Suppose that contrary to the wish of ECiLe i f the leading Radieal Bhck Bepuhjicans, who want the office themselves, General Grant should be tcminated for the presidency by the Republican party, what course ought the Democrats party to pursuer Gti-'jli' ice to homi a a a m "i in e-pposi-lien to General Grant?

Grant with the Republican party, are opposing a vtrccg presumption by the thinnest ced feeblest of shadowy inferences. Gen. Grant, to be sure, favors the execution of the Reconstruction Acts, but so also does President Johnson. As they do not differ cc this point, they probably differ On nfT.ft whifh k llrtinonf tho rvrsenr nositin iA ofTao i..c,.Tnnonn -,n.,i.i j i r .

The fact that the Tribune and ether Republican journals obiect to uenerai wrant that ne nas sever signified his assent to their principles, deserves notice and consideration.

The Tribune is clamorous to have General Gram show h;9 colore and take side? in the party sqaabbles of the day. We rejoice that there is one man in the country tcho is above iliA necessity of such belittling partizanship. We trust that General Grant I07es his whole country; that he desires t lie good of all its citizens, without" regard to any dividing lines whether they be lines of party, or section, or race, or color. It is the noblest reward of treat services like his, that it exalts the character to this high level; that it enables a man to act nobly without apviearir, to be rretent;ous. General Grant is under a moral necessity of respecting the reat rerrown of his ,ast services. It is beneath him to ntav anv common art in vulgar poli- - . rr. . 1 I tics. The Presidency can be nothing to him: he has a more valuable office. fiut ifjin th hinds of Pre ,u!d be an instrument f r rovtdence.

Our torn, lacerated, exasperated country needs soothing. needs pacuication, uecis on ou th' troubled" waters, which still toss nnd dash after the recent tempest. wcuiU no more nave en. uraut bo'.-i'iiie a party politician than, if we j hud lived in Vv'yshinctou's time, we ' would have wished hiui to give :a rt-tu.'D i-artv blow?.- As Wa-hinsiton Eali I p. Ti e New York Herld knows what is coming. Looking over the political field, it declares that " the rail-splitter and the tailor were a powerful team, but the tanner and the editor will match them." Here is what it says of them : - " Tn II. S. Grant, the General-in-affairs of a peace establishment he possesses those rare endowments of practical statesmanship which qualify him for all the responsibilities of the Executive head ot the Government in any emergency. It is the general impression among the American people, that in his hands their interests and the honor and prosperity of the country will be safe. . Ills associate, Speaker Colfax, for one of his age, is a man of great experience and superior abilities and ! sagaciy in our political affairs, and I in the event of a call to the white ; , iM . 1 t . n ! uu i,Je .upne" -erui ministration. .ur is me uuitering reputation of these men limited to the United States, for it is substantially the same abroad as at home. The news of their nomination will strengthen the confidence ,of the friends in "the great Republic" over all-the world on the Thames, the Seine, the j Rhine, the Neva and the Danube, and from the mighty Amazon, roll ing its flood of waters down the equatorial line, to the imperial Yang-tse-Kiang of China, " the son of the sea." Nor will the honest faith in American securities at Frankfort-on theMain be weakened with the prospect of the transfer from and after the 4th of March, 1SG9,- of the reings of our Government to Grant and Colfax.
