The Chicago Tribune. Republican. is

Its said that this movent is inspired by
Senator Trumbull. who is one Of the ow-

made . strong speech 10 favor Of such 4
movement. Its believed that Trumbull
is an aspiraus for Presidential honors. and
iby,this 'moye'ou the political chess board,
hopes to be put forward as the president

Is divide the two existing parties, and
to get the Northwest committed to the

ial denomination in 1872. This attempt to
organize new party purely for self-ag-
grandizeuent must OF necessity fail. And
while Il might show sone signs Of strength
IN the Western States, there will be but
few friends Of the movement to be found
in the other States. Just at this time the
people are not prepared to cooperate with
any such movement. We believe the time
viii come when new party will spring up
but on different platform from that pro.
posed BY Senator Trumbull. which will
embrace the good and honest men Of all
parties.
