The pressure upon General Grant
rom the Tribune Office in New

yell aimed and will tell. They strike
f...gngtualous and unsatisfactory Po-

pssple Of the Republican party when 1t
Igutnsnts after the following fashion

Presidential cffice he will do as he
..eau1s best, and rise above party. PROB
.rI,- General Grant can afford TO be a
,;E-.f-snd dumb candidate, bat this

might say, "Take GraDt-bs IL Avai!A-

Known in our country. II is problem

The Republican party is too great; its
mission Is TOO mighty; TO SPEAK point
.--Ity. 4, Is too strong-With three
,,,s,5,,s Of The next electoral college al
most Inevitably in It's hAnds-to go
b gLiuK Tor a candidate, or to entTust
ifs s;nrk 10 a man who does not feel in
-ytnpntby with il. IfGeneral Grant Is
the man, we shall be happy. But IN the
face OF his recent record. in the lace oil
his silence, in the face OF the aPphIIlbs
fact thar the men who claim to speak
Tor him are the men who planned the
great Copperhead Convention in Fhila-
dplphia, We are anxious and DOUBLING
Ijrest as Grant il, he cannot carry our
bntiusr unless he wears our UNIFORM.
He cannot lead this party unless We
know where he means 10 go. when ne
commanded our armies, every soldler
knew who ne meant to hght- tits pro-
r5ssd to give him higher command,
aud TO begin even "A greater canvass. l.
II 100 much for us to ask before we ia!i

woo are our foes1 y veg
We should Judge from late Washing
ton dispatches, in regard to protest
from Grant against sheridan's removal,
Inst he begins TO realize that a purely
reiicent policy Will not win. He will
probably still further realize that it
Will become him to give up all chronic
uassiVity and let the country have an
earnest in the way of both words and
works as to the direction Of his symPa-
thies and efforts.
The Republican party is strong
enough TO thoroughly indicate its Princi-
pies in the person Of it's nominees next
ysar,and all appeals 10 its fears by way
OF inducing II to nominate Grant, be-
cause the Democracy may take hin up,
should receive no consideration what

with them. Certainly we should not
want any one willing TO run as an ex-
pcnent OF their present principles, to
become our candidate. We have had a
TYLER and a johnson. With them, let
tine line become forever extinct. If
General GrGut has no political princi-
pies or sympathies that he holds next
10 his heart, and cherishes deeply and
de,ermiuedly, let him be the candidate
OF all such people, bat not of the earn
s-t people OF this country who are de-
teru.ined to secure the results Of the
war.
Abraham Lincoln said to some gen
tleuneu from Wheeling just prior TO the
secession OF Virginia. that he was at "A
loss TO understand what the Convention
wanted him to do. II am willing to do
.everything-to offer any asznrauce-to
.'dissrm any possible PrejudieeZin
'short, 10 give up all save my principles,
"but those" said he. rising TO his full
height, II will never surrender" II
nave been educated in the faith of
"Anti-S!avery. believe the iustitu-
"t!ou is sectional not nationHl-and
"~hi!e shall endeavor to administer
"the government faithfully and consti-
"tutionaliy, in accordance with my
"oath, 1 will never bstray or abandon
chs faith OF those who elected me-
TEis was the substance OF a CONVEX
sation that revealed the true manhood
of Mr.. Lincoln In most impressive
manner. How true he stood to his
declarations then made, the country
well knows. In the darkest hour he
made good those memorable words.
Do ws want less OF true man in
1887 Do we want a man whose soul
is not, as WAS Mr.. Liucoln's, il. perfect
harmony with the principles and faith
that he 50 consciously and intelhgently
e1emPlided during the war?
..PERLEY' writes TO the Boston Jour
nal that, at the White sulphur Springs,
"tbe hotel rate is three dollars day,
and day means iour-and-twenty
hours. This wonderful honesty on the
