The Ersning Post having copied what appears to
us most ipiudicious and mistaken article from
The Chicago Democrat, wherein Cos. SEWARD is
assumed to be urging the nomination of MOSES H.
GRISNELL for Vice. President to be supported IN
connection with Col Fremont for President, WE
deem it simple justice to state the fact that Gcv s.
las not suggested the name OF Mr Grinnen, nor oi
any other person, whether for President or Vice
President. To every one who has approached
I'm with suggestions that this or that per
son should be nominated be has uniformly
responded: II have nothing to say and

that they will be faithful exponents and earnest

assured. has been the uniform tenor OF Gov. Sew
ards language on this subject; and such, We do
lot doubt. il will be. Gov. s., II is well known,
has bimself been widely suggested as the Republi-
can candidate and il il were clearly within the
power of the Republicans TO elect whom

be their decided choice. Ir the actual state
of things, we believe many If not most OF those
who have for years been recognized as bis imme-
date friends 40 not advocate nor expect his nom

formal withdrawal from the canvass Let the
field of selection be as wide as possible and let
the National Convention which Is TO assemble at
Philadelphia canvass it impartially, deliberately
searchngly. and select for President and Vice
President the two fit and faithful men who
can poll the largest possible vote for F. Kansas
and her immediate Admission Such We 6nOw to
be the wish of many of Gov. Ssward's prominent
friends; and We believe it to accord fully with his
own vlews.
As 10 Mr. Grnnell, we are aware that his name
has been cangassed in connection with the Vice
Presidency. though in 70 manner through Gov.
Stewards procurement or suggestion. We have
heard il remarked that, should Col. Fremont be
the Free. Kansas candidate for President Mr.
Grinnen would fifty and happily complete the
ticket; and it is very true that 1t was supposed
that his nomination would cOnciliate and electrlty
thousands who might not otherwise SO heartily
support that ticket. All this is very natural and
unexceptonabIe But, while it is certain that Gov.
Seward had 10 part in introducing Mr. GrinneIs 8
uame into these informal discussions, it
is morally sure that Mr.. GrinneD himself had no
knowledge of them, and that those who would
gladly support bin for any station have no conf-
dence iD their ability to induce him to be candi-
date. The class of eminent and successful mer.
chants, to which class Mr.. Grinnell belongs have a
natural and all but nvincible repugnarce to being
candidates or holding Office, and Mr.. G. has for
years been unsuccessfully impOrtuned to allow bis
name to be used for this or that honorable and
influential post. Mr.. Grinnell bore his part in
public STAIRS years ago, and received an honorable
discharge. We doubt that be could now be IN
duced to accept any political office whateTer.
