NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT:
-. CIR ME-
OF ILLINOIS.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
HEN RY WILSON,
OLE MASSACHUSETTS,.

THERE are some striking points of con-
trast between the planks in the Cincinnati
and Philadelphia platforms, and they are
all decidedly in favor Of the latter. Be-
tween the straightforward frankness Of
the one and the Machiavelian juggling Of
the other, on the questions Of taxation and
the tariff, no one can hesitate to accord to
the Philadelphia platform the superior
merit it dscloses. This platform keeps
steadily in view the promotion of our vast
and varied industries, recognizing the i'm
portant fact that where labor enjoys the
highest wages and realizes the create st
proportion of the value it creates, there the
people are the most prosperous and happy.
This holds universally true, under all
forms of government. The legislation that
secures to labor the most abundant rewards
that discriminates so wisely between
capital and labor that the lions share is
not ruthlessly snatched from the latter
is that which stimulates national industry
and leads to universal prosperity among
the people.
The emphatic avowals Of the Republican
party in favor of protection to the great
industrial interests Of the country-those
interests in which labor is most abundantly
embarked-are such as to inspire renewed
confidence in capital as well as labor. Their
purport is not to be mistaken. Every
manufacturer and workingman is alike en-
couraged by their emphatic utterances.
The spirit of great American policy runs
with electric effect through them, quicken
ing every nerve Of industry, and invigor-
ating every snew Of labor, in whatever
pursuit has heretofore proved of value and
profit to our people.
Against the Machiayelian craltiness and
sinuosities of meaning in the Cincinnati
declaration, they stand out in most decided
and honest relief. This the great masses
of the people must see, and seeing, COM
mend and approve. The artful assurance
that candidate will accept and act upon
whatever opinion the people may hereafter
express upon any topic, is not very vital
platform on which to place any candidate.
1t smacks of the craft and cunning Of the
rogue, and not of the straightforward and
honest man Of principle. Protection or
free trade, Just as the current Of popular
opinion may run, is equivalent to eXclaim-
ing, "Good Lord or Good Devil" just as
the spiritual battle is waged for or against

THE very positive information received
from Zanzibar regarding DR.. Livingstone,
seems fully to have satisfied the American
press as to his safety. 1t represents him as
still prosecuting his researches in the interi-
or Of Africa with unwearied industry, with
out any greater regard to the outside world
than an oyster would show in his shell at
a forty-ioot depth in the James River. We
hope the long debated question of his safe
ty will be verified by single scratch from
his pen in the next tenth dispatch we get
from the coast of Zanzibar. Let the Her.
aid reporter produce one scratch of his pen,
and then we shall have some faith in the
existence of the once indefatigable letter.

THE Springfield Republican is good
deal worried about the prospects of the
Greeley ticket. 1t suggests conference
of the leading men of the opposition in
advance Of the Baltimore Convention, to
see if some possible plan can not be de-
vised for uniting the opponents Of the adj
ministration upon somebody. It suggests
that Mr.. Greeley's chance of being the
unanimous choice of that convention would
be better if his chief supporters would
treat the dissenters with more generous
courtesy, and among other things it urges
is to ascertain whether Greeley can
not be got out of the way in case
it is found impossible to unite upon him.
From present appearances the Republican
is satisfied that the opposition cannot unite
upon Greeley, and yet regards it impracti-
cable to put forward anybody else, unless
there is satisfac tory arrangement made all
round. The Republican, which was for
Adams in the first instance, is playing
pretty eifectually into the hands of the
New York World.

THE particular worry Of the Liberal
Republican leaders at the present time APP
pears to be the two thirds rule of the
forthcoming National Democratic Conven-
ton. Some of them hold that it will re-
quire two-thirds vote to abolish this rule,
while others insist that each Convention is
an independent self-governing body, fully
competent to establish its own rules by
vote of the majority. Some journals
say that the two-thirds rule has never been
used heretofore, except in voting upon
nominations, and that in determining
whether it will make nominations or not
the Convention will be governed simply by
a majority vote. If it is determined to
nominate candidates, the two-thirds rule
as heretofore practiced may then possibly
be brought into play. There seems to be
q general impression in Liberal Republican
quarters that the Cincinnati ticket stands
no possible chance of being Endorsed by q
two-thirds vote of the Convention. Hence
the pressure which is being exertedin favor
of the majority plan. .........

II. WIS OPINION OF II. q.

Mr.. Horace White, Of Chicago, is the
accomplished and able editor of the Try
bUne of that city, and was the chairman of
the committee on resolutions OF the Cncln-
natl Convention which nominated Greeley
and Brown. Thoroughly committed to
that convention, he finds its candidate a
bitter pill to swallow, and accuses him Of
bringing about this result by much intrigue
and trickery. His opinion of Mr.. Greeley
may be found in the following extract from
the Chicago Tribune in November, 1866,
when H. G. was candidate for the United
States Senatorship:
"Horace Greeley is not now, and never
has been, a man who ought to be trusted
with an official position requiring practical
wisdom, ordinary craftsmanship, or firm,
consistent action. For twenty-five years
he has been marplot in council an UNI
reliable commander in action a msan-
thrope in victory, and riotous disorgan-
izer in defeat. He has always been fanati-
cal in his demands for the EXTREMIST mea-
sures, and when the party has reached the
eve of triumph, invariably thrusts himself
lOIWa u iiCSooliatoi VI 'Siio VI
render to the enemy. His course during
the war was but repetition of his course
in politics. In 1861 he was an open de-
fender of secession !; he changed to vigor-
Gus champion of the war; and thereafter
was forever recklessly making proposals
for peace and as recklessly withdrawing
them--making war IN spite of Mars, and
negotiating in spite of Minerva.
"For twenty years he had been an uncom-
promising advocate for a square fight with
the pro-slavery party, and when that kind
Of fight was forced upon the Republicans
in 1860, he was here in Chicago, voting not
for Lincoln, nor for Chase, but for old
Edward Bates, Of Missouri, one Of the
fossils of the slave party. He was then
the associate and co-aborer of that other
impracticable and unreliable squad--the
Blair family. The country at this time
| wants no inspired Harlequins in the national
councils. Still less does it want men with
craftsmanship SO microscopic that they can
see nothing in public business but the mile
age and per diem of their fellow members.
If Mr.. Greeley is not satisfied with his
position as Journalistic position which
ought to be equal, in point of influence, pow
er and dignity, to that of six average Sena-
tors-and if the Republicans of New York
want to do something for him, let them
make him State Prison Inspector, or even
Governor; anything that will not make
the outside Of the State responsible for his
follies." ..

BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
it was tested by able sewing machinists and by
them pronounced -
BECAUSE, it took the first prize Mt the great
Paris Exposition in 1867 ... .. a. ...
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class loclrstitch will do;
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them cam
not do We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines; ......s..
BECAUSE, in the five years it has been before
the people, the sale has been rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and q great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give n woman's reason, p. ...- .#

The Philadelphia Press expects Mr..
Greeley's endorsement at Baltimore, and
then says: "From present survey of the
field, and taking into consideration all the
possible circumstances and Developments
that may influence the result of the cleo
ton, Grant and Wilson's success seems
certain" And it adds further respecting
Greeley: "No one sentiment in the coun-
try supports him solidly. The free traders
hate him, the protectionists charge him
with apostacy Democrats distrust him,
and Republicans are afraid Of him. Mr..
Greeley can be elected only by Republican
mistakes or local dissensions, and if these
were entirely removed, we would venture
the prediction that he will be the worst
beaten candidate, without exception, that
ever ran for the Presidency" Mr.. Gree
ley occupies, at the present time, the sin
gular position of candidate without a
party and if the Democrats take him up,
they will cease to be party from that time
forth; for nothing short of the trump of
Gabriel will ever again resurrcct them.
