We state fncts well known TO intelligent poli-
tfniana. We do not say that General Graht wIli
not, II nominated, be elected; we DO not say
that We shall not support him; we 40 say thar
his nomination renders doubtful Republican
triumph which, with new candidate, publicly
pledged TO the One Term principle, would bo
morally certain. And this is so palpable that In
telligent, thoughtful Republicans, who esteem
The cause more more than any man, are bound

THE EFFKcIs OF FREE TRADE on IRON AND
STEEL.
FIRM the N. Y. Trlbune.l
The British had a monopoly Of supplying the
United States with steel rails. The Tariff broke
il up. Under ii, American steel rails we're sue
cessfully produced, and the price of British rails
immediately declined. The duty on Bcssemer
steel rails has already saved our railroads and
the nation immense sums Of money. On the
other hand, Congress-, in its last revision Of the
Tariff, committed the error Of conceding two
dollars ton to the importers clAmor against
the duty on pig-iron. What was the conse-
quence7 The reduction Of the duty was follow
ed within a week by rise in England in the
price of those brands Of pig metal that are mar
keted here equivalent to the decrease Of our
Tariff The reduction OF the duty did not profit
buyers or consumers here one farthing indeed,
1t was not intended that ii should. The change
solely in the interests Of British iron-masters.

hundred votes Of repeaters were accepted in two
wards, and over three hundred in another. He
says he will contest the election in the Senate,
besides Furnishing the repeaters by criminal
suits. Votes cast yesterday were, however, over
ten thousand less than were cast in October last.

WILMINGTON, DEL.
THURSDAY Afternoon. Feb. {.
MR.. GREELEYs PRESENT POSITION ON
THE pRRSIDENCY.

We make brief extract, elsewhere, from an
editorial in the New York Tribune Of yesterday,
on the Presidency. We understand Mr.. Greeley
TO mean. by the tenor of the whole article, that
he makes no threat of bolting President Grants
reorganization, should that be the result Of the
Philadelphia Convention. He expressly says that
he does not say he will not support such nomi-
nation. But. as a question Of political sagacity,
and public Judgment, he insists that there are
other candidates who would be stronger before
the people than General Grant, and who il
nominated, would be sure to be elected, while
Grant might not be.
This is a much more reasonable stand than Mr.
Greeley has lately taken. We begin to have
hopes that he has once more assumed editorial
charge Of his great newspaper. The absence Of
Ills Managing Editor in the West Indies has,
perhaps, given opportunity to Mr.. Greeley. II
80, we trust the visit may be prolonged.
II the Tribune now means to say, as we think
the tenor of the article implies tnat it will dis
cuss the Republican nomination from Republi-
can standpoint, (and not an outside, independent,
guerrilla position and means only to advance
and urge its own judgment Of what is best to be
done, and viii, when the nomination is made,
support it, whether it be General Grant or some
other man, then we have the situation pretty
well analysed, and in very gratifying manner
separated from the disturbing elements which
have seemed to embarrass it. 1t then becomes
simply question Of Judgment and Of political
sagacity whether another nomination would be
stronger than that Of General Grant. Mr.. Gree
ley says it would. He may be right. But at this
moment, however they may think in June, nine
tenths of the Republicans of the country Judge
exactly the opposite. Is MI. Greeley's opinion,
then. wiser than theirs
