We next hear of Hancock at the groat battle of Gettysburg which, by some North- well known "General 0rder, No. 40," in ern authorities, is held to have been the piv- which belaid down his programme as otal conflict of the war.

On the first dav of the battle. Julv Im iVi bupd his imrnosw to ensnre it. bv 1st, he was in immediate command until the arrival of Meade. On the second day s his corps did exceptional service and was engaged with General Longstreet's enrp. I He had command of the left centre of the ' Union army and before the close of the day li was severely wounded. In consideration of his services in these battles Congress vot- :cd him a resolution of thanks. It wis not until the opening of the cam- paign of 1864 that his wounds allowed him ; again to see active service. Up to March of that vear he was Vm sick leave, and was en j . . . ! gaged in recruiting the second army corps. With Hjc opening of the campaign he was in the field under Gun. Giant and in com mand of this corps. He was present at the ! battles of the Wilderness. Spottsylvania J-Court' House, North Anna, ami the second '-. battle ot Cold Harbor. He participated in ; the operations around Petersburg until June ! 19th, when he was once more compelled to retire from service for awhile, owing to his wounds breaking out anew. j Gen. Hancock's last military command j was an imjortant one. He was detached ' from the Armv of the Potomac on the 2(5th l J of November and was ordered to Washinjj ! ton.. In a short while he was placed at the head of a corps of veterans numbering 50, j 000. His headquarters were at Winchester, Va., and his intire command, in which was included-the Army of the Shenandoah, num bered 100,000 men. The surrender at Ap poniattox however, made further service in the field unnecessary. He was still at Winchester when the as sassination of President Lincoln occurred. Summoned to Washington, wliich city was included in his military'division, he was or dered to remain there bv President Johnson until order should replace the excitement Caused bv the assast-ination of the President It was in his capacity as military head of division that he was com pert ed to look on ami witness the murder of the unfortunate Mrs. Surratt 13' order of a military commis sion. i$ut to ins creoit oe it saiu tnat ne made every effort, consistent with his posi tion and duties, to save the life of his vic tim convicted under martial law. Mrs. Surratt and her companions were executed on July 8, 1863. When Mrs. Surra tt's daugh ter, at his suggestion, endeavored to reach the ear of President Johnson to intercede for her inother'sjlifc, General H uicock assist ed her to the extent of his al ijity in carry ing out her wishes. But in vain. He hoped tor a pardon for Mrs. Surratt through the prayers of the unfortunate woman's daugh- erand on the clay of the execution he sta tioned mounted soldiers on the line from the White House to the Arsenal grounds, where the execution was to take place, so that if the pardon were granted even at the last moment, he should know it promptly and in time to snve Mrs. Surratt from the halter: No Messenger of mercy came, and the indel ible disgrace was attached to the govern- mcnt of the United State3 of hanging a woman innocent of crime. Later in July General Hancock was trans ferred to the middle department. His head quarters were at Baltimore. He remained in command of this department until July, 1866. when he was put in command of the denartment of Missouri. About the same time he was Made Major-General in the reg ular army, having already been breveted to the same grade for "gallant and meritorious service at Spottsylvania." While in the West he conducted several campaigns against hostile Indians in the Indian Terri tory. Kansas and Colorado. Hisulsequent commands have been those o'. Lo dsiana and Texas, of Dakota and of the department of the East the last his present charge, with headquarters on Governor's Island. He was commissioned Major-General of Volunteers in the month of Novemlwr, and at the head of his division he participated in the battle at Fredericksburg on December 13th ; here he was slightly wounded. He shared in the defeat of Hooker at Chancel lorsvilte in 1863, and his division did effect ual service in staving the ill-fortunes of the day by protecting the rear of the retreating Union troops. In the mont h of June of the same year he was assigned to the command of the second army corps. We have shown above the record that General Hancock has made for himself as a soldier, but it is not as a soldier that the Presidency of the United States will lie inferred on hitu. Although a soldier himself, he has stood boldly and bravely forward in emergencies 4u defence of a the civiLIaw when threatened in time of peace by the military law. While iu command of the "Militaty pistrict" of Louisiana and Texas, with headquarters iu New Orleans, in November, 18C7, ho found himself met by '.difficulties arising out of the result of the war. With ad of the laws of the country as well as to the, people of Louishml and Texas, he recenciled the differeiices that had pre viouslv mevailed and which had had their origin in the abominable carpet-bag governments that siuc4 the close of the war had blighted those' States. Instead of an oppressor, the Louisianiaus aud Texans fouud iu him a ioveruor inspired by motives of the purest patriotism aud of the highest justice, (in assuming com mand, November 21), he- issued his allowing the civil authorities to carry out the civil laws. The-e was everything iu this "Order" to produce :i profound sense of gratitude in the hearts of those to whom it was addressed. Following it came for a while the I essiugs of peace for the fact that Washington re and prosperity, and but the administration at moved General Hancock from his sphere of just aud beneticicnt: government the peiiod of misrule in Louisiana aud Texas would have come to ah end ten years ago. How honestly, . how impartially, and how prudently he Conducted the af fairs of these two Siatea is shown iu the case of his controversy with the. carpet- baggers so-called Gov.! Pease of Texas. This individual hail arbitrarily removed the judges aud countv lotiicers whom lie found in office and had appointed his own creatures to (ill their places. Gen. Hancock's first jact on assuming command was to redress the injustice that had been done, tb the. people of Texas, and in his Gene"ral Order No 40' he repaiied the wronjjj that Pease had committed. He declared that "the right of trial by jury, the habeas; corpus, the liber ty of the press, the freedom of speech, the natural rights of j persons, and the rights of property, shoitld be respected" noble sentiments that' have never been forgotten by the Ametician people, A guilt iu a letter to Pease, he said that "On them (the laws of Texas and Louisiana.) as on nr foundation of rock, reposes al most the entire structure of social order in these two States. Power , may destroy the formsJbtit not the prin cipTes ol j fivrtce ;rttes even ol tne s f the sword." iral II: The just course of Gfr ancock in the South offended the; carpet-baggers :inil llu ir K.uii.al iricttos in voiinress who endeavored by hostile - legislation, directed against him, c retired from the niilit it her to have, him iry service or to make his position as Cjounuander of the Fifth Military District barrassiug. Finally the irksome and em issue of obeying a wrong or resigning wis Governorship was presented to l.im. He chose the lat ter course, and in a letter to a friend, in which he spoke of his difficulties, he said: Nothing can intimida believe to be honest made application to be command on February e me from what I and right." He removed from his 27, 1808, a victim of Uadical partisanship!

In the that year he re- nomination for the P national convention of ceived 144J votes. Ag lin, in I8?ti, he re- ceived at the St. Lotus convention ; votes for the same nojmination. It will be seen, therefore, that as a candidate for the Presidency in 1S80 he has a Presi- denttal record which important element of hundreds of thousands lloes not lack the the confidence' of of his fellow-citi- zens in his availability as the man to victory.

This proposition was received with the greatest enthusiasm In this wav was Gov. Jarvis nominated bv the largest and most intelligent Convention that ever as sembled in this State. There was no ma chine work, no unfairness, no packing, and those who sav to the corttrary lie and know thev falsefy the tacts, witen tncy on u. Gov. Jarvis is a mane f the people. He is deservedly popular. He has endeared himself to all classes by tis manly, straight forward, aud honest course in all public places he has ever filled, and especially by the able and honest manner in which he has managed the State affair since he became our Chief Executive offier. It was there fore expected that he would receive the well-done of the people tor his faithful pub lic services, and not because Judge Fowle or Gen. Scales were thought unworthy. The friends of these two last named gentlemen must know thU it they 1 ave taken the trou ble to ascertain the ieelings of the people: and those who have done so are as strong now for Mr. Jarvis as shy of his wannct friends can be. For sha ue then let us hear no more complaining, lw t let us unite as one The Final Scene, In the Cincinnati Contention when Hancock Wat dominated. Uenry Grady to Atlanta Constitution Uxcixxati, June 24, 12 m. The scene preceding and attending Hancock's nomi nation was indescribable. There was a lull after Pennsylvania changed ou the vote, and it was thought that all was over, wheu Wisconsin arose and changed. After that nothing more was heard for a full half hour. Malcolm Hay got the chair and carried Pennsylvania over solid aud then there was a paudemoiiinm. Han cock's banner, Iteming his likeness aud the motto, "The civil law is supreme the natural rights of person aud property must be preserved," was brought aud planted on the chairman's desk. The Whole house rose and yelled and s'tonted. The flags of the States were then taken by the delegates and advanced to- the center, nodding to the Hancock banner. The Randall and Americas banners fol lowed, until the front of the stage was a waving wilderness of flags and streamers. The bands struck up inspiring music. For ten minutes the vast hail was like a mad-house. Men raised umbrellas and waved them, pressed over the reporters' tables, utterly sweeping them to one side. A desjterate struggle was taking place in the, Indiaua delegation over the State flag. It had remained plauted iu the midst of the delegation, when two men seized it and attempted to take it tojhe congress of flags about the stage. . The delegates fought over t'.te flag until it was tout to pieces, but the remnants were finally car ried off, aud the staff of the rag was hoist ed in front, of the stage. The delegates made a sally, recaptured the banner and brought it back. A tight ensued iu which several persons were carried out of the delegation by the police. Dan Voorhees stood by watching the struggle with tears rolling down his face and many of the In dianians wept as the sl.outs went on. The Delaware banner of Bayard was never moved from its place in the midst of the Delawarcans and South Carolina's flag jtvaved serene and undisturbed by the side of the sad ami silent Hampton, who sat guarding it with majesty ami dignity. These two flags alone remained at their posts. The Delawareaus were crushed and depressed, and with the Indiaitians were the only silent clump in the enor mous tumult. Georgia attempted to jchauge her vote, bnt a mw call of the oil was demanded and quiet restored. Ott the last call Indiaua voted for Hen dricks amid furious pressure from all sides, and adhered to the vote, although besiged by scenes of people who pressed tbr an uiiauimous vote. The Indianians were pale and determined, and stuck to their vote until the result was announced aud it was seen that Hancock was nomi nated. Then the agottv was over. JOINING HANDS. The culmination came, though, when Kelly, representing Tammany, aud Fel lows, representing anti-Tammany, shook hands at the stand with the baud playing "Auld Lang Syne." Fellows had just con cluded wheu Kelly made his way to him and took his hand. They remained with hands clasped fcr several moments, the body of the convention cheering heartily, but several clumps remaining seated. As Tammanv rose in a ImmIv in the rear of the hall the New York delegates rose, with the exception of Peckhnm aud half i dozen, and the tw6 delegations had a hearty hand shaking, and each side de clared that it would vie with the other in rolling up a majority, for the common candidate. New Jersey promised 18,000 majority, and there was the greatest en thusiasm iu all scenes. Till: DE3XOCUATIC XOMIXEI3S. VOJCS OF TUE PRESS AND PEOPLE.

'"Mr. Bayard heartily indorses the ticket and has sent a congratula tory telegram to General Jiaucock and received a reply. New York, June 25. The Herald says : "An undoubted and very great benefit to the country is that the nomination of Hancock makes im possible the bloody shirt campaign ; that between Garfield and Hancock voters may choose freely and safely, according to their views of what is the best policy, and with no fear that the Union or any man's rights in the country will be endangered by the election of either." The Times says : "It is a peculiarly constituted party which sends rebel brigadiers to Congress because of their rebellion and which nominates a Un ion general as its candidate for Presi dent of the United States because of ! his loyalty." It considers the ticket very common-place. The World warmly jmlogizfs Han cock for his military career and states maiily conduct during the war, aud welcomes the nomination as the means of re-uniting as firmly as if never se parated the States of the Union. The Journal of Commerce highly eulogizing Hancock, says : "A polish ed and cultured gentleman, a brave and successful soldier, and an honest matt, he is without stain and above rpnrnflch : fit to sit in the chiar of Washington and represent the Ameri can people io the monarchs and states men of the world." Tho Tribune says i "In the hour of excitement and passion another Dem ocratic convention has missed all chaiice of victory.
