THURSDAY MORNING, Arm 10, ls

The course which we have deemed it proper TO
Dursur.
"presioent Polk aud hi, actions seem TO give
,paeml satisfaction thus far, and has elected
vsueyay the cncomiums OF the press, without
distinction oE party-leciing. The .4meficdA
Rcyub!cai. the organ OF the natives of our city,
has been unusually lavish III its bestowm3nt of
praise, SO much 50 indeed as to induce us to
believe il will hardly murmnr at the election Of
another democrat in lSiS, if he be such man
A. the present worthy incumbent OF the office.
Whilst th3 organs of that party elsewhere have
been loud in an expression OF the determine
ton to run a native candidate in lS4S for the
Presidency, IL has been unusually still and re-
served. Why so, we cannot say; though II may
i,o DESTROYS OF reservng its opinion until ma
tired, and not hastily publish the first deter
niaatOn of party feeling. 1t has an able edi-
Tor, though We think his ability and energy
can never place the native party on perma-
ucnt basis in our city. The probability is, that
t candidate for the office of mayor of the city
viii be- run by the party, as it is, during the
next political canvass, though with slig Int hopes
Of success.
We DO not know that we have been excess
<ivcly lavish in our praises OF President Polk.
We seldom indulge in exaggerated encomiums
If aay public man, but arc always willing TO
mete OUT Justice to every one We were
pleased at the declarations made by the Presl-
dent, that he intended to be the President of
the American nation aud not OF party, and
re unhesi:a:ngly expressed our approval OF his
sentiments. These were American, and whe
,ier uttered by democrat or wing, could not
DC the less acceptable to us, as we are intlu-
cnced by considerations higher than those of
mere party. The welfare of "our country" is
what we seek, and are as well pleased to have
It promoted by one class of politicians as an
other Upon 10 occasion shall we offer Il
merely factious opposition to any man in
power, bu; shall applaud where we approve,
md censIre what we believe to be wrong
The writer thinks that we shall "hardly muir
mar at the election OF another democrat in
1888, il ho be- such man as the present wor-
Thy incumbent Of the Office" We shall not
shonG we be spared to soc another Presden-
'al election, quarrel about tho names or par
tizan attachments Of candidates, provided they
possess American sentiments, and will govern
The county rghteously. We hope that no
worse man than the present incumbent may be
elected for then we shall consider the country
safe
The write, doubts whether the American
Republican, mot native) party of this city can
!.e placed upon permanent basis. The ex-
p"rimen. If worth trying, however, even if it
iail--toy it is always praiscworthy to endcaYor
10 instil patriotic feelings and sentiments into
the people. 1t is impossible at present to say,
what candidates the American Republicans OF
this city may hereafter deem it expedient to
bring before the people-or whether they will
have any Toy Mayor or other station. 1t is
time enough for these matters TO be determin-
cd. Bot should they present candidates, we
are confident that they will embrace ndividu-
ais wi,hou. reference to old party distinctions
and men who will do no discrodit TO the city
of thu country,
Ia respect to an American Republican Pre-
,idcntiai candidate we have been SILENT be-
cause Ne have considered the agitation of that
question 81 the present time, premature. We
desire that the country shall have rcpose, and
not be porpstuaIy h0rasscd Ivy partizan con-
iiicts. Whether Or not it will hereafter be
considered advisable TO run candidate for the
Presidency, must be l..tt to time to determine.
