TIE beautiful and becoming ceremony
of decorating the graves of the Confederate
dead, is being performed to-day by the
people Of Richmond, and men, women and
children will all lovingly participate in the
act of decoration as properly becomes the
occasion. No one can object to so simple
and touching an exhibition of love and affec-
ton as this. There is nothing more beau
tiful than hower-wreath upon grave
one placed there by loving hand, and ex-
haling its sweet perfume upon the
still and quiet air. 1t is SUCCESS
tive not Of the resurrected life alone, but
of the loving life that is left behind that
still fingers to pay its tribute Of affection
when all things else fade or pass into for
getfulness, save the one cherished memory
that still abidcs, and which, from its fra.
GRANGE, seems akin to the breath of flow
ers. Bury all thought of the dead to-day,
but that which love, affection, honor, and
worthy aspiration would keep alive.

WE DO not propose to treat the nominal
tons of the Cincinnati Convention as a
matter of ridcule. Sneers are substitutes
for ideas with those incapable Of advancing
argument. Mr.. Greeley is too formidable
an opponent to be laughed down or made
weak by ludcrous pictures and sarcastic
taunts. We regard him as a strong man.
We know him to be an able one. Few
living men possess more genius and have
more devoted personal friends and followers.
He has been for many years connected
prominently with every important measure
or act of this government. He is a plain
strong man, and has deep hold upon the
hearts of the people. This much we freely
admit. But all this will fail, in our delibe-
rate opinion, to elect HIM President. Every
interest we can conceive of throughout the
length and breadth of the land is averse to
change. Some ills they have to bear, but
they are not prepared to take their flight to
others they know not of. The sober re-
Election, the great common sense of the
masses revolts at the experiment of placing
a man of genius in the White-House. He
might be too cratic, to unstable, too full
of peculiar theories and eccentric fancies,
too likely to give us an inundation OF isms,
any one of which, persistently pressed,
might, and probably would, convulse the
whole country throughout its length and
breadth. A very slight change in our pre-
sent financial system would precipitate q
crisis such as we have never before wit
messed. Every dollar would be locked up,
every industry paralized. We are very GER
tain that we utter a sentiment which
meets a hearty response from great
and overwhelming majority of the voters
Of the United States, when we de-
clare that we do not wish a
brilliant administration. We prefer a
safe and strong one. Nor do we think our
citizens are willing to risk the experiment
of again having a President who would
seek to compel the adoption of his own
policy. They want an Executive Officer
not dictator. They desire Chief Magls'
trate who rather lags behind public senti
ment than attempts to mould or direct it
but one who, having patiently ascertainet
their wishes and their desires goes forward
in an earnest, sincere and strong manner tt
the discharge of his duties.
These, in concise and brief manner, arr
the views, apart from the direct poltica
issues involved in the now opening cam
paign, which lead US to conclude that thu
reelection of General Grant is assured
They are based on our judgement of human
nature. We expect Mr.. Greeley to receive
las indeed would any man who might hav'
been nominated) the vote of those who ar
disconnected, and whom no change woul
injure, but might benefit. r s

V,AKE IT TO YOUR HOME.

1t ia SO much the fashion nowadays to con-
vey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of adj
dress. The mass of people, especially the young
demand stories to such a degree, that papers
filled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have a wide circulation. To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND
HOME, in addition to the usual variety of that
paper, have engaged a corps of firstciass writers
among whom are Jean Ingelow, Edward Egg
gleston, Mary Il, Dodge, Louisa M Alcott, Ed
ward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Harriet Prescott Spofford, Rose Terry, Maria r.
Oakley, Lucia Ct. Bunkle, and many others, who
furnish to this journal the best original stories,
of the purest character and highest grade--thus
conveying much instruction in a pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND
HOME contains large amount of frst-class
reading, editorials, literature. art, science,
amusement; instruction for the housekeeper,
the gardener, the farmer; a capital department
for children and youth; the news of the day;
f1nancialiand market reports, etc. Its engravings,
costing over S25 900 year, are of high order of
merit, unsurpassed by any illustrated paper III
the world. Altogether, HEARTH AND HOME
is such q journal as may be safely and very pro-
fitably taken into any family. II is supplied at
the low rate of So year. four copies for $ll !;
and ten more copies for $3.50 each.

The Whig seems to imagine that 1t is a
very simple thing for political party to
die--to give up the ghost, as the old Wing
party did in 1852, without the sign of po-
litical resurrection thereafter. But it should
remember that parties, like individuals,
generally die natural dea!hs--that they
rarely commit suicide, as the Wing party
did in the year we have named. 1t may
talk of "effete men" and "effete parties, /"
but so long as vital principles actuate the
one or underlie the other, there can be no
WORKOUT energy in either. The Wing
party died, simply because its principles
died in advance of its organized body. The
so-called compromises oflS49-'50, exhaust
e | all the vitality there was remaining in
that party, and with the death of Webster
and CLAY, which soon followed, the twenty
years life that was in it ceased from COM
plete exhaustion. 1t was dead party in
1852, and went into the presidential fight
that year with its grave-clothes made IN
advance, and ready TO be donned the mo-
ment the fight was over.
What was true, then, of the Wing party
can only be true Of the Republican party
when it shall have made complete sur
rem Ter of IFS principles in advance of its
own political action. Such a surrender it
is not likely to make, nor do We believe
thit the Democratic party is about to make
any such surrender in view of the very
small loaves and fishes it is likely 10 re-
eeive in the shape of crumbs from the

THE slightest report of an outrage from
this section at any time, was sufficient to
bring the guns Of the Tribune to bear upon
us, accompanied by demand upon the
Federal government to treat us to touch
of the bayonet.
Then. he IGreeley) is headstrong, self
willed man, fixed in his own opinions,
and one of these opinions is settled con-
viction that the Southern white people are
always meditating mischief against the
colored race. He would not be counseled
or advised by any one, and we should have
a most absolute dictator as our ruler. Talk
about your military men !-Enqarer.
Our neighbor, who went off so very
gushingly" over the nomination of Mr..
Greeley in the first instance, is beginning
to subside into the "sober, second
thought" which takes a more rational and
philosophical view of the presidential situa-
ton, and sees less to admire in the Re-
formn candidate the more it scrutinizes
him from his own or anybody's else stand
point. From the large-hearted and broad
minded civilian he seemed few days ago,
the editor of the Tribune is now dwarfed
down to an insufferable bit Of "bigotry in
boots" who would treat the South to a
touch of the bayonet on the slightest prov
ocation, if he did not do something great
deal worse. In fact, he is now "a head
strong, self-wlled man" whom 1t would
never do for the South to trust, since his
weakness for the colored race would lead
him into all manner Of extravagancies, if il
did not make an absolute dictator" o
him.
