Grants Campaign-Who Is Re-
spOnsible?
IFrom the New York Herald.I


Who is to blame for the fact that General
to stake all on Virginia, when he should ere
this have destroyed all that they had in that
State? In an article published in this paper
one month ago we foreshadowed the possi-
bility that events might assume the position
that they are Row in. We showed then
how Tire yHo failures of Generals ,Rstlor ard
iEfgH had caused great delay in our opera
| tions, and deprived us of the results Of the
desperate fighting in Spottsylvania. county.
| 1t did not appear at that time that those
failures had any more than delayed us; but
we saw what that delay might result in.
Davis had ventured the safety Of Richmond
upon the power of Lees army. Lee was
unable to Withstand Grant. His army was
badly beaten--well nigh eXhausted--but
Sigel failed, and kept his army alive; Butler
failed, and gave Lee reinforcements; and
thus we lost the first chance. To win so
was Lees safety. 1t has given him new
army. aIfn we said, .sthe delay that But
Ter and Sigel have caused shall enable Davis
to strengthen Lee by troops from Johnston's
army or elsewhere, and thus prevent Grants
success, Abraham Lincoln Is the one man
whom the American people must hold re-
sponsible for the failure" He is the man
who forced upon General Grant two men of
proven incompetency to command import
ant columns, and he, by that one action,
rendered impossible the desirable result that
we had every reason to expect from Grants
operations. He forced empty politicians
into the places where soldiers were neces-
sary. and he, WITH his laundering incompe-
tency, is once more the malign influence
that prevents our success. i5fss ~

Some pretend that Gen. Grant never was
strictly party man. This Is not so. Gen
Grant has always been firm Democrat. In
1856 he was an out and out Old HunkeI
Democrat, and as ardent an Abolition hatei
as there was north Of Mason and Dixon's
line. He was member of the National
Democratic Convention which nominated
Buchanan, and voted every time for the hard.
shell delegation from New York. And
those whoa are intimate with Gen. Grant and
his views now assure us that he ehates Aboli-
tionism as intensely as ever.
GFrom The Quincy Qll9 Herald.l
General Grant has not voted but twice
He was citizen of Missouri, and voted for
Claib. Jackson. for Governor. He voted for
Buchanan for President. He moved from
Missouri to Galena, Ill. He was an g, :
.husiastic Douglas man and expected to
vote for him, but when the election came
off he had not been in the State year, and
thus lost his vote. That he "hates Aboli-
tionism as intensely as ever" is undoubtedN
ly true, and it is not impossible that he
may yet be the means of giving the object
of his hate its eternal death blow, a >

rode up, and, by heavy blow with the
back Of his saber, knocked him senseless to
Che ground. Upon examination he was
found to be the same. man with whom For
rest had had the encounter in the morning.
Strange as it may seem, the man was not
killed at once, but was sent to the rear un-
der guard. He has family-Muland Dy
name-residing in this city, who are oi
course in deep distress at the inevitable
fate he has brought on himself. From the
way the story reaches me, have no doubt
of Its truth.

An Abolition paper thinks that the
.'death of Lawrence M. Keitt of South
Carolina, on the battlefield, is suggestive"
So it is. 1t is suggestive that Sumner, and
Stevens, and Potter, and Wilson, and Cham
dler and the other Abolitionists who used
to bully Keitt in Congress, and were active
In stirring up and fomenting the passions
which at length eliminated in this horrible
war, did not, like Keitt, take up arms as a
proof of their devotion to the principle for
northern agitators, to whose skirts SO much
responsibility for the blood shed in this war
clings, not one has perilIed his life or risked
a drop of the blood he was SO fierce in de-

Winter Davis on LincOln's Recon-
fe96 strucfiOn Policy.

In the debate the other day ON his motion
10 Law on the table the petition Of the Ar
kansas claimant to seat in the House, Hon
H. WINTER DAVIS, of Maryland, one of the
staunchest supporters of the war policy Of
the Administration, made point Of great
practical interest. Addressing the Speak
er, Mr.. DAVIS said: "In the course of next
February, the seat which you, sir, now oc-
cupy will be occupied by the Vice Presi-
dent, and we will be compelled to count the
electoral vote for President and Vice Pres
ident of the United States. Suppose State
Government be recognized by one branch
of Congress, and not recognized by the
other, or be recognized by the President
and not recognized by Congress, and sup
pose the electoral vote presented from that
State should determine the Presidential cleo
tion, who will decide that political ques-
tion?r
This is one of the obvious, but serious
practical difficulties likely to arise out OF
President LINcoLN's State reconstruction
scheme for securing his reelection. That
scheme, even Mr.. DAVIS, closely connected
as he is with the dominant party, cannot
conscientiously defend. Referring to the
reorganization Of State Governments in
the South, he said pointedly: "Itmust not
be done under the proclamation of the
President which, SO far as it is anything
more than StatR paper, is grave usurpa-
tion upon the legislative authority of the
people of the United States" This is stat
ing the case as strongly as any opposition
member has thought proper to do, yet no
man was found hardy enough to step for
ward in defence of the President from the
assaults of Mr.. DAVIS.

An Unfortunate AfIhir at Lnncns'
ter, Ohio.

We learn that an unfortunate affair took
place at Lancaster, on last Saturday, in
which two men, and perhaps three, lost
their lives. The particulars we have not
learned; but the following is the general
outline of the affair as reported to us: A
young man, the son off citizen residing
near the city, had some high words with a
couple of soldiers in saloon, who both
made violent assault upon him.
The father Of the young man was at the
time on the opposite side Of the street, not
knowing that his son was in the saloon; but
hearing a noise he crossed the street to as
certain the cause. Entering the saloon, he
discovered his son attempting'to defend
himself against unequal odds. On the inn
pulse of the moment, the father drew re-
volver and fired at his sons assailants, kill
ing one of them on the spot, and wounding
the other so that he died shortly afterward.
The father and son left the city immedi-
ately. The son was overtaken by some SOL
diers who tore him from his horse, threw
him on the ground, and beat him and stamp
ed on him till they left him for dead. He
was, however, living at the time our infor-
mant left, though his recovery was ex-
tremely doubtful. The father escaped, and
was not to be found. Great excitement
prevails, we understand, at Lancaster, and
a sort of ''Reign of Terror" has been in
augurated there. il

Progress of "Miscegenation {" AT
Port EIoyaI--FederaI NHagdalenes.

The Administration, in its humane efforts
TO elevate tho character of the Africans and
equalize them with white people, two years
ago, benevolently sent out from Massachu-
sets, to Port Royal, South Carolina, at the
expense of the whole people Of the United
States, a few hundred spinsters, to educate,
civilize, and refine the contrabands at that
place. The New Hampshire Patriot gives
the result Of this very benevolent expert
ment of Mr.. LINCOLN, in the following par
agraphs: 5Go -
Private advices from Port Royal say that
manyof the female Aboltionists who went
to Port Royal to teach the little niggers how
to read and pray, have been obliged, within
few months, tG abandon their black charges
and open nurseries on theirown private ac-
count. An officer informed us recently
that no less than sixty-four white spinsters
had contributed to the population in and
about Port Royal harbor. The climate
seems to favor population even more than
the production of Sea Island cotton by paid
negro labor.
The information furnished us by the Of
ficer concerning the sixty-four little mulat-
toes, has been confirmed by the testimony
of the Rev. Liberty Billings, Lieutenant
Colonel of the First South Carolina Reg
iment, who is here in consequence Of i'll
health. He says 1t is sad truth.
This item of news Is furnished, that our
friends of the Abolition persuasion may
know how much practical progress "Mis-
cegenation" (the new article in their politi-
cal creed) is making amongst their follow
ers! We shall not be surprised if the
'.miscegen" managers succeed in getting
Mr.. LINCOLN to build, at the public ex-
pense, grand Magdalen Asylum, for the
aforesaid female Abolitionists We would
respectfully suggest to the female lecturers
who have recently returned from Port
Royal and the region round about, and
whose lectures contain their experience
with the 'contrabands," that they will
"draw bigger houses" if they will give
some account in each lecture of the progress
of ''miscegenation" down in their field of
labor.

Protest A0aiast Lincoia's Renomindtion---7z o.
jections Against Hin--Ho Can Nof6e e-Ezected Il
Nomindted-Hc GaH Not 5s Trusted By tie Friends
| Of Freedom.
Our correspondent in Washington has
obtained, by some diplomatic artifce,a most
important political document which we
give below In advance Of any other publica-
ton. 1t is issued with the sanction and
under the auspices Of three-fourths of the
Republican United States Senators:
"WAsHINGToN, ID. c. Feb- 1864.
"The movements recently made through
out the country, to secure the denomination
of President Lincoln, render necessary some
|counteraction on the part of those uncondi-
tional friends of the Union, who differ from
the policy of his Administration.
$50 long as no efforts wero made to fore
stall the political action Of the people, II
was both wise and patriotic for all true
friends Of the Government to devote their
influence to the suppression Of the rebel
lion. But when 1t becomes evident that
party machinery and official influence are
being used to secure the perpetuation Of the
present Administration, those who consci-
entiousIy believe that the interests Of the
country and Of freedom demand change
In favor Of yigor and purity and nationality,
have no choice but to appeal at once To the
people. before IL shall be too late to secure a
fsir discussion Of principles.
Those In behalf OF whom this communi-
cation is made, have fhoughtfuIly surveyed
the political field, and have arrived at the
following conclusions:
II. That. even were the reelection Of Mr..
Lincoln desirable, 1t Is practically impossi-
BILE against the union Of influences which
win oppose him. .. &
s2. That, should he be reelected, his man.
ifest tendency toward compromises and
temporary expedients of policy will become
stronger during second term than Il has
in the first, and the cause Of human liberty
and the dignity and honor Of the nation
suffer proportionately; while the war1may
continue to languish during his whole Adj
ministration, till the public debt shall be-
come burden too great to be borne.
'3. That the patronage Of the Govern
ment, through the necessities Of the war,
has been so rapidly increased, and 10 such
an enormous extent and so loosely placed,
as to render the application the one-term
principle absolutely essential to the certain
safety Of our Republican institutions.
"a. That we find united In Hon. Salmon
p. Chase more Of the qualities needed I'm q
President during the next four years, than
are combined In any other available can
didnte; his record, clear and unimpeachable,
showing him to be statesman Of rare abiI-
ity, and an administrator Of the very highest
order, while his private character furnishes
the surest obtainable guarantee Of economy
and purity In the management Of public
affairs.
a5. Thatthe discussion Of the Presidential
question, already commenced by the friends
