who Shall be President +?

1t is we'll known that VIC have not advo-
Gated for nomination to prominent civil Offices
any candidate whose merits were wholly or
mainly Of q military character. General
Grant has, as We all know, a total lack Of
such historic political record as pertains to
the names Of most leading men who have
assisted in making the civil history Of their
country famous. His reputation rests upon
the results Of his military career and the
came may be said Of the Generals wi o, in
this canvass, have been spoken Of in con-
ncction with the Presidency. Hancock, as
true soldier as the best, is in so fortunate
situation that nothing can be said against
him. Neither of these men have shown,
(perhaps for the lack of opportunity J
great administrative genius, and no good
reason can be given why thirty millions Of
people should choose either Of them, or any
one Of their class, as their chief executive
officer, to the exclusion Of men Of tried
ability in the guidance and administration
Of civil affairs. ..,
The substantial glory which surrounds the
name of Grant is unapproachcd and unap
proachable; and the world may we'll ell
quire why, if you take for your President a
man from the military, solely on account OF
his military record whynot take your greatest
general; and in the contingency Of the New
York Convention making such nomination,
the argument would certainly bo against
the Democratic party.
We say, give us generals for our battles,
and statesmen for our Presidents. Let this
obviously sound principle be acted on at
New York. and we will be saved the humil.
iation Of marching to battle under the ban.
ncr Of one whose name, glorious though il
be, is yet second on the roll Of military fame.

discovered a dead infant in the old burying

UNDER the caption "Who will be chosen"
the Butler (Pa.) Democratic Herald has
some sensible remarks as will be seen by
the following extracts:
"The Democratic County Convention
which assembled in this place last February
to choose delegates to the Democratic State
Convention, passed a resolution endorsing
the financial policy Of Mr.. Pcndleton, which
looks to the conversion Of the $50 bonds Of
the United States into grecnbacks, thus
saving annually very large interest which
has now to be paid in gold and silver. We
agreed to the conclusion to which the Con-
vcntion came on this subject, and VIC speak
bu. the sentiments Of the Democracy Of this
region when VIC say, that they prefer Mr..
Pcndleton to any other person as yet spoken
Of" .....,..I.
"The Manhattan Democratic Club Of
New York City, has latcrly been making
some calculations, and We do not know but
pulling some wires for other aspirants, in
order to defeat Mr.. Pendeton. This is oil
very well for set Of sclfconstituted polit
ical managers in New York, but they mus'
remember and We say it in no spirit Of un
kindness, that the day when few men car
rule and control the Democratic party ha!
gono-by." ."al ~. rb .N r.
1.-The adoption Of the two.third rule il
our National Convention, was from thu
first, an infamous proceeding. 1t was don't
to concillate the South, aud by men too who
now are the biggist toads in the Radica
puddle, and VIC say lot it go with those whit
invented it. Mr.. Pendleton, We honestly
believe, will have large majority in tht
National Convention, and should this be-
lief provo true, it will be q dangerous exper
imcnt for that Convention to ignore tht
voice Of the majority. The party is always
safe in the love and confidence Of its adhcr
cnts, which sustains their expressed opin
ion." ..-.. .......
ave soy again, il Mr.. pendloton has .
clear and decided majority, he is entitled Il
the nominatian, and if he is cheated out o.
1t by any political manuvcring, those engag
ed in it must take the responsibility"

FRlGIlTFUL Prophecies concerning the
end Of all things Are made by religious en-
thusiasts; aud on the other hand, philoso-
piers insist that the centre OF the earth is
mass of fre-that the poles of the earth
will one day be at the Equator, and that the
sun is gradually fading! Talk like this is
very TERRIBLE but, pending such wholesale
ca'amities, it will be as well for each men,
Der Of society to take care Of his or her
health, and leave the rest to Providence.
The end comes prematurely to all who
neglect the preservation of that inostinabe
blessing. Suffer liver disease, dyspepsia,
chronic constipation or any other aimenl
to take its course unchecked, and it will
assuredly shorten life. 1t cannot be said
that the means of protecting the systems
against the prcdisposing causes of disease
are withheld. The constitutions and physi-
que of the least robust may be so strength
ened and fortified by course of IIOSTET-
TIERS STOMACH BITTERS as to render
them all but invulHcrable, not only to the
attacks Of epidemic disorders, but also to
the ordinary complaints which prevail in all
countries and at all seasons. If the i'm
mense Importance Of PROTECTIVE MEDICA-
ton were universally understood, this i'm
comparable vegetable antidotc, which is al
ready the most popular tonic in the world,
would everywhere be classed among the sta
pies Of life, and no family would dare to be
without it. The time may arrive when this
will be the case, for every year adds hun
dreds Of thousands to the list Of those who

Some Of the testimony taken by James 7.
Brady and General Badly Smith, has just
leaked out. 1t shows what has been so
frequently alleged, that Gen. Butler and his
brother chartered vessels for the purpose Of
sending merchandise and provisions to the
Rebels; purchased cotton and sugar Of the
Rebels: run the blockade and purchased a
vessel for $50, 200, which they chartered to
the Government for $3.50 per day, although
the persons from whom they purchased
offered to charter her for $50 per day. For
these offences General Butler subjected him
self to dismissal from the service and im-
prisonmont. Instead, therefore, of repre-.
trict in Congress, BENJAMIN i, Butler should
