That the laws ofa just and wise nation should protect her youth most thinking minds admit; and I earn- estly hope ours is steadily becom ing a jast and wise nation. NOTES.

It is not possible to give all the reasons which prove this, bat it} will be shown that, with TWELVE DIFFERENT CLASSES, Comprising ALL, he is an available candidate, and with most of them heis tbe most available. His opinions are not left to conjecture. “He is the oniy wan.in the United States Govern- ment whose views on all questions of public affairs in extenso are ob- tainable iv book form” or otherwise. His public services—what he has done—is as fully a matter of public record as his opinions. With bim as a candidate, the people would take no risks—they would take no doubtful experiment. A presentation of the claims of Mr. Sherman, and of all the reasons which make his nomination desira- able, ‘‘judicious and wise” as the condidate of 1888 than that of any other citizen, would comprise in some measure bis biography and in full measure the history of his pub- lic services, which would largely comprehend the history of the Re- public since he entered Congress, ou the 4th of March, 1855, anda contrast with the history of other great nations and the previous his- tory of ourown. This is not now practicable. +2 o---___ GEN. JOHN O, BLACK FOR THE VICH.-PRESIDENCY, (From the Cairo Gazette, colored.) In looking over the whole arena for the most conspicuous and from every puint of view, the best man for the vice-Presidency, the one who could command united ,west- ern approval with a generous + up- port from Southern and Eastern sections, and all classes, is Gen. John C. Black, Commissionner ot Pensions, now at Washington D. C. His pre-eminent availability over all others in the field, or who way be, is in his war record, his general and deserved popularity ————<s ar THE REQUISITE QUALIFICA- TIONS FOR THE PRESIDEN- CY—SHERMAN HAS THEM ALL. Among all the eminent men nam- ed as “possible Presidents,” it may be said, with: ut disparagement to any, that some One, by reason of long service, of experience, and for otber reasons, may for the next election be a more desirable caudi- date than any other. Availability, rising on solid mer- its and services, including such as fit a man to be President, should determine the choice. We must distinguish between popular demonstrations of friends and trae popularity. which is not embarrassed by powerful, numer- ous, avd implacable enemies. Mr. Sherman evjoys THIS true popular- ity more than any candidate prom- inently mentioned. A President is required to origi- nate aud recommend measures for the consideration of Congress. A statesman with large opportunities, who never originated or carried into execution any great measure, does not present all the qualities desirable in a President. Mr. Sberman hax ‘‘demonstrated his faith by his works.” Among the desirable qualities in a presidential caudidate are these: He should have great learning, prac- tical ability, and experience, espec- ially im the line of statesmanship ; he should comprehend the rights, the industrial and other iuterests of the people, and the relation of these rights and interests to each other; he should maintain princi- ples of public policy which w#l secure and promote them all in just harmony ; for the conditions which now exist in the country, ke should be an able lawyer; he should have “the courage of his convictions ;” W: independents, as well as demecrats, and among colored voters of pro- gressive ideas. of record, and in public policies carried into practical execution, tor integrity, which cannot be justly 2 ures of general] interest; and that assailed, and be should have, and : liti 1 te they chrystalizs conviction into with the qua Ines PONE Lees fact, was shown by them in the sequence ihereot geverally will have, | new york election, at which un availability. Mr. Sherman fills the full meas- ure of all these qualities and quali fications, and much more, tried by these tests, he is the leading caudi- date of the Republican party ; and, in_the ability to harmonize and unite all interests and secure sup- usual wethods prevailed to keep them solid for Col.

Mr. Morrison, while without reproach, and well known in Illinois and the West, would in our judgement, be the next best. His record is honorable, but Gen.
