The Coming Man.


! The Democrats of this section have
little knowledge of their probable candi-
date for next President, and will thank
us for malxinghim better known to them.
His name is George IL. Pendleton, and
he lives at Cincinnati, Ohio. His father,
Nath'l G.. Pendleton, was scion OF an
eminent Virginia family, who migrated
to Cincinnati some fifty years ago, prac-
| ticed law and made handsome fortune
there, and was chosen to Congress as
| Whig in 1S40, beating the Hon. Robert
| II. Iytle, his Democratic competitor, by
ten majority If our memory serves
(Hamilton County was strongly Demo-
cratic in those days, but was carried that
year for Gen. Harrison on the Presiden-
tial vote which followed the State Elec-
ton aforesaid.)
Nathaniel G. Pendleton was an excel !
lent, though not great man. His son
George has rather more cultivation and
perhaps more natural ability, though far
| from being genius. But he is thor
! ough gentleman in manner and address; |
and if, outside of his politics, he ever did |
an unjust or unworthy act, we never |
heard OF it,
We think he will be the Democratic !
candidate for next President, for these |
reasons: Il
The party is now on its high horse, and |
/ not likely to stultify itself as it did when |
! it ran a General on Peace platform. 1t
believes it may consult its wishes rather
than its fears in choosing its standard
bearer, and is not likely to be undeceived

pably as MIR. Clay ever did those of the
Whig party. A Wing by education, he
is Democrat by conviction and by de-
lberate choice. In Congress, through
ont the War, he never made speech nor
