A Baltimore dispatch says: The Grant
enthusiasm continues, and now clubs,
advocating him for the Presidency, are
daily forming. 1t is thought here If he
runs simply with his own past record
us a platform, be will carry Maryland
against the Democracy and its rebel
allies. The Union men and Republic
cans, even extreme Radicals, say be is
sound enough for them, and the thou.
sands of recent disappointed Office seek
crs declare they are sick of the Democ-
racy and will vote for Grant, no matter
who or what party dominates him.
General Basil W. Duke has published
n letter, considering what Kentucky
should require her candidate for tho
Presidency to indorsc. He says Horatio
Seymour is not, perhaps, the man to
trust; General Sherman's Every decided
idiosyncrasy" units him for Kentucky's
support; Seymour, of Connecticut, is
not ar available, but Mr.. Pendleton, he
thinks, dis the coming and the desirable
man.
The Harrisburg Telegraph concludes
an article on the Presidency as follows:
"And the choice of q candidate for
Vice President is of no less Importance.
Accidents have happened which ought
TO impress this fact very forcibly upon
the minds Of public men. If General
Grant shall stand where VI believe he
stands, the selection Of Grant and Geary
to lead the Republican hosts would rom
der victory certain. Pennsylvania de-
serves tho choice for Vice President ;
and in all her borders she has not a
more illustrious son than our Executive.
Grant has been tried as by fire, and
failed never. With such leaders, vic
tory would be certain"
The Nashville Banner asserts that, at
an early day, President johnson will
issue an address announcing that he is
not q candidate for reelection. The
Banner also states that bio will take up
his residence at Nashville ut the close
| of his present term of office.
The Newark IN. J.) Cri,is, which has
hitherto doubted the policy of Grants
nomination, has On article on the SUBJ
ject, from which we quote the following:
We are Of those who have desired
some authoritative statement Of the pre-
else opinions ofthe General in reference
to the vital principles Of the Republican
policy-such as manhood suffrage and
the like-before committing ourselves
Internationally to the movement for
his nomination; but recent events would
seem to satisfactorily settle his status,
and eveu If it did not, it is quite safe to
conclude. that, with the people every
where rallying to his standard, nothing
is to be gained by opposition on the
part Of any who desire, and realize the
necessity Of the perpctuation Of Repub'
lican supremacy. Whatever may be
Grants opinions rs to some individual
points Of the party policy, no one car
question his points Of the party policy,
no ono can question his elevated loyalty
or his general acquiescence in the plar
of reconstruction under which thu
Southern States are now preparing tt
resume practical relations with thu
Union. Hc would not certainly usurT
the power of the legislative department
Of the Government, or usc his authori
ty to obstruct the work of restoration
He possesses, moreover, in q high degree
that practical sobriety Of judgmen
which is so essential to wisdom and pru
dcncc in the Executive Office, MS a safe
guard against rash and ia~considerat'
enterprise, and is withal in undoubtct
sympathy with the feeling in favor o
retrenchment and q stable adjustment
of our fnances-a matter which is b,
no means the least important Of thu
many which must occupy the attention
of the next administration. He would
in q word, be safe, if not a brillian
President, and though he might b'
slow, rs Mr.. Lincoln was, in accepting
new theories, would like him be sure.
