THE TRANSCRIPT.
Friday, May Is, 1868.
rhc Coming Canpai0n.

On the Goth Of the present month the
penpbliean National Convention viii
mot ot Chicago to nominate candidates
+obo supported ley Republicans for the
oeioe Of President and Vice President of
The United states, and to put forward
one,r . platform Of principles. There
ON he no doubt that Gen. Z. 5. Grant
viii he the choice Of the Convention, as
he isofthe people, FOR the first Office, and
ne sincerely trust that the strong name
orfhat true patriot, Hannibal Hamlin,
win be selected for the second.
The Democracy, or asithas been more
properly called in view of its half sup
norf of 1Ir. johnson, and in view Of one
Of its characteristics, the Demijohnson
marty wiz make its nomination Of stand
ard bearers in New York, on the 4th
Of July. according to the issued call.
W mink that policy VIII dictate TO
MAT party the nomination Of a western
man. and that Alr. Pendleton viii be lis
choice. but the Democrats are so at sea,
and so totally radderless since The death
Of slavery. that we acknowledge it very
difficult to make as reasonable pTedic-
ton Of what they avW do as of what
they ought to do. IfWilkins Micawber
was now alive, it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that hewould secure the first place
upon the ticket, witha hope that "some-
thing might turn up 1t would be
short way for Cloth wilkins and his
Dinah' to 'slcepin one gravo;" but we
cannot except such q pleasing and melo-
dramatic exit for the Democracy. They
VIII, in The present unsettledstate ofthe
country, and Of mems minds, make
spirited campaign ifpolitic nominations
are made; and hence we expect a warm
and exciting political canvass during
the summer and fall; and if the people
do moi well understand the issues before
election day, il viii not be because Of
the want Of opportunities to hear both
sides. Upon fair hearing Of both sides
we are content to trust the decision Of
the question ofwho our next rulers shall
DE, and the remainder Of reconstruction,
and for the reason that we think the in
tellegent judgmentof the people is 10 be
trusted,
The addition of a Presidential cam
paign to the usual fall elections viii pro-
duce a spirited contest; and so far AZ our
moderate abilities extend, we hope to
use them for the cause which seems to
H. nearest right, discussing questions as
fairly as our knowledge viii allow, and
in the interest OF the people more than
of parties.
