Buch nc- tion, tho President says, Is domanded by him and the country, Failuro o tako it wil bo o vio- lation of solemn plodgos. Thomossage is ono of the most hopotul things that hos come ouv of the turmoil in France, It is an utteranco from a head, which we wore beginning to fonr Mar- shol MacMahon hLad not olthor for his own sorvico or his country's.

That soma'of those who fought against the Union' should advoeato ropudiation would mnot surpriso us; but that a man like Col.

Among tho reasons givon for this opinion, Gen.

Ho arguos that Grant could not bo electod on. his financial platform, to which ho thinke tho poople of tho Bouth and West ara bittorly opposed, and then with strango inconsistoncy he advocatos tha nomination of Benator Thurman ps the Domo- cratic candidato, whoso election ho thinks would bocortaln.
