Among the causes, in my apprehension,
tending to impair this harmony would be a
personal canvass before the people by those

element of discord before the nomination and
drawback to harmony afterwards, which we
cannot encounter.

The New York Tribune has a pledge
signed by two thousand Republicans Of that
city, that they will not vote for third.term
candidate if he is nominated. Similar papers
with large numbers of signatures to them, are
extant in Cincinnati and Chicago.
- The Michigan State Republican Conven.
