THE GRAND ARMY OF THE RE-
PURUTC

PUBLIC.
A few weeks since at the meeting at
Columbus, Ohio, Of the Chief Post of the
REASONABLE organization calling itself the
Grand Army Of the Republic, and com
posed as it is Of political knaves who
wore shoulder straps during the war, but
did not win them by service in the field,
a resolution Of compliment % Zen. Sheri-
dan was adopted Neither Grant nor
Sherman were noticed This was not
surprising But they even passed over
Thomas Sheridan, however, who was
in open resistance to the Commander-in-
Chief Of the United States army, and de-
served not only removal from his position
as civil supervisor of Louisiana and
Texas, but arrest and trial by military
court for disobedience Of orders, was
significantly notified that the Grand
Army was Fin line to support him"
The New York Tribune referring to
this organization says
We denounce this new secret association
az inimical to the constitution and the
Union. 1t will be a sad day for our party
when soldiers find no better work than to
prowl over the battle fields Of the past, and
dig up the bodies of the slain. The coun-
try wants peace, and rest, and harmony,
and Justice. These men want distracted
country, that offices may be gained. They
would make America a Mexico, peace
would be sent to sleep with Turks and in
fdels, and, instead of Union, they would
"the wofulest division make that ever fell
upon this cursed earth"
This emphatic denunciation is Just to
the letter We do not know the secrets
of this cabal, but enough is known to
show that they are as mischievous and
internal as a Brownlow league. They |
seek power and plumber by confscation |
and rapine upon American liberty. The
name they assume ia a falsehood. They |
are not the Army of the Republic, and |
their purpose is not its good. They are
plotting traitors sworn to overthrow the |
The fussy little upstart |
who rules at. New Orleans is a fit object |
for its admiration, and both are fit sub
sects for squelching out by the American
people The insolence and triumph Of |
such men and organizations under the
tyranny of which we are
he victims, seems indefinite, but it can
not last forever In time they will be
crushed to atoms beneath the indignant
read Of the American people
The mills Of the gods grind lowly,
But they grind exceeding fine"
