niE. BAYARDs STRENGTH.
| In review OF the prominent Presi.
Dental candidates the Augusta CHyoa;cie
aEG Cdnetitufie,,aE:t says.
We would rather vote for Mr. Bayard
than for any other man mentioned In this
1 ht5a ooIIectfonl but tho very enthusiasm
felt for him ID the South would damage
him elsewhere. Il IL d -norstrous sbstne
that this Is SO, but wo are not now look.
ing at things as we would have them, but
as they are. The Presidency would be
honorad by Mr. Bayafd. It would confer
no additional honor upon hin. But q
\ grave doubt exists "a TO his ability ia
carry any State East or West, under the
storm OF calumny and lies that would be
hurled against him from preSs, pulpit
and money marte. Itis true chat he rep.
rse0Hts all that fs most sublime in the
American character, and shat no man Ia
o atauncher adherent OF the money
power, SO far as the good faith Of the
;country 10 concerned; but his intense
sympathy for tho South and her glowing
affection for him would work, We apprs.
heud. .ngainst his chances In States that
arc dehatabie and most important.
We regret 10 see such paragraphs aa
this, fer unless properly weighed they
are likely 70 result ID che overthrow Of
Mr. Bayard as Presidential nominee

him could do. These utterances are very
common just now sll over the Union,
and If all of them are 20 reliable and
sincere Gs the extract from our Augusta
contemporary, they prove Senator Bay.
ard to be The decided choice of the whole
Democratic pafty. and that his nomina-
tion would sweep the country with per.
feet storm of popular enthusiasm. Most
Of the independent papers have declared
for tho Delaware Senator, and quite q
number of Republican papers prefer him
TO Grant, wko is likely to be the Repub.
lican nominee, OF course, the doubts
expressed by Democratic papcrs will not
be expressed after the nomination, and
the effort Of the malignant partisan press
Of the Republican party will be unable
to make much headway against the uni.
yeraally conceded pure and exnlted
character Of NJ. Bayard. His most ma.
lignant foes are totally unable to assail
him in any way, except by parading hia
peace sentiments in 1861 before the coun.
