GENERAL GRAsT.-The Philadelphia Pres,
and the Washington Chronicle are each out in
Adoubie loaded editorial in favor of General

with the Republican party, and in proof Of
ihe truth Of this assertion. he quotes from
the speech Of Hon. Elihu B. Washburne, at
Elizabeth, Illinois, on the 9th OF October,
which be says may be accepted as alike au.
thoriative with the declarations of General
isasling. now chief Of staff of the army OF
the United States, made at Gaena on the
2ist of June last. As to General Rawlinp s
speech he says, in italics, it was CAREFUL;
prepared in Washington after Q full under
standing with General Grant, and was spoken

sition occupied by General Grant himself.
