to maintain among the great powers Of the
earth the imperial position to which the United
States are summoned by manifest destiny, IS
a task for the combined energies of the entire
American people, directed by the wisdom and
experience of statesmen compared with whom
the pigmy politicians of the present day Will
sink into utter insgnifoance and oblivion.
Patriotism must take the place of greediness
for official spoils. Broad and generous views
of domestic and foreign policy must be substl-
tuted for narrow and bitter sectional preJu-
dices. Questions of finance, and other
branches of political and social economy, must
assert their vital Importance, and wrang ing
over dead institutions must cease. The ART
of governing must no longer be reck-
oned among the lost arts. None Of the requi-
sites which such thoughtful writers as Ausaldo
Ceba and Henry Taylor, the one in his
"Citizen Of a Republic" " and the other in 'Ihe
Statesman" have proved to be indispensa-
BILE in the rulers of powerful State, should
be any longer neglected. The popular mind
should be trained to recognize and demand
high standard of excellence in the selection OF
their leaders. 1t should become the universal
conviction that it is a blessing to have at the
head of affairs the most intelligent and capable
men that can be found in the country. Intel
ligence, and not black ignorance, should rule
The insidious attempts of any party whatever
to exercise despo,ic control by the aid OF the
ignorant and degraded should be Indignantly
denounced. Nor should that undue jealousy
of superiority be initiated which impelled
the fierce democracie" Of Athens to ostracize
its best and noblest citizens. "a statesman" !"
we are told, ''should follow public opinion.
Doubtless as a coachman follows his horses;
having firm hold of the reins, and guiding
them" Incalculable mischief has been
wrought by high placed folly and imbecility.
We have suffered enough from.mediocrity and
weakness ON the part of our Chief Magistrates,
and such qualities should no longer recon-
mend a candidate. Let us not fear to trust
the reins of government to a firm hand. The
name of Grant heads long list Of heroes who
have fought for the unity of the nation. lg.
noring alike North, East, West, and South,
these men of deeds and not of words have
comprehended and sought the welfare of the
whole country. By bringing out the latent
forces of people, unconscious of its resistles;
might and organizing these forces for victory
they crushed the most formidable Rebellion
which any government ever encountered. l
they were to carry into politics the grandeur
of the views and the energy which they
evinced in war, they would conspicuously
illustrate the new era for American states
manship. They would be the statesmen 0
our future.

Another Democratic Convention. J


From the ~. Y Tribune
The World, apparently speaking in the in
terest of our city hotels and restaurants, pro-
poses that a convention be held of those Demo-
Gratis who suffered from arbitrary arrests
during the Lincoln reign. Such convention
could only be lodged and fed in New York city,
and it would tax our resources to the utmost.
There were arrested, without warrant or any
lawful process whatever, other than the arbi-
trary orders of the Secretary of War, at Fort
Doneson is, 900; at VicSsburg, $4,000; at
Chattanooga, $4,000; at Appomattox and the
other closing arrests, say 100000, besides an
aggregate on other miscellaneous occasions of
about 200, 900, making in all at least 425, 600
Democrats arbitrarily arrested without war
rant or process during the Lincoln
reign" This would amount, according to
the most carefully prepared tables OF loga-
rithms, to six in bed, exclusive of
any other veTmin, for every Democratic
couch in the State of New York including
those at Sing Sing and Auburn. The thing is
too big. II can't be done. If the intention is
to convene only those who were arrested in
Northern States, the question arises, were
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, and Missouri
Northern States If so, the arbitrary arrests
made at Gettysburg and Antietam, in Nor
be included. Or is it intended to exclude all
who fought openly in Rebel uniform, and
admit only the st. Albans raiders, the burners
Of the New York Orphan Asylum, the agents
employed by Blackburn to introduce yellow
fever into New York. the conspirators to
resist the draft in Ohio and Indiana, to un-
loose the prisoners at Camp Douglas, Chicago,
and to assassinate President Lincoln and his
Cabinet If these are the parties to be sum-
moned, it becomes an important question
whether the meeting had not better be deferred
awhile. 1t would be a great dscourtesy to
hold such a convention unless it could be pre-
sided over by J. Wilkes Booth, as Chairman,
with the assistance of Paine, Atzeroth, Surratt,
Blackburn, and others equally distinguished
as Vice-Presidents. So many of these have
reached their final destination, and the rest
are so plainly on the way, that it would save
heavy expense in lights and fuel to wait till
they have all got there We have no desire
to be present at the convention, or to send any
of our reporters. But we venture to predict
that, for the first time in the history of Demo-
cratic Conventions, cold water will be in lively
demand and the supply limited.
