rag PHILADELPHIA coNvErTioh AND THE RADI-
GALS,
Radical leaders here beray moro anxiety in regard to
tho Philadelphia Convention than they dare admit It
Is said they will endeavor to defeat the objects Of
convention by manipulating Southern wires through
such instruments az Hamilton of Texas Browniow OF
Tennessee, Holden OF North Carolina and others, 10
secure Southern delegation to the convention OF the
most violent and ultra Southern rights FIRE eating NAL
contents in order that II possible, be created.
They argue that the reception OF such delegates VIII
destroy the influence OF the convention III the North,
while their rejection win be equally damaging TO the
party IN the South Tho game will certainly b. attempted,
but will be by action the part OF the
scrvayes to moderate representatives from all
the southern States, failing in which they viii boldly
CLOSE the doors against any others.
GENERAL GRANT NOT A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRE-
sIDzScY.
II may be stated positively that General Grant will ac
cep nomination for the Presidency for the next term
from party faction whatever. His nomination
would be equivalent to election and his election
would necessarily lead 10 his retirement from public life
the end OF his OF Office He considers himself
ye, young withdraw into retirement; and, while
he PROFESSIONALLY has aspirations for Presidential
honors with which to his Industrious career, he
feels confident that he enjoy such honors eight
twelve or more years hence readily These
ideas have recently been resscd by him to his most
Intimate personal friends, and are unquestonaby the
idoa that will control him, notwithstanding tho power
full influences being used TO his consent to
accept nomination.
THE RADICALS AND THB PRESIDENT.
A noteworthy remark occurs in a recent occasional"
iettor the Philadelphia Press which in view of its
authorship Is considered somewhat significant. Fomcy
