The Convention which assemblies to-day
at Cincinnati meets under circumstances
very different from those that have attend
ed any previous National gathering of the
Republican party. In other years the
work Of the delegates has been laid out
for them with tolerable distinctness before
hand, and they have had little to do except
to give form to the clearly expressed judy
ment of their constituents. Only once, up
to this time, has there really been contest
Of Presidential candidates within Repub-
lican Convention, and even then, in the
presence ofthe great issues oftheimpending
conflict, the rivalry between the friends Of
Seward and Lincoln was short and unem.
Filtered. But to-day things have changed.
The great national questions of the Ere
mont and Lincoln campaigns are settled.
The patriotic impulses Of the war period
are felt no longer The enthusiasts Of
the epaulet era have spent their force.
The party has gone the way of all parties
which, having accomplished their original
policy, live upon the glory of it while they
have not yet found another. Ithas fallen
into the hands Of adventurous and money
getters; il has grown careless and corrupt
it has become an organization of place
holders and place-hunters, with few mil
lions Of honest private citizens following
blindly in the rear, some because they
honor its past and cling to its associations,
others because they hope to regenerate it
and direct it toward nobler aims, And so.
at the age oftwenty years, the Republican
party approaches what may prove a crisis
in its career.
There is general disposition to exag.
gerate the importance of passing events,
aud it may be that the influence Of to-days
Convention upon the welfare of the party
will be much less than most of us imagine.
Convinced, however, that the Republican
organization ought to offer better prom.
Use of honest government and an enlight-
ened policy than its rival, we watch the
struggle to-day at Cincinnati with an
interest which merely personal contest
could not inspire.
There is something more at stake than
the individual fortunes of few prominent
politicians. There is strife OF factions
that almost reaches the dignity of ma.
tional eonyulsion, conflict of administra-
tive systems that touches the importance
Of a great public policy. Whether the
Government Of the United States is to be
administered any longer by tie aid Of
rotten boroughs, whether the South is still
to be harried aid turned upside down,
whether $4,000 Federal appointees are to
be organized into compact political ma
chine for the purpose Of making nomina-
tons and carrying elections according to
the orders Of one central authority, wheth-
err the votes Of State can be bought and
sold ut Washington, whether the Custom
house is to save US the trouble Of electing
our rulers-such are the problems that
now press upon the Republican party for
solution. We need not point out how
directly they are Involved in the riyalries
Of candidates at Cincinnati, nor how Sc
riously the answer to them may affect, or
certainly ought to affect, the future Of the
party.

The Baltimore Gazette of Thursday
says MIR. Pomeroy, the presiding officer
Of the Cincinnati convention, 10 his speech
yesterday said aThe brightest pages Of
American history are but the life story of
the Republican party Yes. What a
beautiful page is that which tells how
Delano swindled the poor Indian What
a splendid page is that which relates how
Belknap cheated the dead of the republic
out Of their tombstones, and narrates the
way in which he let loose his bands Of
predatory post-traders upon the living
soldiers on the plains What thrilling
chapter is that which tells how the whis-
key ring swindled the treasury out Of
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars The
page which details the enterprise Of Bah
cock in opening safes, and Of Boss Shep-
herd in running up debt Of twenty mil
lions Of dollars, is the most glorious Of
all. The credit.mobilier page i a magni-
ficent one; and like to the freedman ) bank
page there is nothing in all our history.
