of Gen. Grant, says
Gen. Grant having been nominated BY noa,a
party for the Presidency Of the United States il Of
course neither fit nor decent that he should longer

resignation rumor that he had already done sn st.

ELECTED general and hearty comment upon his chivarv
AS such course has been highly approved BY the
convention that nominated him. it is to be hoped, both
for their and his own sake, he will accordingly In
the event of bis resignation the command of the army
and navy of the United States will devolve upon Gen
Sherman, as the next in rank.
1here can be but one opinion to the propriety of
the course Gen. Grant should take, and as soldier
and man of honor he would certainly tender his
nation, it. unfortunately for his character be had not
bindy surrendered his will and his discretion to info
rior men, like Washburne, who have played him for
party purposes. These require that the Southern
States should Re subject to bis authority, until they

Beside such welknown names as Mr. Disraeli, of Eng

Confederate States and Mr.. Belmont of the Demo
cratic General Committee, there have been the Pc
reres, Cremieux, Marie, and other distinguished
Frenchmen; jacob, Resser and other eminent Ger
mans; Godefrni, Asser. and other prominent Holland
ers; Artom, 10 Italy; Rothschd, Salomons, Phillips
aud Goldsmith, in England; who may be mentioned
among successful politicians of the day-some leaders
Of opinion in their respective countries The Messen
ger says, however that Mr.. Disrae Mr.. Benjamin aud
Mr.. Belmont have renowned Judaism. In reference
to the Hebrew vote in this country, the Messenger
thinks it cannot be concentrated for or against
particular candidate, except for grave reasons That
the recollection of Grants general order of December
1852, is likely to deter MANY Israees from voting in
his favor we cannot deny" "This much.n it adds

Gems, and in no respect will their political action be de-
pendent upon their religious character as a BODY. b"
