I, then, usago sanctions it, and the Conatitu- #ia doca not probibit t, why should Gon, Grant bavut asido for anothor now and untried man, udess thero are good aud suflicient roasons for i chango? Tho Rt:rubhcnnu do not seom to tink that Grant has dono anything sinco ho bo- efno Presidont to warrnut his being throst asida the end of a socond torm ; for the Adminis- :?mun ia boing indorsod by all the Ropublican anvontions tint have beon hold {n iho States, Wilst tho feeling in thoranks of the Democracy, Jorth, South, Euat, and Weat, ia far moro favor. + #lo to Gon, Grant than any mua spoken of onuoction with tho P’residancy, in ofther party. this arises from tho fact thaf, in the mind of tio margos, Prosident Grant haa secured o Jodg- tont, which is tho legitimate result of tho drongest confidonea In his grent patriotism nnd fonasty of burpose, ad algo in his couruge nud goat firmnogs in earrying out to their logical wuclusions the results of his own Judgment on Wl great questions of publie polity ; and 1o act >f hia has had moro to do m brivging about this stato of feoling in the public mind than his Jispouition of the tinancinl question during the ato soesion of Congross. It woro worse thau folly to dony that Gon. frant's voto of tho financial bill, iu the lnst ses- tion of Congress, attracted to him hundreds of thousands of good and truo men all over tho ¢ountry, whosa henrts swolled with gratituda to bim for tho courago Lo displayed on that quoa- Hou ; who paw, nud still seo, in tho man that ho I8 oqusl o nny occasion that may oocur, whore patriotism aud pluck aro required, —qualition that alwoys commeud thomselves to the avarago American mwd with terriblo emphasis, Buch men soo and fool that it will bo safe to vonflde in Dresident Grant iu. future for tho propor solution und dofinito settloment of very mauy questions of the highest momont to thy ipeaca prosperity, and happiness of the counts that must tind solution and eottiement within itha noxt Prosidential torm, and this fact makea ihis namo moro acceptabld to the massos thun €hat of any other man in the nation, North, a4 weil a South, this foeling obtains, 1 Emor, for [ hnvo rosided long onough in both ecotions to kuow that such iu the fuct, Without going farther in this lino of Argu- mout, for I decm it unnecessary to my presont purposa, whicl i to provo, if I can, that, In my udgmont, it will becoma a necessity, —yoa, an mporativo necessity,—to run Gen.

It wore aa easy taak to mn]fipl{:caaon'a ad Enfluitum, why Gen. Grant should be elocted for & third tormn ;" but I will content myself, on thia ncxznniun, with the enumeration of the following, viz.

Tho Committes, consist- ing of three gontlomon, threo from tha shuroh and threo from tho socioty, are unanimous in this vordrot of acquitial.’ Tho Committeo had Lold twouty-olght “wessions, and appoar to havo Leon vory thorough, painstaking, and Impartial In their troatment of the csso—none tho loss o, it strikes us, bocauso composed aud ercatoll ag the Committeo nocessarily was., Thoir roport, rond at the Plymonth Ohurch mooting Friday evening last, made the meeting a memorable one, Moulton was thoro—on hiond now, howevor ab- sentand bard fo be found and heard from at othor times. Tho exhibit ho madoof himself upon thnt occasion, furious, and raving like a madman, a4 also his natural demonstrations bince, would soem ouough to disabugs any but the most projudicod. The “mutual friond " is now &sid to avow Urpose to crush Becchor and tho Plymonth Church, Ilo bas plainly & hard task bafore him, Hia wholo conduct throws back a flood of light upon bin past earcor in this matter, and shows 5o unmistakably the animus by which bie has boon ruled and directod, it i only amay- ing that any respoctablo porson could be found who will_givo Lim eredonco. Of courso ho and tho man ho has songht to sereen t the ©xponas of dostroying othersare capablo, as it is in their nnture, of muking & deal of spitoful nolse—and thoy will do so. #rom ths Chicago Advance, Mr. Booohor has reason to feel grateful to his Committeo and to his church for their unmni- moua and most onthusiestio vordiot of acqulttal of all the *“rumors, insinuations or olinrges brought against him. The affectionato loyalty of Piymouth Church to their pastoris in mnn respocts tonchingly beautiful. “Thoro are thoso who will ba coufirmed by it in their feoling of Mr. Boechor's entiro innoconce, It is, mocover, a mattor for common gratulution to Chriatiang When any ono of God's childron emorges from a cloud of misroprosontation and_cruol suspicion, and comes forth into tha swoet light of proven intogrity. For this renson it fs grontly te ho rotted that Mr. Becchor'a Court of Inquiry should have boon crentod just as it was, and b trinl in somo rospocts conducted just as it Lisa beon, inovitably cxposing its findings to considerablo popular dis- trust, on the ground that the trisl has boon ex- pacte, irogular, and incomploto.

C. Bowew's namo has beon mixed in tho matter, Ho it was, it in statod, who roported certain things to My, Tilton aud prompted him to writo 8 cortain lottor to BIr. Boccher, And yot Mr, Bowoen, strangely as it looks to the public, has not even been invited to give ovidenco befors the Com- mittee. Why thus is so ehould at loast havo been suitably oxplained. . . . And it wos still furthor unfortunate, for the appearance of candor, that oven Mr. Moulton, o momber of the Plymouth Socioty, which was roprosonted by one-Linif of the Committes, was denied a heuring, sspocially when, just boforo, the Chntrman of the meoting had avnounced that 1f any ono had any objeotion to make to tho roport, “let Lim dpeak, or forover hold his peaca,” Tho behavior of Plymouth Church on this occasion shows that their intonso enthusi- B8m ran awny with thoir good judgment. Ifnda moro judicial courso baen adopted in tho trial of the parties concerned,—ono which would have avoided the inevitablo distrust attaching to the mothod pursued,—wo might now havo reachod the end of tho dreadrul cbapter, Asit is, however, wo foar, from present apperrances, that tho wlole matter will havoto be traveraod again, and rogu- larly issued in the establishod courts, With all good poople, we have an unspoakable louging to soon speedy and utter ond givon to tho horri- bLla ecandal which for theso sizht woeks poat bay beon dragging its noisomo trail along, and pol- soning tlio thought of the country, The surost way of burying tho fonl serpent, beyond tho possibility of resurrection, is, whila about it, to mako suro work of th:a kilfiug Lrom the New York Evangellst, The Committeo of Plymoutn Church, appoint- od to investigato the churgos against Mr. Boacl. er, mado their report on Friday last, It was two mouths sinco thoy bogau thoir inquirios.
