PRESIDENTIAL.


ed ly tho committee, appointed at the Pitts
burg Convention IN February, of the Repub-
lican Party. It will be seen That general
Convention is to be held at Philadelphia, on
the 18th of juno, TO recommend suitable can
,ldates for the Presidency and Vice Presiden
ey. In this connection we publish the follow
ing article from the Boston Atlas, entitled
"The Presidential Elcction--Thc Republican
Nominee" With many of its suggestions
we heartily co-inridc:--
"Fully insured that the Republican party
will be great power in the approaching elcc-

the ranks Of the harmonious democracy. On
the contrary, there has been in every quarter
a reiterated expression of willingness to sub
nit to any course clearly demanded by the
best interests Of the party. The general opiu-
ion has housekeeping for the cause, aud
nothing for meul" Personal preferences have
not, 1t is true, been concealed; but they have
not in a single instance, which has come un-
der our observation, been exhibited without
the accompanying avowal Of an equally eur
nest wish, that in The great campaign before
Us, he may lead the serried ranks OF the Re-
publicans, who shall be found best fitted for
the post Of honor
In fixing upon Presidential candidate il
will be necessary to consider the character Of
the Republican party, the circumstances un-
