TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY al, 1863.
The Next Prcsid ent.

The feeling is growing stronger every day
that the country requires statesman as lis
next President, and that no military leader
however eminent, may be safely intrusted
with the highest civil power A soldier IS
bound by the traditions of class, and would
govern men and States as he rlan@uyreS COM
panies and battalions. From him there cannot
be expected that ripeness of OWL knowledge
that breadth of feeling, that intimate ac-
ouaintance with men, as peoples and as indi-
viduals. and that catholicity of political
creed, which together make up the Presi'
dent whom we need. The difference be-
tween GRANT, HANCOCK, THOMAS and SHER-
lDAN is only one of degrees. They sre oil
educated soldiers, and, therefore, are oil
Objectionable. If any one OF them be
chosen, it will be because, of many e7ils' II
is best to choose the least.
But there are still men in the United
States who are worthy to occupy the presi-
Dental mansion there are still meh amongst
us who. as citizens, scholars and statesmen,
are worthy of confidence and trust. Iney
are hut few in number; but to them are
directed the thoughts and desires of those
who feel most strongly how much depends
on the result of the coming election.
In The Northwest the most prominent
Democratic candidate is GEO. H. PENDLs-
TON, of Ohio, who will probably be voted
for by the West in the approaching National
Democratic Convention. Mr.. PENDIEToN
is a man of strong intellect, practical
statesman, q profound lawyer, brilliant
speaker, gentleman of high position an
honest and upright man; and he has won
the love and the trust of the people who
know him best. More than all, he has been
the firm, steadfast friend If the South, and
has always opposed, with all the vigor al
his command, consolidation policy and The
usurpations of Congress. The Democratic
Conventions of Ohio and Indiana have al
ready pronounced in his favor, and in New
York, meetings have been held for the
purpose of organizing PEADLEToN Clubs Tor
the Presidential campaign.
1t is still too early to speak conclusiveiy
upon the subject of the nomination for Pres
ident; but it is certain that it is Of supreme
importance that no soldiec should be elected
to prepare the way for consolidated mill
tary despotism, and that only such man
should be chosen as may reasonably be e1-
pected to uphold the fundamental principles
of the Federal Constitution, and to restore
to the whole country that freedom and
prosperity which Radicssism has done so
much to destroy.

"Take care of yourself the Devil has broksn looseF
Philip of Frame, to John Ldekland

Take care of yourself the Devil has broksn loosel
flPailip, of Frame to John Lakeland.
There have been theological systems
which have denied the existence OF the
Devil and his participation in human affairs,
but we imagine that the general experience OF
mankind has been rather against the sound
ness of the proposition. Certainly if there
were ever any among US at the South who
INDUCED in any such pleasing fancy, the
present state of things would operate as
very decided deullusionment. Most of the
morality in the world erises from the fear
of consequences. Men have sort of vague,
underlined notion Of an oyerru!irg Power
which Furnishes evil-doess, and the greater
portion of the good, both positive and mega
tive, which we see around us is attributable
TO their fear of the consequences Of evil.
But this sense of accountability is subject
to fluctuations, and thers have been histori-
cal eras when we are tempted to doubt
whether for while it existed at all.
There was phase of belief in the world,
some years ago, which was productive of
very marked effects upon many departments
of thought, and which was not inaptly de-
scribed as muscular Christianity. 1t was
very much sneered at and ridiculed, at the
time, and of late it has not been very prom
inent. But its place in the picture has been
filled up by force which, as so often hap
pens, is its very antithesis, and which we
may analogously call muscular heathenism.
This new force has run rather rampant of
late, and by reason, doubtless, of its greater
fitness for the wants Of that precious COM
position yclept humanity, it has extended
itself far beyond the limits which restrained
is rival. The infceace of CAaLYLS and
CHARLES KINGSLEY was confined compara
lively to literature and yhe kindred sciences;
but tt;s new force of muscular beathenism,
while it does not want its representatives in
that sphere-witness "Guy Livingston and
"Ouida"- has spread over fur wider area.
Whatever may be thought Of the correctness
of their standpoint, teachers like CARLYLE
preached God, but the apostles of the new
faith have no patience with such puerilities.
When priest would cffer the consultations
of religion to ssOuida's" hero, when there
is every prospect of his being incontinently
shot, the ex-guardsman waves him off with
plying smile; and so far as we can gather
from the actions of one who would have con-
siderel it derogatory to the insoueiance of
blue -blcoded guardsnan to have decided
faith in anything, the cloven-footed gentle
man mentioned in PaILIP's caustic caution
To his confederate hts much more of his
allegiance. Literary straws like these are
useful indicators Of the current of popular
opinion; and as it is not in the nature of the
human mind to rest content in negatives, an
unbeIef in what Mr.. CARLYLE calls the
External Veracities is very apt to gene
rate very positive and practical faith in

what we are inclined to believe to be the no

what we are inclined to believe to be the no
less eternal lies.
Strength rules the world. Might-not
reason, power-not wisdom, IS the practical
governor of events. Whatever may be the
case in the long run, the race in the prosaic
work-day, present, is undoubtedly to the
swift and the battle to the hardest hitter.
Perhaps it would not be unreasonable TO
say that the principle which has kept the
world comparatively straight so far has been
the belief that somehow or other "truth is
mighty and will prevail" We do not mean
to impucn the Justice of the maxim, but we
are very much mistaken if a conviction OF
the omnipotence of his Satanic Majesty Is
not gaining ground very fast among u.s.
Men seem to have come to the conclusion
that the Devil is far from being the losing
side, and are acting up to their belief with
praiseworthy consistency. We all remem-
ber the story of the Irishman who' beng
called upon by the priest who was STRIVING
him, to make o dying remuneration OF the
Devil and all his works, declined to do so on
the ground that he was going into strange
country, and didn't want to make himself
enemies. We fancy he has many imitators
nowadays. Meanwhile, honest people,
who may have some conscientious scruples
still about deserting the cause Of Truth, even
though the fat for her destruction has gone
forth, have certainly good need to ponder
the French kings warning.
