the members Of our National Con-

the sentiments thus sown broad

The st. Louis Republican is authority
for the statement that Senator Cameron
OF Pennsylvania has given a quietus to the
suggestion that Gen. Grant, on bis return
to this country and finding that there is er
active and earnest popular opposition &c
him in New York, Pennsylvania and else
where, may retire from the scramble and
forbid the further use of his pane in
connection with the Chicago nomination.
by impatiently declaring that nothing but
death can preyeut Grants nomination
now. He says further that he has nc
second choice; his coDfid ence that Grant
will be nom inated Cd the first ballot is as
strong as human confidence Gao be; he has
reasons for this opinion not known TO the
public; the contest will be settled long
before the Chicago convention meets;
Maine and Ohio may cast complimentary
votes for their fayorite sons, bat enough
states will be there Instructed for Grant
to make contest useless and che first
ballot will carry nearly all the states for
Grant.
This is authoritative and decisive, for
Senator Cameron evidently knows what he
is talking about.

for the continued bowling of hatred from

the south must be bitterly denounced, and
