Ho Democratic Candi s for the PF dcacy—A New Man Needed. The announcement in the Leader that the current talk about Gov, Horraan and the next Presidency is mere twaddle excites a qood deal of interest ia the Democratic party. fhe last Democratic Prosident having boen ® Penneylvanian, and the two last eandi- dates of the party having been from New ‘Jersey and New York respectively, the great {Wost will undoubtodly press its claims in the next nominating Convention with un. common vigor. , Looking to that locelity, two names in- stantly come into view—Mr. PaNDLETON and Mr. Urxpiiers. The former was beat: en in the New York Convention of 1868 through tt of Tammany Mall, which throughout the long struggle refused pport him, but on the contrary, after y 8 few Dallote upon Sanronp KE.

Ho can rhow a fair war record; and a year ago, in a spowh at New Orleans, he pro mounced the old issues utterly defanct, and advised the South to yicld to the inevitable exigency of the crisis, But Pexpieton has ep enth body of supporters in the jCentral ond Western States, who, though hey may Le voable to nominate him, will have strength enough to prevent the nomi- pation of Imxontws. , Forthis reason, and for the more potent eoneideration that it is day Ly day becoming Imore obyious that no Democrat of the old type, and representing the ancient ideas of the party, can be elected to the Presidency jin 1872, it behooves liberal and progres sive Democrats to be looking about for a candidate who can draw to his support a jportion of the Republican party, and thus ineure success, and open to the country a new political epoch. We think they may yposeibly find such a candidate ia the great walley of the Mississippi, Will the Live men lof the Democratic party east around and ¢ Wit they ean discover fy deveribed Thief was proved to Le guilty, and on their report he was kicked out of the Tribune ca tablishment. The erline of this Sacak News Thief was base beyond expression, It was worse—very much woree—than it would be for one of A. T. StRWART's hoad clerke to steal goods out of his store, or money out of his safe, because Stewart isa mean, hard, griping master, whilo the employer of the Sneak News Thief was the generous, benevolent, trust- ing, humaue Horace Gretiry. Think of the meennees and depravity of the wretch who is befriended by Honacr Gr: ey, and who takes advantage of his confidences to steal from him! That wretch is the noted Sneak News Thief, Jomy Ruserty Youna, For this reason we say MicuagL Me- GicrkR, who stole from the widow MAGHRAN, is not the meanest thief in New York ; and those who have called him so should ask his pardon. . Senator McCreery, whose astonishing resolution concerning Gen. Lxn’s estate created such ® commotion in the Senate, is neither » rebel nor a digunionist, according to the Chicago Republican, but a stonding candidate for Governor of Kentucky, who is trying to atone for social indiscretion which has interfered with his expec- {ations of filling the Governor's chair. Mr, McCewuny, it is sald, was invited to » wedding party given by one of the first families of the Die Grass region, and while the wedding f wes at its height the misguided man plunged a spoon, fresh from an emptied plate of mock- turtle sonp, into the very bowels of a magnificent pillar of ice-cream, From that moment his fate was sealed, for the Blur Grass aristocracy would scomm to be ruled oter by a man who eats ico ream from a dirty soup-spoon, But, asin Ken- tucky the inan who succveds in saying the most foolish things is the one who, according to established precedent, {s chosen for its chief aagistrate, Seoator McCaevar's prospects have iWy brightened since his extraordinary speeeb in Washington, It should be understood that the Governor of Kentucky is considered in that State to be @ much grander diguitary than a United States Senator. ch a man a+ we have — A Snoke ta the G: Some five months ago, a Spanish emives Wreoias Aseansre by name, arrived in his city from Malrid, ‘The purpose of his Mission waa to induces Cubens here to ‘advise the patriote ia the field to lay dow ‘their arms, and to aceapt terms which he twas authorized by the Colonial Minister to joffer them.
