The New York Herald's Notice TO
General Grant.
The Ne,o FORK Herald months ago brought
forward the name of General GRANT In
with the Presidency, as the Peo-
Piles candidate, and urged him for that
position with all the force and ability for
which the Herald is distinguished. No
sooner had the People given notice through
the California, Pennsylvania and Ohio elec-
tions, that they were opposetsto the cor
ruptions and profligacy of the Republican
politicians aud to making a political bal
ance of power out of the half-civilized Ne
groes in the South, than Colonel FcRNEY,
who is distinguished for being one of the
most daring and reckless Radical leaders in
the country, espoused the cause of General
GRANT for the Presidency. He was not
stimulated to this course because he had
come to the conclusion that there should be
toning down in the Radical programme.
ment. He supports General GRANT be-
cause, and solely because, he thinks that he
has a popularity sufficient to enable
the Republicans to elect to the
next Congress Radical majority
Ia majority that will undertake to brow
beat and domineer over Gen. GRANT,
should he be elected to the Presidency,
just as the late and present Congress have
brow-beaten and domineered over Presi-
dent JOHNSON. The Radicals used to pro-
fess to believe President LINCOLN to be the
Government; but they now practice upon
the belief that Congress is the Govern
ment, and the President mere figurehead.
Col. FoRNEY, and those who politically
fellowship with him, can well afford to
support General GRANT, if, thereby, they
can run into Congress a majority of in
flexible Radicals. 1t is through such a
juggle they propose to trick the people in
to a seeming sanction of the fool-hardy
legislation tie Radicals are bent upon
The purpose is transparent-more trans
parent than most of the Republican politi-
clans who are clutching Gen. GRANTS coat
tail to prevent their party from sinking in
to perpetual oblivion, imagine. The Neas
York Herald is quick to discern it and to
call halt. 1t says: -.-5 -
IF General Grant accepts the Radical
nomination upon such a platform as the
Radicals now tread, he will be defeated,
despite his national popularity and his
mastery reticence. General Scott was de-
feated where there were similar but minor
principles involved"
The Herald tells General GRANT in this
connection that "there is a deep and
settled resolution taking possession OF
the masses that they will no longer
support aristocratic privileges in the
North or negro elevation and barbar-
ism in the South. Bled to the last drop
of blood and treasure, the people be.

port another. For this we made war ir
favor of the black man. AS matters now
progress under Radical rule, we fast ad

1t will be found that the People will no

The country is much indebted to Colone

To watchfulness it will arouse the People
and they will demand, as consideration
