The Third Term,

There has been lot of stuff in the
papers for the last two or three months
about the Democratic party taking up
President Grant in 1876, and running
him for third term. We presume no
one seriously contemplatcs such a step,
though the party has done several fool
ish things in the last ten years. For ex.
ample, there was the nomination of
Gen. Mcclellan for the Presidency in
1864; then Seymour, of New York-a
famous war Dcmocrat--in 1868; and
Horace Greeley, in 1872, who had been
a bitter unyielding aud unrelenting po-
litical opponent all the days Of his life.
With the results attained on the occa.
sions alluded to fresh in the minds of
all, the leaders will hardly venture TO
repeat the experiment; but if they
should, we undertake TO say that they
will have no following that will amount
TO anything. Expediency may some.
times achieve temporary success, but an
abandonment Of principle cannot but
lead TO disintcgration and ultimate dis.
