THE•RADICAL NOMINEES
The unanimity with .which GOD. Grant
was chosen as the Radical nominee at Chi
cago is of 00 essential value, except as it may
show the skill with which the party leaders
had manipulated public opinion to subserre
the purpose they wished to ace,mtplish. In
_himself, he has taw or ho elements - to pro
mote an enthusiastic admiiiition, but
there is a prestige attached to his position
daring the war which rendered hint in a cer
t tin setts& the tuo-t ayailahle tout for the
party. The decision was reached a year ago
Cott Gen. Grant was the only person who
could save the Radii-al organization from
irretrievable oierthroW. From that timeon
aard wary appliance has been employed to
bend the party mac hinery hi his tavor, his
sets and talents have been- magnified , his
virtuee extolled and hi: character eulogized;
until nine•tenths of the Itatlical voters bud

took. by which it wa•, effected, or v, ilfully
onceal the Met for sinister purposes That
body, indeed, had no ehoi, e, and could have
made no other it it had. The Grunt meth.
ians had conducted their game with so much
•kill that every delegate went to Chicago
',hedged to his support, and with the firm he-
lief that his ,name alone was of saftici}•n
potence to reqeue the party from its impend
I ng peril
The bPleCtioll of Mr. Colfax Mt the Vice
Presidency; like that of Grant, came more
from nece.city than an honest ilk-4re to place
hint in that position. Mr. Wade was the
tirAt choice of two-tbinh, of the members, but
prudence dictated that a man he taken who
is more in accord with the sympathies of
the tnaisci; Neither of the other names pre-
”ented s6emed to afford the required charac
teristics, and the Convention, after four in
effi,etual balloting~, hastily turned to Mr.
Colfax as the forlorn hope who might or
might not be the man for the emergency.
The Radical leaders sing hosannalis of
praise over the invincibility of their ticket
and strive to make their follower; believe it
has met with the most enthusiastic favor in
parts of the country. The best criterion
by which to Judge of these allegations is the
reception of the nomination in our immedi
ate section. Aside from the feu• managing
men of the party, no person appeared to be
especially interested in the tidings, and even
the soldiers who were expected to - receive
the annouuentent of Grant's name with wlld
expressions uf delight, preserve lite voolest
and most provoking indifference. And as it
is here, so it is in all inifty of dw country.
The manifeAtations of enthusiasm have been
few and Ihr between, stub the most of these
were of a foleed nature. With all the ex-
nityagant, laudation of Gen. Grant, he has

GEN. GRANT AIGOIACIOIIAT4
No fact is better known to the mass of:in
tellig,ent readers . than that when thejtadical
party deserted the planer restoration adop
ted by Presidentaincoln andlohnson, and
a separation ensued between Johnson
and his party, General Giant was in full ac
cord with the President. Ho stood beside
the President when the latter received and
replied to the Committee front the Philadel

electioneering tour to Chicago in the same
veer And when the President removed
Stantoo, General Giant accepted the ~p-pointua

one thought, iu order to facilitate a change.
The testimony of General Grant before the
Impeachment Committee moreover indicates
that he approved :'f the programme of
Messrs. Lincoln and Johnson; and his cele
brates' report upon the condition of the
Southern people, made shortly after. the close
of the war, exhibits a feeling of kindness for
them which is utterly irrecomileable with a
support of the emm.,resainual scheme of De.
structiou.
The question arises, in slew of these
famil
iar circumstances, how it happens that Gen.
Grant has deserted the President in his hour
of extremity, and given Lis adhesion to the
abominable plan of Negro Construction ?
Ibis he deliberately deceived the people for
three years, or has he been corrupted by.dhe
promise of the Radical nomination for„the

President about the removat4 Stanton be

,any of their candidate'. If he has
deliberately deceived the American people
for three long years, and perfidiously be
trayed them at the end of that time, the Rad
icals cannot expect hint to keep better thith
with them than w th,others. If he has. been
corrupted by the promise of office, they nutty
reckon upon his deserting them as soon as he
finds their party losing the poorer to confer
otlice. Their willingness to accept a candi

its their fear and desperation. A year ago
they would have disdained to support -any
less pronounced candidate than Chase, Wade
or one of that stamp. Now, they grasp at

And they do this - in the thee of

The Radicals do not want Grant 'as the

Tuesday being - the day net tor voting, on

Senate was in attendance, and the galleries
were crowde4l with an anxious audience.
The extreme Radicals made several attempts
to postpone the vote, but the motions were
declared out Or order by the Chief Justice,
and his decision sustained by a majority of
the Senate. A ballot was then taken on the
second article, with the sante result as nPnn
the eleventh-3.1 for conviction to 10 against.
The third article met a similar fate, and the
impeachers, seeing themselves foiled at every
point, and filled with wrath, moved for an
adjontoment of the high court rise die, with
out any action on the balance of the articles.
Before taking the vote, the Senate was re
minded by the Chief Justice that in accord.

Government to sustain tho.4e institutions and
to prevent the people of snob States front be
ing remitted to a state 01 anaray.
IL The guaranty by Congress of Equal
Suffrage to all loyal men at the South was
i plemanded by every consideration of public
4 sanity, of gratitude, and of Justice, and must
be maintained ; while the • question of Suf
frage in all the loyal States properly belongs
to the people a thcrie States. ,
111. We denounce alr forms of Repudia

honor require• the payment of the public in
debtedness in the uttermost good faith to all
creditors at 'mule anti abroad, not only ac
cording to the letter but the spirit of the
laws under which it was contracted.

The National Debt, cuntracual, as it has
been, for the preservation of the Union for
all time to come, should he extended over a
fair period for redemption ; and it is the duty
of Congress to reduce the rate of interest
thereon, whenever it can be honestly done.
VI. That the beat policy to diminish our
burden of debt is to so improve our credit
that capitalists will seek to loan us . money at
lower rates of interest than we now pay, and
must continue to pay so long as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened
or suspected.
VII. The Government of the United States
should be administered with the strictest
economy - and the corruptions which have
been so s hamefully nursed anti fostered by
Andrew Johnson cull loudly for radical re

ly and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and
regret the accession to the Presidency of
Andrew Johnson, who has acted treacher
ously to the people who elected him and the
cause he was pledged to support rwho has
usurped high legislative and judicial
functions ; who has refused to execute the
laws; who has used his high office to induce
other officers to ignore and violate the laws ;
who has employed his executive powers to
render insecure the property, the peace, lib
erty anti life, of the citizen ; who has abused
the pardoning power; who has denounced
the National Legislature as unconstitutional;
who has persistently and corruptly resisted,
by every tucans in his power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of the States
lately in rebellion; who has perverted the
public patronage - into an engine of wkolesale
corruption; and who has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemean
ors, and properly pronounced guilty thereof
by the vote of thirty-five Senators.
IX. The doctrine of Great Britain and
other European powers that, because a man
lis once a subject he is always so, must be re
sisted at every hazard by the United States,
as a relic of feudal times, not authorized by
I the laws of nations, and at .war with our
I national honor and independence. Natural

were native-born ; and no citizen of the

1 liable to arrest and imprisonment by any
foreign power for acct, done or words spoken

Tax Democracy of Williamsport, Lycom
ing county, achieved a- grand victory last
week. -Dr.. Logan, Democrat, was elected
mayor by about 300 majority—a gain of near
ly that number, Sharswood's majority last
fall being only 21, The Radical candidate,
Herdic, is the wealthiest man in that section,
but wealth couldn't- win upon that ticeasion

Ting Cincinnatti Commercial's Chicago
telegraphic correspondent, in describing the
contest for Vice-president. says : :•Mr. Wil
son's prohibitory• liquor speeelte4 are being
quoted against him, and have already de
feated hint." Das it come to this, that the
fact of being a temperance man i. sufficient
to cause his defeat in the National Conven

POOR Wade! Repudiated at home, his
State elected n Democratic Legislature which
has chosen Judge Thurman to fill the place
soon to 1w vacated by hiM in the Senate.
Looking to the honors of the Presidency
through the

ment he fails again, and now his party have
refused him the worthleg. boon 'of the second
place upon their ticket, and left hint and his
nothing ambition to a futurc; political ‘,l).
'warily
THE first real life in the Chicago Conven
tion showed itself when the vote nominn•
ting grant was announced. The moment
that the announcement was made a dove,
with feathers painted in red, white and blue,
was thrown out from the galleries and flew
around the hall for some five minutes, when
it strnek the lights in the rear part of the
stage and wits so badly burned that further
flight MO impossible. The dove fa to the
floor somewhat singed, and was in Its col
lapsed condition an omen of the singeing"
that will be zityn the ticket In November.
Am. the able men who in'the palmy du)
of the Republican party were its trusted
leaders - -Seward, Chase, Fremont, Fesseuden,
Trumbull, Charles. Francis Atlanta, Andrew
Johnson—have become ro alienated that they
will probably never act with the party again
A party whirl' has thus lost its brains ha s
outlived its influence. It will for a little
while' exhibit the spasmodic energy of en
epiden.ic fit ; it will be convulsed, it will foam
at tlie mouth, it will dash its head against the
Pavement ; but such activity is tOrmitiable
only to itself, and tends to shorten its days.
ME apparent unanimity of the nomina
tion of General Grant is of no politieal signifi
cance. Clay- wa.s nominated by acclamation,
and with the .same unanimity by the Whig
Convention in SU, while the- Democratic
Convention of the same year came together
with as much doubt as to a candidate it mail
mark the opening proceedings of the
vention this year. • Yet when Polk was
nominated the party was thoroughly and
enthnsiastically in accord, and the candidate
was triumphantly elected. Fur a later in
stance, it was hardly passible for any Con
vention to assemble with more candidates be
fore it than the Democratic Convßition of
Itt.W. But when Pierce was nominated
against Scott, the conqueror of Mexice,stritere
was "unanimity" enough to enable him to
carry every Statu in the Union, excepting
four.
IT im admitted tin alr !lands that the Chica
go Convention was a ntost corrupt body, and
that delegates to h sold their votes as a Inst.-
ketable connuodity. The Chicago corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, a Re
publican paper, thus speaks of it :
"There never was such direct and undis
guised bargain and sale of votes in a conven
tion as is going on here to-night in the inter
estof Governor Fenton. As much as $5OO
is openly offered for influential votes in the
Sonthern delegations. Fenton 'has already
bought up Louisiana, and is bidding for Vir
ginia, Alabama, South earnliun and Georgia.
The Louisiana delegation cost $1,500. In
reply to a charge of corrupt use of money,
one Of Fenton's friends said, to-nlilit, that
the Southern delegates were poor men, and
the money was given to them, not to pay for
their votes, but to reimburse them for their
traveling expenses. The fight seems to be
between Fentuit's money, and Wade's promi 7
ses of office under the contingency of Im
peachment.
