Grant and the Radicals.

The desperation with which drowning
men clutch at straws is aptly illustrated
by the avidity with which the Radicals
interpreted the fact of General GRANTS
leaving the Presidential party at CleVe-
land and proceeding to Detroit alone as
affording an indication that the General
did not endorse the policy which Presi'
dent JOHNSON is pursuing. When the
dispatch announcing General GRANTS
leaving the excursion party was read In
the Mulatto Convention at Philadelphia,
a scene of the widest excitement ensued
and the most extravagant manifestations
of delight were INDUCED in by the as
sembled radicals.
But never were hopes doomed to q
more speedy and cruel disappointment.
Never was the frantically clutched straw
less able to bear up and give new life to
the drowning man, than was the slender
thread afforded by GRANTS departure
able to bear the vast weight Of political
hope which the Radicals piled upon It,
The truth of the whole matter is simply
this: General GRANT was i'll; too ii to
undergo the fatigue of the reception at
Cleveland. He therefore, Immediately
upon his arrival in that city, went on
board of one of the lake steamers bound
for Detroit and obtained the rest and at.
tention his disease required. Admiral
FARRAGUT remained with the President
and took part in the reception at the
Kinnard House. General GRANT pro-
ceeded by boat to Detroit and there re-
Joined the party and journeyed with 1t
to Chicago Thus all the hopes which
tie Radicals had built upon General
GRANTS leaving the President at Cleve-
land have vanished into thin air, and
the stubborn fact remains, patent to the
nation, that the General fully indorses
the policy of the President, like him alb
hors the revolutionary disuniOuism of the
the Radical party aud like him will put
forth all his energies to have the Union
Immediately restored.

GRAVITY and inexcusably in the wrong.

clearly inseperable-for.. National security

only way of escape from theskscendancy
