FOR GRANT.
AGAINST GRANT.

In Pennsylvania, judging by last years
vote for Congressman, in which the Demo
Gratis had majority Of twenty-six hundred
and sixty one, the vote in 1872 may be close.
But this would not be strictly fair, and is
only mentioned to show the impartiality of
the Globes figures. Pennsylvania has Re-
publican Governor, a Republican Legisla-
ture, and is essentially Republican State.
In the Congressional vote Greedy is classed
as Democrat, though he ran as an indie
pendent Republican, claiming that he had
received the Republican nOminaticn,. He
was supported by the Democrats who made
no nomination. His majority was 925.
Geary's majority in the same district the
year before was 3632.
From the above list it will he seen that
after allowing the Democrats several States,
which are quite as likely to 60 Republican
as Democratic, Grant can clear the field
with a majority in the Electoral College of.
nine. In conclusion, the Globe begs it's
readers to take practical. common sense
view Of the situation. The States set down
to Grant are Republican States, and are as
certain to 60 for him in 1872 as any event
under human control is certainty. Four
months after Grant was inaugurated at a
time when he was under heavy cloud. the
Globe predicted his reelection, and as an
impartial Journal can find no reason to
changoits prophecy.

New York evsnias Glstsess
and not ! political journal:
Tho campaisn for 1872 4 now fairly
opened. At the serena1e to Senator Nor
ton, Saturday night, one Of the contestants
Appeared in the ring and threw down the
gauntlet. There was NO mincing in the
Senator's speech; he boldly claimed for his
party the support of the country in 1872,
and laid down the issue upon which the
campaign shall be fought. These ore, law
and order at the South, the present Indian
policy, the repeal of the income tax next
Congress, the reduction Of the debt. and
the general success Of the administration.
The presence at the serenade Of the Pre-
sident and Vice President are peculiarly
significant, and imply that ut least power
full faction of the Republican party have
decided On the denomination Of Grant and.
.COlfax. Three weeks ago the open inaugu-
ration of such y movement would have
been sheer folly. Then the party seemed
on the verge of diss0lutiOn; but Connecticut
and the Presidents message have proved a
healing balm, and the Republicans are APP
parently animated ny the spirit Of the dying
words of Senator Howard: Now, then,
long pull, a strong pull. and a pull al
together As it was in 1864 with Lincoln,
was about as poor material tor President as
had ever been made, so it now SCENE 10 .bc
with Grant The man in power has the in
side track if he is only judicious. Grants
message on San Domingo. the great bone Of
contention in his party, was pre-emincntIy
judici0ns. Connecticut stamped "Ap-
proved :" upon it before it went in, and it
has since met the appreciation Of the rest
Of the country. Outside of his party Grant
is also fortunate.
The Democrats, although growing in
wisdom, do not yet come up to tho spirit
which was needed to nominate Chase in
1868. Even if the party had come to the
point OF u new departure, it is now doubtful
whether they gould hit upon a leader. Mr..
Chase has really broken down, and the
golden opportunity Of 1868 has gone for
ever. PendletOn, it il rulnored, has got to
drinking badly. Seymour is played out.
Hoffman is just little too near Erie for i'm
mediate usefulness. Groesbeck is OF gOud
quality, but not well enough known: and the
only man left to hang n reasonable hope on
is Hendricks, Of Indiana. He lis good man,
but is he strong enough in the nation at
large to beat. Grant! At present it would
seem not. We happen to know that until
the dissensions at Washington of the pres
ent winter, leading Democrats in this city
believed the denomination and reelection OF
Grant certain.
Grants prospects may be submitted to a
pretty thorough test in the way of mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation. Take the States con-
coded as Republican, giving the Democrats
the advantage Of all doubtful States, and
note the result:

ordered by the court that the rule taken by

counterfeiting tried some weeks ago, when
the defendant Harris was found guilty.
The rule for new trial vas taken on the
ground that the court erred in not charging

The MAGNOLIA The second number of
the Magnolia exhales fragrance superior
even to the first. Its talented editor in,-
presses every page with her original and
energetic thoughts, and withal sh ows in
every line she writes an innate love for the
human race and for truth, without which
all writings, lectures, sermons, and poetry
are stale and fat. In our first notice of the
Magnolia we wished Mrs. Massena every
success. We now feel confident of full
filment, as desert is . sure forerunner.
