a very decent old g ntlcman in the abolition

are negro equality and Maine liquor law In

DECLINES will be seon by card
published in this issue. Judge Grant de
clines the nomination for the District Jud-
gcship rendered him at the Judicial Con
vention held at Dc Witt on the 7.h inst.
This is nothing more than we expected.
Judge Grant it is well known, always shuns
official notoricty rather than seeks it. His
very extensive and lucrative business as a
lawyer is sufficient reason, in his estimation
for not accepting any Office in the gift of
the people Or this State, though it mus. be
conceded that the Offices are very scarce.
that he is not abundantly qualified to fill.
What action the Judicial committee will
take in the premises remains to be seen
Our impression is, however, that no nomi
ton will be made.

The tide now sets toward Mr.. Lincoln.
And here you will note that 1 was not too
fast in directing attention to the Presi-
dency year ago, for that was the time
to sound, and search the depths and shall
lows Of public opinion on this great ques-
tioD; and, also, because that was the time
to discover candidate for the next Presi-
dency. Mr.. Lincoln's present apparent
inevitable nomination and reelection do
not result from organization or intrigue.
They are the fruits Of the awakening Of
the people to the necessity Of re electing
the men who have had the war in charge
for nearly three years, and who ought to
finish the work. have never known so
little management to produce a result. 1t
has been as readily and as easily done as
putting on an old shoe. Nobody can make
anything out Of it, for everybody was in
favor Of it. 1t has not come from jobbeTs,
or contractors, or Politicians. TIE people
thought there was gold in Lincoln at first,
and now, finding ii out, they have patient
" dug down, and waited, and reaching
their expectations, they propose to keep
him where he is, for he enriches and pro-
tec!s the loyal, and psrdons and indulges
the heretofore disloysl. Hence, think
we are sll for Mr.. Lincoln, unless he
chooses to oppose and destroy himself by
opposing what he cannot destroy, the great
truths on aghieb he IVGS elected. These are
SO terrible in their force that who ever de-
serts them now would fall as the angels
fell, who contended against Heaven be-
cause they believed themselves greater
than the Deity. OCCASIONAL

Oar TerrIrorInI wealth.

Few persons in this section Of the ooun-
try interest themselves sufficiently In our
territories to comprehend or appreciate
their vast extent and boundless re-
sources Of mineral and agricultural wealth.
They do not realize that, starting from the
point where all railroads to the westward
terminate, one can travel by coach in a
due westerly line for sixteen days, at the
rate Of over one hundred miles day, be-
fore he reaches the western line Of our
great domain.
If we look at the most westerly Of our
railroad travelled es-Missouri-We
find an amount of mineral, agricultural
and domestic resources unequalled in va
riety and richness by any State in the
Union. Kansas, commencing where Mis-
souri, leaves OF, also possesses fine lands
for agricultural purposes; and although
some Of the country beyond, known as
the Plains, has the reputation Of desert,
vet the bottom lands are rich and feNtile.

drew many away from comfortable homes
many, disappointed, retrsced their steps
homeward. But they failed, not for lack
of gold, but because it was chiefly found
in such conditions as to require machinery
to work It successfully; and furthermore
it required capital, which the poor emf.
grants Of 1857 did not possess. The tide
OF emigration still flows steadily and in
creasingly thither; capital has been sent
out there, machinery introduced, and great
improvements have recently been made fol

The OpenInr Campaign.

The next Presidential campaign will be
the most peculiar knswn to American his
tory since the days Of Washington. That
battle is already fought and the victory
won in the popular heart, and it is simply
q question of life or death, whether or not
Abraham Lincoln is reinsugursted PFesi-
dent of the United States on the 4th Of
March, 1866.
We are forced to this conclusion by in.
dicstions that are not to be mistaken. The
popular heart leads out towards him in a
feeling Of attachment that cannot be re-
pressed, and which even now, upon every
possible occasion crops out in strong ex-
pressions of devotion and determination
regarding the result. Never, in our recol-
lection, has the time been, when popular
attachment was so strong towards any
American statesman, as it now msnifests
itself towards President Lincoln. Long
before the fourth of next July. there will
be such yelling up and expression of
public sentiment in regard to his re-elec-
ton, that caucusses and conventions will
be useless sppendsges Of political action.
It now looks as it the Union men of the
country will have no need Of National
Buffalo Express.
