' - ; : ' u- -i - RADICAL NOMINEE.1 ..- The time is drawing on apace not with slow and leaden feet,, but with the irresis tible : speed of fleeting moments; the forces are being marshaled under shrewd leadership, and soon in national conven- tlon the standard bearer f each political party will i be named.- Aspirants! on either side for the nomination : are not ) ' prominently up Sherman;,: Grant j and Blaine, in our estimation the chances are as in the order named. Had we our choice, we : .would' VnVesitatingly pro nounce in favor of Grant for two reasons. The ! first aod chief is, that we believe that he would be the easiest man of the three defeated. ; - ! . . The idea of ainird ternWarties with it an odor, that is exceedingly disagreeable toj the masses of , the American people. While General Grant is undoubtedly strong at the South, while his name is a tower of -j strength among the ignorant and deluded blacks, ! while he would be. able perhaps to win from the Democracy one of the Southern ; States, ; and so lay that5 terrible ghost: a solid South; j yet this loss' would .be mora than counter balanced by the loss to the Radical party of either Ohio, Pennsylvania or, even per haps Illinois. There the people, strange ; as it may sound in our ,ears, are more ' . tenacious, of their liberties, and guard their rights wi.h V more vigilance and jealous care. The reason why this is so, is plaini j ;Our rights have been denied to us so long and so persistently; they have been so hawked at, spit upon and held in such utter disregard and contempt, that we have almost - abandoned all -hope. A ' large portion of the people of the North ' feel, that'a" third term mean3 Empire. ! : Another-reason why we would favor the nomination of Grant is: that in the event of his election, we would be no longer: uncertain as to otir fate;" be 'be lieves in a strong centralized government, and, we believe after that, a sceptre or a crown - " ' . ' 'r:' - ' " :: Now.tw (peak -for burself alone. - - We have commenced to j lose faith in a Re publican form of government, especially as administered by the Radical party. England from our infancy has said, that our government is but a Vrope of sand." Not one act in these latter days has been , . . ... passed by Congress directly or exclusive ly for the benefit of the people, but all of its legislation has been shaped and guided to advance partisan aims and purposes. Was the resistance of the Radicals in the last Congress to the repeal pf . the act permitting the presence of troops at the polls, in the interest of the' people, in a free exercise oi their use of the ballot 4 Was it to preserve the purity of elec tions? No indeed; the contrary was the fact; It was but to continue the lease of the power of the Radical, party. We are free to confess, that we would rather see Grant Emperor of this country, than see a second Hayes, or any other Radical in the land President, and so see the farce continued of a free government administered as in the last eighteen years. While we loathe and detest General Grant,' and look upon him as being cor rupt and vicious, yet he is not. the besot ted ignoramus, which he is by many rep resented to be; were hej hi3 hold upon the admiration and esteem of a large class of the citizens of this country would) be unnatural ana phenomenal; he may be a knave, but he is evidently no fop uui njt'b t J.

We are opposed to . hypocrisy and de ceit as much in- governments, as we are in individuals; next to ingratitude hy pocrisy is the blackest crime in the cal endar. If we are to be ruled and gov erned after the manner of an Empire, then in the name of candor call this country an Empire. In the early days we were a community of tcoequal States, now we are a consolidated Nation. We have but a little way further ta drift irom the teachings of the fathers, to dash upon the rocks, or strand upon the gold en sands (we know not which) of Mon archy or Empire. A long continued lease of power to any. one party ia dan gerous, to free republican institutions. A third term, and after that, what ? 'POLITICAL NOTES. Enough has, been shown up about 'last year's! election in Cincinnati to indicate that the Ohio people do not need to go to Louisiana for frauds. The! idea that the safety of this country requires that one, party shall hold all the offices is ,what keeps things in a'sfate pf excitement, so much of the time. - J As the Massacusetts Republican have decided to hold their convention two days in advance of that of the Democrats, it may be worth while for them to keep their eyes wide open. Butler may want to steal their party this year. " I Wouldn't it be a reasonably good idea to put the Engjish Mission up at auction ? The administration, which seems to be troubled about getting a man rich enough for the place, could be assured then that if a man were rich enough to buy it he could also, afford to sustain the dig nity of it.
