The Presidency.

There has been no time for many
years that there has been less agitation
~ to the future nominee for the posi-
ton of President a. the present. The
nearly equal strength Of the two prom
inent parties oompek politicians to act
cautiously, and no boom seems to meet
with any success or much favor. The
people snxiously await developments,
yet . strong feelingi is rapidly settling
in favor of Arthur and Lincoln as the
respective candidates and it is . de-
structive policy to undertake to over
ride public opinion.
The judicious cous pursued by
Arthur since he assumed the response
bic position of President, under Cir
cumstances of the most discouraging
character-the party in fragments
the affairs of government in q tumult
the most important questions affect
ing its stability presented and many
matters to be adjusted, he has restored
it to tranquility, harmonized the party,
strengthened the administration and
country. His course has been remark
ably judicious and displays more ex-
ecutive ability than wa ever attributed
70 him. He has been faithful, honest
and competent. He has given us one
of the very best administrations. He
has never Abored to promote his indi-
vidual interests or advancement. Has
appointed persons to Office known to
be opposed to him Never made an
effort to secure the nomination for
President, and his selection for die
position will be q free will offering of
the people.-Lincom Nescs.
