TIE Republican says that it is not absolute
ly indispensable that the democrats should
select their candidate before November.
The system Of electors gives them some
weeks of grace, should they not be able to
swing all round the circle before then -
The convention can be held at the regula r
time. The same old platform will do.
The resolutions can be reprinted from
the files of 1864, leaving out perhaps
that which proclaims the war failure,
and the space for names may be left
blank. Nobody cares who the candidate,
ara to be. Nobody would vote for them,
any way, who was not prepared to swal-
low any dirty dish that could be cooked
in the party kitchens. Really, this re-
source for postponement is quite providen
tisl. Contemporary evidence torbids US
to suppose that our fathers, when they
framed the constitution, had in mind such
an exigency as that Of the democratic pare
ty at the present time, but Providence
may have had it in its eye for all that
Evidently the chances of democracy are
better than we thought.

We are in receipt of the HerdM Of
Peace, published Monthly by the "IIerald
Co." Chicago ILL., 1t is well printed
and ably conducted sheet, and the pub
fishers are evidently in earnest. We rec
ommend it to the Society of Friends ard
other peace men, though personally we
are not much in sympathy with that way
Of looking at the matter War is an evil,
bat anarchy is much worse one. The
employment of physical force in some
form is secessity to efficient government
and will be until the dawn of the millen
mum. But the principles of the Peace
Society, legitimately carried ont, would
abolish all physical force in the eniorce-
mcnt Of the internal laws Of the state, no
less than the laws of nations. Prisons
would be untenated, arrests unheard of,
and penalties a myth, without any change
in the moral constitution OF man which
would warrant the removal OF the res.
traints Of the law. II, by the advocacy
OF peace, is meant the preparation Of the
human heart for obedience to laws with
out penalties, then it is better to labor fol
that end directly and through aeencie,
which will be much mere likely to ac'

4 TIMELY WoRK 1t is announced
that the house of J b. Burr & Co, of
Hartford have in press work entitled
"Grant M Soldier and Statesman"
which will be ready for publication,
shortly, and will be sold by subscription
The title intimates its contents. 1t will
no doubt be eagerly sought for as soon as
it appears. The country is de,irous of
some accurate account Of General Grants
whole course in the field Of politics, rs
well as Of battle. Ample means for Illus
trating his opinions upon the questions of
the day, exist in his reports, letters and
acts though this fact is generally lost
sight of If the materials are properly
used, it will appear that in the field of
politics ms well as war, General Grants
forte is action and his "headquarters" al
ways properly, that he is as reliable as
II Statesman, as he is Soldier. The
name OF the author has not yet been an-

is by one Of the ablest and most conscien-
