Show THE PHILADELPHIA CON- VENTION. I1 To-morrow tlio r'iilar IU 't-ubtioin : t convention rucots in Philadelphia, ami, tho political intercut whVh l'ur a )';w j weeks past hfw centred on (Jrcelcy. and Brown will bo trann!mcd in a I , largo measure to lite I'hilr.'l'.ilj.hu i nominee. Morn p:irlicalai!j will tlii-, be the ca.se should a stnndn id- j bearer tor the piirty olh-r ih in 1V.4 t ilcnl Grant, be select f J. U'J' such i. ! hardly lile.y. L'nle il... .kK'm1- from sowo thirty Stato, who :ivo in-1 .structed to vote for fioiici'nl (IraiH, should act iu defiance of ihoje i-truc tiona, in obedience to somo move by tho leaders to wuo n:k tl.u "ivailci-iratiU," "ivailci-iratiU," the nomination of Grant is fixed in advance. Still, evidently Sumner yet hope that anno other candidate will secure tho nomination, for in hia tierce attack on the President, Presi-dent, in tho senate Iat Kridny, ho intimated in-timated that ho waited in suspense, hoping the Philadelphia convention would mako another nomination than tho ono expected. In the event of Grant being the choice, there ia cvi dently nothing Sumner can do but fall into lino with tho Creole j? men or remain re-main neutral. Should he .support Grcoloy it would have a strong influence with tho colored voters, tor no man in the country has labored nioro earnestly nor moro powerfully for thorn than Charles Sumnor; and to suppoao that hid oourso in tho Presidential Presi-dential campaign will not influence them is to suppose them aiVo devoid of intelligence and gratitude. It ia not so olear who will., be tho nominee for Vicc-Pre&iJent, Colfax I stock is up iu tho market, and the in- I dications are that ho will be tho man, making the It a publican ticket the same as in 1 80S, Still, tbero will bo a warm contest for the nomination, and it id possible that Wilson or Blaino will got it. That tho platform will be so constructed as to reach, all iho salient sali-ent points of tho Cincinnati one, no person can doubl. In fact in all these documents thoro ii a wonderful similarity. simi-larity. Their trainers are always patriots pa-triots of tho puredt principle?, and men of such wisdom that tho country can only escapo ruin by following their lead. The Cincinnati men were over-flowioK over-flowioK with their anxiety to pave the country. The Philadolpoia men will tell how they have- saved it, and how it will go to the dogs with astonishing velocity unlotw they oonnnue to tave ; it. Then will como the .UiUij:;irc pa triots who will aUrtlo the country with - a dccrnration that it.-nT-.s ; .r,!T. L, l'.i'u in fact decomposition largely f-ot in, and nolhins but Deuice.atic brine, .nalt pet rc and molasai'3 uiil bo of any 110 to it. While following .hem uiil be hundrech of other patriotic soiii.-s who will si ill point out the i-recU-e spot-a from which piiheu'o'ition is spreading, and declare that they alone possess the sovereign remedy. Yea ' tho platform will be an outpourbg of patriotic fervor and roxwl party prin- l j oiplcs. Tho Republican pres. will cu- Iorizo it as a most nicnorable paper, while the uppOMiio:. pivs will tear it to hrcda, ;iad show how dishonesty permeates it, or lu;.i it is an embodiment embodi-ment of false and dungcrous theories. To morrow, thou, the National Republican Re-publican convention will meet, and in a very short time the country will know whether President Grant is tho choico of the party leaders. Wo havo little doubt he will bo tho man. |
