made to this argument. AS Gen. Grant never
would have been candidate for President but
for his four years residence at West Point,
New York has nearly as valid claim upon
him as upon Mr. Colfax; and as the future
Mrs. Colfax may, for aught the world knows,
be selected in some Of the Eastern, Southern,
OF Pacific States, it remains to be determined
whether either Gen. Grant or Speaker Coliax
are. in the full sense of the word, Western
men. Gen. Grant, as q soldier, may be regarded
as having been born at West Point, entered
college at Fort Donelson, got nearly his hrst
and certainly last thrashing at Shiloh, graz,
uated at Vicksburg, went into livery anu
extensive practice at Chattanooga, and retired
upon handsome competency after some heavy
and successful operations in Virginia. truce
therefore, to all efforts to sectionalize OF local
ize the fame of our really national men. ILL
nois takes no more stock in Gen. Grant than
PENNSYLVANIA, and Indiana can no more appro-
nriate Colfax than New-YOrk. Apart from the
constitutional prohibition against taking both
candidates from the same State, let there be
no sectional representation. 1t was the attempt
to represent section that brought johnson
"into the world. and with him all our wOe."

Our correspondent in Atlanta mentioned tho
other day fact in relation to the Georgia
Convention which we commend to the consid-
Grafton of the Copperhead press. At least one
third of the members are ex-Rebel soldiers
The Democratic papers have been representing
them as adventures, Northern Radicals, con-
temptible partisans, the scum OF the earth
But, in fact, among our best friends in the South
are the men who fought brayely in the South
ern armies, and now, accepting their defeat with
solderly franlness, are anxious to give their
best energies to the reconstruction Of their
States.

4 NRW OPPRESSOR OF THE SOUTH

A
The Richmond Examiner, which devotes its
editorial columns mainly to working up war
of races in the South, and which hollis over, as
usual in abuse of everything that is from or in
the North, has at last found another malignant
enemy of the South, and pitches in after this
fashion:
"The ways OF Providence truly inscrutable Often
they are IN such apparent conflict with that goodness
and mercy with which they really instinct that the
afflicted guish If hrsaken OF God, while their ol
pressOrs point to their prosperity as proof OF His
special favor. Such IS the Souhs present case Tyrdn
nlzed outraged by man. the skies have been
propitious Consuming drouths AZ wasting inunda
tons have ruled the seasons. and the light and the
have reaped tho maturing haryests. Tho helds
prise and industry have been instead
Of benefit. and in place OF relief have resulte
in fresh disasters But perhaps this blight OF our agr
speedcr end The trial made sharper and that
tmey be shortened The conflict OF white and black Is
quickly and forever. The fanacs, like Parhasus, would
prolong the seses OF the South for their purposes
and profit, and exut they exclam, Sec how fine
agony works upon her brOwp But by wasted fields and
ca misrule intensified In their legitimate action and
will exhaust tho patience and tho ndgna
on OF the most caous heart and the most sunber
Ing conscience and thus secure relief II may be- before
all is lost Tor all his hOcere' The North must day
stDeror her positive wrongs, and for the remedial sGer
'ngs of q counterdcfhg Iroridenee."
We would not be irreverent; but 1t is diff
cult to repress q smile when one sees in down
right earnest the threat of Virginia editor to
avenge the evils Of drouth and unproductive
tillage upon the cursed Yankees, and get even
with God Almighty by giving New-England
something to suffer for.
New-York tribune., 1868-01-04

A correspondent, referring to the railroad ca
tastrophe at Angola, suggests the substitution
of air-tight wood stoves for coal stoves in cars
and that they be fastened securely to the floor.
We hope to be spared the experiment of test
ing in our proper person whether burning coal
or burning wood, if upset in railroad smash.
would cook q frst-class passenger the more
expedtiousy. Whether stove can be fast
ened securely in its place, SO as to remain there
through a smash-up, may be doubted; but If it
could, it may be well to consider whether the
same fastening should not be applied to the
passengers, or whether the stove should not be
large enough for all the passengers TO ride
"insider in case Of an emergency.
New-York tribune., 1868-01-04

There is unfortunately reason for believing
the report that the incorrigible old Jack-in-the
box, Santa Anna, has started up again In
Mexico and is cursing Yucatan with o fresh
attempt at revolution. He is terrible aftc-
ton to his native country, and up to the
present advanced period of his career has been
of no particular benefit to any portion OF the
human race, not even to himself. The best
thing ho can do now is to come back to New
York and open a cigar-shop. lie can no harm
in the United States, because nobody will mind
him; and if his course here does not promise
to be brilliant, it is likely at least to be safe.
New-York tribune., 1868-01-04

The, Chicago Tribune, commenting upon ar
ticles from the Eastern press in favor of the
nomination of Speaker Colfax for Vice-Presi-
dent, in the event of Gen. Grants nomination
for the Presidency, modestly suggests that
since it devolves on the West, as n section, to
present tho name of Gen. Grant, it would i'll
become them to present also n name for Vice
President. If the nomination of Mr.. Colfax Is
called for from the Eastern, Central, Pacific,
and-should the South then be representative

nomination with oil the overwhelming enthu-
siasm of which the West is capable Our CO.
temporary naivcly suggests, moreover, that,
after all, these candidates are not wholly
Western. Gen. Grant is q native of Ohio, born
and bred buckeye" and an Illnosan only
by adoption. Schuyler Colfax isa native of New
York, whence he migrated to Indiana, but is
now as well known and as popular in his native
State rs in that Of his adoption.

We have news from Mexico that the I'm.
perialists who had been condemned and par
doned for their adhesion to the Government Of
Macmillan, as well as those whose sentences
had been suspended, have been ordered into
exile. This is disappointing intelligence. The
sensible and liberal attitude of the Mexican Re
publcans toward theirconquered adyersares was
the best guarantee we had seen for the future
peace of the country. If reign OF vengeance
and prescription is to be inaugVreted, the fu-
ture looks dark indeed.

Since the execution of the three Manchester
Fenians it appears TO have been the chief OBJ
ject of the Gable dispatches to create strong
feeling against tho Fenians. From day TO day
they have been charged with committing the
most outrageous offenses. We have several
times expressed our doubts as to the accuracy
of these reports. The Cable dispatch in yes
terday's TRIBUNE charging the Fenian Brother
hood with attempting, for the sake of murder
OF plumber, an attack upon M. Mathew, a
brother of the late Father Mathew, is so glar-
ingly unjust as to make it very probable that
these Cable dispatches are for large part base
inventions of agents of the English Govern
ment. 1t deserves to be noticed that the
Fenian organization strongly denounce the
Clerkenwen explosion as the work OF English
agents.

The celebrations Of the recent 1st of january
as the anniversary Of Emancipation in America
remind us that we have now two Fndepend-
ence days-one for the white race, another for
the black. The Fourth of July and the First
of January-the Declaration of Independence
and the Proclamation of cipation-Georgo
Washington and Abraham Lincoln-1776 and
1863 The bowling Of oil the rcactionary der
wishes will never sunder the historic alliance
between these dates, these events, and these
leaders. At the celebration in Washington,
Senator Pomeroy declared that to require edu-
cation as a condition of voting from race
whom we had made it crime to educate. was
adding the climax Of insult to ages OF injury.
Gen. Howard stated that the prosperity OF tho
freed race throughout the South is marvellous,
and sustained his statement from the official
reports of his officers. He said that If the
white people refuse to labor and learn, while
the blacks continue to labor and learn, here
after. as heretofore, the latter would soon be
the leading race at the South. Gen. Butler
stated that when he captured New-Orleans no
found two black regiments commanded by
coored officers, the Rebels having the start OF
us in this field of enterprise. While the white
regiments ran away the black stayed, and were
soon mustered into the Union service. They
represented $15,OOOOO0 of property, and fought
well. Gen. Butler thought the Southern COM
plant that the negro was in power already i'll
agreed with their fears that he is going to
risen If he is already in power will he rebel
against himself9 Similar celebrations occurred
in Boston, Richmond, Charleston, and elsewhere
throughout the South.

A few days ago, in referring to the murder
of Congressman Hamilton by his insane son,
and TO the dreadful catastrophe on the Lake
Shore Railroad the earthquakes, and various
accidents and crimes with accounts of which
our columns were flooded, we asked: "What
"shall be the end of these thingsf' The reader
will hardly suppose that such an ejaculation
called for specific answer, yet it has been
given, and the cause of all these disasters also:
it is because Radical Abolitionism has got
possession of the Government, and the for
tunate discovery has been made by The DEM
ocrat of Bangor, Maine. Read below, and know
that to prevent railway slaughters, to bottle
I'D earthquakes, to ruin insurance companies
by putting an end to fires-in short, to extir-
pate every form of dsaster-you have only to
hurl the Radicals from power:

men have for some time been canvassing ways

David T. Valentine, Clerk of the Common

years permanent officer in the City Hall. He

from experience the history Of tho City Gov
ernment. That he has discharged the duties
of his place conscientiously and intellgently,
no one doubts; indeed the attempt to get him
New-York tribune., 1868-01-04

out of the way, when one considers the char
aeter of those who are engaged in the effort,
is pretty conclusive evidence that he ought 10
be retained. We have no particular feeling IN
the matter; but it seems not only hard but,
so far as the public is concerned, at least
ipiudicious, to send off an old servant who has
spent nearly all his life in merely clerical
office and who, We may add, has done such
valuable service in exploring and explaining
the history of our city.
