nrroRE THAT II

Many of u contemporaries are look
ING direct to the next National Union
Convention for o determination Of the
issues of the great canvass of 1868.
Blu. may not Congress by its action de-
,ermine those issues, or render tho res
.pective situation Of parties very differ
'ent from the present ~autagonism? The
attempt will undoubtedly be made to
literally settle the issues we arc now an
.ticipating as referred to the next Ma
tional Republican Council, for Prcsideu-
tial candidates and platforms. For
instance: the attempt will be made next
winter to pass q law establishing uni.
versal suffrage in the country. An effort
will be made to pass a proposition for a
Constitutional Amendment, adopting
manhood suffrage" If either of the
above movements carry, then tho issue
of negro and Chinese suffrage is forced
by Congress upon the Union or Repub-
lican party. 1t will be claimed then
that the Convention cannot escape the
issue and how can it? The law sug-
gested will probably fail ; the PROPOSE
ton for a Constitutional Amendment
will make an open question which the
" active boys in Congress will throw
squarely into the National Convention
making it the prime cry : "You must
swear for Universal Enfrauchisement.'
The next Union Convention is to be
"fxed," at Washington, by the Con-
gressional delegations, if it is a possible
thing. We have, as already expressed,
hope and something ever approaching
confidence that their best laid plans, in
the direction indicated, may "gang
awry." The Congress Council missed
fire when Lincoln was nominated the
FIRST and second times. You remember
how bitterly Lincoln was denounced as
a i" usurper," ETC., by the Congressional
conclave, in 1864? It may be that in
1868, there will be nominated by the
Republican party q man upon whom
the Radicals have heaped equal indig-
nifty to that bestowed on Lincoln, o
little over three years age? Qaisn 'adeP
And the present Congress may render
it impossible for the Republican party
to nominate Grant, and may necessitate
the selection of one Of our Nevada Sem
ators for Vice President /! As it now
appears, the prospects really are that
to suit the people with the head of the
ticket and oppose the demands Of the
Congressional politicians, Grant will be
nominated for President and James W.
Nye will be named for Vice President.
That ticket would probably harmonic
the Carson Diet, and restore political
peace to our ~disquieted Capital?
And in this connection we are obtain
ing the names of candidates for dele
gates to the National Republican Con-
v~ention (; all Of whom, we do not doubt,
will hasten to pledge themselves for
Nye for Vice President-as innumerable
political interests and hopes in this
State tend for Nye's advancement.
We shall all look with more interest
than ever before, on a political or par
tisan plane, to the next Congressional
proceedings, for the preparation or fore
ing of issues for the Union party, or in
its name /; and we expect that for dis
tasteful issues the salye Of popular (per-
sonel) nominations will be administered,
or sought to be applied. And if Con-
gress render Nye's nomination for the
Vice President certain or required, CAL
ifornia will have q Vice Presidential can
didate, we believe, in the person Of
Joseph P. Hoge or Milton S. Latham
most likely the latter. In this latter
hint we speak as the loud whisperings
of the Democrats in Nevada leak their
correspondence from San Francisco.
