Besides johnson, and following in his

nervous when the dissolution Of the

tasted blood, confesses the mania for
Office and pronounces himself an indie
pendent candidate. He is a good and
true man, and loves his party and creed

Remarkable Change OF Base.

The Democratic party of to-day
occupies most anomalous position.
We can well remember when the bat
tie cry of the party was principles
not men," This was not at a time
when the party had no men OF whom
it might we'll be proud, for then
SILAs WRIGHT, LEWIS CAss, STEPHEN
A. DOUGLAS, and their co-workers
were at the head OF the column.
Now, how changed! The battle cry
is not principles" nor is it "Men :"
but the only word heard along the
line is "Onice." They are willing
to support any man, no matter what
his autecedcnts or present declara
tons, provided lie can give reason
able assurance that, if elected, Re
publicans shall be turned out of office
and Democrats put in their places.
They have abandoned the cherished
idols of the party. and now their only
anxiety is to find some one who is
willing and able to get them into
Office. Platforms and men are moth
ing, unless they can be made step
ping-stones to official position and
licensed plunder.-Toledo CONNER

The election in New Hampshire,
yesterday, restores the Republican
supremacy in that State. 1t does
more: it shows the tenacity of the
masses ofmcn in adherance to the
old parties. Only 4 few hundred cit
izens ventured outside the lines of the
regular political armies. The New
Hampshire Republican State Con-
vention. that put in the field the tick
ct elected yesterday, was particular
to indorse the candidacy of Grant
for reelection. The opponents of
Grant were confident until within o
fortnight OF the defeat of the RepuJ-
lican ticket, and made their calcula-
tions upon that event. 1t must be
admitted, therefore, that the triumph
of the straight Republican ticket, is,
under circumstances, success for
Grant, and one that must increase the
already formidable tendency to
override all oppositions to his nomin-
alton by the Philadelphia Convention.

Tast month the Renublicans of II

Last month the Republicans of Buff
falo elected their entire city ticket by
a sweeping majority of $500, This
result was at the time attributed in a
great degree to the disgust of the in
dependent voters at the outrages of
Democratic rule which the city had
suffered. The local elections through
out the State on Tuesday of this week
prove that the ''disesse" is becoming
general. The Republicans have
achieved unprecedented triumphs in
Elmira. Rochester, Ithaca, Cohoes,
Utica, Newburg, Poughkeepsie, and
indeed throughout the State Thus
the the people pronounce, in tones
loud and unmistakable, that the Re
publican Party is to march forward
to renewed success, in spite of sore
heads and malcontents. The only eff
feet of the detection of leading or
gans, and disappointed political
schemers, seems to consolidate the
people in determined effort to sus-
tain an honest and successful Admin

FORNEY ON GRANT.

On Saturday evening Col. Forney
formally resigned charge of the Phil
adelphia Custom House to his sue
cessor. In the course ola response
to an address from his late employees,
he said:
And now my friends, as we have
been talking a good deal about our
selves, let me say good word for
President Grant; and l am the more
free to say it because some persons
think because / have lett the Office /
have left him. The truth is, l have
gone back on my editorial chair; not
simply that may enjoy congenial
pursuits, but be more effective in sup
porting the Republican party and
Gen. Grant. Perhaps may have a
way of proving this different from
yours but anyhow, my friends, my
way will be sincerely followed. /
believe that Gen. Grants nomination
is inevitable. I know of no Republi-
can in this city or State, whatever
his views may be on other questions,
who is against Grant. | believe his
re- election essential to the preserva-
ton of the Union. And sometimes
when 1 see the attacks on his private
character. and read the proceedings
of these investigating committees, l
feel like opposing to these silly re-
sentiments and prejudices the great
historical facts of his military and
civic record.
Then l remember Grant as the man
who saved my country, and yours. /
remember how he seized our cause
when it was sinking almost for the
last time and bore it to victory; l re-
member his patience and his persever-
ance; / remem ber how he avoided
complaints to the authorities and ap-
peals to the people; / remember,
when Richmond fell, be refused to
ride through the conquered city at the
head of his victorious army, but
quietly returned to his family, then in
New Jersey remember how he alb
stained from the presidency till it was
forced upon him, and that, but for
him, in 1868, we should have been
defeateded, even by Seymour and
Blair.
And what of has Administration !?
Has he not fulfilled all our expecta-
tions as to his public measures Re-
duced taxes, reduced debt, a fearleess
foreign policy, solution of the In
dian broblem, fidelity to the freedman
in all his rights, ready Difference to
public opinion in San Domingo affair,
and, that restoration to order and Sc
curity in regard to our institutions
aud credit which is worth everything
in such times as these. The citizen
who needs integrity. stability, and
pernanance, and who
OILY looks to government for
these-the man who does not care for
place-the brave soldier who fought
for peace and liberty-will not allow
such q record as this to be oblitera
ted by personal attacks, which, how
ever violent and cruel. are not more
so than those heaped on Washington,
Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln, who
live in history and in gratitude, while
their assailants are forgotten.
