POLITICAL NOTES.

The Worcester Spy Grant republican, has the
following reference to the Vice Presidency, can
didate for which is to be nominated by the Con-
vention at Philadelphia
In regard to the second ONCE, the Convention
"a whole Is left to its own guidance, although
most OF the delegations are instructed In favor OF
one or another candidate The two who will at
first receive most votes are OF course Mr.. Colfax
on the first ballot. II he had not sometime ago
repeatedly declared his purpose to retire from
public life at the close OF MS present term o. once ne
opposition. The prospect now is that Of those who
are instructed to vote at first for candidates nom
Mr.. Wilson, as their second choice, to give him
support nearly as large as that Of Mr. Colfax, or
perhaps, and not improbably, to nominate him.
The Utica Herald republican, has the annexed
comments upon the nomination Of the Vice Presi-
dent by the Republicans at Philadelphia today
There is some doubt as TO who win nll the second
place on the ticket. At frst 1t was believed that
Mr.. Cofax would be the man. He is exceedingly

candidate. Mr.. Colfax viii Doubtless show much
rather suspect that on him win fall the choice OF the
Convention. But 1t is gratifying fact that no man
has yet been mentioned In connection with the Vice
Presidency who is not every way worthy and capa-
BILE and who would not do honor to the ofilce.
Says the Providence Journal Senator Anthony's

ment has been organized for the nomination OF
Chase at Baltimore, and the withdrawal OF Greeley.
IL Is not probably true; such movement certainly
can have no strength.
The Providence Journal OF the 4th inst. says Of
our exploded treaty with Great Britain
There Is bitter feeling in many quarters over
the failure OF the treaty, which Is charged upon the
disingenuousness OF England. It Is said that the
Objections n
avoid engagements into which she deliberately
tered, and which she found inconvenient to fulfil;
that, at the best, the great principle OF arbitration
and the settlement OF long standing and irritating
differences between the two countries have been
subordlnated to the political necessities Of the
Ministry
The Providence Herald IA paper that has some
democratic standing In its own meridian) says OF
Greeley
viii Greeley stand-stand beyond all peradven-
ture and despite oil discouragements We con-
fess that we do not like to give even conditional
support to q contingent candidate. We don't care
to involve ourselves in concentrations Of one
enemys battalions. We are willing to compromise
ourselves to the extent OF our conscience whenever

The Boston P0st-democratc, and o paper Of
careful judgment--remarks about Summers late
speech, that what Sumner has developed IN thA
matchless piece Of incupatorv eloquGhce Is pre-
cIsely what r. W. Bird brought out with equal
b0ldness in his remarkable speech at Wap0lc. He
there asserted that he did not believe in Grant

Sumner has supported his impressive declaration
with the utmost elaboration Of evidence and Illus
tration. The popular mind receives this speech as
one Of the most serious AFFAIRS In our
political history. II 1t cannot be fairly
met and answered 1t will be but Offering an
insult to the country to rcnomnate to the Presi-
dency one who thus stands at the bar Of
public judgment practically convicted. II s under
stood everywhere that this administration Is the
image. OF corruption and incompetency, the
synonym Of gtfttakng and the usurpation Of
powers and IL does not unsettle that common belief
to heap obloquy on Mr.. Summer or ren0minate the
President he arraigns.
In regard to the Reading, Pa, (democratic) State
Convention, the Springfield (Mass.) Republican
says:-
The platform has been criticised as non.com-
INITIAL and with entire justice. But the C0nven-
tions feeling and It's action, too so far as II went
pointed towards the adoption OF Greeley and
brown as the candidates OF the democratic party.
