Three Good Reasonos,

There are three prominent reasons for
believing that Gen. Grant will be reflect
ed this fall by larger majority than in
1868.
First, the business men Of the country,
who care more about the stability of the
Government and their two financial
prosperity than they do about the man
who may be elected President, will not
favor change i'll the administration
which has given them three years OF
unexampled prosprily.
Second, Gen. GRAFT is military chief
tain Of rld-renowned celebrity; and
thousands OF men will vote Tor HIM be-
cause he has not only led our armies to
victory in holy cause, but has shown
himself equally able to guide the civil
affairs ot the nation in safe and pros
porous channel.
Third, his chief opponent is Horace
Greeley, whose tickle-mindednes IE sus-
ceptibiLty to seduction is ackuowlcdg 20 d
to be his leading trait; and the people
are unwlllingto trust the affairs of the
nation in the hands OF one so certain to
overturn the present well'eslaGlished
business relations of the country.
There are numerous other reasons that
might be given, but the sequel will show
that these three will cover sufficient
ground. Grant is more popular with the
mass Of the people to-day, than before
he showed his ability to conduct civil
AS well as military affairs with Grmness
and success. L2Yriu Democrat.

GREELEY AND THE GOLDEN AGE -TILTOE
has entered the field for Greeley, and the
Golden Aye gives out lis note Of warning, that
Its support is to be ringing" one. Cam
paign documents from the office of tho age
and the pen OF the editor, so formidable and
pretentions- with such an air of confident as
sumption, that something is now TO be done,
that one cannot but smile as he glances at
them, and estimates the crcdulity and folly
that stimulates 50 much assurance, and the
rrodigality Of ST. much physical energy. Til
upn, like Greeley, has ability, but like him, is
sadly deficient in balance and common sense
The desperatcness of cause is no bnpcdiment
TO It's hearty espousal. The old stagcrs asso-
ci,ted with Greeley in the Inauguration of the
liberal movement were enabled to estimate its
propablo fate from the sitting of the conven-
tion, and adroilly put The honors Of the nom.

them to bear, upon the good natured and nc.

he was looked upon as u rising man now, ms
one who compromises himself at about every

its inevitable failure, will probably put him ef.
fcctually upon his latter end. With no incon.
siderable modification in his case we may

THE COLLEGE OF New JERsEY.--The
College Of New Jersey has just held its
l25th annual Commencement. The oc-
casion was in many respects memorable
one. 1t is now four years since President
Nc CUsh's administration began. The
present graduating class entered the
College the same year with him, and is
therefore the first that has completed
its full course under his auspices. 1t is
also the largest class that has ever gradu-
ated from the institution. The occasion
has been made further memorable by
two muniticent gifts, one If 5000, 900

No other body of men within the range
OF history has done 50 much to advance
10 welfare Of mankind, to establish the
great principles OF justice, liberty and
equality. Yet their mission is by no
means accomplished. There are many
important government questions yet 10

the task. To doubt the success OF such

cohorts of the old slavery party, is an
insult to the intelligence and virtue of
The American people.
When great political party has be-
come so conspicuously depraved that
they feel there is no hope ot reform,
suicide may, perhaps, in such case be
virtue, and such seems to be the condi

Truth IN a Small Compass,

Upon General Grants accession to the
Presidency great number Of those who
had supported his election, with some
who had not, sought Office at his
hands, he expected him to bestow it un-
asked. lie was unable TO crafty their
ASPIRATIONS. Thcirlamentasions mingled
with the howfs Of the dispoinied, made
up very dolcfhl dissonance, whereof
the only meaning deducible runs thus !;
{. Gen Grant is found wantmg-his adj
ministration's a failure"
Failure ?" how? in what? Have we not
peace and plenty in the land? Is not
our flag displayed and respected on every
sea? What foreign foe molrsts or
threaten us ? Who fears insurrection at
home, or invasion from abroad?
Yes Gen. Grant has failed to crafty
some eager aspirations and has thereby
incurred some intense hatreds. These do
not fail and his administration will prove
at least equally vital. We shall hear
lamenta;ion after laMentation over his
failures from those whose wish is father
TO tho thcught; bnt the American people
let them pass unheedsd. Their strong
arm bore him triupphan,ly through the
war into the White House, and they
still uphold and sustain him they neve,
will.
The above very sensible remarks are
from the pen of Horace Greeley, and
were published not so very long ago il
the Tribune. They are not a whit less
true to-day than when they were written
although Greeley himself now ranks a,
an oiiice-seeker."
