that We ara in the midst Of mighty reyolu-
'tion, In which all old things are to be done
away WITH and all things are TO become new.
what is there to prevent this fusion of all par
ties upon the man for our next President who
is recognized by all parties az the man who can
most speedily bring us out Of all our difhcul-
tiesf We appeal therefore, to the perplexed
snd unduly excited politicians Of the country
to stand back and make way for General Grant
and the people 80 that he, by common con-
sent. NAV take the reins from the hands Of this
incompetent administration
Why not 2 The election Of General Grant a.
our next President by the general voice OF the
Ioyal States. would finish the rebellion at once.
No more battles would be needed, no more
conscripts, no more volunteers, to carry on the
war; for the war would be ended in Grants
election. Jea. Davis would mysteriously dis
appear and his armies would vanish like
morning fog before the rising SUM- We should
have nothing to do but to restore the repentant
rebellious States ia the good Old ark OF the
Union. We should have no trouble about
slavery; for the States concerned under Gene
ral Grant-would dispOse OF it to the general
satisfaction. its doom is sealed anyhow, and
the only doubt remaining upon the subject is
whether the black race Of the SORth is to be
saved or destroyed. General Grant, however,
il a practical man. He may be trusted even to
settle this question ia the best way. why,
then, we ask, shonld not our wrangiing polit'-
clans ground arms and Join hauds with the
people in support OF United States Grant!
Why not, Greeley is coming rouad. Three
cheers for Greeley He hss been reading sne
files of the HERALD Three more! he gives
a chapter OF extracts from our editorials run
ming through six months, wh'oh SHOW the tran
sitioa o; public opinion from Honest o'd
Abe" to General Grant. Greeley thus dis
covers the change OF the popular tide and how
Il is drifting. Come along old White Hat, and
joa us ia the good wort. We extend the same

with great interest by the public. General
Mcclellan is not forgotten either by his ene-
mics or by his friends. He has vitality enough
to provoke tho fear Of the former, and the lat
tor will never deser, him so long a. he proves
himsef worthy Of their confidence and respect
The satanic radicals still lose no opportunity to
display their bitter malice against him. and
ths is. OF itsels. strong evidence Of the terror
into which iaey are thrown by their spprefcn-
sions OF his report. the publication OF which
will be their ruin.
! u is somewhat singular that Mcclellan, az.
tremiiy should have been Grants opportunity
While the radical roeues at Washington we're
busily engaged ia irving to kill on Mcclellan
in the Fast. General Grant was achieving his
| tremendous successes in the West. The Wash
ipgton inriguers thought that Mcclellan
would be the peoples candidate for the
next Presidency. and 80 they concentrated all
their spite against him, and thus left General
! Grant al liberty 10 win for himself the prize
which these radicals were eager to keep
witpia their own grasp. Seldom Las that Ne
mesis which all criminals dread appeared 60
suddenly aud 81 erectually as in the person OF
General Grant.
General Mcclellan. although greAi man, is
still ysung man. General Grant will be
ELECTED President io 1864: bat Mcclellan will
be strong candidate for 1875. He can afford
to wait. he has the better part of his life vet
before him The trial. and the experiences
through which he hs. pssssa have made him a
greater msu than ever before When he is
again placed in the position 10 which bis talents
aud his services entitle him we may be sure
that be will eclipse all his former brilliant ex-
PLOTS and gain new and splendid lsurels. We
nominate General Grant for President because
he can be unanimously elected, snd We are
certain that General Mcclellan. whose smbi-
ton is always subsidiary 10 his patriotism, will
give Grant hearty aud friendly support.
