GRANT AND WrIsOS.

The Republican National Con
yention at Philadelphia last week
nominated Gen. Grant for President
and Senator Wilson, Of Massachu.
sets, for Vice President. Craat
was nominated by acc'amation and
Wilson on the first ballot. The
ticket is a strong one. No better or
popular Eame for President could
have been selected for the sullrages
OF the Republican party, than that
of Grant. The unanimity which
characterized the choice Of tie Con-
vention in voting for him, may be
regarded as a correct symbollzatlon
Of the feeling of the entire Republic
can party. Gen. Grant has excited
both the love and admiration OF the
people. No opposer Of his can con-
vince tie intelligent citizen tlat he
is not q man of ability as well as
virtue. lie looks at Grants Mill
tary experience, and sees not only
great ability there in organizing,
controlling and directing armies, but
he also witnesses great modeSty,
sterling integrity, and sincere hu-
manity. The people learned to
love the man that was always so
earnest and confident, brave and
true. His political views, too, are
equally worthy Of admiration and
confidence. Search them through,
and they will be found to bear the
stamp Of wisdom and judiciousness,
as well as the impress Of progress
iveness. In his messages, he gives
his views clearly and coucisely on
every subject OF real interest to the
nation. Upon the subject ofeduca-
ton he has ever taken broad aud
liberal views. So too Of agricul-
ture, commerce, manufactures, tar
if, amnesty and reconstruction, the
workingman, Indian policy, the
land grant policy, civil service re
torn, payment and rerndiug tie
national debt, otc. Upon all these
questions, and others, his views
have been we'll digested and clearly
expressed in his messages, and
many ofthem havebeen carried into
practical effect, and are now a part
Of the law Of tie land. His admin
istration in the past has been amost
gratifying snccess. No stronger
evidence of this need be sought tllan
III the fact that peace and prosper
ity now prevail where discord and
staenation existed. Then, too, the
unanimity which now charactcrizcS
the feeling Of the Republican hosts,
North, South, East and West, in
their support Of Grant, in spite Of
the efforts of a few rencgades from
the party, is most convincing evi-
dence of the hold which his admin
istration has obtained upon popular
favor. The party rally around him
to-day as a unit, and support him
with enthusiasm. The nomination
ofSenator Wilson was not so much
Of a foregone conclusion, as that Of
Grant, though it was not entirely
unexpected. lie is one of the pnrest
and most talented naen in the Re-
publican party. This secures the
hearty endorsement Of the entire
party. No other man would have
made the ticket stronger. He has
had long experience in public life,
and his loyalty to Republican prin-
ciples and policy is unimpeachable.
The ticket will sweep the country.
Whether the Democratic party en-
dorse Greeley, or bring out some
other candidate, it matters not. The
Republican party, strong in num-
bers and in unity, will elect Grant
and Wilson without peradventure
by an overwhelming majority.
H'~Aiev is in favor Of the one
thIm piInclple. Should he be elect
