THE sUBJEcT OF RELIGION has been
dragged into the campaign in New York,
which is, Of course all wrong. We do not
know which side Is responsible for 1t, but no
matter who the aggrossor may be, It cannot
be defended on any ground. We believe the
Tribune was the first to oyerleap the sacred
barrier and to argue that Mr.. Kernan's
Cathollclty was an argument In his favor
That journal, however, denies the charge
and It is hardly worth while to hunt up old
files to sec whether It's memory is as accurate
"a It says II is. But however that may be, II
the Tribune, or any other journal, used the
argument 1t is entirely wrong. 1t is contrary
to the genius and the spirit Of our lnstltu-
tons, un-republlcan and un-American. Re.
ligion is not q qualification or a disqualified
ton In purely political con tests, and should
not be so regarded. II certain men arc to be
nominated aud elected because they belong
to certain faith, and II other men arc to be
defeated because they profess another creed,
1t Is the 1rSt step towards an established
church. The time has gone by when we
wore torn and divided by such pRltry cOnsid-
CITATIONS. 1t belonged to the barbaric period
Of our politics.

CARL SCHURz must be disgusted about this
time. First Of all we have King William de-
Gliding the San Juan boundary question in
our favor. Notwithstanding the desperate eff
fort he made to prejudice him against Gen.
Grant and the Administration. Then, again,
he witnesses an address presented to Mr..
Washburne by the Germans Of New York,
and reads In II the words! mot only did you
carry out to tho letter the already liberal In
structions Of our present Administration, 10
which the Germans Of this country will ever
he indebted for such noble sympathy, which
was eager to manifest itself by deeds, but you
voluntarily made sacrifices Of personal com
fort; you opened your own Golfers and lardors
to the needy and starving Germans, and gave
choerfully from your own stores and prUvi-
sions." And TO this he hears Mr.. Washburno
replyi ut lie TO the administration Of General
Grant that such credit is due, for It was by
its specific direction that l complied with the
sumo tho protection of the Germans In
France during the continuance Of the war
between the two countries" And, finally, In
Imagination he sees seventy-flve per cent. Of
the German Americans OF the United States,
whom he promised to transfer to Mr.. Gree
ley, marching up to the polls on the 9th Of
November next to vote that Administration
another four years Of power. And, worse ag-
grayatlon still, he sees the end Of the two
hundred-dollar slanderous, dcfamatory
speeches.

Grant is thc Choice.

There arc someambitious Rcpub-
licans who would like to have their
names used in connection with the
Presidency at the Philadelphia Con-
vention. They are cautious enough
to say that should the Convention
conclude not to put Grant in NOM
nation, that they wish to be con-
sidered as candidates. While We
believe it is the privilege ofevery ma
tive born American citizen to aspire
to become President, yet We think
the office should seek the man and
not the man the Office. While it
is the right of the citizen to en-
deayor to qualify himself for 50
high and responsible a position, we
do not think that right extends to
the urging of individual claims by
the citizen himself. The man who
is chosen to that position should he
the voluntary choice of the people,
lie should be brought forward, Sc
lected by them. Tie individualswho
have recently announced themselves
are each of them good men, and
would, either of them, do well in
the office should he he nominated
and elected; but neither Of them is
the choice of the Republican party.
five read the signs Of the times
aright, General Grant combines
more strength and enthusiasm in the
party than all of these aspiautsput
together. He is the choice of the
Republicans OF this nation for Pres
ident, and as such should be their
next candidate, and will be. Like
Ben Butler, we believe Grant will
be nominated on the first ballot by
a large majority.
