THE PREsrDENcY.---W have not yet seen,
in any of the most prominent Journals Of
the Republican party, excepting the New
York Courier and Enqui,er, dssidsd
| preference as to Presidential caDdidsts.
The Albany Journal, the Epening Poa md
the Tribune 81 New York, the OinOinnati
/ Gaeets, the Chicago Tribune, and papers
OF that class, are utterly silent as to men,
Even whore the strongest partialisies might
be supposed to exist, theaone firm resolution
prevails, 70 keep men out Of sight a. far q
possible and to forego oil personal prefer
ences for the sake OF the cause. 1t is an en-
couraging sigma sign Of solid and irwin
cible union. @&rss
a. Mr.. CORY, 10 bis conversation with A.
D. Banks, about Wise's meditsted treason,
By which the Government Offices and the
Capitol ware to be taken forcible possession
of, told his Democratic ohum that ssby forcs
the Union might be consolidated, but By force
it could never be dismembsred." And it il
true remark. Whoever rouses the intense
love Of country that exists in the nation, By
actually appearing 10 arms against its integ-
rity, will be made such an example Of that
none other will be needed during this oen-
fury. 2
