The carefully -wOrded platform, whercOn Gen
GRANT was last evening presented at Cooper
Institute for President, plainly ignores his sup
port as a Republican candidate, or as the rep
resentatiye OF one diStinctiyely Republican idea
In that platform we find no word OF promise
even, that the loyal governments now being
organized in the Southern States shall be sus-
tained or that the loyal People of those States
who had the misfortune to be born Black are to be
guaranteed any rights whatever. SO far as we
can see, almost any lifelong adversary of Re
publican principles and ideas might stand ON
that platform, and be supported thereon rs 4
candidate for President In the long catalogue
of names paIaded as officers of the meeting
we remark, among those Of many good and true
men, those of several citizens who can only
support Gen. Grant on the presumption that, if
elected he is not to be- nor 10 seem, Republi-
can.
We purpose not to hold Gen. Grant in any
tiOns of those who choose to nominate or 70
support him. We assume that he will speak
for himself at what he shall deem the proper
time, with the frankness of a soldier and the
earnestness of "A patriot. If he is on the right
Side-the side of Humanity, OF Progress. of
Equal Rights and Equal Laws-he will so de-
clare himself, and will thereupon be renowned
by some of the nOisiest and most vehement of
his present supporters. II he shall see fit TO full
fill the expectations of such supporters AS Mont
gomery Blair and Gen. Tom Ewing, IT,, he will
render it impossible for sincere Republicans to
support him. II is idle TO hope that the gravest
and most imminent questions of the hour may
be blinked, and a candidate for President
found, who will satisfy the requirements and
secure the votes at once, Of those Who hold that
all men were created equal, and of those who, on
the contrary, hold that Blacks have no rights
which Whites are bound to respect. The silent
multitude, who do not figure as officers at poll
teal meetings, but whose votes count heavily
IN an official canvass. will be sure that they are
not betraying principle, in subservience to an
Office hunting expediency, before they deposit
their ballots.

A semi-Offcial paper of Paris again asserts
that all the European Governments, with the
only exception of those of Holland and Bel
GUM, have agreed to the proposed Conference.
As similar statements have before been made
by the organs of the French Government, and
subsequently been found to be incorrect, too
much credit ought not to be given to an an
nOuncement of this kind. Austria differs from
England, Prussia, Russia, and Italy in desiring
the meeting of the Conference without definite
programme. That the Pope cannot, however,
rely on an unconditional support of Austria, is
again shown 10y the attitude of the Austrian
Government in the question of the concordat,
with regard to which it has declared TO the
Pope that the Legislature of the Keichsrath
must proceed in its course, regardless of the
concOrdat, should the Pope refuse TO release
the Emperor from its obligations.

The event of the season in the literary world
is the revival of Putnam's Monthly. Its long
repOse seems not to have indicated flight to
the Silent Land, but only Rip Van Wrinkle
slumber, from which it energies, not like the
lost Dutchman, bowed with age and whitened
by the SHOWS of many Winters, but with youth
renewed and its former vigor strengthened
and surpassed. None who knew the Putnam
of old (and who, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc, was not familiar with its genial excel
lences p need be assured that the New Put
nam will not toll slowly mp the steep ascent
to reputation, but, as on the eagles wing will
"stoop to touch the loftiest" hight. In short,
the forthcoming Putnam will quietly and with
out an effort resume its old leading position

Perhaps the plea is true that Darling could not be
elected. No one tell for tried 20 have Darling
elected But II all disposed to consult the interests OF the
city had united upon Darling, they would have shown
courage and pluck and strength. and been nucleus
around which working instead Of merely talking party
OF reform cOnld have rallied and rapidly risen to power
Many Republicans took the advice of the Onhe-rence
sheets and deserted Darling TO vote for Hoffman, so as
to defeat Wood who would have been defeated without
their votes. Behold the result The World claims the
5000 votes that Hoffman has the November ticket
clear Democratic gain In short month, and certain
sign OF the disintegratOn OF the Republican party 10
the pressure to defeat Wood, laughs at IT, and
counts those Republicans who wasted their ballots IN
choosing between evils as swelling the ranks OF the Dem
ocratc party Perhaps they will be so foolish as TO give
The World another opportunity OF boasting."
The Union is mistaken. We did "try to
have Darling elected and so did more than
Eighteen Thousand Voters here. But the
false cry that we were trying to elect Wood
bewildered and paralyzed the Republicans,
many of whom voted for Hoffman to defeat
Wood; a few, possibly for Wood to defeat
Hoffman; while many misunderstanding
that Darling had no characterized to vote
at all. Hence the result.
The World has reason for its belief that
those Republicans who went for Hoffman can
be counted on to keep doing so; yet it may
miscalculate For months, political gamester'
have been trying to weaken the Republican
party by defeat after defeat until it shall b'
brought so low that it will be ready to barte
its principles and betray its humble follower
for better chance to get Office We shall see
after little how they get on.

Again they have flooded Congress and the pcO-

an inmdation Of long-winded harangues, not
intended to effect legislation, but only to
"cach gudgeOns" among their constituents at
home. All the real " information and all the
suggestions which the President and heads of
departments needed to communicate, could
better have been communicated in 0ne-tiftI
the space which they have employed. Each
official seems to have supposed that the world
would iudge of his depth by the length of his
report. The expense and labor of printing so
much stuff to 50 little purpose, and the fact
that through want of relevancy and con-
densatOn the mass of readers have nei-

In the Senate yesterday there was q lively
debate on printing the Presidents Message,
several members taking the ground that it
should not be printed because it was libelous
and insulting to Congress. Mr.. Drake offered
a resolution cenSuring the Message. Mr.. Dixon
defended the President, and made a political
speech. The subject was not disposed of. A
bill was referred 10 amend the RecOnstruc-
ton act SO that majority of those voting, in
stead of a majority of those registered, might
call Convention. A bill was passed declaring
five Judges to be quorum of the Supreme
Court. The Motley correspondence was sent in.
In the House. a resolution was offered de
clarng the duty and intention of this Govern
