Gen. Grant and the Next Presi-
dency.
The Baltimore american endorses the !
action of the Maryland Republican
State Convention, and puts at the head |
of its columns for President in 1868 the |
name of General L. s. Grant, subject to
the decision of the National Republican
Convention. 1t speaks of the question
editorially as follows:
"The result of the election in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio may be regarded poiiti-
cally in the same light to the Republi
can party as the second Bull Run was to
the cause of the Union. We shortly
thereafter called General Grant to COM
mand our forces, and he led us to victo-
~. To secure the results of that victory
to the loyal men of the nation, the
services of General Grant are again
required, and when he once takes the
field, he will "fiight it out Oh that line'
to an enduring triumph Of the principles
of those who fought with him and sus-
tanned the cause of the Government
Ohio and Pennsylvania proclaims en-
phatically the necessity OF prompt and
thorough organization on the part Of the
Republican party, and the casting aside
Of all personal preferences with regard
to the next Presidency. 1t is the ieal-
ousies growing out of the Presidential
successes that have prevented the For
| tieth Congress from carrying out the
| will Of the people in removing an I'M
faithful executive and thus giving
peace to the country. 1t is dissatiSfac-
! ton at the want of nerve exhibited by
! the July session which has kept fifty
/ thousand Republicans from the polls of
| Pennsylvania and Ohio. Just 80 long
as there is uncertainty as to who will be
the nominee of the Republican party,
our representatives in Congress will be
paralyzcd and fearful of doing their
whole duty.
"There must be no more temporizing.
| The time has come for action. Our OPP
ponents are setting us an example in
this respect which we will do we'll to
! follow. Where they have power they
exercise it promptly and uncompromis-
/ ingly. With General Grant rs our
standard bearer, victory viii! be certain.
He has been tried both as soldier and II
statesman, and has been found equal to
every emergency. All can unite upon
him, while with any of the other dis
tinguShed statesmen named for the
nomination there would be no doubt rs
to the result. five would secure to the
country the fruits of victory obtained
over the rebel hosts we must place Gen.
Grant in nomination. If we would
have Congress free to carry out the will
of the loyal people Of the country, we
must promptly settle this question.
Otherwise, the power we possess will be
frittered away in Il personal contest as
to the effect of the act of Congress on
the prospects Of individual contestants.
"There can be no doubt now enter
tanned that President Johnson would
have been impeachcd before the adj
iournment Of Congress but for the fear
entertained by the friends OF rival cal-
didates, That by 50 DONG Senator wade
would nave been placed on the track Tor
the nomination. They were unwilling
} to put the power ana the patronage OF
: the government into the hands of any
one of the contestants for nomination,
ana hence Andrew Johnson was allow
ed to remain an obstruction to the re-
} construction OF the rebel States, and &c
use the patronage of the government to
+ the overthrow OF the Kepubllcan party
: make loyalty odious and treason power
iul and dangerous"
