ces eS MEXICO. The Approaching Election for President and Congress. NO FEARS OF A REVOLUTION. Leaders of All Parties Amica- bly Disposed. JUAREZ'S SUCCESS CERTAIN. Political Intriguing and Manage- ment of Voters. The Prejudice Against Foreigners Dying Out. City OF MExXIco, June 13, 1871. Although within two weeks of the decisive election for the Presidency and members of Congress there is far less excitement in the public mind, far less talk and fear of tamult and revolution, than there ‘was in March and April. By common, tacit and ex- Pressed consent of the political leaders, in thetr con- ‘Versations and from their seats 12 Congress, it has ‘been determined that the most successful intriguant for the Presidency shail be protected in peaceful dmanguration. 1 use the word tntriguaat not disrespectfully, for it 18 well known here That all the movements in the Congress just ad- journed have been, as in the United States, directed ‘With a view to the ensuing election, the friends of ‘the two most prominent candidates endeavoring to shape legisiation to the interest of the one and the other, The friends of Mr. Lerdo have been most vigilant and effective in their efforts to diminish the influence of Mr. Juarez, increased and feared be- cause of his incumbency; while the adherents of Juarez have been as untiring in combating the evi- ent designs of those of Mr. Lerdo. In party man- agement the friends of Lerdo have been the most Successful, and have gained the most ground, ‘because they nad the co-operation of the friends of General Diaz—the latter joming forces mereiy for the uncertainty of the election getting into Congress and the possibilities there, and not because of any prospects of the election of Diaz on popular vote or sympathy with Lerdo. ‘That your readers can understand the bearings and importance of the wirepulliag and intrigues in and out of Congress, of which your regular corre- Spondent has doubtless kept you advised, it is ne- cessary to understand how the elections here are conducted. Of course all men of sense know, or Ought to know, that Mexico has assumed the most aiMcult thsk of modern or ancient times in attempting to make a republic after the Anglo-Saxon pattern out of materials one- fourth Latin and three-fourths Indian, and that the measure of success has been remarkable—so wonder- fol, indeed, that there is every prospect aow of a Peaceable termination of the ensuing election, and hence insured progress in the future. Of course there is no general electioncering here, no vun- combe appeals to “the dear people,” no universal suffrage and no whoiesale frauds. They ‘do it up” on the principle of “primary elections"—still advo- cated by a great many in the United States as a substitute for convention. These “primary elec- tions” are for “electors;” these cast the vote for members of Congress, as well as for President. This year, by laws of the late Congress, the same electors serve in both cases. Of course everything depends upon the disposition of the officers of elec- ton, the Judges, toward the respective candidates, and their designation depends upon the disposition of the Governors of the States, and, in cities, of the President and members of the City Councils, Tne ofMcers of election are confidently relied upon to Bee that @ majority is surely obtained for the candidates they are appotnced to serve. And this 1s all there is of a Mexican repubiican election, ‘and wiil explain the nature of the contentions in the late Congress. ‘On count’? now Juarez has eighteen States, Lerdo six, and the six remaining doubtful, excluding from the doubtful some two or three for Diaz. Lerdo has the most populous States, and as there is one elector for every 500 of population, nis six States will in electoral votes foot up fully a8 much as a dozen of those sure for Juarez, Strong efforts are yet being made by Lerdists for Diaz, in order to throw the election into Congress, where the result would be uncertain. But as shrewd a manager as Lerdo is, he has fully his Match in the Indian who is now President, and the election of Juarez by popular machinery 1s, at this ‘writing, almost universally conceded. Conversing daily with private citizens and with Congressmen, in their rooms, on the streets, and in the intimacy of stagecoach travel; with partisans of Juarez, Lerdo and Diaz, | find the friends of Juarez calmly confident; those of Lerdo as gam- blers, betting on the chances there are against them; those of Diaz as if he continued in the field merely ‘because he got-in it, On the last Sunday of June the electors are elected, and on the first Sanday of July the electors cast and seal their votes. So we are about on the very crisis of what is to determine the destiny of Mexico, as all ‘Intelligent people here concur; that 18 to say, if this election passes without revolution repose in the future is secured, and with that the Most wonderful progress; and it being so understood by the leaders of the partisans of each Presidential aspiraut, determination 2a3 grown, and grown into open and resolute expres- s10n, that peace shall be preserved and the success- Tul candidate peacefully imaugurated. The excite- ment grows less instead of greater as the day ap- proaches; ail seem to recognize that the matter has been “fixed up’ by tactics in the different States, and those States are prepared to abide by the resuli. Notwithstanding ihe recent party movements in wns capital, where an illegitimate council was voued by Congress to supplant that regularly elected, and the Governor has, upder a law of 1813, removed the said council and re- Placed the old, even here, and under these circumstances, everything is quiet, and there is no more talk or fear of revolution or convulsion of any Kind than such talk as that of your own Jef Davis and Toombs. A single reflection may be indulged. An unthink- ing American may consider as a farce the republi- canism of Mexico in its universal suffrage as I have described it. But Americans will find out from their Co Nea with negro suffrage that the lower the quailiications of voters are reauced—the nearer the approach lo universal, unquestioned, unlimited sui —the more absolute is the certainty that the result of elections must be under the control of a A Coma few intelligent, active, Interested poli- tclans. Interesting is the story of Romero Vargas, Gov- ernor of Puebla, and very illustrative of the election tactics now prevalent in Mexico. Governor Vargas, an active, decisive and influential adherent o! Lerdo, it was very important to the Juarists to get rid of. He had been guiity of several arbitrary acts in the teeth of the constitution. Amoi ther things he had removed @ federal jadge and appointed his successor, bad fy geno money collected for the federal, treasury for ihe payment of troops, &c. These were tmpeachabie offences before Congress, and Congress referred nie case to its ‘grand jury,” a committee of five, for the prefer. ment of 3 afd specifications. Enough of the adherents of Diaz were secured to make his conviction and removai sare, combined with the Joarists unanimous. But Vargas was kmown to be “a rebel:ious cuss’? and that a dimeult revolutionary attempt would be the consequence of bis conviction in the most important State of Puebla. The report of “ihe Grand Jury” was to be unani- mous, and one of that commitiee—a Juarist—he! out nat presenting the case of the Governor. Meantime the session was within ten days of its close and action Was important to secure the vote of Poevia for Mr. Juarez. Congress ordered, by enactment, that the jury should report’ his case in five days, Vargas protested that lug Papers could not ve prepared; but in vain. Congress was inexorable. Vargas obtained an mayancuion against such proceedings trom a Dis- trict Ja ‘The case Was carried as rapidly 48 pos Supreme Court, which overruled the Dis- sible to trict Judge; but too lave, Congress had adjourned, and Vargas keeps his place to curry the state of Puebla for lerdo, Meantiine Congress appoints Execotve Committee of one from each Staie to main in perpetual session, among whose preroga- tives it is to convene an extra session of Congress atany time. And this exira session would have been convened upon the heels of the coup d'etat in the city of Mexico, WherebY the old Juarist Councu NHW YORK HERALD. TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 1871.—TRIPLE SHEET. Was re-estapiisnea upon tne removal of the late Lerdista, Nad it not been certain that the game would work both ways; that the Lerdists might recover Mexico but lose Puebla, on account of the ceriainty of the conviction and removal of ral Vargas; and as the matter is at a stand-otf, and Mexico is tranquil and Puebla is tranguil, the latter will largely fur Lerdo, the former almost unanimously for Juares. But Cougress rose superior to mere political Manceuvres wien the violent Lerdists proposed to leave tne goverument without a budget for the en- Suing year amd to reduce the army. A prominent orator and devoted adberent of Lerdo—Atcalde of Merida—arose in his place and boidiy proclaimed that the wants of the nation must rise above partizanship; that the government must have a budget Tor the good of all, and that the ide: of a reduction of the army Was 8 disloyal thought until 1t was proved that the peace of Mexico could be assured without an army. ‘The budget ol jast year was voted unanimously to be twat of the ensuing, the army to stand as it is. Thus the Lerdists, in patriotism, voted what is deemed by the Juarists the security of the election of their chief, 11 1s pleasant to chronicle such things, and | do not see why it is notas agreeable to chroni- cle things which are creditable as to be intent upon hunting up and recording matters appealing only to the meaner instincts of our nature. CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT, Congress adjourned on the last evening of May. It was @ pleasant thing for a genuine republican to see that adjournment. Congress had been in antag- onism with the President during the whole session on all matters looking to the suc- cession, the Lerdists and riristas (as the adherents of Porfirio Diaz are called) always commanding a majority of four to eleven, The President always made his “observations” ob- Jections, but gave his}tetermination to be bound by any laws that might be enacted, Before Congress was through Juarez nad dis- armed it, using different tactics from those of An- drew Johnson in similar circumstances, The laws that Congress enacted for political purposes would evidently work differently in diferent States, and Juarez “accepted the situation.” And when at the last hour, all business over, the President was an- nounced In the Congressional hail—there is but one house—by a litte military music and dis- play, accompanied by his Cabinet, and took his seat by the side of the President of Congress as the representative of a co-ordinate branch of the gov- ernment, the scene was impressive. Tne speeches of the President of the nation and of the Congress of course you have had. Each was a distinct re- cognition of the prerogatives of the other; and when the President prociaimed his intention to re- press violence in connection with the ensuing election with an iron will and iron hands the President of Congress, Lerdist, responded with hearty accord. Altogether, the final scones of Con- gress were a8 a “seal of the covenant’ for the maiutenauce of peace and descriptive of the fature Sr a of the government wich must be main- tained. THE CABINET of the President, tn working qualittes and ability, would be creditable 1n any country, It is pretty certain that Mr. Romero will resign the Secretary- ship of the Treasury on or about the 25th of the Present month and resume his position us Minister at Washington. It will be difficult to fill his place, He is one of the most laborious men Ihave ever Known, aud as faithful in the discharge of his duties as ever Was @ Secretary. Some polifical reasons, that would take too much space for me to detail, are alone the cause of the change, Some of the revorts have it that Manuel Payno will be Romero’s su ‘ces- sor, but the President will hardiy make such a se- lection. Romero is eminently @ practical man. Payno is @ speculative philosopher, and as such hoids about the same caste, as editor of the Federa’- isa in Mexico, as such @ Class of Miaister does in the United states. THE ANIMOSITY TO FOREIGNERS which some correspondents are constantly herald- ing is certainly aying out, or rather does not exist awong the officials and intelligent classes of Mexico; or, if existing, 18 repressed in view of a patriotic appreciation of the necessities of the country. Said corres poate do @ great deal of harm to the pecu- niary interests of Americans, for their reports de- ter American enterprise, wiule the Germans and English are getting hold of ali the wondrous mines and the ratiroads. But, enough just now on that head, It strikes me that the Mexican officials have shown @ most remarkable liberality to the Ameri- cans and do all in their power to invite their ener- + gies hither. Witness the willing concessions for railroads and canals granted to Americans; and [ regret to say that some of them, like the Taxpan affair, im which General Rosecrans took such a statesmanlike interest is about abvan- doned. The recent grant of what some of your cor- respondents irreverently call “‘Massey’s Lottery,’? “The Great Lottery of Mexico,” designed to supply the funds for draining tne Valley of Mexico, which has been an object of intense anxtety for 300 years, exhiblted no jealousy of Americans; on the con- trary, Dr. Massey was treated with distinguished courtesy by the highest and humblest officiai, and obtained the concession to 1ess than @ month after the first applicat.on. Of course, after the publicauon of the concession some eaitors attacked the govern- ment for granting It, and one actually did make the Objection of ‘foreigners.’ But these papers were all elther in the interest of smailer lotteries previously established, and which i Was evident “the great lottery’? could swallow up, or were giad to find any excuse to attack the ad- ministration. However, that nas ‘ali died out,’ and ‘‘the great lottery of Mexico’’ is more talked about in Mexico, and its inauguration more tmpa- tiently awaited, than any affair that has occurred in this country for many years. Following on the heels of the lottery concession, Colonel E. A. Lever, a galiant officer of the Union army tn our late “unpleasautuess,” nas obtained a valuable conces- sion for @ line of steamers from Matamoras to Sisal, inciuding ull intermediate ports, and with a most liberal subsidy. We are blind or blinded in the United States to ths riches of Mexico, and its wealth consequently floats off to Europe. Over three and a quarter millions of specie took ita departure across the water but the other day. Of course you have received the news of the re- duction of Tampico. This result, with the threat- ened trouble in Puebla averted, ends all danger now spparent, There 18 a healthy display of fine soldiery in all the cities and towns { have seen, and alond the roads, iooking as if there was a weil pre- pared determination somewhere to compel peace.

Tweed | (wntry Hoy, who was six and Bright Eyee—The Former the Win- ter—A Ewoepstake Swindle Attempted, but Frustrated by the President of the Association. Entering the gates at Fleetwood Park yesterday afternoon we were accosted by an old and expe- rienced follower of the fortunes of the trotting turf with a series of interrogatories and plain expres- sions, the following being @ few of the most perti- neni:— TURFITE—So you have been to Boston? {sn’t trot- ting coming to a pretty pass? I was there; and I tell you something’s got to be did, or trotting’ll go into the ground. Did you ever see so much ras- cality in all your born days as was practised there? ReroRTER—What do you mean? TURFITE—Mean? Why, I mean, in the first place, the trot between Heatherbloom and the others. Why, sir, I was down atthe head of the home- stretch at the time Roden and the other fellow were thrown out of thelr suikies, and would you believe it, Iheard the drivers of Czar, Easton Boy and the other fellow calling to each other to go on. One of them said, "Why don’t you go on? you must goon; 1 don’t wanta record for my horse.” The other chap replied, “I ain’t going to do it; I don’t want a record elther; so you'll have to go onand win.” “I won't; I'll pull ap first,’? said the driver of Czar. And that horse was owned by a member of the Court of Appeals. A pretty subject to sit in judg- ment on the actions of others, I don’t think. REProrTER—Well, bat Easton Boy won the heat in good time. TuRFITE—Good time, ch! He can beat 2:30, and I know it; and so can Czar. Why, I am told that Czar trotted a half mile in a trial, with a man on nis back, in 1:06; and he 1s waiting to enter at Buffalo for one of the $10,000 premiums, and won’t come to the front until that time comes, Is that right? [ tell you the National Association is a great humbug as it is now conducted. Why, sir, they should give @ record to every horse that wins a purse, no matter whether it 1s for first, second or third money; and they should make the judges change drivers when- ever they see a fellow puiling his horse. I think that would stop sume of the fraud. What think you? REPORTER—The suggestions are guod. But what aid you think of the race that Susie won, when Fanny Fern was the favorite, after being beaten two heats? What did they intend doing? TURFITE—What did they intend doing? Ill tell you what they intended doing. They intended to chuck the race with Susie; but Jennie winning the third heat broke the slate and smashed things, and they had to go in and win with Susie. A pretty set of rascals they are. I tell you sqmething’s got to be did or nobody will go to a trot after awhile. You’ve got to appoint men for judges as knows something about trotting—men who understand right and dare force the rules, and when they catch a driver pull- ing his horse they should take him out of the sulky and put some other man in his place or rule him off the track, horse and all, forever and ever. Amen. REPORTER—Bat, sir, do you not think that if all the associations in the country were compelled to close their purses on given days in the spring and autumn, there would be less reason for pulling to avold getting a record ? TuRFITg—Of course there would; but still I think that every horse winning a purse, as [ sald before, should have a record; for see, some of our best horses, Elmo for instance, have been winning sec- ond money in the best races, and have not got arec- ord ander 2:30 yet. He got second money on Friday last, when Henry trotted in 2:20. Now he'll go to Buffalo and most likely win some of the big purses there, when, if justice had been done him, he would not have been on the track at the present day. Again I say something's got to be did. Believing ‘‘that something’s got to be did,” we call the attention of the National Trotting Associa- Uon to the above remarks of the old turfte, as there 18 nO question that during the spring meetings of ‘this year there has been more fraud perpetrated by drivers than ever before on the trotting track. There are more fast horses now on the turf than ever before, and they have been entered for the purses at all (he meetings, and have been winning second and third premiums without making a record. Some horses have been doing this for years, and the only way that we see to correct the evil and protect the public is to give every horse that wins a premium a record, The rules insist that the second horse shall be timed, but they do not publish the time made, and a horse coming in second, @ neck behind a horse trotting in 2:30, 1s by this rule eligible to start in a race for horses tnat never beat three minutes, The time of the first, second aad third horses in a race should ve pub- lished as a record; the purses should ve closed on a given day all over tne country; drivers should be changed wien a horse ts being pulled, and, with a few ether improvements, the trotting track of America can be made as popular and as respectable as running races have become during the past five ears. Thue to the trotting at Fleetwood Park yesterday afternoon. There was a match for $1,000, mile heats, to wagons, between Mr. Pfifer's brown horse Kichard M. Tweed and Mr. Furguson’s bay mare a Eyes. This was won in a short rabber by R. M. Tweed. | Following this came what was cailed a “stake {or $350,”” and seven horses were entered for the race. When they came on the track it was dis- covered that a horse that was not named in the “stake” was brought on as a substitute for another, and another whose name was on the card did not make his appearance at all. This looked suspicious to the judges; but they let the gentlemen drivers have their own way fora while, Pool selling commenced and the race began. The horses that started were Wiliam McRoberts’ black gelding Country Boy, Asa Whitson’s bay gelding Dick, D. B. Goff’s black geld- ing Devector, M. McNamara’s brown mare Katie, P. Mallen’s chestnut mare Lady Homer, and J. Sillick’s gray mare Neliy Gray. Country Boy won the first heat, Detective the second, and the latver then be- came favorite over the field at odds, When this had been arranged Dick cut loose, and trotting to the half-mue _ pole, mm 1:16, could have dis- tanced the field, The’ President, Mr. Van Coruland, then saw through the game, and after Dick and Country Boy trotted another heat he deciared the race null and void, and all the bets, pools and all, off. Detective, after being made the favorite over the field, was distanced. This prompt movement on the part of the president of the asso- ciation broke up @ well laid scheme to slaughter the innocents, and if the presidents of other associa- tons around the country would act in the same firm and upright manner tne trotting track wonld soon be rid of the scamps who are now and have been for some time bringing It into disgrace. THE FURST TROT. First Heat.—R. M. Tweed was the favorite. The horses had ven start at the first attempt and went away toand around the turn together. As they passed down the backstreich Tweed led hall a length until near the quarter pole, when Bright Eyes broke up badly and lost eight lengths. The time to that point was forty seconus. Un the lower turn Bright chy broke up @ second time, and Tweed passed the half-mile pole ten lengths in front in 1:214,. Going up the backstretch Bright Eyes be- gan gaining on Tweed, and at the three-quarter pole was only six lengths behind, She shut up the gap atevery striae ap the homestretch, but could not quite reach him. He passed under the string a winner by @ length and a half in 2:46}s. Second Hrat.—Tweed was then a great favorite. The horses had an even start, but Tweed broke up a8 soon as the word was given and lost four lengths, Bright eyes led to the quarter pole in forty-two seconds, four lengths ahead. She was two lengths in front at the balf mile in 1:23, Going up the back- stretcn they both broke up and were nw ciel at the three-quarter pole. They swung into the homestretch close together; but Bright Eyes broke on the way home, and Tweed won by two lengths in 2 The following 1s a SUMMARY.

Dick had them all a distance out at the three-quarter pole, but he was then taken in hand, Country Boy, Katle and Detector ran inside the distance fag, Country Boy broke his bit, and the driver, Haslett, jumped from the sulky on the back of the horse and ‘80 came to the stand. Katie and Detector were dis- tapeed. Time, 2:39, Fourth Heat.—All the horses were now out of the race but Dick and Country Boy, and the pools hav- ing been all arranged to the sati tion of the get- ters up of the swindle, everything appeared iovely for the backers of Dick. The horses had an even send-off, but Dick went away with Country Boy and stayed with him to the quarter pole, which they passed im forty seconds; but for some reason or other Country Boy fell off twenty lengths in goin; the next quarter of a mile. Dick passe: the half-aile pole m 1:21, and pulling up almost to a slow jog on the backstretch came home an easy winner of the heat in 2:55. The President then consulted his associate judges, and they decided that che swindle should go on no further, and, step- ping to the front, Mr. Van Courtland announced that the race was ended, and that all bets, pools and all, were declared of. This decision gave general satis- faction to the disinterested spectators; but it aston- ished the schemers, who supposed they had concocted and were carrying successiully on a nice game to ficece a large number of persons who had speculated on the result of the race.

The glorious uncertainty of our glorious national game was never made more apparent than during the game yesterday between the Mutuals and the Keklongas, at the close of which the score stood five to three in favor of the Fort Wayne lads. About ten or twelve hundred people assembled at the Union grounas, Williamsburg, to witness the con- test; and it 1s safe to say that of that number there was not one who expected to see it turn out as it did, The idea of a club which had but just been beaten by the Bostons to the tune of twenty-one to nothing, and again by the Atlantics, whom every one knows to be the weakest professional club in existence, turning round and defeating the Mutuals on their own ground! If at the commencement of the game any one had prognos- ticated its ultimate result, and dared to assert that the New Yorkers would come out at the little end the horn, he wonid forthwith have been considered @ fit subject for @ lunatic asylum. So sure was everybody that the Mutuals would have a perfect walk away of it that 100 to 25 was freely offered on them and found no takers, Several bets of 100to6 were made, and two or three enthusiastic indi- viduals actually bet odds that the “Mutes” would make More runs in one inning than their opponents would during the whole game. The Mutual Players, too, .thougnt they had an easy thing of it, if we might judge from the free and easy and careless sort of away in which they played during toe first three or four innings. Millis was par- ticularly careless, he letting ball after ball pass him while men were on the bases, nor did he wake up to the real condition of affairs until the Kekiongas had treated the Mutes to some four or five “goose eggs.” ‘Then he commenced playing, and throughout the re- mainder of the game his performance was perfec- tion, At ten minutes past three the game commenced, witn the “Mutes” atthe bat, ana Mr. John Chap- man, of the Eckford Club, acting as umpire. Pearce led off with @ daisy cutter between short field and sevoad base, but the next three strikers retired as fastas they came to the bat. The Kekiongas were not more success{ul, however, as but one o! the four men who faced Wolters made a base lit. The next six innings did not alter the Mutuals’ score in the leasi—biank after blank followed in touching regu- larity, while the ‘‘Kikankarogers,” as the crowd calied them, placed no Jess than four runs to their account. The first of these they ovtained in the tmrd inning on an error by Start and another by gt ieee lee for the remaining tnree they have to thank Mr. Hatfeld, who threw badly from left field to the home plate, and Mr. Wolters, wno dropped an easy fy sent up by Kelly. eighth inning was commenced the score stood, Kekiongas, 4; Mutuals, 0; which rather critical condition of things told perceptivly on the nervous organization of the boys in green stockings; however, they went in todo or die, Walters was first to the bat, but Mathews, knowing his hard- hitung propensities, would not give him @ good ball to strike at, preferring that he should go to first on called balls, Patwerson, who _ ilollowed at the willow, sent a nice grounder right into short stop’s hanas, forcing Wolters out at second base, but as Carey, in attempting to make a double play, threw the ball high over first base man's head, Patterson not only took first, but went clear around to third base. Pearce now tried his hand at the bat, and as he had made his base every time he had gone to the home plate, the crowed naturatly expected him to bring Patterson in on one of his nice safe hits. He did bring him in, but in so doing took himself opt by sending a nice fly to right field, which the ‘‘Kikankaroger’’ man at once took in out of the weather, but before the ball could be fleided back Patterson had scored the first run for New York. Smith next followed and got to first on a muff by Goidsmith and to third ana home over pitches by Mathews. Start took tirst on callea balls, swle second and got home on Hattleld’s short hit to right field, which Kelly allowed to bound past him, Hatfleld going to secoud on the error, Fergason sent a nice grounder to first base, which closed the inning, three runs having been scored. “The boys with the funny name” now made one more run, just to have the numbers odd, after which both sides drew bianks, and one of the most remarkable games on record was lost and won. ‘The pitching by Mathews was very fine. He is ex- ceedingly hard to hit, and he uses his head, as weil a8 his hands, while playing. His style is very simi- lar to that of Cumming, of the Stars, and 1s quite as effective. in tlis, no donot, is the strength of the Kekiongas, although they are by no means poor fielders.

Dr. Loring, of Salem, “in the Haads of His Friends’—He Will “No Longer Check Their Energy.” The Story of What He Knews About Farming and Politics, as Told to a Herald Correspondent. SaLeM, Mass., June 24, 1871. There are lew States where there promises to be @ more exciting political campaigu next fall than the one in Massachusetts, and the tnterest which will cluster around tt will partake more of a general than a local character. For the high position of Governor there are several aspiring and worthy candidates, and the contest for nomination and election will be a spirited and interesting one, Of |; course, the republican party will win any way, and consequently it is hardly worth while to even men- tion any of the democratic aspirants, it being always understood that he who consents to become a gubernatorial candidate for that party in Massa- Chusetts does so in the spirit of a martyr, and with- out the faintest expectation of ever being elected. Hence itis that the fight will all be on the repubil- can side, ONK OF THR MOST PROMINENT CANDIDATES spoken of by this party—which, tt is admitted, wilt surely trlumph—is Dr. George B. Loring, of Salem, President of the New England Agricultural Soctety and chairman of the Republican State Central Com- mittee of Massachusetts—two powerful and vigorous organizations—the one engaged tn cultivating the land and the other in navigating ths sea of politics. With a view of giving the public an idea of the opinions of this gentleman upon the political condi- tion of the country and State, your correspondent sought AN INTERVIEW. Ashort trip from Boston on the Eastern Railroad brought me to this renowned and ancient city of Salem. On arriving here I found the city busy, thriving and energetic, and combining a fine flavor of antiquity with modern improvements, The residence of Dr. Loring I found closed for the summer, but learned that he had gone to his farm, about two miles from the town. A drive over a capital road soon brought me to his house, situated some distance from the highway and on an eminence commanding a full view of Salem harbor, the town of Beverly running on to Cape Ann, the highlands of Marble- head, and a large portion of the extensive farm of nearly five hundred acres, with its farmhouse and barns nestling in the valley below, and to all of which Dr. Loring has devoted much time and sound foanciai foundations fatd down by the frontier, contemplates the peaceful enjoy- ment of his rights he will not forget what political organization condrmed for him and lus the Ameri- can doctrine thas . ‘ALL MEN ARE CREATED FRER AND EQUAL.’ In 4 moment of political confusion or passion they ay forget ail this, but the memory will return and with it the old faith, as the songs of early home come back, even in the hurdest highways of lle. ‘There are, of course, divisions and personal nvalries in this party, as in all its predecessors: no more and no less, But its characteristic thus far ts OPBN-MINDEDNESS, and this an educated people will have at any rate. 1 am sure it is the opeu-minded party which wiil setile the great questions of State and society in this country hereafter. You can see how thoughtful democrats have begun to accept the doctrines it has already established, and how im- possible it is iO keep the American mind closed against progressive thought, even by the iron grasp of party, I think the time has come when umanity, magnanimity, peace, justice, Christianity, are to prevail! between individuals and nations, an 1am not surprised, therefore, that an amicable ad- Justment of our international dimculties, a humane oliey towards our dependent tribes, & disposition fo deal Kindly with the erring and justly with the unfortunate, a determination to remove all distine- tons of caste, to give all the governed a voice ia the government, to smooth the path of to'l, should Occupy tue best thought now and ve most attractive to the general mind, I think the ape pal has brought this about—the party of open-minded- hess and humanity—and I do nut believe its work will be easily overihrown.’’ ‘The Doctor having thus enthustastically eulogized his party, 1 ventured to inquire of him what, to his mina, Was the significance of the so-called “NEW DEPARCURE” OF THB LATE VALLANDIGHAM. “Mr. Vailandigham,’’ he said, “whose sad and sudden death has touched the hearts of the Amert- can people, Was a man of vigorous and impulsive mind and eminently a doctrinnaire. I nave no doabt ‘that he expressed tue views of a large number of democrats whose open-mindedness has not been cramped by party ties, especially young men who have come upon the stage since the war broke out, It was really AN ENDORSEMENT OF THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, and will, [doubt not, carry many democrats over to that party. No party was ever vitalized by ace cepting the doctrines of its opponents, not even when done as an act of mere party policy. When Mr. Valiandigham made his honest declaration he went so far toward repubiicauism that the rest of the way would have been short and easy. think many of those of his party whose attention was arrested by hs declarations will keep on this way, aud thus fill up tue places in our ranks made vacant by disafected republicans. Parties, you know, are fed by converts borne along by thetr honest convic- tions, and in this way alone 1s their existence pre- served. Isee, therelore, in the course of the iate Mr. Vallandigham strength to the republican party— moral strength, undvadtedly—numerical strength very probably.” “But you must be aware,” said I, “that there ts a very strong opposition to the present administra- ton, which, you say, has accomplished so much even, in the repubtican party.’ “Ll am aware of it,” he sald. “The republican party ts full of thinkers; w is iull of philosophers, um office and out; it is full of critics. It 19 not peces- sary to call your attention to the men in public hfe who shape our pubiic affairs; lor they are the servants upon whom we turn, I fear, @ too critical and unforgiving eye sometimes, But consider who stand with us inthe ranks. Agas- siz, Emerson. Lougfeliow, Lowell, Whittier, Bryant, Curtis, Greeley, Beecher, Fred Douglass, Mrs, Howe, Mrs. Livermore and Anna Dickinson, togeth- er with an innumerable host of educators, and preachers and able editors, and do you wonder that the practical workings of an ad- ministration should be subjected to the keenest ex- amination and fearlessly called in question, even. the house of 118 friends? 1¢ 18 by no manner of means easy to bring the affairs of state up to @ sub- lime standard, It is not easy to satisfy the purtty of the cloister or the pulpit or the liprary or the courta or the exchange that statesmanship is anything more than political intrigue, especially contempora. neous statesmanship. I know a great many good men who, while they look with entire respect on the official roves, always thank God there is no smell of politics on their garments. 1 have no doubt that this is all mgnt, but it puts a servant in @ hard piace and takes away skin, It took a little time to look over the herd of Ayrshires and the Abdallah and Messenger colts, and the root crops and market gardening, of which the Doctor seems to be quite proud, and in which I began to take a deep Interest myself, under the care of my enthusiastic guide. This being accomplished I seated myself on the piazza and, with the beautl- ful landscape before me, discussed the surrounding farming operations. After inquiring into the best modes of cultivating the crops and feeding and man- aging the animais I asked:— “Is the cultivation of large farms by agents part of a profitable system of agricaiture in Massachu- setts ?"” “Certainly not,” said the Doctor. “It is small farms cultivated for specific purposes,Mear a mar- ket, and conducted with skill and intelligence by the owner, which are profitable here. Every man his own farmer ts the rule for this country.” “1 see tt stated,” said I, ‘by certain writers that the farming interest of Massachusets is on the de- cline and its farming populstion going to decay.’’ “This 1s not true,” said the Doctor; ‘the land- holders of Massachusetts never enjoyed greater Prosperity than now. I suppose there was never & time when the cultivators of our sotl, moreover, ex- erased so much intelligence in thetr work; and the multiplication of markets throughout the State has developed the most careful culttvation, aroused the agricultural mind to great activity, improved the appearance of farmsteads everywhere, and given a diffused and substantial wealth to our people. You know that I believe in the system of American iand-holding, with all the rights and privileges which go With it, as especially the American’s perogative—that which distiuguishes him from every other citizen on the earth.’’ ta hes think this ts true of our whole country? Lasked. “Yes, and as our population increases,” sald he, «4t will become more and more manifest that on this foundation rests OUR BEST SOCIAL AND CIVIL SYSTEM AND SOUNDEST FINANCIAL PROSPERITY, In an address which I made before the post of the Grand Army in Lawrence, 1m 1867, I predicted that the encouragement of free farming at the Soath and the development of agriculture on the American basis throughout the whole country would do mors tw enlarge our resources and give us a sound finan- cial basis than all other modes devised. Now, how is 1t? Not only have we great domestic prosperity, but ineight months ending February 28,-1871, we exported more than cry 000 worth of cotton, $16,000,000 worth of tobacco, $36,464,000 worth of Wheat, $15,573,000 worth of flour. $4,643,000 worth of bacon and hams, $2,267,000 worth of beef, $7,012,000 worth of cheese, $5,928,000 worth of lard, $2,751,000 worth of porkK—making in ali nearly $250,000,000 In these commodities alone of all our exports of $325,000,000—the balance being mainly manufactured goods and petroleam. It seems to me it 1s not ditMcult to see why our paper medium. 1s nearly be CN cops comm and our fnaucial con- dition good.’’ “I sappose, then, you attribute this prosperity to. the political condition ol the country, do you not?” “Oh, yes,” replied the Doctor; “Generai Grant Was nominated and elected on the old Jeffersonian platform of ‘THE HONEST PAYMENT OF OUR DEBTS, and to this his administration has firmly adhered— to this the republican party has adhered. Confident that as our wealzb increased our taxation could be redaced without material reduction of our national imeome, the republican party has devoted itself to the development of our resources in every form, and sonni credit and reduced taxation have followed in the wake, There has been noitung of the kind in history equal to OUR FINANCIAL SUCCESS. You know weil how it has attracted the attention of the best statesinen {n England. We ought all to be prond of it. For national honesty and the right of freemen, without regard to race or culor; for the protection of our citizens, ‘whether of native or foreign birth’ (as General Grant ale) ‘Was the po- litical campaign of 1868 fought out by the repabil- can party. I remember well Judge Boar's account, at the New England dinner in New York in 1880, of his conversation with General Grant @day or two defore that event. ‘I hope to see the time,’ sald the President, ‘when every man in this country can transact his lawful business and express bis opin-’ tons and vote as he likes without being molested or insulted for it. Then, with our credit firmiy established all other political di ferences will be vr jittie account.’ 1 always thought this one of ty o finest declarations ever made in our country. I think so still, and this is WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS DONE IN TY wo YEARS; taking up the country in the confusion left by’ Mr. Johnson and going steadily on, patiently app? ying the constituvional amendments, giving every man the assurauce that his rights shall be protecte? |, ex- tending a sympathizing hand to freemen ‘every- Where and setting an example of national in/egrity which will not soon be forgotten.

We ‘have not for- gotten how, throug! hogeen and defeat, the policy laid down by Jefferson and Madisomand Jackson was susatned by the American people, and how a great party, based on that policy, tramphed untl it was mitted, The same career is to be repeated in another form, and so Jong as the republican party is true t the principles of government and society, upoa which it started fo and which it sustains, it cannot be overthrown. it may suffer ¢emporary defeat, but tts very defeats will be ultimate triumpns for Its cause, You cannot go back to theyold paths— not to atheory even of secession nullification for any cause; not to personal bomdage in any form, not to repudiation of any desemiption; not to a Gisjointed confederacy nor @ dishonored fag; and, ‘Whenever the present patriot in oar country warms ‘NEW Vithoas camp res; Wheoger the ‘prosperous jolican §cam| vi ie 8 Pajolce in thelr prosoeritv. they will (ura to te from him a great of support which would be usetul to him while he is alive, and the value of which is somewhat reduced by being bestowed upon him not til after death. ‘There is @ great deal of post-mortem justice, even as an old Triend of mine with whom I travelled in Europe had unbounded encomiums for the 1ast city he had left behind him, but none for the place where he was. Now ex: d to all this acuteness of thought and this cultivated prejudice stands the adminis- tration of General Grant. Nobody can doubt he has great honesty of purpose—the same now that he had when at the head of his army; the same that he had during his service under the administration of Mr, Jonnson; the same that he had when he acce] the nomination on the Chicago platform, and when he delivered nis inaugural. He has evidently not lost his seif-poise and common sense, and anxiety and steady Detzeptiom, ‘an 4 sistency which made him one ot the most remarkable military men of nis time, quanties which have often been transp!anted from the field to the cabinet to a great purpose.
