THE THIRD-TERM THING DEFEATED, ‘The greatest objection to the nomination of Gen. Grant has been the overruling hostility. of the American peopto to the vluiation of the National tradition that no man shoutd hold the ofico of Presidont beyond two terms, or longor than Georgo Washington held it. ‘This objection has been so deep-rooted and widespread that if there were no other cause of opposition it was of sufllcient welght to compel the most sanguine Republican to doubt the ability of the party to elect Gen, Grant, ‘The attempt to enforce a nomination and to brave and defy the popular sentiment. hing but Intensliled the strength of the oppo- sition, : ‘he Convention met yesterday, and so far progressed in the organization and in the interchange of sentiments aniong delegates ag to show that nearly two-thirds of those lggally olected were determinedly opposed to third-termism. Aftera eareful reviston of the Iists of delegates and nscer- talument of thelr opinfons wp to the opening of the Convention yesterday on the question of third-termsm as affected’ by tho ox- chision of tho unit rile nnd the admission of district delegates, wo glye a table showing the comparative strength of third-termism and anti-third-termism, ‘Tho following are tho figures; : Ohl Penn a «! 4 AY Derritorte a, Cal ta rt It Wisconplan ss: (ca, {*This docs not {nelude tho two anti-Grant contestants from tho Lancastor District; wo un- dorstiud thera are four other anti-Grant con- teatunts slmtlarly elected by the people agulnat Cameron's packed uppointeos,) This majority clement of 4731s nob com. tnitted as a wholo, dlreotly or indirectly, for any ong of the opposing candidates, but ts sobld, united, and unylolding In Its oppoal- tion to third-tormism and dictatorial unit rule. Upon a division, the vote for Grant and antl-Grant will be about 290,to 476,—n innjority against Grant of 100, We repvat what we havosald several times, that no opponent of Gon, Grant's noming- tion wants to- have hint placed on rocord us having such a vote entered agalnat his nominutlon, ant yet such will be the record If his false, selfish frlends por sist in, forcing tho Convention to 0 vote, Gen, Grant himself, who-has ueyer, by a word admitted that he destred-elthor tho nomination’ or: tha -ofives and-who has ex- prossed himself repeatedly a9, determined to refuse both unteas tendored him with una- ulnitty, ought not to pernit himself to be placed In etch a humiliating position, No manin the country wants to subject Gon, Grant to guything like an expresston of want of public confidence, ‘Che popular rejection {3 of third-termlam, aul the Republican party having by the election of ita dulogates Colorado. c.f Commeoctiont, shown an overwhelming rejection of (hut, Gen.

Before tho mecting of the Conventioh to- day it ts to bo hoped that the peace, harmony, and union of the Republican party will be thoroughly redstablished by tro authorita- tive announcement that Gen, Grant's name Will not be presented as that of a candidate, and that the delegates, retioved of all anxiety on that subject, will be at Ilberty at once to unite upon some one of the other candidates whose nomination will ba rceepted by the party a3.n certaluty of unton and success, —_—_—_—— THE UNIT RULE IS UNREPUBLICAN, It may now be safely assumed that the iloglen! and Irrational “ unit rule,” so called, will net be recognized in the Natlonal Con- vention, ‘Tho only chanco for {ts Imposition upon an unwilling majority was forfelted when the Cameron faction conceded the pre- Uminary organization to the mnjority of the Natlonal Committeo,-n concession whieh was tinde only at the last moment, and be- enuse further restatanea was hopeless. Und Mr. Cameron beon permitted to misuse his accidental authority Inent{Ing the Convention to order lo rule on the question, —had there been a contest over the Temporary Choire man, with the untt rile arbitrarily enforced pending the preliminary organization,—such, unfalr advantage might have applied tho gig law. Bul, with Senator Hoar as Tem- porary Chairman, any vote that involves the final dispositlun of the “ unit ruto” wil be tuken by fndividuat delegates, and it will consequently be rejected by un overwhelin- ing majority, It would ‘be a fingrant contradiction for a Republican National Convention to indorse the proposition that votes must ba taken by States asa whole, regardless of district rep resentation, It would be a viuintion of the principles of the Kepubllean party, because it would be the appligation of the pernictous Demoeratte doctrine of Stute-soverelgnty to the government of a party which is based primarily upon the negation of that doctrine, Jt would bea violation of all the precedents established by previous Natlonal Conven- tions. Finally, 1¢ would be a violation of tho call for the present Convention, since ratlfed by the National Committee, which sets forth: Republicans, and atl who will codporate with them Jn supporting the nominces of the parts tre fnvlted to choose tice delegates froin ectel Cait gresaional District, four at large from each Stute, two from each Verritory, and two from the Dis- trict of Columbia, to represont thont In the Con veutlon. . D. CAMERON, Chairman, Tuomas 3. Keoat, Secretary. ‘Tho language of this call could not possl- bly be clearer or more explicit. ‘There is no Invitation to the States to send State dele- gates to the Natlonal Convention. ‘Tho tnvi- tation Is extended to the tepublican voters ofthe Nation, ‘Lhoy are asked to send two delegates from cach Congressional district. Ifthe Republicans of ench Congressional district have the right to send two delegates to the National Convention, it would be a de- nial. of that right to allow any outside power to Instruct those two delegates to vote con- trary to the wishes and preferences of thoir coustituencies, ‘Yhis would be the ense if the right of o State Convention were admitted to compel all tho delegates from the various Congressional districts to vote according to any instruc- tlous which the Boss of that Convention might see fit to prescribe, ‘Lhe merits of the casa may be falrly illus- trated by supposing a similar attempt on tho part of a State Legislature to Impose In- structions upon the entire Congressional delegation from any Stato in. regard to thelr votes In Congress. For instance, the last Iilnols Legislature was Republican, Thero are six Democrats In .Congress from this State. Suppose tha Republican Legls- Inture had instructed wll tho Iliuols Con- gressmon to vote fora higher tariff on salt or iron. Does any ono- imagine that Mr. Springer, or Mr. Stugleton, or Mr, Sparks, or Mr, ‘Townshond, would have paid tho slightest attention to such an instruction? Is there the smallest probability Hint if an appeal were mado to Congress to compel members to abide by such instructions from an State Legislature it would bo serluusly en- tertained for one moment? A National Convention ts the popular Con- gress of n politienl party, It fs made upon the moaiol of the National Congress, {t con- tains two members for every Congressman, ‘The members of the Convention correspond- Ing to tha members of the House of Repre- sentatives are elected by the Congressional districts, Tho members representing the Stuto at large, asthe Senators represent it in the Nutlonal Congress, are appointed by a State Convention curresponding to tho State Legislature, Any Instructions which such Stute Convention may give cantonly apply to tho four delegntes-at-large, if they aro operativent ail, Many persons, like Mr, Mc- Manes, of Pennsylvania, belleve such in- : Btructions to be un-Republican tn splrit, and hold that they cannot righttally constrain tho individual judgment of any delegate, oven if he bo appointed by tha State Con- ventlon to represent the State at Inrge. ‘This is undoubtedly the trad rule of represent: tive and delegated authority, Tho rejection of the unit rule will make It necessiry for the Grant exports to revise tholr Hata of voters, ‘Thelr estimates have always included seventy votes from Now York fora third term of Grant, when it ts now cortain tint twenty-three will: be op- posed to It, Vifty-elght lave always been counted for Grant from Pennsylvania, whore twonty-eluht or twenty-nine will be opposed to him. Forty-two havo. been credited to rant from Ilinols, where the twenty del- egates representing tho anti-Grant distrieta | or thls State will bo admitted and go agalust Alm, Ju those three States along there will bo a defection of over seventy votes thot have always been included in the vanishing mar- gin claimed for Grant's majority, ‘Tho foullsh talk of the nonination of Grant on tho firat batlot has boon abandoned, Wil Ils friends struggle beyond that polnt? Will thoy refuso to bu contented with defaat, but Jusist upon tho porsonal humiliation of a hopeless struggle? Is that the kind of frlondship whiut such men as Cameron, Conkilng, and Logan cntertain for Gen, Grunt? —— THE ILLINOIS CONTESTANTS, Tho contesting antl-third-torm delegates from ten Hilnols Congressional districts have drawn up vn strong, clear, ealm, cone vinoing momortal to the Nutional. Convention, and which hns beou referred to the Commit tees on Credentials on motion of an Towa delo- gato, Tho statements of this memorial aro facts, They relate the whole caso in a plain, truth-telllug nurratlve, . ‘Tho real polutte decide ts, ave the peo- ple of tho Congresslunal districts, each for itself, the. right to elect two delegates to the Natlonal Convention 98 directed in the call? Iu the call directed to tho Republican voters of the Congressional districts, orto the States ? Which constitute the units of a Convention, fudividual members elected by the, Congres slonal districts, or soltd State delegn tions to be appolnted, governed, and inatructed by: the ruling faction of State Conventlons? Ya’ this a popular-sovorolgnty Con¥entlon, or 6 Conventton of State soverelgnties, us Logan culls It? A F ‘Tho Republloans of Hlnols jntorpretod tha call to be directed to Republican voters aud all who will coBperate with them In sup porting the nominees of the party, asking them to choose two delegates from each Congressional datriet, and for the Repub- enna of the State to choose four for tho Stato at large, ‘They supposed the call meant Just what I sald, und thoy complied with its terms to tho totter, Tho nineteen districts elected each treo dologates to tha Chicago Convention, ‘The Crantiles sucured the delegates In nine of those districts, and the antl-Grantites In ten of tho districts, Theso elections wero held and the delo- gates to the National Convention wore choson before the Statu Convention had taken any netion or lind elected the four delegates for the State ntinrge. And when the faction in control of the Convention, by tho admission of the Cook County Grant bolters, proceeded to appoint delegates for the Congressional distrtets they were oficlally notiiled that the soveral Congressional districts had already performed that duty, a they wore authorized and required.to do by the call. ‘Thoy said tn thelr formal protest, which they had spront on tho records of the Convention: “Wo here by protest against tho appolutiment or selec tlon, or tho ctlempted appointment or xclec- tlon, by thts Convention, of any’ other del- exutes than those named. [viz the delegates appolnted by the distriets], and awe deny the right of thls Convention to make any other anportionment,” Butthe Boss and his bulldozers patd no Nicod to the protest, but, trampling ft under- foot, appointed thirty-clght delugates for tho nineteen Congressional districts, In dolng so, however, they appolnted the cighteen Grant delegates who had been previously elected by the nine Grant districts, thus recon nizing thelr right to seats In the Natio Convention; and thon they. procectted to throttle the popular will fn the ten anti-Grant districts, throw out tho Inwful delegates rep- reaenting the mnjorily side who had already l been elected by the districts, and to replace them with bogus delegates representing tho minority and beaten faction In cuch of those ten districts, And those twenty minority, defeated, bogus delugntes had yester- day tha brazen effrontery to occupy sents among the legal delegntes . in the hall of the. Convention! Tha 175,000 Republican yoters of those disfran- ehised districts ask the National Convention to eject those usurping minority: intraderg, and give the seats to the rightful members. This, in brief, is a statement of the case of tho memorfalists. ‘Tho National Convention must settle this question and make a preeedent to govern the lection of delegates to future Conventions, It must adjudge whether State Conventions, In addition to appointing delegates for the State at large, have tho right to overrkte the Congressionul tlistricts, deprive the people of thelr local representation, disregard tho dopularsentiment and wishes of the districts, Impose minority delegates on them to mis- represent them, In utter disregard of ai! pst usage and in subversion of Republican prin- ciples, These, In brief, are the facts aud ques- tlons presented to tho National Convention by the Iinels memorial, which closes in in this Innguage: Your memortulists furthor show that ench of the distrieta by them represented Med thelr pro- teat aginst etich notion, und that each Informed tha Chatr that thoy had already elested thetrown delegates to tho’ National Convention, and tho detegates fram tho ton districts refused to vote on tuo ndoption of such report.

THE DEMOORATIO DEFEAT, Whatever insy bo the outcome of the Con- vention, the preliminary proccedings have ceased to have any Interest for the Demoorn- ey. ‘Thelr enthusiasm has suddenly cooled off. ‘They no longer throng the hotels or col- lect on tho streat-cornors. ‘They are dy gusted, dispirited, and seo no hope for tho future, ‘ho boastful, contident declarations of the Conkling-Logan-Cameron whippors-In. that Grant would be nominated on the first ballot insplred them with hope, and the local Democracy, reluforced by delegations from Cincinnati, St. Louls, and avon as far cast as Philadelphia and Now York, went into tholr work of bluster and blow with zest and on- thuslasm, ‘They recognized his nomination as tho one and the only condition that would defeat the Republican ticket in New York, Oblo, and Iilinols, and Insure the election of the, Democratic candidate, whonvor he might be. So thoy went In with a will to help tho machine and turn the cranks, Thoy woro unanluious for a third | term. They wero enthusiastic In thelr ad- miration of Grant, the great soldier, and.) inany of them had “fought, bled, and died” with him, ‘Chey swarmed In the hotels, and wherever a ring of mon were gnthercd to- s gether you were pretty eure to find 4 Demo- crat inside of It blowing his bugle for Grant, ‘Thoy spread abroad all sorts of rumors, Thoy offered bets on the nominatlon, but could never be found when wanted, ‘They decorated themsclyes with Grant badges, ‘Thoy attended the Grant meetings and hal- Joved themselves honrsa whenever his name was mentioned, They wore Joud Jy, thelr protestations that Grant would bo tha -hardeat candidate for. ‘tha Democrats to defeat, and that if he were nowlugted the Demoorats would be sure to put up Tlldel,—the crafty rascals knowing. that the Republicans belleve Tilden an easy man to beat,—and supposing that the Ropub- Uivand would swallow we story. So while Conkling, with his whip, and Logan, the slug- gor, and Cameron, the doorkeepor, with his club, wer doing thelr bast to drive Repub: Ucans luto the third-term trap, the Demo- Boventa erats alded them with, Tytensa nolso and blus- ter, They played thy Graut tuno with every possible variation, Who? Thoy knew that rant ta tho cnalest mally Ashpng all the candi dates to defeat, They” fplivved that they could defeat hin oven swith Tilden, thelr weakest man, ‘They felt tlafgn the Issue of a third term alone, so odio! i «1 detestable to the majority of the, Ameridaly people, they could defeat iin, They knew Vi thay had. in addition to this the fearful deltaquenctes, shortcomings, mistnkes, aud corryptions of hls two terms, which would furnish thom with abundant material to set before tho people,—a record that would overwhelin any man. ‘They know that it would place tho Republican party and press on tho defensive against a serles of assaults ft could not with- stand, ant that the moment Grant was nom- inated victory was In tholr hands though thelr man might be as weak as water.

WORK FOR THEOREDENTIALS COMMITTEE The most important committee ever np- pointed by a political convention In this country is the Committes on Credentials solectadl yesterday by the Chicago Conven- on. 1t will have to report on the most vitnl question ever yet formally, presented for deelsion to # Republican Convention, ‘That question is, whethor the Republican Conventlon is Natlonal In character, and com- posed, as is the Natlonal Congress, of representatives of the people, chosen by. the people -of each Congressional district, and with delegates-nt-large for the States, or whether {t shall be composed of delegations chosen to represent States and subject to Convention Instructions whereby the will of the delegnto 13 merged into tho mass, Asceond question, nnalagous to and grow- ing out of this other, is thorlglt of delegates chosen by and representing Congressional dfstrlets to vote in the Convention frea of alt restrictions, directluns, and Instructions not proceeding from thelr constituents, but from a body or organization having nolawful yolco in the matter of their appointment. It Is the old question of National or Stato supremacy, Jt Js tlio Of ‘question whethor the citizen {s bound by an allegiance to the State which absolves him from ail obliga- tlons to his country; whether tho cltizon, in the performance of hia duty, elther as.an tn- dividual, or representative, or delegate, or official, is subject to Instructions from his Stato, as opposed to his obligations to his constituents or to his country. Thousands of honest Union men were “ instructed” into a rebollion which they abhorred under this doctrine of State-sovereignty us op- posed to popular, or Nattonal sover- eiguty.. SInco the adoption of, the National Constitution In 1787, no such thing as in “Convention of States” has over been held In the Unlted States, or anything akin to It, ‘The Republican party has never recoguized or tolerated the right of States to even in- struct Senators ropresenting States In Con- gress, ‘Tho indtyidual responsibility and freedom of action by representatives has always been upheld by the Republican party at all times aud under ali circumstances. It it ever was Intended that the National Convention of the Republican party should be a Convention of “States,” and not one of delegates directly ropresenting the Republic- an yoters, such Conventions would have been so called; but from tho first, held in 1850, the Republicans of the country have been in- vited to send up from each Congressional district thelr own dolegates “to repre sont them’? In fact, the Republican party was organized ns 4 protest agninst the assumption that this was 9 Government of States or an aggregation of States; the Re- publican theory has been from tho firat that this Is n Nation of people and not of States,— that the citizens and not tha States sro the units of political power, For thoRepublican party to now be compelled to decide that this is a Convention of delegates representing tho people, of delegates who are free men, repre- senting. constituents who sre free mon, and who neyor havo and never will surrender thoir right of voting, or the right of thelr dul- egntes to vote, to the caprica or coerclon of any other body of mon, shows the danger of tolerating the theory of State: supremacy in any form, ‘The right of State Conventions to appoint delegntcs-at-larga fy conceded wherover the Republicans have established that rule or custom; but tho right or power of a State Convention to appoint dologutes to represent Congressional districts, or to instruct thom, or to take from the Republicans of such dis- tricts the right of appointing thelr own dele- gates, has never been conceded, has nover been submitted to, and can’ only be tolorated by this National Convention by the violation of every law and usage known to the party since {ts organization, Such a doclsion, in- yolying the Incorporation of State-sovercignty as part of the Republican thoory of govern: ment, can have no other than. most dis- nstrous effect upon the future of the Repub- Noan party, ‘The clreumstances out of which has grown this important question furnish striking evi- dence of the necessity of dotermining it now, in order to prevont {ta recurrence hereafter, A decision adverse to the right of representa- ‘tion by Congresstonal districts, and of the right of district delegates to vote free of all instructions and upon thelr individual re- sponsibility.ta thelr constjtuonts, will lead to contested dolegutions from all the States wherover men may succeed (u packing Btate Conventions, Fi A GENTLEMAN from lowa, of high pere sonal standing and eniinence In Democratic councils, who has just returnod from New York and whoapesks by the card, states that the Democratic tleket to be nominated ut Cineiyuatl, has already’ been named by Mr. ‘Silden. Tho latter will acoept a formal reo- ogaition,by the Convention of his election tu 1876, and no deninelatton of the so-called “fraud” perpetrated on him, and will then suggest Henry B, Payne, of Oblo, for Prest- dent, and Clarkson N.
