agitation before would have been fatal
to that consolidated impetus which was
required to Marshal the forces Of destruc-
ton against the foe.
We are pleased to have witnessed am
pie evidences Of q disposition TO postpone
sucn differences, to future period, and
to sacrifice every discordant suggestion
upon the altar of the common cause-a
cause st once combining more to ener-
gize the action, stimulate the hopes and
ennoble the feelings Of great and free
people than any which has marshalled
! its hosts upon the arena Of our politics.
A special Washington correspondent of
the Louisville Courier thus alludes to the
cordial feeling existing between the
friends OF two OF the most prominent
candidates
Many Of Hancoek's friends claim for
/ him $50 votes on the Third ballot. The
! kiEdest feelings prevail between him and
| Pendleton, aud the latter has high ad-
miratiOn OF Gen. Hancock as q states
man. Indeed the record made in Loul-
sisna hiss been written ia sueh golden
letters that no one can mistake the in
tellectual superiority OF Hancock. The
letter TO Governor Pease Wss written
without suggestion from any living soul.
The manly sentiments therein expressed
have found q responsive echo in the
hearts Of every American, who believes
in the supremacy Of the civil over militia
~ law. There is peculiarly OF Gen.
Hancock, which gains him the reputR-
ton Of being the only lswyer-soldier OF
the army. His reasonings are Gs CO.
gent IS those OF q practitioner. HissOIid
mind, backed by a heart full Of kindness
and sympathy for our oppressed South
ern friends, will inaugurate new era
of good feeling, should the Democrats
make him President, and we should have
no autGcrat like Grant to subordinate
everything TO military law or to the die
tates of his Radical associates. Meme of
the inhumsn vandalism of tina war can
be laid at Hancock's door. Kind and
considerate, his duties were performed
in what he conceived TO be the proper
spirit, a preservation of his Government
Ia the strictly legitimate manner, with
all possible smeiioTstion of the horrors
Of war. PROFESSIONALLY Gen. Hancock
is the most available and the least OBJ
noxiOus candidate who has been pre-

he can carry of more soldiers votes from
Grant than any body. Arrays U0ting the
Democratic ticket be is unObjecdOnable
to the masses.
Whilst Grant can be successfully at
tackled for his want Of craftsmanship,
the unnecessary slaughter OF his men,
his total incOmpeteDcy te comprehend
civil affairs, and his duplicity and tresch- |
cry towards the President; there is not q 1
solitary point which can be made sgainst
Hancock. The real battle-ground Is to .
be Pennsylvania. With Hancock il is I
not an extravagant assertion to say that /
the Democratic msjOTity will roll up to /
80 GOO. II is wiser to underrSte ones I
own strength than that Of his adversary /
Though hoping other results, it is better /
to claim and to fight for such States as /
will sum up majority of votes, expeAd- (
ing our force only on those where reasOG-
able hopes exist. Now, in looking over
the field, one suggestion presents itself,
which will give use for reflection and &C.
ton. II we run electoral tickets in the
Southern States and the negroes beat US,
are we not pTecluded ia law and honesty (
from cOntesting the right OF the Radicals
TO count these States as legitimate ?
Upon the other hand, If ne make DO
tickets therin, every electoral vote will
be cast against Us aud will be received
by Congress. We Of course claim that
ssch State ought 10 vote under its old
Under the Radical pro-
gramme all the Southern States will
except Texas. Virginia also
will be denied vote, il her people vote
down the black Constitution. Leaving
JUt Virginia and Texas, the electoral
college will sum up 500 votes, recurring
Isl to elect.
