Everything goes to show that tho pre-
sent course of the Administration in re-
gard to the treaty with England, is n
spired by u desire TO excite passion and
inilnme prejudice for party purposes.
The grayeSt national interests are sacri-
feed for dishonoruble personal ends.
But us this is i'll perfect harmony with
the party craftsmanship Of the President,
it should not excite surprise. If his
chances for reelection can be promo
ted by q war with England, no one who
has n just conception OF his charater will
doubt that the war will be invoked. One
large army has been ~poaccahly disband,
ed; a second one might turn and rond
us. The President wants IL larger stand
ing army for purposes best known to
himself. That army cannot be raised
except under tho impulse of great popu-
lar excitement. That excitement is what
he now wants to bring about. II neces-
sary, he will drive the nation into q war
with England. He must have IL pretext,
and II war with England would furnish
it. The army would be used first against
England, and then against us. Trouble
with England would /, the means, and
our subjugation and ruin would be the
chief object aud end.

publicans which will I've held in Cincin-
natl in May next, viii be largely attend
I'd. The elements of the Republican par.
y opposed to the denomination Of Grant
arc combining and organizing. They
viii form \ powerful body; and mnny of
hem will refuse to support Grant even
should lie be the regular nominee Of the
party. Schurz declares that he v i'll not
support him undor any circumstances;
and there is hardly y doubt but that
here will be two Republican candidates
IN tho fiji, each bitterly hostile to the
,tnsg. Now i the time for the Demo
c1cy to keep cool and watch the situa-
non. II the two wings of tho Republic
o'E party should be widely separated the
Democracy will be able to succeed in
1872 with u regular Democratic candi-
date upon u regular Democratic plat
form, just us Lincoln succeeded in 1850,
when the Democracy were so fatally
divided. He and his party were in the
minority but they won; SO may we win.
1t is not unreasonable to believe We will.
Tho situation brightens; the mistS are
clearing away. Let uS keep "a stiff up
