General Grant viii stand higher with the great
mass Of his countrymen for the evidence now
given TO the public that he was sane, even
when Johnson was goading the public mind to
frenzy by daily harangues importing that
treason was a crime traitors must be punished,
etc. eto. The questions Of the COMMITTEES
constrained him to say that

We do not advocate the nomination OF
General Grant for next President, believing
that this office can be better filled by one OF
our eminent civilians, while the General re-
tains-as we trust he will retain till death
the command in chief of the military forces OF
the republic. We protest against the false
and coWardly outcry that the Republicans
must run General Grant for next President or
be beaten. If we are indeed so desperately
out of favor with the people that our princi-
pies will be rejected by them unless set OIL
and commended by a oockade, let us make
manful struggle and be beaten. But those who
contrived and effected our defeat in certain
States this fall, on purpose to give them a
chance to say, "Take Grant or be defeated ~
ought not to be gratifed by the success of
their base Vaccinations.
There are those who support General Graut
for President because he is their first choice.
With these we can have no controversy.
| They have perfect right to their preference,
as we have to ours. If the Republican Ma
tional Convention shall decide in their favor,
we shall give their candidate cordial, hearty
support; for we know they will so support
our favorite if he should be the nominee. We
concede-nay, we insist on, we rejoice in-the
merits and services of the man of their choice,
as they do of ours. But we have very diff
ferent feeling for the guerilas who did their
utmost to divide and defeat the Republicans
last year, and (by resorting to more insidious,
underhand strategy accomplished their end
this year, and now point to their achievement,
and say, "You see what we can do Follow
our lead next year, or be beaten' And we
can't help thinking General Grant must re-
gard them much as we do.
