Constitution assigns him,
There Is everything In both our candi-
dates 10 inspire tho highest enthusiasm ant
insure tho heartiest and most harmonious
co-operation. To say this Is 20 say that
our ticket ID one Of irresistible strength

From the wsshIog,on Republican.
We place at the head of our columns
this morning the name Of Ulysses 5 Grant
for President, and that Of Schuyler Col
fax for Vice President In doing this we
feel that we arc serving our country in
this hour better than we could possibly do
10 any other way.

A feature Of the action ut Chicago can
not escape condemnation. IL Is In that
which announces the shameful fact that
neither the South, nor the Eas', nor tie
Middle States, nor the Pacific Slope were
considered worthy by the programme Of
the dicialorial control in the premises 10

selection Of candidate either for Presi.
dent or Vice President.
Both General Grant and Mr.. Co.fax
might as we'll have, in the fitness Of things,
been selected irom single city Of the
Northwest, as from their contiguous homes
or our neigbborho, ds. 1t is disgraceful that
great sections Of the Union have been
thus tabooed and prescribed. The columns
OF the Inteligenter have long borne wit
ness to the limited capacities aud abilities
Of the nominees. The double dealing,
shifting aud burrowing Of General Grant,
added TO some waDton acts Of open wrong
on his part, run well in the line Of partisan
bitterness with that course Of Mr.. Coliax
as Speaker, which has scarce ever prefer.

REPUBLICAN.
From the ST. Louis Democrnt.
+ u II 1t is a Western ticket in one
sense. and yet il is not. Grant Is not the
candidate ofany section. Living former
lly iu the West; the movement for bis
nomination originated rather in the East
than the West, and as no section can claim
the exclusive honor Of his nomination, so
none can claim him as its own By residence
lie belongs 60 The country. The whole
country claims him-the regenerated
South and the victorious North. the ma
iure East and growing Wet To all be
is endeared by the same matchless services
for our common nationality, and recon.
mended by his devotion TO principles
equally held dear by all. Mr.. Coiax, on
the other hand, though a Western man,
was not the frs, choice Of the majority Of
delegates from the Northwest, aud was
nominated in effect by the preference Of
the Eastern Republicans. Ills popularity
al tho East as we'll M In his own State,
and on the shores Of the Pacific, gives rea.
son TO believe thLt in either section he will
be found the strongest candidate that
could have been selected.
IL long aud faithful labor can ever de-
serve reward. Mr.. Coliax has indeed Pc
euliar claims for promotion.
u We think the ticket very
strong ono. twill conn and IN the East
stronger general support than the nomi'
nation ofany Eastern candidate could have
done; Il will sweep the West and South,
and the Pacifc States. Taken with the
solid Radical platform so unanimously
adopted il tplaces the party on the smooth
road to decisive victory in November.
DEMOCRATIC.
From the 81. Louis RepublIean.
The great and gratifying feature Of the
Republican Convention at Chicago Is
tho defeat Of ultraism in It's most audaclous
form. That negro suffrage is still the aim
of the majority Of the Radical party, and
that this majority is still inclined TO any
lawless proceeding, and especially 10 the
removal of the President, we do not doubt;
but these tendencies have lost tho prestige
Of being the Acknowledged and leading
ideas of the Republicans party itself.
The shame Jaced politicians are the ones
who in every respect now dictate the law
Of their party. What they really think,
aud what they earnestly desire TO be done,
may be tho exact opposite ofwhat their par
" forces them TO profess. Certain il is that
the defiant policy Of the Radicals il at an
end, and that they will now try 10 conquer
by hypocrisy what they were unable TO
secure by their former audacty. Their
whole platform Is q retreat. They well
know that If il is impossible to force negro
suffrage upon the States Of the North,
those very States can never, without de.
stroying the whole principle Of our Gov
ernment permit IL 10 be introduced in the
South. And yet the cowardly Radicals
took precisely that position. Thinking
only Of the maintenance Of their party in
power, they hoped by this hypocri,ical
course 10 retain the favor OF their newly
made colored Radicals in the South, aud
TO regain the favor of their old partisan
friends in the North. The impeachment
paragraph bears the same hypocritical
