The extraordinary attendance at the

that the convention of to-day exceeds that
OF either party for many yea. There is
large attendance from, every township,

Thaddeus stevens.

The Democratic party, above all parties
that ever had living in this country, has
carefully abstained from following political
opponents to the grave in order to revile
them. The fresh made grave covers all
their enmity. Living, THADDEUs STEVENS
was the brains of his party, and its ac-
knowledged leader in Congress. Dead, the
Ne0 York Euening Post, sheet that follow
ed his lead, thus speaks its opinion of the
''great commoner:" f3.I0V Vf,..5s,.i.l ~
AS statesman, he (Thaddeus Stevens)
was singularly ignorant and narrow-nind-
ed. The skill in management and the tact
which he knew how to use in the prepara-
tion and passing of his favorite measures,
he never thought to use in the framing of
policy. He had so long fought the slave
holders, that he never would do anything
else. What was love of liberty in some
other men, was in him hatred of oppressors
"a generous sentiment but not q wise or
safe one for a statesman.
OF the questions of political economy
which necessarily, during and since the
war, became an important part of states.
manship, he appears to have known abso-
lutely nothing. He imagined that the price
of gold could be kept down by a statute
fOrbidding men to buy or sell it. He did
not serup1e lately to assert that the national
debt ought to be paid off in greenbacks.
which are only other evidences of debt. He
attempted at one time to abolish by law
gold as standard of value. In fact, he
thought laws could accomplish anything;
and he imagined liberty to consist simply
in the abolition of chattel slavery. OF any
other kind of slavery he knew nothing; he
never ceased his efforts to enslave trade; he
would have made us the slaves of a most
vicious and ruinous currency il he had been
able. 1t must be said for him that he was
not much more ignorant than the majority
of American politicians of both parties.
Like the Others, he grew up and was train
ed in the great contest for and against
slavery; and; like the others, The knew that
question and none sothers. But his ignor-
ance was more conspicuous, because his
faith in, himself was, unhesitating, and in
his mind faith without works was useless
and despicable. = ,J r
Such was the man who led the Post, and

Badly Scared-Grant Wants TO
Withdraw-He Will Wait for

W1thdraW-He Will Wait for
Future Developments.a 8 M
The fact that GRANTS prospects of an
election are believed by his friends to be
hopeless, has caused an effort to force him
to withdraw from the canvass In order to
give place to one in whose capacity the
people have more confidence. The Neso
York Herald says that late meeting of the
Radical leaders, at GRANT's| home had a
long and anxious conference on this SUBJ
ject. The conclusion arrived at was for the
present to let GRANT remain on the head of
the ticket and'in the meantime TO watch
The current of events.
When the rnmor of GRANTS withdrawal
from the canvass was made public, it was
treated as untrue by the lesser lights of the
Radical school. But as these rumors as
sumed form and substance, the scare in
the Radical camp became great, and hence
the meeting at GRANr's residence.
The special correspondent of the Ne,o
York World, writing from Washington, un-
der date of August IL, before the meeting
at Galena was called, says:2assss .BoHs
Most extraordinary rumors are afioat
III IHtS Guy tOucuIH& buo uucADecLeQ re-
turn of General Grant from his Western
tour, and in relation to the political can
vass. From all 1 can gather among those
bestacquainted with the views of the menu
bers of the Republican National Commit
tee it appears that private letters have been
received from members of Grants party,
showing an anxiety on the part OF the
General to throw up the candidacy for the
Presidency. To this he has been moved by
overwhelming evidences from every quar-
ter, OF the utter want OF spirit
in the Republican canvass, and the
tremendous popular, tide running In
favor of the Democratic d ticket.
All the letters received here, both by the
Congressional and National Republican
Committees, are sorely discouraging to the
Radical leaders, nor are the letters from
the South less alarming. The negroes can
not be controlled, all efforts on the part of
carpet baggers to prevent excesses have
so far failed, and the Radicals see that a
continuance of these riotous and incendiary
acts on the part of the colored population
will add hundreds of thousands to the
Democratic vote in the North. Hence the
sudden stoppage of Grants Western trip,
hence the rumors that he is about to throw
up the candidacy and the intimations
thrown out in political circles that the Re-
publican National Convention will be called
together again, and, rumors have it, that
the nomination will be rendered to Gem
eral Sherman. - l93

Gen. Batter Among His Friends

=
The Worcester (Mass.) Gazette discharges
big gun at General BUTLER. The Gazette
is a Republican paper of the Radical
school. Here is the mildest portion of its
remarks: '7
aWe do not like to speak disrespectfully
or bitterly of public men, but when
we think of General-Butler's course from
the beginning, it strikes, us as showing
such an utter lack of high principle, as
being SO clearly q career of selfish, un-
principled, personal ambition, that we con-
fess to getting little impatient. We can
never forget how he labored in the Charles
ton Convention for the success of the ex-
treme wing of the Democracy, mere
rebel time-server, nor his bombastic,
unsuccessful course as q military
commander, nor how, since he has been in
Congress, he has been an ,arch-agitator,
going back on his lifelong record, and
fighting like an denraged bull-we fiatter
ourselves that this comparison, though i'm
promptu. is not inapt-against any meas
ures likely to secure peace; nor how he has
made the floor of Congress a scene for the
exhibition of petty tyranny, personal spite
and wanton insult; nor how, instead OF
being wise statesman, he has been sort
of party pugilist, net having sense enough
to know when he was really whipped. All
these thoughts, aud the facts which Illus
trate them, are suggested to us by the mem
tion of General Buffers name. Like this
distinguished individual, we, too, forecast
the immediate future as perilous,' and,
therefore, we earnestly desire that Massa-
chusetts shall send to the National Legisla-
ture honest patriotic, statesmanlike men,
men with no personal spleen to vent, but
careful only Of their country's welfare"
BUTLER is thus fast finding, even with
his own party friends, that lowest deptb
where he naturally belongs. Despised by
those whose dirty work he has done, he is
saved from the contempt of good men only
from the fact that his brutality and want
of honesty have sunk him SO low that con-
tempt will fail to reach him. To call him
"beast' is, in our opinion, SANDER on
the brute creation. .f-.--.

FROM PARIS.
Icorespondsnoo of the Ohio Statesman


Z PARIS, Tuesday, August 4, 1858.
The French Government has declared,
through its usual agent, that its represent
ative at Lisbon, M. de Montholon, took no
steps to impede the landing in that city of
the Duke of Montpensier, but public opin-
ion, IN Lisbon as elsewhere. evidently mis-
trusts the assurance. Just as great many
persons obstinateIy persist in believing
that the recent important arrests in Spain
were due to Information sent from Paris to
Madrid, so the numbers remain convinced.
in spite of fsemi-official assurances, that the
attempt was made to move the Portuguese
Government to denyit the Orleans Prince
the safety which so many sovereigns have
in our day had to seek, and may have to
seek again. According toletters from Lis
bon, the population of that city. on learn
ing that the Duke had arrived but appar-
emily was not about to land, jumped imme-
diately to the conclusion that French infiu-
ence was at work, and lost no time in man
ifesting its displeasure at the injurious
interference, raising a disturbance and de-
manding with loud cries that Montpensier
should come on shore. The demonstration
had a certain degree of Importance. and the
King is said to have sent an, officer of his
staff on board the Spanish frigate to en-
treat the Duke to lose no time in coming
ashore and appearing in the Royal
box at the Opera, as the speediest
wayiFof dissipatinS popular suspicion
and interest If the 5 Portuguese
Government .iesitated at 81 first, or
at any rate caused some delay by not at
once rejecting the demand Of the French
Government, It appears to have acted with
decision when its mind was made up.
Here the opposition papers speak of M.
Montholon's interference as having been
very urgent and completely fruitless. The
Ldnterne calls to mind the coincidence that
the same diplomatist was Minister at
Washington when the United States insist
ed on the evacuation of Mexico, and re-
marks on the difference of the tone he then
assumed The Duke of Montpensier is not
more dangerous to the present Government
of France as an exile in Lisbon than as a
resident in Seville, and only an ,unreason-
ing hatred of the family of which he is a

Notwithstanding the heat, which came
unusually late in Florence. but is described
as extraordinarily intense, the Italian
Chamber seems likely to prolong its sit
tings during the greater part OF the pres
ent month. The tobacco contract and the
forced paper currency are the two princi-
pal questions still to be discussed. gT
