certainty as to their coming man. There is no
doubt but the great democracy" Of New York
city are unusually exercised to their action
They look upon Grant through other spcctacles
than those with which they ogled him short time
since. As regarding him, heretofore they were in
the delicate position of young gentleman anxious
the way or whose conscience told him he would
not be accepted. Still they coquetted about
until assured he would not accept, and then they
seize the first opportunity TO denounce him az
they had never thought OF in their widest dreams
NJ the one Of their choice. There is now evidently
q determined stand taken-that is, as far as the
shifting nature of the ground permits them-to
come right to the point with q man by whom they
will stand or fall. They have looked over the
whole political expanse, and before them some
seers Of the party conjured up strange forms
embryo Presdents-from General Mcclellan, yet
absent on his pilgrimage, down TO Dan Rice, WHO
is the nominee Of the Carlisle (Ps) democracy the
chief OF travelling circus. The last acts OF
the radical Congress has had, however, different
effect upon the democratic party OF this city than
IL has had upon their republican opponents. The
former have considerably changed front Of late. and
a majority Of the party now see that to President
johnson the country must look for leader to
oppose and overthrow the radical squadrons that
are overriding he constitution and the laws.
There IL however a second lookout on deck and
the question il pretty generally debated whether
such q leader a. George A. Pendleton, Of Ohio,
would not be more acceptable TO the great masses
of the democracy throughout the States who yet
was also thought OF for time, but his
"dear friends" are rather backward in coming
forward to his support, and although he may
sure them that he would not il he could and
could not II he woud,n they won't give him the

when he may, when he will shall have nay.o Sey-
mour has come out that he will not accept the
nomination II offered him, poor, easy man, and the
democracy say he shall not get the chance. So
much for Seymour without taking his head off. As
regards Mr.. johnson aud Pendleton the democracy
Of this city are in sort Of quandary. Between
Grant and Chase the republicans are ditto. II
