POLITICAL NOTES.

The latest Presidential nomination is this,
from TIE Cincinnati Commercial: " William Cullen
Bryant would be a good for President Of the
United States Hc is not as old at eighty as tho ma
Old men seem TO be such popular candi-
3ates in Ono it is suggested that the Republicans
g run the Eon 3. F. Wade for Governor against Gov.
Alien II the ADVICE should followed the contest
would certainly not lack vivacity
For want of something else TO talk about,
politicians discussing the claims OF candi-
dates the overnorship There thought TO be some
doubt abou; Gov. Dingieys willingness TO run for a
third term and the Republicans are said to think favor
adv OF brstowing the domination upon the Hon. j. H.
b JrummOnd.
Tie Springfield Republican, which has never
sen acve part the third term discussion, makes
this Observation on III Presidents last messages The
English of this message Is Authorize me 70 make war
pon the government and people OF Arkansas, in the
interest my third term. The response OF Congress to
tins statesmanke and patrotic reques will be awaited
with lively interest We do NOT pe-mNt ourselves 10
have any doubts as 10 what it viii be-"
The organs are absolutely dumb-fOunded
by the Presidents unexpected message on Arkansas
Affairs They had ali accepted the report Of the Com
ttee advising against Interference IA conclusive
and had sgniAed their approval OF that recommenda
aou and now the President. without noticing the re-
port at ALL comes against the existing Government
1t Is dreadful bard time for organ there is no
mistake about that In TINS Instance IT is encouraging
30 notice that several prominent organs which nave
changed their abruptly sevecal times during the
mast few weeks refuse 10 do IT for the President
and maintain their position against Interference
There is a disposition on the part of some
0. the Administration organs 70 claim party credit
in the defeat Of Butter, Chandler, and Carpenter.
Look" they cry land see bow we are reforming the
party from the inside We turning out all Of our bad
men" Nothing could be more false than these asser
lions Ali OF these defeated in spite OF party
and party machinery In each case the whole power OF
the Administration thrown in favor OF the defeated
candidates. and the whole credit OF the change be-
longs to the who had the courage to bolt cancus
nominations and stand fearessy by their sense OF
right. The Administration has been warmly rebuRed IN
each OF these TONS ana the Dest Vhg u Gan ~ - W
profit by the lesson.
There is sound sense in every word of this
oaragra ph in The Boston Advertiser: The sectional
spirit will never be conquered by sweeping denuncia
tons OF an ntelloent population as 6anditt, muir
1erers' and assassins.' Gen. Butler has done more
within week to perpetuate strife and rancor between
The sections and tho races than can be corrected In
generation without prompt and decisive reputation
Of him and allies Let the country bear Ia mlnd that
ne ia already repudated In Massachusetts, and let the
Southern people rest in the conviction that THIS COM
onvea,tb and the great majority OF the Northern peo
pie have indicated a strong disapprOyal OF al MS
clan The North wants and good government,
and IN tins respect OF mind with the South. What
s now doing is desperate throw Of political gam
7lers struggling for another chance as reyoung In
