has not allowed his habitual reticenee to
leave the country n doubt - TO his position
Ion Ne greas occasion Of dilbfence between
Congress snd ths Executive. He supports
the plan Of Congress, and is in favor Of it,
prompt and vigorous enforcement" The
Tribune very candidly denies, and calls on
the Times for proof. It says:
/ "If he means to be considered q supporter
/ Of Congress, he is great enough, and frank
enough, and he has ink and paper enough to
make that support apparent. We ass bound
Ito consider him a. not . supporter until bets
ter informed. We shall be happy to fnd we
are mistaken, but we do not want to be
cheated BY the Times, nor to assent to the
proposition that two and two make fve,
when we know they make four. If General
Grant thinks enoagh of the votes of the
Radicals to permit his friends to support
him a Radical candidate, he will certainly
pay Us the compliment of telling us what we
are to vote for"
There is no wisdom in writing down for
the new Secretary copperhead policy, and
assuming that "will he, nil he" he shall
follow it. There is wisdom in coolly antici~
pating any possible event, and as coolly de-
termining in no event to give up the ship"
The party of Loyalty and Liberty has gone
i on doing its work SO steadily and bravely in
the recent years, Notwithstanding it has had
> frequently TO set aside or put under some
that it had counted its friends, that it is not
now to be disheartened or changed in pur-
pose by finding, if it so be, that Gen. Grant
3 is in not SO thorough accord with it as it had
I hoped. Every Republican, whose Republi-
: canism has backbone, will agree with the
/ Tribune in whateit says Of " the dazzling and
: ilustrious name Of Grant that 1--WE bow
I before that name so far as it represents valoi
o and patriotism, skill in the field, moderation
in council, and genius triumphant in war
: year or two since we bowed to the name
|, Of Andrew johnson as the representative O.
self denying loyalty, war against treason
y and clamorous devotion to Radicalism. Blu
o far above these names, as high as the stars
Il and TO US guiding stars, we see certain prn
: ciples, whose life is eternal, and whose sue
cess is more important to this people thar
r that of mere men. We follow them, an.
whoever carries our banner must lead tn,
n way. All considerations of availability, o
1 personal reward, Of pleasing this interest o
If that, are temptations to desert, and meal
q mischief. We sustain no man whose recor,
is is not as clear as the sun. We follow NJ
It leader who does not tell us which way he in
1t tends to travel. Above all things, we hav
e as party been too terribly juggled to ru
/, the risk again.
A MAJORITY Of the loyal people of tn
