rHE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.


victory. They represent the young
manhood of the Republic. In the bloom
and prime of life counting by years,
both are veterans in public service, and
neither has eve failed to keep i~nviolate
the trust reposed in him by the nation.
There is something remarkably appro-
pirate in the selection Of these men to
lead us to victory in the campaign be-
fore US. The Republican party is still
in its bloomy youth and vigor, and
health and robustness are its distin.
gushing traits. Its leaders are on the
sunny side of their manly prime,
healthy, robust, clear.eyed and honest
men. They are likewise men Of great
force Of mo raj character, abstemious,
active and frugal. The approach Of
these men in their respective stations,
is never by their consent hsralded BY
the noise of trumpets. Plain, unosten-
tatious, and modest, yet there are not
two names in the country so we'll known,
or W public men so universally loved
and respected.
Did the p%referment Of these, our lead
ers, depend upon %chicanery and in.
trigue, they would never, by their con-
sent, be preferred for any place in the
gift of the people. Nor have they sought
the honor conferred upon them. Their
nomination was the spontaneous act Of
the Republican masses. Long ago the
eyes of loyal men were turned toward
General Grant as the man above all 9th
ers fttest to conduct the nation out OF
its difficulties. For three years the
falsehood of Andrew Johnson had dis
gus,ed and d%ishesrtened the people.
The tried probity and fidelity Of General
Grant presented itself in striking con-
trast, and turning from the debauched
and fallen President to the modest hero
of the war was natural. In accepting
the nomination General Grant has con-
seuted to a great sacrifice. His position
is already equal to his ambition, and he
has no liking for political strife. Confess
ssdly the mark ofthe highest public ad-
miration, as the chief whose strategy
and indomitable will forced rebellion to
its knees, he has ever sought to escape
noisy demonstrations Of recognition.
No military hero since Washington has
shown so much genuine modesty and
lack Of self-consciousness as be. It 10
for this, with his spotless record in
view, that the people have determined
to bestow upon him the marks Of their
highest appreciation. He will wear his
new houors as modestly rs be wears the
laurels Of victory, and will fully justify
the confidence reposed in him by a
grateful people. As he led our armies
against treason in arms, so he will lead
the loyal masses against the treason
which Turks in high places, and has a
city Of refuge wherever there shall DO
found q partisan Democrat. As he
drove treason to bay south Of Richmond,
and received the arms and standards Of
its battered legions, so will he lead rs
in the struggle which, in the good
Providence Of God, is to purify the
sources Of power in a constitutional
manner, and make the ballot what it is
claimed to be, and ought to be-the
agent of the will Of the freeman.
Republicans, we must to work. No
miracles will be vouchsafed to carry
forward our standard and plant it in the
forefront of national progress. The
victory is to be won by concerted labor.
Its promise-the better establishment OF
Neutrality-suspicious. US on. To pause now
is defeat, as to press on is certain VIC
tory. We cannot turn back. That way
brings US face to face with the men who
laid their lives O sacrifice upon the altar
of our liberty. Forward and foremost
is the bat,le-word. The means and ap-
~pliances Of national greatness are with
US. The means and appliances Of ma
| tioual defeat and humiliation are with
our opponents. It is truly a trial by
battle between Right betrayed, and
Wrong, privileged and hedged about by
the serried lines Of the votaries of trea-
son. Can the result be in doubt? Not
if we do our duty. Here and there .
banner wavers and goes down in the
dust Of defeat. Here and there a weak
or corrupt man struggles from the Re-
publican ranks, or falls out and faints
BY the way. But these are included in
the sum of all contests between good
and evil. 1t is for the average Of time,
and for tho race, that we do battle.
Unless all signs are delusire, we are on
the eve Of the closing struggle, which
is to give the political organizations OF
to-day their rank and order in history.
If for no other reason, then for this, we
must press forward, and leave no effort
untried to win the rank Of the party Of
national progress md rehabilitation.
II we would increase our volume and
force, we must increase our faith in the
force and Importance Of Truth when
ehampioned by men Of thought and
action. Forward, then, and foremost
in the struggle for the preservation and
perpetuity Of our free institutions.
