The Republican National Convention

no dead weights to the party, and yielded

arduous duties. -

Grant and Colhxl These are names
which will call out tho enthusiasm OF the
people, aud make victory In November a
certainty. The Republican ticket has all
the elements Of popularity, and II would
have been impossible for the Convention 10

Schuyler Colfax represents the wisdom
Of the Republicao party, and those grand
principles of equal rights upon which Il
has based its measures Of Reconstruction.
His nomination is an additional assurance
10 Radical Republicans that the next sd-
ministration will deal rightly with those
great issues which the close Of the war
opened.

DEMOCRATIC.
From the philadelphia Age.
We shall be as ready rs any Radical to
recognize the military services Of General
Grant Not, however, with the mon
strous exaegeration that ascribes TO his
single merit all the successes OF the war,
and ioreels the gallant men who were with
him, or who elsewhere won signal honors
under circumstances more difficult and dis
couraging than he had TO encounter.
or settled political principle, Grant has
none at all. lie is lalkaliye about horses,
and like topics; but on the great subjects
that occupy the minds Of thinking men, he
has always been mute. Ii is 10, that he
is reserved. for he keeps back nothing; il
is, that he really has nothing to say.
