The New York Tribune is first in the
field in discussing the propriety Of rc-
Nominating President Grant, under the in
eeniuus snb'esfuee Of recommending that
nobody shall at present consider that 1ues-

In other words if President Grant must
I've scaominatel, very well, bullet - have
another year within which to find better
candidate If we can. Until within short
time prior to the former nomination of
Grant, Mr.. Grcelcy's preferences were for
Salmon P. Chase That idol having been
broken. there are still several public men
for whom Mr.. Greeley enter:ains stronger
personal regard than for President Grant.
Among the first Of these, we run no risk in
saying. is Mr. ColfA1+ It il not our pur-
pose to discuss the direction or the motives
of Mr.. rreeleys preference, nor even the
wisdom OF the *'one-term principle. " in the
sense in which it is used by Mr. Greeley,
viz as doctrine for Tie government Of
conventions.
AZ proposed amendment TO the consti-
tution, IL has seemed to us very doubtful
whether the people should be restrained
from re-electing President, because we
do not believe it to be the proper business
of constitution to restrain the people at
all but simply and only to- restrain the
officers elected under it. II the President
is inclined to use the patronage Of his Of
