New YoRK MAY %.
The Union League last evening. in
their resolutions approving Of the Chic
ago platform, pledged themselves to
MAINTAIN the the national credit and save
1t from every open or iuSidious attempt
at reputation.
The Ir.buae is Of opinion "that since
the days of Washington and Adams, We
have had none more worthy Of the over
whelmlng unanimous support of the
American people without distinction of
party. The platform is fair temperate
and firm.
The Times thinks the selection Of these
men as candidates AID the entire absence
OF any thing like intolerance and bitter
ultraiSm in the platform has brought
bac, to the Republican party it's old uni-
ty Of sentiment and will inspire it to a
renewal of It's old enthusiasm. 1.-THE
clouds which "A week ago seemed to threat
Ell its future nave already disappeared.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says Gen.
Grant deserves this office because he has
not sought it by any effort or intrigue
He has avoided all political associations.
Schuyler ColtaX, ot lndiuaua, is nomina-
ted for vice President, upon the ticket
with General Grant. This is a most ju-
dicous choice and calculated to give gen
eral satisfaction. Grant and Colfax
make strong ticket, ana it will be pop
uiar throughout the country
From the Philadelphia Press.
The first soldier Of the nation and the
direct choice OF the people. was really
nominated, not al Chicago yesterday,
but months ago IN the homes and hearts
Of his countrymen. For once the con
vention system has answered its inten-
ted constitutional functions and recorded
accurately the beating Of the popular
heart
Schuyler Colfax, of Tnainan. was prob
ally the personal, unbiased choice Of
more individual citizens than any other
one of the prominent candidates for the
Wee Presidency, He is not politician
as we accept that word or at least he
does not bear the reputation of being
one, and to that view his nomination is
gratifying evidence of the integrity and
healthy life of the Republican party.
Never before, at least in our times, has
a ticket been placed in the field which
sprang so directly from the will Of the
people.
From the T;tasvile PENN Hearld
The nations heart beats joyfuly
again. 1t feels peace, pride q conf
dence, a strength, an enthusiasm, such
as always inspire people, in the great
moments of their history.
From the Phiadelp!.ia Post.
Grant and Coltax These are the
men who will call out the enthusiasm Of
the people and make victory in Novem-
Der a certainty. The Republieaa tieket
has all the elements of popularity, and il
would have been impossible for the con
vention to have chosen better leaders
From the Buffalo Advertiser CONSERVATIVE
With regard to the name which has
been secured for the second plcae upon
the ticket, but little has been said. OF
all the names which were prominently
canvasSed in the convention, that OF
Schuyler Colfax was the most accept
able.
