The State Convention.
We Print in another column a concise re
port of the doings of the Republican: State
Convention'held at Harrisburg on the:7loth
in§tant. We feel greatly.at a loss to know
d what. to say,'Or how Properly 'to' ;4 atiy
thing of the proceedings of that body. We
find no fault with the platform as embodied
in the resolutions adopted—as a whole :they
are excellent. We
. find - no fault the
gentlemen who were 'nominated for the sev
eral oflices to be filled - at the October, elec
tion. But we do and fault, and as we think
with great reason, with the Convention
self and with somerof its action. Having
said this of the Conv,entlen, what can be
adequately said of the clique who manipu
lated it, and at whose beck so, many of the
delegates surrendered not their individuality.
only but their manhood ? On that point
silence is the only charitable comment.
As for Tioga county and the whole north,
(save, perhaps, two counties) where the ma
jority to elect the ticket mast be found, the
least that can be said is that we were ignor
ed. But that word is a weak one by which
to chareeteriie our treatment at Harrisburg . .

ALe congratulate Judge, Williams- upon his
defeat before the Qonve»tion. But the in

We may remark in Massing that Mr. Wilkes

istittelon, and the party; Beecher's,
-host Teta; We condnend it to•the thought
pertistil of every Voter: •
•
-Gen. 'Grant-was called to the' office which
fie now holds, not through any solicitationa
of his otrn,' or , management of political
friends, but by the wish of the voters through
out Ihort North. .Is there any. evidence that
the great body of intelligent citizens regret
their, label* and are disposed to put some
other man in his place? That there his
been much fault found; that many thoughtr
ful hien have severalycriticiaed the real or
supposed deficiencies of his Administration;
that many able newspapers have contested
the wisdom of re-electing Gen: Grant, is
true. But is there 'any evidence that he has
lost the confidence of the grqt body of Re
publican voters, throughout .the North? or
that,' taken as d, whole, they are dissatisfied
with,the result pf the past three years? It
is our belief .thet when the people come to
the .very businer of selecting the candidate
for the next P sidential term, the more
they reflect upon itrtho,•more they will be
inclined to re-nomluate andre-eleot General
Grant.
_ .
Wberi he was originally selected, it was
Without any guises or false pretenses on his
part. His education had been for the army,
and his great achievements were military.
Every one knew that he, had been without
experience in political•afrairs. Indeed, tha
very fact weighed with many. They h d
the impression that a better President could
be made out of a President who was u -
hackneyed in politics, and who should bring
19 the office good sense and impartiality, net
warped or biased by the intrigues of party
politicians. , • •
if When Glint assumed the reins of gotr
ernixtent, he .was under the delusion ti
politics had nothing to do with governing,
that a man without experience in civil aft
ministration was mere likely to be skillful
and honest than one who had been educated
to the . conduct of public affairs, he only e r
ed as tens of thousands erred. And if, n
the early, period of his Administration, e
attempted to carry on the Goverianetit by a
Cabinet staff, as he would conduct an army
in the field, he only did what he was expect
ted to do.. • The result of the ,experiment
was what Might have been foretold. He
was 'not a Cromwell, But the faults of
Grant's / early seleation of advisers arose
from' an attempt to fulfill public expectation
and bring into his counsel • men not Much
versed-in politics. - Yet, in spite of the vice
of this principle of selection, his. Cabinet
,iuis been, in . the , main - excellent. The De
partmente,of State. does not suffer in con
trfist with the more showy, but not more
wise, administration of Seward. The Trea
sury bas nothing to fear in a comparison
with the great Treasurer under Mr. Lincoln.
There - will not be two such War Secretaries
as Mr. Stanton in the same age; but ; happi
ly, peace bus required other service than
that which has rendered Stanton's name for
ever illustrious, and the Department has
been wisely re-adjusted to the gauge of
peace. 'The field for brilliant service open
to the other members of.the Cabinet has not
been great. • Mit It is certain thathereafter,
when- men look back dispassionately; they
.will regard Gen. Grant's Cabinet as one em
inently practical, wise, and safe. •
**. 5 * *
I General Grant has learned much, and has
suffered much in learning. We appreciate
the just criticisms , ivhich ,hare been made
upon him. We are not his indiscriminate
eulogists. We have marked his faults and
we
• clearly perceive' his deficiencies. But
in what other man will be found all excel
lencies and no fatilts? Where' an we And
a combination of qualities which have upon
trial produced, 'on the *hole, better results?
Re is ler better fitted to-day to exercise the
ExedutiVeranctions than he Was when, he
was enthusiastically ' selected. If he is a
slow scholar, be is a scholar who retains
all that he learns. It may be a pity that
, the Administration men, par excellence, in
Congress, have among them'so many that
are not.models of virtue. But • a President
must employ these who will be employed.
He cannot ga upon his, knees to imperious
Senators. The people have made President
higher than Senator. It is for public men
who are truly patriotic to place their coun
eel and infiuence . with the Executive upon
terms which he can accept with self-respect.
If . they, are cold; arrogant, divisive, it is not
for them to complain that the President
passes by then' to men who are practical,
and who help by, cordial sympathy rather
than by moral lectures.
Gen. Grant has not failed in any pledges
made by. the Republican party in his be
half. The party itself haS been cumbered
by practical difficulties as great as ever were
accumulatedapon a pOlitical party. If in
.some. directions less, . in ;.other directions
Vmete has been
,tiecomplished. than wag 'ex
cted. Kep4rty ever goes, into power with
the - gift,of prophecy. New, events change
1116 - CoMplexion of a party's purposes, and it
must. conform to the requirements of facts.
The enthnsitistri of 1872 is not the poPillar
enthusiasm of;lBBB,Tand a party may be tru
er to its-principles by not following . out its
original course than by a rigid adhesion to it.
IloW; not seeking to justify every neglect,
or every performance, but applying, to the
Reptiblican party those allowances and
these tests which just men apply to all hu
-4111111 potions, we firmly believe that, under
:Gen. GrAnca, Administretion, the Republi
lan party has eondtuited the country thro a
a period of re-settlement almost as perPlex
ing as was the period of' war, and with a
discretion and success, which are not , un•
-worthy of the reputation achieved by lit in
the stormy days of civil :convulsions. Du
