Some DAYS ego one Of the Richmond paPels Indulge
n certain nh actions upon G'anta hanh movements
and declared he had but Idea in strategy IN.
doubtedy has been rather mcn0onous In TIC use Of
his left ia this campaign but, instead of AtsrbutirR
this to the Generals want of fertility, IL would have
been more philosophical to attribute Il 10 the law hat
made It cumpusory-to the fact that movement by
the left che only one In the relative position OF the
two forces chat could tase him towards his goal But
to Redmond journal also declared that Leo knew Gfsn
and his ma. C lvre By heart and alWays prepared
for him 1T the proper point. Yet despite ali this ant
now owes to one of ibis very threadbAre M
fouVre the most substantial advantage ye. gained over
Lee.
Referring to Grants last nov, mint on the Weldon
road, the Herald concludes It's article in the following
e's!ed tone
On Sunday the enemy made great effort TO drive &c
from this point. His ,fOrt1 for this purpose are ths
best evidence OF the importance OF the position. g
value TO Cus cauee can hardly be overstated just
Grant anked Lee out OF his position at SpOtyls
by movement to the left, so the ast movement II t

in some WSy that will give Grant large immediate re-
Dforcsmen t and another draft viii no be necessary
Grant must be in bad way, Il Lincoln is driven to
compromises with his coDsOHpSs.
In another article, the Herald undertakes to point out
10 the Ohosgo Convention what iL mut do to beat the
whole Republican party, and thus indicates the difficult
ties against which the Convention Will have 70 CON
tend:
Tee Onicigo delegates must very empbatioally COM
prehead that they must bea' the whole Rspub par
Nv II they elect their candidate. IL il strong party
even yet ard has heavy army vote TO draw upoD The
eor of relyog too greatly upOn ihs weakness Of the
Republicans as developed in the quarres OF the Ropub
loan lea6ers may prove fatal. NJmster how bitterly
TIE old attic leaders mig abuse each other in be
piping times Of political pence, they we're ways touod

the Whiphand Of them END they viii soon be hobbiug
back into the republican oliks sheep who have gone
ARRAY. The most OF tbs iuls scms Of them kick w
now is simrly to force Lincoln 10 give them their terms
They have no more IGNITION Of holding Buffalo Goa
veniiOn than they have Of nominating the Man in the
Noon with the "Aoon Hcax platform. They use loud
words to conceal hsirask Of nerve, bully busters

mers umbers and typesettsrs poets and poetasieFs,

est reliance can be placed upon what they cay in
gard to their political schemes.
