The next Union republican nation al convention for the nomination of candidates -for president and vice pres ident of the United States, will be held in the city of Cincinnati, Wednes day, the 14th of June, 1S7G, at 12 o'cloclc noon, and wil!eoav.'t of dele gates from each state equal' to mice the number of its senators and repre sentatives in congress, and oPtwo del-- gates from ach organized territory and the District of Columbia. in the calling of conventions for the election of delegates, committees of tl.c several state.- are reommoudrd to invite alb icpublican cjoctois and all other voters, without regard to paM. political differencei or previous party The call for the itepubiican ronven t on for the puipo.-e of nominating the next President has aiicjidy brooght before thu joiblic mind the several gentlemen who will be aspirants for that position. The indications ate that the I're.-ident vrili bo chosen fiom the more eastern states. The uioat prominent candidates now before the public are Blaine of Maine, Bristow of Kentucky, and Morton ol Indiana. Governor Ffajes of Ohio has been urged iu oppu-iiion to Morton a-: the candidate ol the wc.t by Senator Sher man. The third term notion seems to be effectually exploded. The con test would seem to lie at present be tween Blaiuc and otie of the western men above named. Of the three from the west, Brisiow seems to stand the poorest chance. He ha not been uf fieiently long before the public tj giin the public conSdenee. His action against the various whiskey lingi in dicate a strong degree of ensrgy, and perhaps piiiity. But whiskoj frauds will not be the issue. The speeches and tone of the Democratic congressman, indicate the existence of a sp'u it, which while it endures ttIJI to a great extent ncutra!iz3 the restilt of the war. The recent debate on the amnesty vice shows the veins of the reconstructed southerners, and the tame subserviency of their democratic allies of the north. A Democratic or a conservative victory would undoubt edly do much to augument this spirit, while the election of a President of un doubted Republican and union procliv ities would have a strong effect in sub duing this hostile disposition. Uiis tow icpm-enting a state which stood neutral in the contest is not sufficiently committed, has not a record clear eiiough to entitle him to the leadership of the Republican ptrty. Morion's chances seemed to consist iin his beinc the s.tionyea candidate from the Wet. Thtrinovemctit look ing towaids Gov. "laves as the west ern man will utid ubtedly weaken liim. Morton's war record is good, and some two or three years ago apparently pointed him out as the coming Presi dent. He seems however of iatej'ears to be losing h:s hold on thepeon'e and his influence and rank in the party. It is more than probable that Senator Morton will not be the nominee at the coming convention. Governor Hayes is comparatively a Kew man, at leat his name has not Been prominently before the public in connection with the Presidency. This, however, may be an element of strength. Hi lecord thus far is good. An officer, in the war, a former Gov ernor of Ohio, and J're-h from his te cenf victory over Bill Allen, the ftiwer of the Democratic stronghold, he is perhaps quite as we'd qualified as any whose name might be sprung to win popular favor, and carry the popular vote. At the present of all the gentlemen above mentioned, Blaine is undoubt edly the strongest man, and more than any otiier is regarded a. the leader of the party. Rhine's career in the II use as member and speaker was one of continual advancement. And now that the House has passed into control of the Democratic party, Blaine stands out pre-eminently as the leader aud strength of the Republican party. In parliamentary strategy he has showu himself emiuently qualified to guide formeily. Gai field explains his action in the last congress, asd chars himself and the house from the imputations which had reteJ upon tliem by alleg ing that tho law of last tension by mis take covered more than wa intended. Among the victims of the whiskey prosecutions in Chicago the name of A. C. Hesing stands out in full relief. Three months ago Ileing was candi date for the offioi of County Tieasurer of Cook count'.

When the country for gets the brave men, who has risked hie aud limb to save the Union from di-memberiuent, it should sit on the stool ot repeuteticu for puttiiciu ;o.er those wiio tiied to stab it in the baok. In i In.-act, we see the cloven hoof of Democracy. That party hate the sol dier naturally, becau-e it was through the oc-uiage aud bravery of the s.ddicr they were pieveuted from destroying the common home of the oppressed nationalities flying from the tyrant m.e of the coronet ted lascais of Europe. We venture to ;i-crt that the door keeper of the house, who discharged the mutilated man (so as to preveut him from earning a living for himself and family if lie has one) never knew what it was to be a soldier hiu eif, or if he wore the unilbrm, that he was al ways found somewh re trying to save bis own hide, w.hile tho brave veteran he has di-charged was fighting the battles of his country. The incident is simple in itself, but wrong in the extreu.e, because no innn de-erves better of his country than the soldier who defends it. And if there i an office which he can fill, he is the fir-t who ought to get it. It goes to show however, that if the Democracy gets into power, no oi.e can predict what the CO- sequence will be.
