National Politics.—The feature of the proceedings in the United States senate yesterday was the speech of Judge Trumbull, wherein he placed himself squarely upon the platform of the Liberal Republicans of Missouri. For this he was read out of the regular Republican party by Mr. Morton, President Grant's foremost champion. It is impossible to over estimate the importance to the country at large of the recent debates in congress, as showing the virtual adoption, by the Democracy, of the so called Passive policy. The appearances now are that if patriotic counsels prevail among the Democrats, the second candidacy of Gen. Grant will result in a conservative (though not partisan) triumph, the most overwhelming and remarkable ever known in our history.—Republican, 24th.
