astically shook hands over the nom
nations and expressed the convic-
ton that under such leaders success
was certain. From the encomiums
which were showered upon him
on all hands yesterday, foreigner
might have inferred that Schuyler
Colfax was the "ncxt best friend"
to every man, woman and child in
the United States, and that in des
ignating him for the second place
on the ticket, the Convention had
consulted their individual prefer
ences. AS for General Grant the
position which he occupies in the
affections of his countrymen has
long been understood by all for
eigners.
From the Providence Journal.
The Convention at Chicago has
done it's work gloriously. 1t has
acted throughout with deliberation
and dignity, and in manner every
way worthy of the great national
party in whose name it was conven-
ed. Never since the day when
Washington was placed in the first
magistracy of the republic, has any
nomination for that high position
sprung SO spontaneously from the
hearts of the American people In
the nomination Of the Hon. Schuy-
Ter Celfax it has acted wisely and
in manner that will satisfy and
more than satisfy the Republican
party Of the entire country. In
the resolutions the Convention has
best shown its broad and patriotic
spirit.
From the n. Y. Times.
The Republican National Con-
vention has done its work-and on
the whole it has done it well. 1t
has pat Gen. Grant in nomination
for President, and has adopted a
platform which unquestionably has
the merit. t.-whatever else may be
.tsfa of tiff crz,borayiiTIg tire optn=
ions and sentiments Of a very large
majority of the Republican party
throughout the United States. The
proceedings of the Convention have
been harmonious, judicious, and in
the highest degree hearty and en-
thusiastic and SO far as an opinion
can be formed SO early in the can
vass, and in the absence of all action
on the part of the Opposition, they
seem to promise decided success.
From the Hartford Courant.
The news from Chicago is none
the less welcome because it has
been anticipated In naming Gen.
Grant for the chief magistracy, the
convention has simply given for,
NAL expression to the practically
unanimous choice of the party.
The second place on the ticket
has been filed with the honored
name of Schuyler ColfaS, member
| of Congress from Indiana, and
Speaker Of the House Of Represen-
tatives. When he becomes Vice
President the Senate will acquire a
presiding officer of experience, tact,
and imperturbable good nature,
while the country will have the
satisfaction of knowing that its
second Office is in trustworthy hands.
The Convention has made an unex-
ceptionahle choice.
Its remaining duty has been dis
charged with equal fidelity and good
judgment. It has placed its candi-
dates upon aplatform which is wor-
thy of the party of Abraham Lin
coin. The Republican theory OF
suffrage is reaffirmed reputation
is distinctly and Enthusiastically con-
demned; the resolution in which
the impeachment is referred to is
worded with such wise care as to
give universal satisfaction. The
essential doctrines of the party are
again proclaimed, while minor ques-
tions, on which there is q differ
enca of opinion, are eschewed. The
Demo Gratis who have been hopefully
waiting for the ''reading OUT pro
cess to begin, will be disappointed
| The Republican party is united and
invincible. s.rs-
From the Albany Journal.
The National Republican Conven.
ton has completed its labors, and
the results are before. the country
We fling the standard to the breeze,
there to float until the ideas of No
vember crown it with victory
"Grant, Colfax, Reconstruction
based upon liberty, impartial suf-
frage and unbrehen national honor.
With such candidates, and such
principles, success is already as
sured.
The nomination lf Hon. Schuy-
ler Colfax to the second place on
the Ticket, is received with general
acclamation. We had hoped that
the. very great strength developed
by Governor Fenton, and the uni
versal recognition of his ability and
fitness for the place, would have
secured to New York the compli=
ment which her Republicans, with
singular unanimity, asked at the
hands Of the Party. But failing OF
this, we prefer Schuyler Colfax to
either of the distinguished men who
were named as competitors for the
place. He is peculiarly a represen
tative of all that is best and most
honorable in American statesman
ship.
From the n. Y. Herald.
The Chicago Convention could
not have chosen better ticket. The
rail splitter and the tailor were 6
