It haa put dcncral (Jrant In nomination for l'rcidnt, and Sobuy Icr C)llax fur Vico rrctident, and haa adopted a platloio which unoueaiionahly baa the tuerit whatever eio may be aaid of it of tubodjirijr tho tpinioni and aentimcnia of a very lare majority of tho llepublicun party thiouhout tho I United State.

The ticket, aa a whole, ia not a atrong one, Iccaune, at a timo when the conservative aentiuient of the country ia diaaat ii-fivd and shocked by recent party violence, It courts the aupport of nobody but ltudieala.

Mr. Colfax haa the merit of being an extreme and conaiatcnt partisan. In hia recent rulings in tho Houmo he has gone to the very verge of partiality, allowing the.rudeat and most personal things to he aaid by hia own party, and often checking every manly utterance learing agoinet hia own party, when poken by the Dem ocralio me m bora of tbo llouao. INDEPENDENT. From tbo Now York run. , - - Gen. Grant ia not a politician, hut a patriot, liver aince the downfall of the rebellion, he hua been auxioua for the carlieat potrdble restoration of the insurgent Ntalca to their former relations to the Union. Ho bna deprecated tho quarrel between the lixccutive and Legion, live departmenta of the Government, which havo tended to retard thia wor, whilo on hia part he haa laboicd afsiduouly to bring it to a auccrssful and barmonicua cloe. In tbia bo haa exhibited the hturliiig juulities of a wiae and Mem! atatcaman. if ho should be elected to tbo FreoiJcncy, all imparl! il and unprejudiced men, whether ltudieala or Con aeivativea. and whuther dwelling at the North or the South, wouli ft el that the Union and the Cotiatitulioii wcro sufo in bia hunda. In thua viewing hia nomination limn our indcpviidcut ftandpoint, wo do not regard (Jen. Grant aa a partisan, nor aa tho candtdato of a political party. And in bcatowing commendation upon him, wo rcaerve to ourrelves the privilege of dealing aa fairly and impartially by the nominee of tho Hcmocrticy ss by him. The organ and champion of neither parly, wo hall apeak freely of each according to its merits, and hold the balanco with even justice between the two during the exciting canvaM upon which tho country U now entering.

The Republican patty, through Ita grand Sai.btdiiin or Council of War si Chicago, having chosen its standard hearers, and having agreed upon ita plan of operation, it is ndw fairly in tho field for tbo I'reai dculial campaign. With a general eutliuoiaam and confidence in bia popular Micngth never suipuoacd iu any party Convention over any other name, General Grant aianda proclaimed iho unauimuua nomination of tho lleputlicuna for 1'itcidciit. ,We can only aay that thia candidate is Hrongcr than hia putty, and that party, aciiou'l) weakened in cotiMquenco of its rudicat excohaea, tili conlideully reliea upon hi atrength. For Vice Fienident Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, Speaker of the Houe of Ueprehentiitives, has cnricd off the piize. J ho failure of the eleventh article of the impvai luoeuW waa the failure of "Old lieu Wade." With Andrew Johnson' romovul, and with ' Old Hen" in the White Houxu, he would havo been master of the situation at Chicago for tho hecond place on tbo ticket. Colfax, a man of larger abilities, and hro.idcr and moro liberal ideas, is one of tho most promiaing and popular men of bia party. Fenton ia a luilurc, and was wianly overalaughcd.

anxiety with which ita action was awaited has Icon disarmed. Tho didicultios which seemed to throng about Itat the beginning, have been surmounted. Tho newly raised hopes of Iho opposition, excited by tho !roapect of dolcction and divivion, havo cen disappointed. Tho Convention hsa been inspired throughout with unity and wiadom worthy of the orcavlon nd of the great results to which it looks forwurd. lly its nomination and its principles, it hna alike commended ita action to the approbation of the country, and haa anticipated the triumphant rcuponso that will be modo to thetu. Uarjland. nr.ri:iil.rAN. from tho Daltlmoro Amalean. lVihapa the epithet of honest before tho name of tho lamented Lincoln had it much to do with hia re election aa any other cauao. Men knew that, whatever might happen, he at least would he true to plinclple and to justice. With equal unanimity and confidence they now turn to General Grant. He haa become the idol of the popular heart. In hia hands the people are willing to place power, and they expect to aeo him auriound himnelf with a coterie of atatesnen who shall equal the reputations of hia Generals. In tho nomination of Hon. Schuyler Colfax for Vice l'lUMilent, though some persons! preferences may have been disappointed, there can be no hesitancy in expreaaing the approval of the party for which the Corjventioo acted. No man in the wholo ltepublican party haa more personal populatily lluu Mr, Colfax, and none better . nreervee it. Ilia whole political record is without a flaw. Iowa. REPUBLICAN. From tho Kookuk UataCit.' - Gloiy enough for one day. The Convention at Chicago has dono gloiious work. It hsa nominated the ticket that every L'cpublicau in the country wiahed in his heart of hourta could be nominated, without dming to hope lhat it would be. Grant and Co I I'm I Tho two strongest men in the nation. The two men that have most of the publio love and most of the public confidence. I'atriotism, honesty, the greatest military talent, and the greatest adinini-lriitivo talent in tbo Government go to the fuake up of the ltepublican ticket. It ti the people's ticket, the laboring men's ticket, the aoldier'a ticket, tho whole nation ticket, and will be overwhelmingly elected. WfitXYirglDlft. . e II KI l' UM ('A.N. From tbo Wheeling Iu'.aIlljrYor. . The Convention could not porsilly hate done belter. We do not tco hew it could have done so well. For once, we may say that abaolutely tho leal men have been aelecled a thing that rarely happens iu a political convention. Aa to the platform, it will bo seen that it cuibrucea tlio atrongcat and iliatinctive planks upon which the great Union party of tho country, in and out of Congreaa, have stood aitico the end of the rebellion. It is safe and strong and broud, one that every honcat and loyal mau can stand on. Mlchlg.m. iUri'IJMCAN. From tho Dttrclt Trlbuno. ' The nomination of Grant and Colfax Is received with entbusiaam by the Republicans of Michigan, The universal expression is that a stronger ticket could not poaaibly have been presented to the people. Tho two combined constitute a ticket thut grutiliea every Republican, sends a premonitory chill of j olilicul diasolution into every Hctuocratio bosom, and is iuviucible. DEMOCRATIC. From tho Detroit Fr. Pi.m. Tbo Convention evidently thought that, having Grant lor a standard bearer, it could run under aa black a Qag a it choae, and it did not heaitute to intuit the men whom it yet expects lo vote ita ticket. It kuowa Grant lo bo a man of putty. It bus no foar of not being able to control him. Aa was suggested iu the Convention ilaclf, tbeio will bo no lucecaity for hia aaaabainulion, and to guaid against tho ordinary contingencies of lifo and death they have not tun the lisk of a Tyler, a Fillmore or a Johnson. Tho platloiiu ia Hadieul in the extremely more thin, dis guiacd than uual, and that only in mst ters v the pureat dcumgoguery. It is sec tional in ita cundidulea and sectional and paitial in ita platform, and evinces throughout the piocccdtng in Chicago its recklcfeniicss and its ullruiaiu. Connt ctlcut. IIKI'LOLICAN. From the. Now Harm l'lllnJluiu. The Chicago Convention has performed ita task wiauly. Tho nomination of (Jrant having been already made by tho people, it only remained for tho delegutca to formally ratify the unanimous choico of the party, and to give our leader a worthy companion on the ticket. Of the names preaented to the Convention, none ia more justly popular than that of Schuyler Collux. The platform is in every reaped aatiafuotory, and well reprcaenta the principles of the ltepublican party. District of Columbia. lir.riHLICAN. From tho Waiblngtoa Chronl.U. (j runt's nomination is pre eminently a nomination by the people mado long be fore the members ot tho Convention were elected. ' It was but a compliance with custom that the form of a conventional nomination was had at all. It is the harbinger ot Republican harmony and Ue publican aucceas. , Colfux's eminent fitness for tho special duties of tho position he haa abundantly demonatrated as Speaker of tho House of KeprcaeDtativo, while his enlarged statesmanship admirably prepares him to exert the mot wholesome influence upon publio a Hairs in the intermediate position between the Exocutive and LegUlativo de

II C E M K N T 0 F THE LAWS. partmenta of the Government which the Constitution assigns him, Thero ia everything in both our candidates to inspire tho highest enthusiasm ah'J insure tho heartiest and most harmonious co-operation. To say tbia ia to aay that our ticket is one of irresistible atrength. It is like our principles, invincible, and destined to a sure and glorioua triumph. From the Wsiblofton lUpulllcsm We place at the head of our columns thia morning tho name of Ulysses S. Grsnt for rrcaidont, and that of Schuyler Colfax for Vico President. In' doing thia we fiel that wo are serving our country in this hour belter than we could poaaibly do iu any other way, " ' k ) DEMOCRATIC. ' From tbo National lotolllgoncsr. If there had not been adopted at Chicago a rcaolulion by which the seven Republican Senators who voted against impeachment were in eflVct proscribe by the sinlater resolution approving the course of the thirty five who voted lor it," the nominationa ihemaelvra alone decree war and death to Chief Justice Chose and tho lev en Senators icferrcd to. A feature of the action at Chicago can not eacape condemnation. It ia in that which announces the shameful fact that neither the South, nor the Kna, nor the Middle States, nor the 1'aciGo Hlupe were considered worthy by the programme of tho dictatorial control in tho premises to be good and true ground enough for a selection of a cundidate either lor l'tcsidentor Vice l'rcaident. Roth General Grant and Mr. Colfax might aa well have, in the fitness of things, beeti selected Irom a single city of the Noithwest. as from their contiguous homes or our ncighboihot d. It ia disgrsceful that great sections of the Uniou have been thus tabooed and proacribed. The columns of the Intelligenter have long borne 'witness to the limited capueitiea and abilities of the nominees. The double dealing, shifting and burrowing of General Grant, added to some wanton acts of open wrong on his pait, run well in the line of partisan bittcrneaa with that course of Mr. Colfax aa Speaker, which has scarce ever pretermitted an opportunity to aid and abet wrong by countenancing parliamentary expedients to oppress tho lectio tuiuority in that body. Kisionrl. RETCDLICAN. From IhtSt.Loutf Daiooerat. It is a Western ticket in one ttense. and yet it ia not. Grant ia tot the candidate of any section. Living former ly iu the West; Ihe movement for his nomination originated rather in the Fast than the West, and as no section can claim the exclusive honor of his nomination, so none can claim him as its own bv residence. He belongs to ihe country. Vhe whole country claims him the regenerated South and the victorious North, the mature Fast and growing Wett. To all he is endeared ly the same matchless services for our common nationality, and recommended by his devotion to ffinctplcs equally held dear by all. Mr. Colfax, on tho other bond, though a Western man, was not the first choice of the majority of delegates from the Northwest, and was nominated in effect by the preference ol the Eastern Republicans. His popularity at tho Ksst sa well sa in hia own State, and on the shores of the Pacific, gives reason to believe thut in either section he will he found the strongest candidate that could have been selected. Jl long and faithful labor can ever deserve reword, Mr. Colfax has indeed peculiar claima for promotion. We think the ticket a very alror.g one. It will eomu and in the Fast a stronger general support than tho nomination ol'Sny Kastern candidate could have done; it will sweep the West and South, and the Pacific States. Taken with the solid Radical platform ao unanimously adopted it places the party on the smooth rond to a decMve victory in November. DKMOCnATIC. From tho St. Louli 11 quill lean. The great and gratifying feature of the Ilcpublicin Convention at Chicigo is ihn defeat of ultraism in its most audacious form. That negro auffiage ia atill tho aim of Ihe majority of the Radical p arty, and that this n.sjoiity is still inclined lo any la wleaa proceeding, and especially to the removal of ti e Pie ident, we do not doubt; but these tendencies have loat tho prestige of being the acknowledged and leading ideas of the Republican parly itaolf. The tthnme fund politicians aro the ones who in every respect now dictato tho law of their party. What they really think, and what they earnestly deairo to be done, may be tho exnet oppoito of what their party forces them to profeas. Certain it is that the defiant policy of the Radicola ia at an end, and that they will nov try lo conquer hy hypocriay what they were unable to secure by their former audacity. Their whole platform is a rctirat. They well know that if it ia impoaaible to force negro suffrage upon the Stotes of the North, lho.e very States can never, without destroying the whole principle of our Gov. eminent, permit it to be introduced in the South. And yet the cowardly Radicals took precisely that position. Thinking only of ihe maintenance of their pnty in power, they hoped by thia hypocritical course to retain the favor of their newlymade colored Radicals in the South, and to regain tho fvor of their old partisan friends in the North. The impeachment parugraph bears tho same hypocritical character. Pennsylvania. REPCBUOA.. From tho Phllaila'phU Pron. Iu the spontaneous and hearty nomination of Gen. Grant, the Convention at Chicago but registered with the requisite formalities tho will of the people, determined on nearly a year ago, and already declared through tttir national mouthpiece and immediate representative the press of

They have not at tained position by doubtful expedients, by sriful concealments, or by slimy intrigues, but their Juat honors were fairly won by an unfaltering and faithful discharge cf srduous duties. - ' From tbo rblaJolkla Tost, . Grant and Colfax! These ara.namea which will call out tho enthusiasm of the people, itid make victory In November a certainty. The Republican tleket bas all the elements of popularity, and it would have been Impossible for the Convention to have chosen better, lesders. , Grant represents the war for the Union', the triumph over treason, the irrevokable resolution of the North that rebellion shall hereafter Is iruposaible.' ' " ' Schuyler Colfax reprercnti the wisdom of the Republican party, and thoso grand principles of tqual rights upon which it haa based its measurea of Reconstruction. Iii nomination is an additional assurance to Radical Republicans lhat the next adminlstrstion will deal rightly with those great issues, which the close of the war opened. . From tho rtilaJctphla Bolletlo. The name of Grant becomes once more the harbinger of victory, aud gives new aa aurance that the glorious fruits ofJbe con quest won by the blood and treasure of loy al iifeo shall not be bartered awsy by a reckless President, though backed by Sena torial renegades and ambitious judges. It is a day to be remembered. ' From tbo Lancaster Exproti. The bold, aggrcssslve front at once assumed by the Republicans haa already won half the battle. Of the men who will lead ua to victory, we can say nothing to-day with which our readers are not already acquainted. Grant, the Crusher of Rebellion, and Colfax, the brilliant and accomplished statesman, comptiso a ticket that at ODce asrutea succest' and commands the respect of all parties. From iho PUtilnrgChroDlolo ' N The nation has but fairly reached ita manhood, purified and strengthened by the dingers through which it hss come; and Grant and Colfax, the former born in 1822, the latter iu 1823, their characters solidi fled by the highest physical and intellect usl conflicts and triumphs, and being io the very primo of their vigor and usefulness, aro adapted, by all their to oit conspicuous traits, to the great work of lead ing the nation onward in its proud career. And they will lead ir, beyond all the contingencies that aro likely to arise botwecn now and November next. From tho t'ittibiirg Ccmmorelal. Everywhere throughout the country, the nominations of Grant and Colfax are re ceived w ith the strongest marka of approval. Universal satiafaction is expressed by tho Ilepublicsnpr ess, and msny Democratic journals have been candid enough to admit that the ticket ti a strong. one. Those opposition editors, who, st the bebest of party, are compelled to write what they do not believe, of courso assail both candidates; and aome make aorry altempta to ridicule them. The more independent and intelligent, however, who have some little regard fur themselves, and for the good sense of their resJcrs, refrain from the folly of heapiug abuse upon the great, est General of the nation, as well aa one of ihe best and purest of our statesmen. DEMOCRATIC. From the PliHa.l tbla Ago. We shall be aa ready sa any Radical to recognise the military servieos of General Grant. Not, however, with the monatrous exaggeration that ascribea to hia single merit all tho successes of the war, and forgets the gullsnt men who were with him, or who elaewhere won signal honors under circumstances more difficult and discouraging than he had to encounter. 01 settled political principle, Grant haa none at all. He is taUuliv about horses, and like topica; but on the great subjects that occupy the minds of thinking men, he has always been mute. It is not thst he is reacrved. for he keepa back nothing; it i, that he really has nothing to ssy. Chlo. hepubmcan. From lbs Toledo lilacs.
