GEN. GRANT NOT \ CANDIDATE
FOR TIE PKEuDENCY.-It may be
stated positively that General Grant
will accept 4 nomination for the Presi-
dency for the next term from no party
Or faction whatever. His nomination
would be equivalent to an election, and
his election would necessarily lead to
his retirement from public life at he
end Of his term ofotice. He considers
himself yet too young to withdraw in
to retirement; and while he unque5-
tionaby has aspirations for Presiden-
tial honors with which to crown his IL
lustrious career, he feels confident that
he can enjoy such honors eight or
twelve or more years hence as readily
as now. These ideas have recently
been expressed by him to his most in
innate personal friends, and are nn-
ques.ionabIy the ideas that will control
him. Notwithstanding the powerful
influences now being used to win his
consent to accept nonlination.-Re-
publican Paper.

therefore, invitedtoa more mature con"
sideration Of the measures proposed In
these sections Of the bill.
In conclusion Iagain urge upon Con-

quiet and restlessness, and to enconr-

A Blunder.

In the many speeches the President ha
made since he started on his tour to Chicago
and other places, he has shown himself to b,
no better than the vulgar stump speaker in loca
political contests; and when he declared. in hi,
Cleveland speech, that he "did not care about
his dignity" he shocked the feelings of every
American who has any regard for the honor Of
American statesmen and national pride. For
the Chief Magistrate of the Nation to hold a
colloquy with every crowd that sees fit to call
for him at hotel, street corner or cross.roads
and reply to all the slang phrases concerning
him uttered in his hearing, and meet his an.
dltors on level in this respect has certainly
no dignity himself nor any appreciation of the
dignity of his Office. It. would be unbecom;no
Andrew johnson, the alderman in Tennessee
village, much less Andrew johnson the Presi-
dent ct the United States. 1t is in striking
contrast with the plan of Mr.. Lincoln. who
from the time he was first nominated to the
ONCE never made regular political speecb .
rarely dI1 more than acknowledge the compli-
ment when called upon by crowds. and moro
frequently made nol II the head suf;co nov
. :', ga p'a''le' ,gocated his pol
10y anu never, IN any public or official capa-
city, used harsh epithets about his opponents,
not even the rebels. He pretends to be trav-
sling merely as private individual, but that
is no excuse. He cannot throw aside the re.
gaia OF Office, " and is President when talking
70 crowd in Cleveland or st. Louis as well az
when presiding at Cabinet Council in Wash
ington. And it is not more his lack of dignity
than his excessive egotism that is disgusting
For instance Who has suffered more for yol
and for this Union than Andrew johnson
Every position of honor and trust has been be
slowed on me by this people, from Alderman
to Chiet Magistrate" This is what he SAT-

doubtless the n. Y. Times felt as we did when
ne delivered his inaugural address-ashamed
OF HIM and regret for ourselves. Henry Ward
beecher, who has been quoted as johnson
man. has been induced to disavow the charge
before his congregation. In letter to his
Church, read last Sunday, he says;
q" l have long regretted his ignorance of
Northern ideas and sentiments, and [ have
been aStOnished and panied at his increasing
!ndlscretlons. UncOnsciOusly, the President
Is the chief obstacle to the roadmission of the
Southern States. tits enough that he is known
to favor O measure to set the public mind
against it. This is to be deplored. But, it is
largely curing to his Increasing imprudent con-
dPct. | believe him to be honest, sincere in
desiring what he regards as the public good
but slow and unapt in receiving he lp from other
minds. Proud and sensitive firm to obstinacy
resolute to ferceness intelligent in his own
sphere, (which is narrow, he holds his opin-
ions infexibly. He often mistakes the inten-
sity of his own convictions for strength of evi-
dence. Such man has a true sphere in ne-
riOds of peril, when audacious frmness and
rude vigor are needed. But in the delicate
tasks of adjustment which follow civil war,
such a nature lacks that tact and delicacy and
moral intuition which constitute the true states
man. Mr.. JohnsOn's haste to take the wrong
side at the atrocious massacre of New Orleans
was shocking. The perversion and mutilation
Of Sheridan's dispatches need no characterza-
tlon. L do not attribute this act to him. Yet
it was of such a criminal and disgraceful nature
that not to clear himself of it by the exposure
and rebuk Ike of the offending party, amounted
to collusion with crime after the fact. What
shall say Of the speeches made in the wide
recent circuit of the Executive? Are these
the way OF recOncilatiOn?"
His own friends are ashamed of his course,
and arc made to blush for him. Nothing has
been so injurious to the johnson policy as
johnson himself
Smyrna times., 1866-09-12

MAINE.-On Monday last Maine held her
State election, and the result was in favor of
the Republicans by an increased majority
The result indicates a majority of 10000; the
majority for Mr.. Lincoln was 1900. When
We consider that the State is surrounded BY
custom houses both on the sea-coast and on the
border, and that three of the Congressional
candidates on the Democratic ticket were John
son Republicans" this result is the more
surprising There is but one conclusion to be
drawn from the State elections just held, viz
that the Copperjohnson policy is unpopular
with the people. We do not believe the Pres
ident's official patronage will work out his SAL
Yation.
