GENERAL GRANT AND THE PREsIDENCY.-Tht
Galena (Ill.) Daily Gazette has an article ev
IDENTIFY written by General Grants immediate
friend, called forth by the fact that q some time
since Republican and Union meeting at Roch-
ester, n. Y, had nominated the Lieut. General
as the Union candidate for the Presidency in
1868" 1t is very significant. While the attempt
to nominate the General for that Office is charac-
terized as "premature agitation" the writer
states that Il his friends look forward with pride
and hope to the time when he shall receive the
highest office which be bestowed upon him
by a grateful people, reward for the inesti-
mable services be has done the country" The
article says that % he takes no part with the
President as against Congress- and no part with
Congress as against the President" His - ofli-
cial acts " are his present platform. - His views
in regard to the necessity of the Freedman Bu-
reau and the keeping of troops in rebel States
are recorded His order for the protection of
Union men in the South, his suppression of dis
loyal papers in the South, and his opinion of the
disloval papers in the North also on record. "
His mritten declaration, nearly three months an dd-
rance of Nr. Lincoln's immortal proclamation, that
sldrery should be wped out before the 'car ended, is
,ceU kno,rn TO all Intelligent men," This impor-
tant declaration is succeeded by italicised
passage, which is follows go We know that
all Gen. Grants hopes and sympathies are with
the great and patriotic Union party of this coun-
try. In feeling and in sentiment he is strongly
identified with the millions of loyal people who,
in the long years of war and carnage: gave their
hearts, their blood and their treasure to the
country. We have neither sympathy nor tolera
ton for any party, nor any set of men, who were
against the country in its terrible hour of trial
and peril through which it has safely passed"
FRIENDSHIP AMONG WoMEx.-Nothing could
be more severe than this picture of friendship,
written by Lady Clara Cavendish :-' Men, that
is, men who are worth anything-are capable of
a good deal of solid friendship for each other, at
all events they governed by certain prin-
ciple of honor, and you will hardly ever hear
one of the sterner entertaining parlor full
of guests with the foibles and faings of his most
intimate friend, or with sarcastic remarks on his
personal appearance. We wish we could say the
same of our own sex, but, alas, we cannot
Sometimes we doubt the existence of friendship
in feminine bosoms altogether, and wonder at
the revelations which women make of their own
meaness to each other.
When Augusta and Amelia seek each other S
society constantly, twnc their arms around each
others waists, kiss at parting, and exchange
the most affectionate little billets the supposi-
tion is that they friends; but ten to one, if
you meet Agusta by herself, to your surprise,
you learn that her opinion of Amelia is by no
means high one. She wonders what you can
see in her to admire, assures you she is very
vain, and entertains you with account of GER
tain mysteries of her toilet, which ':you mustn' t
mention to any one, but really the idea of those
curls being her own, and that color" There is
something horrible in treachery. Why need
women be false to each other? They are very
constant, as a general thing to those of the
other SEX"
