GENERAL GIANT AND Standardization
Grant does not make speeches, and rome con

But they demand entirely different qualities
One requires the power to persuade. the 9TH
or the power to rule. The builder Of sentences
Is often far other than the builder Of States. A
man may for years attack and defend various
public measures with vast learning and dexter
ity-he will overflow with language In showing
chow not to do IT," but Is dumb when CON-
PEELED to achieve an immediate, wise, and posi-
bic result.
Men Of executive power. In all countries. have
often been preferred by the people to brilliant
writer's and speakers. Washington, jackson,
Taylor, and Harrison were neither Of them ora

ca can boast. at 10 the nature Of party In
England" says Lord John Russell" to ask the
assistance Of men Of genius, but to follow the

But Gen. Grant acts eloquence; the brave
words Of other men he puts into deeds what
orators splendidly say, he silently does. "speech
Is silver" says the proverb, "but silence Ia
golden" More public men have been injured
BY the fatal facility Of auency than BY voiceless
action. The highway Of political life Is marked

We must confess that we are somewhat sur
priscd ut the nomination Of Seymour and Blair,
by the New York Convention, and We think the
intelligence caused much surprise among oil
classes Of politicians. Seymour has few equals
as o statesman, and few men could have been
chosen who would have given moro general sat-
isfsction among the "unterri6ed," yet at the
same time. We think that he was not the man,
to lead OF In tho coming election. Almost any
good Democrat nominated by the Convention,
would have received the unanimous vote Of the
party, but what was wanted, was good con-
sentative man, that would have secured not only
the old line Democrats, but also brought TO the
party the aid Of large number Of Conservative
Republicans who have become disgusted with
the Radical measures promulgated and suppor-
ted by their party. The Republicans well knew
this aud feared Chase or Hanoock's nomination,
and on the countenanoe Of every Republican We
met there was an expression Of plea sure at the
mere mention 81 the selection, made by the con-
vention. II took big load of their back, and
put heavier one on the Democrats.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, Mr.. Pendlston'l

that "there Is no comparison between him and
Mr.. Grant, either politically or personally" II
regrets his nomination. "IIe was originally Ii,

fsrred, with extraordinary unanimity, the Hon.
George II. Pendleton; but, Owing TO adrer" CIR
cumstanees, he has been defeated, and the nom-
nation has fallen upon Gov. Seymour"
What the Enquirer means by "adverse cir
cumstances" Is clearly explained by the follow
ing remarks made by II Last week, concerning
the opposition to Pendlcton;
"Mouey has already been freely used anst him, and
this fact Is weknown here" THE bond-hoders de-
temned defeat him. and he beaten by any candi-
date In the field against him. Il will be because money

UNDER WHICH cur.

The Democratic party for the last twenty
years have bocn extensively engaged in pulling
wool, and up to within eight years have met
with unbounded success. The geographical ele-
mcnts Of the party have had adverse interests
when those interests were rightly understood.
and the party were obliged to devote . large
share Gifts energies in humbusying that ele-
iaent which was the baser Of the two. But the
little joker was discovered In 1860 and this e1-
tensive gambling house Was Obliged to suspend.
In 1854 the party losing the electoral support
Of It's southern element failed to obtain license
TO renew operations, but again comes forward
with Its thimbls rigging tools, and attempts the
process Of deceiving the people, II Il can. But
the great mistake that Il now makes more than
at any other time, Is, that Il docs not perceive

that, but there u harm in denying II, because II

our genial Bro. Shaw quotes, viii not, and do

What the object Of that consulta ton was We
cannot stats 20 definitely, and Il can better b
surmised. Tho next day ater that meeting
one Of our dear Brothers intimate but injudi-
cious friends and almost Of his own household,
met Republican and told him that meeting
had been held at Alfred on the proceeding day
by the leaders Of the Democratic party, and that
Il was decided to make Mr.. Shaw candidate.
Now there ID no harm In his being candidate,
not In the least, especially since Il IL notorious
that he desires nightly the nomination, and

this assertion II We die for Il, or even at the risk
Of being thought our polite brothers champion.
He shall have the nomination, % he shall, II he
wants II, but he Is too shrewd not to know that
he must get somebody to work for him, and II
they work why should they not Be rewarded
This brings US to the last part Of the story.
We do not care fsrthing rushlight how far
q programme was made out for the county DEM
ocratic Convention at this meeting. We only
know that our information was gained, unso-
licited by us, from two persons Of eminent Dem
ocratic authority. and we have their written
testimony. We shall see how near they hit the
mark when the convention is held, but sure II Ia
that mark has been hit.
