From the St. Louis Republican
The election of liberal Republican
oveF Grant we regard as the most practi
cal of three results which the contest of
1872 may yield. The President has been
held to BE invncible; but invincibie
lowers and persons always meet the fate
II being defeated at last The election
Of Gov. Walker in Virginia, of Cover
nor Senter in Tennessee, and of Cover
nor Brown in Missouri all liberal Re
pubicaus, chosen by Democratic and
liberal votes, furnish the simple, hopora
bic and effective method of beating the
President aud his party and policy. Ad>
miuistration partisaHs tell Us that the
scheme would fail IN a national appliea
this proves that they fear it vi / succeed.
From the Macon Georgia. Telegraph.
Peradventure, that stroke. il success
fnl would be a more effectnal death blow
to all the negro supremacy schemes than
ever the election OF an avowed Democrat,
who would only concentrate against him
self compact opposition majority 10
Congress. Peradventure, in all the ends
of deliverance aud liberty the South
could profit more By a thorough rupture
o. the Radical party than she possibly
could do, under existing circumstances,
by the mere defeat of Graut
From the Lawrence (Kas.) Dem. Standard.
The policy of making no nomination
fs President, leaving the liberal Repub
leans TO name a man In opposition to
Grant, meets with wide spread favor
The New Orleans Times Louisville
Ledger, Richmond Wing, and other
leading papers, favor that policy, and 1t
is evident that it is destined to grow IN
favor. No other course is indeed open
to US, if we expect to have any influence
upon the course of public affairs In
conjunction with the liberal elements of
the Republican party, radicalism can be
overthrow. and the tendency to destroy
the States, and use the military in time
Of peace aud at the ballot box can be
finally arrested Peace can be restored
70 the South and the whole nation
From the New Orleans Times.
No one proposes or contemplates a
third party organization. The whole
scheme rests upon the assumption that a
party composed of the liberal and honest /
auti~'1rant men of the late or existing
Radical party could be formed, which. 4
united to the whole Democracy of the
marion. would sweep the present corrupt |
Radical party out of power.
From the Sacramento (Cal.) Reporter.
The proposition is not to be treated 1

From the Shelby (Ky.) Sentinel.
There can be no doubt, among think
ing men, that we are numerically in the
minority We must play our cards so
rs 10 make that minority majority, and
to do this will require the wisest poll
g and the most enlarged statesman
ship There is large portion of the
Republican part opposed to Grant for
his. pepotism to his INSCRIPTIONS advo
oacy of the most violent measures TO his
administration 10 general, and we will
discard and ignore the dead issues of
the past, we may hope TO send dismay
into the rabks of our enemies and JOY
into the hearts of our friends.
From the Fond du Lac WISCONSIN, Courier
German.
at ought to be understood that the
Republican does DO require an amalga-
matiop o. the various elements of the
opposition into a new party, but only an
alliance for the single purpose of getting
rid of the odious administration at Wash
iugton, which makes our great republic
the laughing-stock of the world We
DO not hesitate to answer the question
Internationally in the affirmative. that
10 this manner 4 victory over the Grant
Republicans may be achieved.
From the Selma (Alabama) Times.
pThere is one thing very clear to US,
and that is that the Democratic party on
the platform of 1868 cannot enter the
campaign of 1872 with the least hope of
success. This. in our judgment, IL 10
eviiable. and the preservation of all that
is left of st.tutional free government
in the United States depends upon the
defeat of the Radical schemes for per
petuation of their power.
