The New York Tribune and its Doctrines

Bic reception from lie Republican Press
of the country. generally, and have in
rome cases ELECTED sharp rehukes.
One o fthese ideas is. that the Repub-
iican party should dispense with a Ma,
iional Convention for nominating a Pre-.
sidential candidate; and the other, a pro
posal Tor rather a feeler thrown GU, }
for q union of the Republican with The
s0uth-Ansricaa party. upon terms
which, TO say the least, are not cTedita
be TO the Republicans.
We have never made The Tribune cur
political Bible; never have thought it a
guide which could always be depended
upon SIS perfectly sale snd unerring. be-
cause it must be admitted that it hiss on
very many occasions, advocated doc
trsnes which would not bear the test OF
time and practice. sin, we think il in
bad lasts for Republican papers TO be
rate the Tribune in such unmeasured
terms, although we have no liking for
the position taken by it. respecting a
union with any other party.
How some of the Republican pspers
speak Of these vagaries of the Tribune,
our readers may judge BY the following
article from the Ohio Stq.s Jonrnal::
The .ys.c York Ti5ans would be a
nice paper for a email party. Keep it
in & hopeless minority, AID its principles
would be as firm as the rock; but let po
litical success appear almost within lis
grasp, and it begins TO '.peei.' for the
SIGHT, By laying aside the principles un
der which it has been trained 10 g. high
condition. 1t seems TO regard pofit cal
principles as convenient for a small par
ty, but as a dead weight in a race Of
success. Tho Tribune Of the 9th ult.
has an article on the question. whether
there can be a substantial union of the
Opposition 10 the bogus Democracy in
1862 and states its idea of what The Re-
pub'icsns would generally be wiling to
-eeneede for the sake Of ~harmon;z;ns:
1--WE p~roposeIhst the Republicans. as
the larger section of the Opposition, be
permitted 10 NAM one of their number
Yor President. to be sustained by the en-
IRE Opposition. while the Americans
Rnd NationaI Wings propose the Vice
President. The ticket thus formed shall
be supported by the entire Opposition,
each party and each State making its
v platform, aud none bling committed
70 any but its own doctrines or PROPOSE
'tions. and the Ufited Opposition TO be
designated .Republica1s,' Americans,
Union Peoples Party or Whatever
-~else,its voters in any locality may choose.
