Gen. U. S. Grant for President.

We this week place at the head of our
columns the name OF Ulysses s. Grant rs
the Republican candidate for the Presi-
dcncy in 1868, the FIRST, SO far AS We know,
TO do so in this State. And, in doing this.
We have no desire to deprcciate the claims
aud abilities OF the two statesmen Of our
own Commonwealth who are aspirauts for
tt at position-Mortcn and CoIlax. either
of whom are eEIinently fitted for the Chief
Magistracy of the nation. But the signs
Of the times point TO Grant as the ''com-
ing man, anu the great mass OF the PEG
pie are looking TO him as their leader in
tic coming contest. The hero who crush.
ed tie reoel hordes at Appomattox Court
House, can net tail to lead US TO victory
now.
The loyal record OF Grant is without
blemish. The prevailing Impression has
been that he was formerly Democrat,
whereas in point of fact he never was.
tits father, many years ago prom nent
business nan in Dubuque, aud afterwards
at Galena. was Whig, a1d the son was
Identified with The same party until its
death. When the Republican party was
formed he joined it, and has always been
so far as he has been a politician at all, in
full sympathy with it, tie did not vote
Tor Mr.. Lincoln at his first election, for
the very good reason that he was not at
that time voter in Illinois
he fact that the General was never
anything but Wing aud Republican
will be welcome news 20 those who were
al 10 ,,f ba tn. q o
friends of American industry it will be an
assurance that should he be the next Pres
ident. the Executive Department Of the
Government would be favorable to the re-
ward of home labor and the encourage
ment of home enterprise.
The full accord between General Grant
and Congress in the all important matter
OF reconstruction is most explicitly stated
His conduct had, however, fully estab
il he'd that fact No intelligent man had
any doubt on that point. lie also approx
ed the House clause in the Reconstruction
bill, requiring the assent of the Senate to
the removal 0i military commanders TIE
Senate struck it out aud persisted in its
omission, but events have shown that the
iIeu,e aud General Grant were the wiser
PARTY.
The rc.rcnchment policy vhi,h he has
pursued as Secretary of War has shown
the General TO be public economist
While rigid in his views on this pOint he
has no sympathy with the Pendleton-
Butler plan OF virtual reputation. With
General Grant in the Presidential chair,
that doctrine, destructive to our national
credit and insulting to the honor of the
nation, would be eifectually bottled up
That the General did right IN acce p'iog
The portfolio Of War, is now admitted by
those who at first questioned the wisdom
of it. ] be fact that he did SO only after
consultation with Secretary Stanton, to.
geihcr with subsequent events, proved be-
you'd rational doubt that not to have ac
cepied it would have been an egregious
bunder.

couRTiNo PERSECUTION.

The most remnrkabb instance lllustra'
tive of this caption that We ever recollect
Of seeing is furnished by u. II. swift,
Esq, Jonnson's Assessor FOE the brOok
vile district. Our readers will recollcct
that we laiely showed on the authority OF
MIR. Bingham, editor of the Brookvile
AmericaH, that Dir Swift wrote the abusive
article concerning Geo. W. Julian which
we copied several p,hs since, and snug
gled it'into the q rial columns Oh that
paper without the sent Of the editor.
Whereupon Mr.. s ewrote US long ar,i'
Gle taking issue h the editor oil the
Americon. We I'd lived il last week, at.
ter our paper had been made mp, aud in
tended to Insert h, y the material portions
Of il, in our issue q this week. But. 10,
on opening the Palladium Of last week
we found the same'ariicle, with the nc
companying statement, gratuitously false,
that il had been refused insertion in our
paperl And on receiving the Brookville
,Lemoera, we found the came thing. with
tie iniimaiioD that prbably he could not
get hearing in our columnsl And ull
the while MIR. Swift knew that We had
had no oppoftuaiy1o publish the article
when he allowed the Inference TO go abroad
that we had denied him hearing. Com.
ment on such course is unnecessary with
candid men.
AS it appears clear that he did not really
icish us 10 publish his article. but has
reached the prr>a U-ic-ired TO impress
with false statement, We shall certainly
be absclved from any obligation We might
have otherwise felt TO insert II. The irsue
is between him and the editor ofthc Ameri
con. aud We shall content ouneli with
noting the progress of the controversy
should il prove interesting.
One word more only. MIR Swift reiicr-
ates every statement contained in his
original article, and denies tina, it contained
any personal or abusive attack on Mr.
Julian" Now most of our readers rccol-
lect the article referred TO, aud that it was
tissue of abuse only worthy of u copper
head pareutage, II charged that our Rep
reseutative was a man who sI0od ready Il
belray the Republican, cause had no
friends save among the Copperheads, with
more of the same sort. Yet Mr.. Swili
says his great desire was TO promote hai-
mony in the Republican ranks
From all that we have said, aud mucl
more that we might say, it is clear thai
political honesty Is not among the weak
Desses Of the self.importam Mr.. X II
