But as, from timo to timo, tho ‘harizon clenrs, and existing parties or large com- blnations oro scon in formation or in intrenched cnmp, tho insignificanco of a Ainglo man and s oateris beoomes apparent. Almost overy Presi- dont hias baen deluded by a fow supersorviceablo or cunning followers or chums to boliovo that #is prospects for re-election aro tho best. THE DUPED.

Whore the President’s common sonso did not deoldo the question, Providence someiimes ap- peared, 'Tho tradition that eight yoars is the limit of tho bost Mogistrates is settled and inheront in tho Awmerican character, and nothing Lut uni- versal fright and apprebeusion, suck s tho Frouch bourgeolsio had of Socialism when they unyittiogly accoptod tho Empire, could induce auy oconsiderable body of Amoricans to give suy minn threo torms. . In tho cnso of Prosident Grant, the public mind is under no illusion, Our pulic as yet does tomporately boat. ' In tho viow of n con- siderable number of people, ho ia & modest, sufforing, solicitous man, put in srduous civil administration, and successful there boyond ex- pectation, less by any statesmauehip thrn by his stability, which generally londs bim totake no ac- tion till ko bag pondered wall, and, before o hag como to suy conolusion, the iaiia hus wottled itsolf.

It is not a quality which millions of mon sdmire, In & rapid, minly, confident country lika ours, it is forolgn to out gonius ; and, at this wmomont, bundreds of thousands of 'voters, glud that things are no worse, roproach themselvos Tor the guessing, halting, and unenlivening Btate of tho National Administration, which s unsblo to givo its reasons for doiug right, ond votoes radical errora without either indiguation or con- ictions. Tho long and ofton low-pitchied per- wonnl_warfare op non-estentinls around tho President bas at times stimulated o veaclion, which his coterio haston to interprot as his popu- tarlty, bub which is moro properly sympathy for hin oies aud his diffidencain it, and rebuke of moro witloss dotraction THE UNLIMDERED, Thero is another class of people who become suporstitious at succers, and, seelng Grant twico elooted, jump Lo tho conclusion thot Lo must always continue to be.
