GEN. GRANT AND THE PREsIDENoY.-
The business of President making has begun
in the West. Two influential Union papers
in Chicago, and one in Rochester, N. Y,
have raised General Grants name at the head
of their editorial columns for President in
1868, and we copy below somewhat signif-
cant article from the Galena, Ill.,, Gazette
au old neighbor and friend Of the Generals.
From our knowledge Of General Grant,
we feel Authorized in saying, that in the fu-
ture, as in the past, his position and his opin-
ions on all the great questions which are
convulsing the country, will be made known
far as they can be through his official acts.
He will want no other platform to stand
upon before the American people than that
which he makes by such official acts and by
his military orders. They will be such as
will show, when the time comes, that tue
great masses Of the loyal people Of this coun.
try can ropose implicit confidence in him
We know all his hopes aad sympathies are
with the great aud patriotic Unicn party Of
this country. In feeling and sentiment he is
thoroughly identified with the millions Of
loyal people who, in the long years OF war,
and carnage, and blood, gave their heart,
their blood aud their treasure to their country.
He has neither sympathy nor federation for
any party nor any set Of men who were against
the country in its terrible time of trial and
peril through which it has safely passed.
With no ambition but TO serve the interests
Of his country, guided by the loftiest patri-
otism, looking al a regenerated nation. now
resting upon the basis of universal liberty, al
loyal and good men can now turn to him as
their reliance and hope. II the good will Of
the nation deamed it, there can be no doubt
teat he will, at the proper time, respond to
the unanimous voice of his loyal countrymen,
and permit them to rally under bis banner,
which will prove no less victorious in peace
than it was in tho storm cloud of war"

The LAST DAYS or SENATOR Foor The Bos-
ton journal gives the following report OF por-
ton Of the funeral discourse, delivered by Rev.
Dr. Sunderland:
Would, he said that here and now, with the sa-
crod ashes of The deceased I'M our midst, we might
forget the eNcitng scenes Of the present and 90
back to the days of our childhood-those purer
years when, IN the simplicity Of youth
nearer Christ. The reNofend speaker proceeded
20 gYc affecting detail of the incidents OF the
last illness OF the deceased, from an early period
Of his illness He was impressed with the belief
that he should never recover On various occa-
eions the speaker prayed with him. On one occa-
sion he remarked that he knew it was a poor time
to seek religion in illness. He felt a stroug de-
sire to accept the terms of Divine mercy If
he coud only have the assurance that c % would
not reject him after he had so long rejected God.
At another time he remarked that he was trying
TO prepare to die. He could not diyest himself Of
the idea that he should never recover, On Sun
day he expressed his conviction that it was the
last Sunday he should spend on earth, and the
announcement was received by his friends as an
other proof of the mental depression peculiar 10
the disease he was laboring under. On Tuesday,
as if iorewaned of approaching death, he spent
the whole day in taking leave Of friends and in
religious exercises. To his wife sohhing by his
bedside, and to his friends he said There is no
occasion for weeping. This is heaven begun be-
low. l do trust IN my SAVIOUR A little later he
remarked that he had been trying to call to mind
If there was any human being to whom he had
ever done an injury if there was he trusted to be
forgiven. In reference to his death he requested
that no unnecessary parade should be made. He
wished 10 be sent 70 his homo in Rutland, that
his remains might rest with the people who had
done much for him. His great grief was in
parting with his beloved wife. During the night
he made an expression Of faith in God, and par
took of the communion bread aud wine.
] AT o'clock in the morning it was evident that
he could not last long, and he signiGed his desire
to once more see the Capitol, where he had served
so long lie was lifted up, but his eyes were al
ready covered with the film OF death The 33d
Psalm was then read and his favorite verses Of
faith in the Redeemer were sung by his desire,
lie then folded his wife to his heart in last fond
embrace, and exclaimed, What can this be
death ?n and shortly after look Of ecstacy came
over his face, and he cried out, ~ see i'll see
il The gates are wide open! Beautiful Beauti-
full" and Immediately expired.

A PERILoUs FEAT.--A blacksmith in Ill
minister, England lately performed peril
Gus feat. A child aged seven years, while
playing with his brother, aged twelve months,
placed over his head an iron band similar to
that used for the nuts Of cart wheels. The
child's neck began to swell, and when the
parents discovered it they were Mortified to
fnd that it was impossible to remove the
band and that sufocation was imminent. A
blacksmith named Coles was called in, and
suggested the desperate idea Of hammering
off the iron with sledge, and he succossful-
ly completed his iask. While one person
held his legs and another the head of the lit
tie one, Coles fearlessly struck at the ring
and severed it, A false blow Of half an inch
would have caused instant death.

TEE LAST VEfo consists Of innumerabe OBJ
jections 10 the details Of the civil rights bill
which nobody but lawyers can understand. The
best idea we can get Of il is that the bill provides
better defences for blacks than for whites pecu-
liar deiences--in fact was specially designed for
the blacks. We think that is true but we also
think that As the position Of the blacks is peculiar,
As the whites are politically the dominant race,
and the blacks have not equal protection under
the laws Of the states in which they live, il is
proper, yea it is absolutely necessary. for Con-
gress TO provide peculiar defences. The best part
Of the veto is its end, as follows.
My lamented predecessor, in his proclamation
Of the lst of January. 1868, ordered and declared
that all persons held as slaves within certain States
and parts Of States therein designated were aud
thenceforward should be free and further that
the Executive Government Of the United States,
including the military and naval authorities there
Of, would recognize and maintain the freedom
of such persons, This guaranty has been rene
dered especially obligatory and sacred bv the
amendment Of the Constitution abolisning slavery
throughout the United States. /, therefore, fully
recognize the Obligation to protect and defend
that class OF our people whenever aud wherever 10
shall become necessary aud 70 the fullest extent
compatible with the Constitution Of the United
States
Entertaining these sentiments It only remains
for me 20 say that / will cheeriully cooperate
with any measure that may be necessary for the
preservation Of the civil rights Of the freedmen,
well those Of an other classes of persons
throughout the United States by judicial process
under equal and impartial laws or Coniormsbv
with the provisions OF the Federal Constitution.
