Principles OF the Two Great Parties.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2, 1872.

and was driven directly to the Union

ceived by Hon. Morton McMichael, President OF

audience OF 5000 people assembled In Broad
street. Mr.. McMichael in introducing the Massa-
chusetts senator, said q few months ago he had
the honor and pleasure Of presiding at the
convention that nominated Henry Wilson
for the Vice Presidency, and he believed
the choice OF that convention met the en-
dorsement OF the majority OF Pennsylvanians-
(cheers)-at that time. Mr.. Wilson was the Vice
President select; on the 5th Of November he will
be the Vice President elect; and thus saying he
turned to Mr. Wilson and continued, and now fel-
low citizens l have the honor OF introducing the
Hon. Henry Wilson, our next Vice President.

The impending Presidential Battle
The North, the south, the East and
West.
This day and another, and then the Presi-
dental battle throughout the Union will be
determined in the final and decisive test at
the ballot boxes between the supporters of
Grant and Wilson on the one side and of
Greeley and Brown on the other for President
and Vice President Of the United States. Nor
does there appear to be any longer a doubt
entertained on any side of the reelection of
General Grant by heavy majority of the
popular and the electoral vote of the country.
That the October State elections broadly fore
shadowed this popular verdict in November
was the general impression with the first
proclamation Of the suggestive results in
Pennsylvania and since that day this general
impression has widened into universal be-
lief
The vote of the electoral colleges, according
TO the Congressional apportionments upon the
census of 1870, will for this and our next two
Presidential elections be as follows, with such
additions for 1875 and 1880 as may be made
with the admissions of new States:-

Nis peculiarly fitting that the men who have
contributed to the amusement and instruc-
tion of the human race should be honored in
lasting memorials by posterity. The ceremony
of unwilling the Scott monument assembled
yesterday . large representation Of our citi-
zens who were anxious to show their respect
for the memory of one whose life marks an
epoch in the history Of English literature.
But the man, in his simplicity of character and
sensitveness to the purity of his name, claimed
our love and respect. For though in this ago
the love of wealth appears to the popular mind
the highest good, yet there remains sufficient
appreciation Of nobility of soul among us to
enable us to love and reverence the few who
rise above sordid ambitions and teach man.
kind that there are higher and nobler aims in
life than the enjoyment of riches. Scott was
not without his faults and his weaknesses but
these are now forgotten and we remember
only the kindliness OF soul and the jealous
regard for his personal good name which dis
tinguished him among his contemporaries.
In erecting statue to his memory our citizens
of Scottish birth have done themselves honor.
We hope their example will be followed
by the other nationalities who compose our
cosmopolitan population. As the American
nation is built up of men of every race it is
desirable that the poets, orators and writer's of
all lands should have monuments in our pub
lie places, as they in some sort belong to us.
We wish to give them a fitting resting place
amid the beautiful scenes Of our Park, where
silently they win teach the great lesson Of the
solidarity of mankind. Each statue will
serve to recall memories of other lands until
the silent glades become populous with tho
forms which the poets and dramatists have in
vested with a life that shall endure as long as
the human race. Should this idea be carried
out Central Park will become more interesting
than ever. We hope the Scottish example win
be followed, not alone by the foreign but by
the native citizens as we'll America has
children great in literature whom we ought to
delight to honor, and we are anxious that Gen.
tral Park shall not be altogether appropriated
to the great men born out Of America.
