PnEIrICAL.

We learn that there was political gath
ering at Col. Colyar's yesterday evening for
the purpose of taking into consideration the
state Of the nation and the political situa-
ton generally; at which Col. Colyar, Gov.
Foote, Mr.. Roberts, of the Banner; Col.
Paramore, of the Tennessee and Pacific
Railroad to Lebanon; Gen. Thruston,
MIR. Ruhm, and several others, lately
from Cincinnati and mostly dissatisfied
Adams men, were present. The main
point of discussion as we understand it
not having been invited, we cannot be ex-
pected to give perfectly correct report
but the main question of discussion as we
understand it, was: s'What is best to be
done?" or as Bulwer would perhaps say, if
he were writing a work on the subject:
''What will he do with it?"
We learn the conclusion was that it was
necessary, in order to save the Union and
bring the prominent actors in the grand
drama prominently before the foot lights,
W HOiu d ASIL4Ca-iOH' O0A oalAllJ 44OU a SlaIl-
fcation meeting, for they were all Adams
men, in this city on or about the
2Oth inst. 1t was also proposed that there
should be a glorifcation of some sort here
Wednesday night. As the Democratic
State Convention meets on Thursday, there
will probably be number of delegates in
the city Wednesday night, and it may be
that some of them would be pleased to
hear what is best to be done.

The London Press on GreeIey's EOmi-
nation.
LONDON, May 6.-The morning papers
comment on the nomination of Horace
Greeley for President of the United States
by the Liberal Republican Convention.
The Times says the nomination of Gree
ley is farcical and his election is hopeless.
1t however kills President Grants's chance
for reelection and it makes certain the no
minatiOn of a candidate by the Democrats.
The Post argues that Greeley viii be
successful if his nomination is endorsed by
either of the other Conventions yet to be
held. But such action, the Post thinks
impossible.
The Telegraph says the nomination Of
Greeley directly concerns England, because
he is hostile to the treaty of Washington
and is bigoted protectionist.
The NelgS praises Greeley but doubts his
fitness for the position of Chief Magistrate
Of a great nation.
The uncertain aspect of the American
Presidential question had marked in
fuence on American bonds. The market
has become fiat.

A Short Article on Gen. Grant,

IA 1hOA y <AA SASAO Sh OShs
From the New York Times
The Republicans are generally
satisfied with General Grants admin
istration, and inclined to renew his
lease of power, there is very gener-
al conviction that he is a safe and
prudent Executive.
General Grant has been not quite
two years in power. During those
two years many war clouds have
loomed upon the horizon, yet peace
with foreign nations and with indian
tribes has been happily preserved.
The taxes have been largely reduced
yet two hundred millions of the ma,
tional debt have been paid off and
cancelled, though we are Iaying one
hundred and twenty millions Per an
mum for pensions to the widows asd
orphans of our great struggle. We
doubt whether any Government ever
before devoted SO large proportion
of its annual incomes to the payment
of debt. He misunIerstands human
nature who fancies that these facts
will not tell in Presidential contest.
Lest it should be supposed that the
foregoing are the utterances of "an-
organ" We may as well say that it is
quoted from leading article written
by Mr.. Horace Greeley himself. only
a few months ago, and published in
the Tribune. Gen. Grant has con-
tinaed to keep "peaee with foreign
nations" and with "Indian tribes"
to lessen the taxes. and to pay off the
debt, Consequently, he must still
be worthy uf the praises which Mr..
.ireelep bestowed upon him in 1871.
How is that2

Will not the men of the African
race especially cling with deathless
tenacity to the organization which
has achieved for them results so
comprehensive, far-reaching, and
enduring?
Can colored citizens ever hesitate
in their choice between the Republi

sneering and hostile contempt op
posed every generous, HON ane, and
ennobling measure designed for their
