Therefore now is the time for the people, ' Irrespective of all parties, to unite in prelimi ' nary action looking to a comprehensive and '.powerful organization, one that will com pletely revolutionize and overwhelm all mere partisan combinations in the next Presidential ' lection. Now is the time for the people to meet, organize, and communicate with each other, without reoognizing either of the old corrupt political parties or their rotten out ' croppings of mean, shabby, and irresponsible little factions. Look at the work of these old parties the Rebellion, with its untold horrors; ' the alienation of one section of our people ' from the other; the accumulation of a moun tain of national debt that, "pile Pelion on I ssa," or the debt of France and England one upon the other, you will scarcely find its equal , in magnitude and direct oppressiveness upon " , the people. Look at a crippled foreign com- sneroe and a stagnant internal trade. Look at " the corruption that blackens the national capi ' tal, overshadows the halls of State legislation, and renders insecure even the commonest but jnost sacred ties of life and humanity. Even a convention to reform by constitutional pro- Visions some of the grievances i3 met at the , threshold of its proceedings by the bloody ' death of one of its most prominent members, ! for the alleged commission of a crime against civilized society. There is no safety, no jus ' tioe, no law, no religion under the present 1 debased system of political management. It ' Is all crime grabbing, corruption, commercial ' prostration, and moral and political prostitu ' tion as the law is now administered and Society is now organized. The parties that produce these political evils and crimes demand a thorough breaking up. It can be accomplished by the reconstruction of the law-making and the law-administering powers. Under the infiuence of this great movement the South can bo more readily re constructed, and the prosperity of that moan ing section of the country be restored. The Whole country will rejoice in this humanizing revival, and the old corrupt, vicious, and de moralizing parties, with their intrigues for Chase, lien Wade, Stanton, or anybody else, go to the wall. Let the work at once be commenced in this State, by city, town, and county action, for the coming fall campaign. It can be done in private or publio assemblages, provided the old politicians are kept out. The people will thus be prepared to enter the field next year well organized and equipped for a Bhort, sharp, and decisive campaign for the Presi " dency, or, in the event of the radicals bring ing their Rebel batteries to bear too strongly, to declare, in the words of their heroic leader, "We will fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." The Kext Presidency. "From the Time. Publio sentiment tends strongly to the nomination of General Grant for next Presi dent. Unless something unusual happens to turn this rising tide of opinion, it will become resistless before the party conventions meet. The feeling that he is the man for the crisis i3 not confined strictly to any party though, of . course, it is the strongest in the Union ranks. But the mass of the Democratic party those less wedded to party than to the country ' would not regret the election of a man whose ' devotion to the public good has always been supreme, and who has rendered services to the Union which the nation can never forget. Nor is there any reason to believe that the people of the Southern States would regard Lis election as galling to their pride or in any way hostile to their welfare. To him, more than to any other one man, they owe the de feat of their attempt to secede; but we believe the great mass of the Southern people will soon regard that defeat as the most fortunate event ' of their history. The vigor and venom with which General . Grant is assailed by General Butler, Wendell Phillips, and the men of their school, testify their fear of him as a candidate, and their con viction that they cannot use him, as President. Their attacks upou him will only make him Stronger with the great body of those who look to union, peace, and harmonious co-operation of all States and all sections in promoting the national welfare as the great end and aim of political effort, liis devotion to the Union has Leen proved by the highest of all tests. Ilia conviction that the work of reoonstruotion Should be under the guidance of Union men that the open enemies of the Union should not take part in its reorganization that the prin ciples vindicated and established by the war Should be imbedded imperishably in the oon stitutional structure of our Government, is known to all who have taken pains to inform themselves of his opinions. And his publio action is the result of his convictions, not of liis resentments. lie consults his judgment, ; not his passions, for his rule of conduct Patriotism, not ambition, prompts his polioy It could not be expected, therefore, that the apostles of confiscation and of extermination Should find in him one suited at all to the execution of their plana. He will have their resoluto and persistent hostility just as Mr. Lincoln had It, for the same reasons, and we trust with the same result.

That is true; but it loaves .open the question what a statesman is. The people of this country have come to some conclusions of their own as to the essential character of statesmanship. If we may judge by their past action, they are. not inclined to aonept the current definition of that word. "They find their models of statesmanship outside the sacred circle of those who have been set apart, by choice or circumstances, to the work of holding office and managing publio affairs. They undoubtedly know what they lose thereby, but they also know what tliey gain. They lose the advantages of training and ex perience, of eloquence in writing and in speech, of familiarity with the arts of politicians and the resources of diplomatists; and these losses are by no means light. Put they gain a fresh sense of duty and responsibility, a quick sym pathy with popular impulses and wants, a clear perception of the tendencies and neces sities of the nation, and deliverance from the network of political intrigue which friends, dependants, and parasites inevitably weave around the man, however great, who has spent years in the labors and associations of publio life. And, so far as we can Judge from their action, they regard their gains as out weighing their losses in this respect. , General Grant is the only one of the men now talked of for the Presidency who is not so mixed up with party projects, so committed to special policies and schemes, so hampered by having "friends to reward and enemies to punish," as to destroy all publio faith in his disinterested independence, and in his ability to make the publio good the sole guide of his public action. There is no distinct line or scheme of policy to bo compassed by the next election. The questions of publio polioy which lonowea ine ciose oi tne war nave beon settled, and they are not likely to be disturbed. Slavery is blotted out forever. The negroes of the Southern States have been clothed with civil and political rights, and have become essential elements of Southern civil and politi cal society. Governments will be organized in those States on the basis of the law of Con gress and those States will have resumed their practical relations in the Union, and their relative power in its Government, be fore the Presidential election comes round. The next Administration will find the business of reconstruction accomplished, se far as laws and enactments can do it. What will be needed then will be the restoration or rather the inspiration of mutual faith and good feel ing, of common sentiments, motives, and prin ciples of action between the different sections of the Union. The North will need a man in whose devotion to the principles that have been established by the war to the Union, to equality of l ights, and to the good of all classes and conditions alike, they can have a firm and abiding faith. And the South will want a man in whose justice and magnanimity they can find security against relentless persecution, and the protracted inlliution of ruinous punishment for past offenses. It is the general temper and tone of the man to the predominant spirit and habit of his public conduct rather than to any specific doctrine or policy which he may hold, that the people of the whole country will look in the coming canvass. And we know as yet of no man so likely to meet the popular demand in this respect as General Grant. It is said that he does not want the nomina tion. That very fact will increase tenfold the chance of his getting it. There is nothing of which the people of this country have shown themselves more jealous and distrustful than of open aspirations for the Presidency. The fact that any man wants to be President, and manifestly allows that want to guide his pub lic action, is with the people a powerful reason against his having it. If Calhoun, Clay, and Webster had shown less eagerness for the office, if they had not impressed upon the public mind the conviction that its attainment was the great aim and object of their lives, they would have surmounted the most for midable of the obstacles which they encoun tered. The belief that General Taylor did not desire the Presidency went very far with the people to satisfy them that he was a man who might be trusted in it. The Presidency is scarcely an office which can be considered a fair object of political ambition. Its respon sibilities are too great to be devolved upon men whose motives in seeking it are fairly open to suspicion. No man who seeks it for selfish purposes, even for the sake of gratifying a personal ambition, natu ral and laudable enough in itself, can satisfy the publio distrust of his fitness for it. It is too high an oilice to be "either sought or declined," and if the people believe that in accepting it General Graflt would waive rather than gratify his personal inclinations, and would yield solely to a sense of duty and a de sire to serve his country, that conviotion will give him a stronger hold on their confidence and favor than years of intriguing for it could possibly do. That he will accept it when satisfied that the people desire him to do so, we have not the slightest doubt; that he will seek it, or that the prospect of having it ten dered to him will influence his judgment or action in the least, we do not believe. We look forward to the nomination of Gene ral Grant by the National Convention of the Union party. That the most strenuous efforts will be made to defeat it is sufficiently evident from movements already public. The entire machinery of the Republican party in the Southern States is in the hands of his oppo nents, and the representatives of that party in the Convention, elected, as of course they will be, wholly by negro votes, will probably be cast against him. Bat the great body of the Union party in the North and West will, unless we are greatly mistaken, become so satisfied that the existence of the party, as well as the welfare of the country, depend upon his becoming its candidate, that we have very little doubt of that result. Reconstruction-Let Well Enough Alone. From the Tribune. We are informed that the President and his Cabinet are about to consider the condition of the Southern States, under the recent act of Congress, and to proclaim certain rules in reference to the conduct of the Major-Generals Commanding. It is furthermore rumored that the action of General Sheridan in removing Governor Wells led to an angry disoussiou at a recent Cabinet meeting, and that Mr. Stan bery is preparing an opinion to justify the President in removing General Sheridan. It is also rumored that General Grant has ex pressed anxiety in regard to Sheridan, and while he will not recommend his removal, he still feels that he might be reprimanded. We are happy to welcome any expression of General Grant that seems to indioate an opinion on any national question; but we be lieve this rumor to be untrue. General Grant will hardly care to interfere with his renowned subordinate. At a critical portion of the war, he found it necessary to give Sheridan but one order: "Go in." If he Las any order to give, let him repeat that. We do not think the country will view pa tiently any interference on the part of the President with the provisions of the Recon struction art. That aot was paused in defi ance of Jhe I'rosident. He came into his office with the settleinpnt of the war upon his hands. Instead of taking the advice of Congress by calling an extra session, or even the counsel of statesmen who might be presumed to speak the opinions of the party dominant in Con gress, he created a policy of his own. It was offensive to the nation. It proposed to sacri fice the loyal men of the South to the spirit of rebellion. It would have surrendered to Davis more than Lee yielded to Grant. Still it was a "policy." Mr. Seward supported it in Lis reckless, gladsome way. Mr. MuCul loch went out of his way to be its persistant minister. Mr. Stanton countersigned the orders which sent Terry and Saxton into dis grace, and conferred honors upon Fullerton and Custar. A few persons like Dix, created by Almighty God apparently for no other pur pose than to hold office, and gifted witli a ravenous instinct of power, supported the Pre sident. Then came the wholesale removals from office. ' Intrepid Republicans were stricken down by hundreds for daring to be lieve in the teachings of Lincoln; men were rewarded for betraying thoir party, and even in foreign Courts spies and Informers were permitted to wander and collect gossip for our Secretary of State. All the powers of the Pre sidential office its terrors and its blandish mentswere used for the purpose of insuring the success of the "policy." Well, what came of it 1 The President met with disastrous and humiliating defeat. His "policy" was overruled. The creatures he placed in office as a reward of treaohery were driven out. Nay. more, the ereat office which he held, and whose patronage he wielded with more than the imperial will of Jackson, was cut, ana trimmed, and shorn of the greater part of its strength. It would no longer be a menace 10 a iree people, ms "States" were overturned. The Reconstruction law was passed, and its duties assigned to generals of me army, iihs wa3 well understood. The President opposed it furiously. He threw his vetoes before Coneress steo bv steis. So rok. lessly was this done, that at one time it was almost certain that he would be Impeached. or that his powers under this act would be assigned to Ueneral Grant. Mr. Stevens de sired this, and a large party followed him. We believe this would have been done but for the assurance that any law Congress would pass the President would execute in letter and spirit. This assurance or. rather, this well founded belief did everything to decide Con gress, ii it Had not existed, the President would most probably have been removed. This was the situation when Congress ad Jouraed. Suspicious of his Excellency, not altogether trusting his sincerity, its members! provided for a summer session. But the Presi dent has done so well, he has obeyed the law so faithfully, that impeachment has died, the summer session will scarcely be held, and we find ourselves quietly drifting into an era of good feeling. Reconstruction progresses. Im partial suilrage has been established in the South. The various problems that sorely tried our statesmen are being gradually solved by events. With suffrage to the slave we have had amnesty to the Rebel. Even the great chief of the Rebels has been released from prison and permitted to go to Canada, with but a trivial expression of dissent Mr. Chase presides over a Southern court, and the pro cess of habeas corpus has been resumed. The freedmen are gradually becoming freemen. Citizenship sits easily upon them. The coun try is at rest, and, considering the question of political reconstruction settled, addresses itself to the finances and tariffs. Our political sky is serene, with the exception of a little cloud that steals over it, scarcely larger than a man's hand. , . We know the President must be sorely tempted to use whatever power he may pos sess to oppose a measure which he assailed so vindictively last winter. That is well under stood. The country appreciates the fidelity with which he performs his most unwelcome work. But he must perform it. His admin istration will not be permitted to interfere with reconstruction by removing the generals who have the confidence of the country, and ap- Eointing men in whom it has no confidence, et the President but attempt this let him oppose his executive prerogative to the opera tions of the Military bill, and in a day this era of good feeling will become a season of rage and hate this little cloud will cover the heavens with blackness. The country is intensely earnest on this sub ject. Let Sheridan or Sickles, for instance, be removed, and a summer session of Congress will lie inevitable. With a summer session the President'sjfunctions will most assuredly be so limited that it will not be in his power ever after to remove any General Command ing. All the bitterness that prevailed last year will be renewed, a hundred questions will suffer, and the work of national pacifica tion be stopped merely that the President and Congress may have another controversy. Such a controversy can have but one result for the people feel with Congress, and will sustain it. The danger is that the wise and temperate measure of last session, under which the coun try is doing so well, will be succeeded by a measure less wise and temperate. Everything is doing well. We entreat the President and his Cabinet, for their own sakes, as well as for the sake of the country, to let well enough alone. The Yew Pcparttment of Education. From the World. The delightful tendency of all truly free government to enlarge itself and its area of operation, is shown in the Washington tele gram, which we published on Monday, con cerning the now "Department of Education." This new department, forecasting its future glory, already exhibits a superior scorn of the State, Treasury, War, and Navy Depart ments, all which are basely "subordinate" and inferior. "Like the Commissioner of Agriculture," the immortal Newton, "the Commissioner on Education," we are told, will report directly to Congress, not being subordinate to any department of the Govern ment. The common-school systom of the United btates has hitherto been deemed one of the most creditable of our institutions. Fostered by grants of land belonging to the people of the country, it indeed has been; but the sys tem has had its roots in State legislation and has thriven upon State taxes, has been man aged by State officials, and has been the pride and peculiar care of the people of each State. But all this was in our pre-millennial epoch. Everything is to be changed. As the nation is governed supremely, so it is to be educated primarily, from Washington. We are not unjustly deemed by the wise men of the East who rule us to be an uneducated and bar barian people, needing light from the central sun, and education from the most refulgent source of wisdom, to wit the Senate and the House of Representatives in Congress assem bled, outshining through the translucent me dium of a "Commissioner of Education, not subordinate to any other department of the Government." It is doubtless true that the Creator of the solar system rrcolates its vast revolutions and Its infinite movements with perfect ease, j It wouui, vnereiore, ue profane to doubt that the Congress of a party of great moral ideas should be able.when seated upon their thrones in the Cspitol to direct with case and felicity all the affairs of that portion of the terraque ous globe which owns their rule and deruina tion. Indeed, the devout partiaaa may fitly question whether these our earthly rulers have sufficient occupation for their vast and varied faculties in those matters already sub jected to their control, and whether they do not stand in most distressing need of larger areas of sovereignty, more multitudinous and complicated concerns of men for that ample exhibition of themselves and thoir powers which should Justify their works and ways to the sons of men. .That splendid advocate, the late Mr. Rufaa Choate, in an oration on "Deliberative Elo quence as affected by Revolutionary Crises," after celebrating the praises of Demosthenes, and of Cicero, and of Adams as the orators of nations In the agony of death or birth, lamented that Webster should have fallen upon quiet times, a world's long peace, so that the depths of his great nature were never wholly stirred, nor all the thunders of his eloquenoe aroused, as they would have been by some like crisis at A nation's cradle or its grave. If by such in terior things as these we may illustrate supe rior themes, permitted to us also be the doubt whether the calm Stevens, the dispassionate BoutwelL the sagacious Kelley, the serene Shellabarger, the pure Sprague, and the wise Wade and Van Winkle have had. or ever can have, their perfect and cnnplete display, cribbed, cabined, and con fined as they are within the limits upon their legislative action set by the present Constitution and the custom of the several States of the Union themselves to do what hitherto they have supposed themselves bet ter able to do than any other for them. Those larger movements of the unfettered miud, to which these our earthly sovereigns are equal, what room for them is there in the manage ment of a paltry two or three billions of debt, in the selection of fifteen or sixteen thousand subjects of taxation, in the reconstruction of ten discrowned, once sovereign States, in lightening the burdens of our industry, and unfettering the wings of our commeroe, In composing the strifes of a gigantic civil war, in opening to the black race of the South tne patns or its progress to fitness for citizen ship, or averting from the Indian races of the iar W est the provoked or unprovoked calami tipfl nf fin ffYlfrniinfltincr nrar Tliaaa m a tlnn indeed, would exhaust the statesmanship and satisfy the ambition of any sovereign in the i Old World, as they would have taxed the ! faculties and enlarged the fame of those who founded and those who reared this wonder of the New. But the nation which lost, when Webster died, a complete and perfect eloquence for the crisis of its regenerating throes, has happily let loose from her teeming womb statesmen superior to every exigency of its diplomacy, omniscient for all its palingenetio legislation, capably indifferent to all the dan gers of its wars, and supremely prescient of ail tne perils ot its nnance. Therefore, lest haply wisdom die with us for lack of ample room and verge enough, let ns rejoice that these superior beings with whom neaven lias so kindly blessed our latter days are not to become extinct for laok of de velopment, nor impotent for want of room to exercise all their monstrous powers. In assuming the education of the rising seventy millions of young Americans of the next two or three decades, all the wisdom of the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress assembled may find employment for its unexhausted capacities and faculties un evoked. Their CommLjsioner of Education is now engaged, we are told, in "transmitting circulars to Governors of States calling for the requisite information in regard to their educa tional interests." Superfluous and unneces sary toil 1 Are not all things of the circum ference known to the centre f Does the sun receive light from the planets, or they from him ? Let not the Commissioner vex these lesser orbs with demands for light. Let him rather wait till the winter solstice, and then behold how light and knowledge shall stream from the Capitol, instructing the Governors and General Assemblies of our national con stellation not only with all needed "informa tion in regard to the educational interests of their several States," but also with boundless intelligence upon matters hitherto undreamed of in their local and narrow philosophy. Our youths, in their school-boy days alone, these governors and general assemblies have directed the education of. But Congress, be ginning, as their unsubordinated Commis sioner says, with the District of Columbia "as a point of commencement on the education of the country," shall direct the evolution of the infant mind from the cradle to the grave. For is not all life an education, and does it not begin at the cradle, and where does it end short of the grave f Trees incline as twigs are bentand what more "supremely concerns our rising race than that their education should fall into proper hands at the very clipping of the umbilical cord? The Fortieth Congress sees its opportunity, and knows its duty. Hereafter let nurses and matrons be at peace, and schoolmasters and tutors rest their per turbed spirits. An act of Congress shall here after measure their swaddling clothes, and provide regulation pins for the diapers of all the children of the republio, apportion due doses of Liebig's lactine, containing protein and all other essential elements of food, prescribe the diameter of teething rings, the dimensions of the national cradle, and the height of the only American baby-jumper. Two-thirds of both Houses by a joint resolu tion, suited thus to escape some too paternal President's veto, shall ordain the due amount of spanking, to be administered by a national police, abolish congenital strabismus, and do away with bandy-legged infants by penal en actments. Thus.nurtured with a tender care, every child of freedom will safely and happily pass from infancy and childhood to blooming youth. Here too some act entitled an act to amend the acts of all our forefathers shall select their phonetio a b abs, assign to Sum ner the preparation of their universal primer, obtain of Yates and Chandler their object lessons, and establish the Websterian spelling by a fifteenth amendment to the Federal Con stitution. Elijah Pograni shall return from his home in the setting sun to inspire them with geography; Banks, from Portland to New Orleans, shall teach all our youths deport ment; and regulation birch, measured by the Coast Survey, shall Beoure that equality of discipline among all the children of the re public, black or white, which will best pre pare them for that equality of rights and privileges which is to be the enjoyment of their manhood. But he who oould predict all the glories of this dawning millennium would himself be fit to join in ushering in its day.
