GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY
WHY GEORGIA PAPER SUPPORTS HIM.


 General Grant is national man He bas all his life been removed from and occupied a position above the influences of political S,triie, and Is, therefore, free from the preju. aices and animosities consequent upon them. tnllke any old politician who may be eleva- tea to the Presidency, he has |" no friends to ! reward, no enemies to punish" His services Tor the Union, and his national reputation. are sufficient to carry him unanimously into ! the Presidential office, uuencumbered by 1 pledges to any; his past record being the only pledge the people will require.
 Elected and supported by the people, inde- pendently of the usual intrigues of interested politicians, and responsible directly to the 1 people, General Grant would be free to select | the Souhdrst statesmen and truest patriots for his constitutional advisers, without re- gard to the section whence they came. or ! past political associations. Comprising in the comprehensive sweep of his policy the entire country from the St. Lawrence and the Lakes to the Gulf and the Rio Grande. and 1 from the Atlantic to the Pacific. the good of the whole will be his object, and it may req. sonabiy be anticipated that ai it's members will be tremendously reunited on his asccn. sion 10 power Then the country, emerging from its present gloom and despondency, with augmented strength and confidence derived from firmly cemented Union, will move ir- resi,tibly forward on its mission of good to the nations, and its position as the first Pow CT in the world
 Martially educated by the Union. he is emphatcolly the child of the Union, and loves it with all tEe ardor of grateful son. Having given his services to it. and rskcd his life to defend and preserve it. he will not 'ung tolerate the present practical disuniOn. ! Di>unionists. whether iu thc South or North, would soon hide their dimini shed heads sni disun.on sentiments would be forever hushcd Comprehension and Radcal-m in Che North, and those who, in the south, coverilv ia,or disunion by opposing the proiiered pl5n for reconstruction. will each and all receive their death warrant and be buried in tbe same grave, never To be rcsurrcctcd. But while wi,hcring vengeance would thus be visited upon the enemies of the Union, the magma nimity of the true soldier and successful cap tain would be extended chceriully to all who should ground arms and return to their fdel- itv. Men who have received a military edu- cation are proycrbial, a class, for high soulcd honor and magnanimous dispositions, and may be implicitly relied on in all the re- latiors of life. That General Grant is a rep rcscutatiye man of h, profession is known to all with whom he ever came in contact. and especially to those whom the fortunes of war placed in his power
 We arc aware that owing to the injudi- cjous opposition of the majority of the Press and few prominent citizens of Gecrgia, we may not. as We otherwise might have done participate in the election; bat we shall have to live under the Administration which shall succeed President Johuson's $ and are interested "A C.. baiu.~ hr,ndlr- ffnual and tufafpfaI with any or the bitter preJudices growing out of old party feeling.
 General Grant almost surrounded tho now excluded States, and by force of numbers compelled a surrender: now the people are gathering in thcir might. and soon he will be " "ccmpa-sed about " iu such Wav as tO com lei hi. surrender Co their will. There i, no escape Nuu thi, result and tLc 4th of March, lSG9, will witness thc inauguration oC | iysses <. Grant as President of the United States.
 Let all, then, everywhere, who would place gallant soldier, and truly national man, prepared Co do ni justice c. all the people of all sections of the Union. iu tho Presidential office, rally to the support of General Grant, the Nation, only hope m this its dire eN- trcuity. fRaaa~ N7- E.a.
