say Gen. Hancock. Hendricks Is popular In
several OF the States, ut.his popularity is
not Of that GENERAL character which dis
iinguishes Gen. Hancock. From his long
civil service. he has an extensive aelnain-
lance with the democratic politicians, aud
n majority Of them, probably, would favor
his nomination, ifthey believed success GER
tain under his leadership, But this long
public service, however honorable, will he
an objection at this time. Why 2 No
man could have been n prominent actor
on the political stage for the last fifteen
years without making more or less person
al enemies, and long record Of public
life without some shadow Of inconsistency
would be very remarkable In these troub.

didate, we might be put on the defensive
somewhat, in regard to some matters, when
all our energies should be used lin assail-
ing the great enemies Of Constitutional
liberty in all their strong holds Of error
and corruption. Now, with Gen. Han
cock, our task would be easier and our
victory more certain. Not having been
in civil life, he hns no political record,
which can he nssailed or which will re-
auire defence, while his military record IL
impregnable. lie can not be accused Of
sympathy with tho rebellion, forhe fought
the Southern Confederacy from the first to
the last lie was End still is the idol of
the soldiers, who served under him, and
they will vote for him to man. Grant
never had his popularity with ths rank
and file. OF noble stature, handsome and
brave, no was the very objact to attract
observation and elicit praise. To see the
man, in comparison with Grant, is 10 vote
| for him, unless the bcbolder be theiving
radical of the darkest dye. The only pos
sible objection, which can be urged with
any plausibility against his nom nation,
is that VIC have suffered too much already
from military rule and rulers and require
civilian at the head of affairs. But Gen.
Hancock has shown that he is not m sre
military adventursr, whom the accident d.
fortune has made famous, ani that he has
all the qualities which fit him for civil po-
siton Of the very highest grade. Since
the war; while in command Of the South
ern Military Department, he has exhibit
ed traits of character, which prove him to
be n statesman of the first class. Armed
with almost unlimited authority by the
acts of IL partizan Congress, for the wicked
purpose of depressing and humiliating the
Scum thern people, he used it only for their
protection and welfare. He did not hesi-
tate to declare that the military ought to
be subordinate to the civil power. His
short administration (for the jealousy and
malignity of Grant soon put an end to it)
was distinguished for its moderation, its
Justice and lis wisdom. His Order, No.

then, is our man. lie can carry Pennsyl
vania, his native State, beyond Doubt
He can carry, too, Indiana almost as easily
as Hendricks. He has more general popu-
larity and can draw off more voters from
Grant, especially those (and the number is
lsrge) who served in the army during the
civil war. lie is the faScrite Of the South,
