YESTERDAY we copied an article
from the Madison Courier, not com
plimentary to some of the Presiden-
tial aspirants in this State. While
we do not endorse that article any
more than an article copied from the
Terre Haute Erpress, a few days be-
fore, we think it well to keep our
readers posted. as far as possible, in
the movements Of the politicians.
This morning we give another batch
of " Presidential Gossip" on our
second page. Political schemers are
busy trying to make some, and un-
make other, aspirants. Every dis
tinguished individual who has an idea
that he can direct the destinies of
this country a little better than they
have ever been managed before, has
his little squad of admirers and ad-
herents-to whom he has promised
many things in the event of success
busy at work manufacturing what is
called public opinion. The principal
aim with all these claquers is to con-
vince the people that their candidate
is the most popular, will make the
best race, and, therefore, should be
nominated if success is any object
with the party. We hear little in
these days of offices seeking men.
The reverse of this has become the
rule. G.5..,.s a..a
1t is long time yet before the next
Republican National Convention, and
we see no necessity for our cotempo-
raries to worry themselves about can
didates. There are numbers of men
in the party, any one of whom will
make an excellent President, if elect
ed to that position. For our part, we
expect, 80 farsas we can Iio~sjudge the
eyents9of the future, to Support the
nominee of the next Republican Con-
vention, and we further expect. to see
the votes Of several Of the late rebel
States cast in his favor. The enfran-
chisement of the negroes-taking the
elections in which they have been
permitted to participate as an indica-.
ton of their intentions-will result in
adding their strength to. that Of the
Union men of the Southern States,
and insure their triumph We antici-
pate that the Union men vii carry
Tennessee by the aid thus afforded,
and other Southern States will follow
her example.
Therefore, let US patiently await the
assembling of the next national con-
vention, and then select as our stand
