Solar as TIE opinions OF the republican
patty Of the United Srates can be collected
from the public prints, it would seem al
most reduced TO q certainly, that Mr..
Glouros win be tn il candidate for this I'M
pnr,ant o.hce--Ihe persons who have
most generally been spoken of, are Mr..
CragYora, Governor Iomhkins, and MIR.
Aionroe.-Without derogating in the least
from the talents and the services Of the o.
ther gentlemen, we think it may be safely
asserted, that on the score of pub g SER
vices, tried patriotism, and long experience
in public afrairs, Mir. Monroe amts pre-
emnently conspicuous, and had it not been
for the hone st scruples of some, and the
cavils Of others about VD.ginian Influence,
1t IS probable that no other person would
have been named by the republicans. The
op'y objection, besides that OF ,r,y, which
HIS been raised :raiust hinI, is, that he is
a VTginian. And SO is Mr. Crawford
Mr.. fompkius is from Ntw-Yolk. But
1t there were ever amy force in the ohiec-
ZION, it is completely removed by the unan-
imous decision OF the republic ms Of New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, and we
believe the general opinion OF those of the
middle and eastern states, is in favor OF
Mr.. Monree. ~. Jersey mig.

liie pres dental question is now reduc-
cd to choice between MIR. MONROE and
MIR. CRAWFORD. We think il strange,

has been so suddenly brought about ; but
1t exists in reality, where we apprehend It
cannot III time be changed and republi
cans have TO decide in favor of one or the
other of those &, nllcmGn. MIR. Crawford,
though a worthy and upright man, has
not exhibited talents, ms not rendered
services sufficient to justify selection of

right the leapie may have to claim his SER
wees IN any capacity, it is right which,
we think, they will and ought to waive on

state not to say, that Of James Monroe
and William II. Crawford, we entertain a
re ided preference for Mir. Monroe and
that the republicans OF this district, and Of

satisfied IL the nomination Of Mr.. Crawford,

Sentiment, as expressed July 4, 1916:
The celebration by the Republican Pniy
were very general throus hour the union.
Many mixed companies AarmonizeS IN
American and Republican sentiments.
There were fewer federal elebrstions
thsn We ever before no,iced>-prebably not o
dozen in the whole United States.
The Declaration Of Independence, its pria-
ciples, author and supporters, universally
toasted.
The memory Of ofyNAsHrSeTow and FRAME.
LIN, and other heross and sages Of the revo-
luton, honored by all.
The Presidenr generally given with full
approbation--in some instances with partial
censufc, for having signed tho salary act.
The selection Of MIR. MosRoA and Mr..
ToMPKISs, for our next Presiden, and Vice.
Presiden,, warmly appauded, exrept BY q
very few parties who disapproyed Of the pria-
eiples of nominations.
The Majority of Consrsss, rsprobated IN
the most indignant terms by about ninety -nin0
meetings out ofa hundred for passing tke
salary act.
The Minority thanked at most Of tbs
meetings for opposing that act |; bot condem-
ned at three or four for taking the addilioEst
compensation.
The War, considered as haviog been un~'
avoidabie, successful and glorious--havinE
raised the character the nation 10 the estj.
NATION Of ourselves and other, by developing
our wealth, strength and resources and se-
cured permamen, peace by displaying outA
prowess in war. 49,,
Gratitude 20 fAe army and ndvy--generaT-
ly expressed in the warmest language, and
congress called vpou to reward the disbsnded
of6cers.-
The Hartford Convention and Wassfngfo1
Soeiesies, almost every where loaded with re-
proaeh and ridicule.
Patronage ef Domesfie Manufactures, in
preference to foreign fabries, regarded BY
most as essential to our real inde pc ndcnee.
The Jase OF France generally commisera.-
ed; and a welcome TO the exiles from thar
country expressed.
Success 20 the struggle Of South .fneriea
for INDEPENDENCE universally invoked.
And, in wors, such sentiments generally
