Some people doubted whether Grant
would stand upon the Chicago Negro
Suffrage Platform. To such we COM
mend his letter accepting the radical
nomination, which is as follows:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 29.-To
General Joseph r. Hawley, President
Of the National Union Republican Con-
vention: Informally accepting the
nomination of the National Union Re-
publican Convention of the 2lst of May
instant, it seems proper that some
statement Of views, beyond the mere
acceptance of the nomination, should
be expressed. The proceedings of the
Convention were marked with wis
dom, moderation and patriotism and,
| believe, express the feelings Of the
great mass of those who sustained the
country through its recent trials.
| indOrSe their resolutions, and, if
elected to the Office of President of the
United States, it will be my endeavor
to administer all the laws in good
faith, with economy and with a view
of giving peace, quiet and protection
everywhere. In times like the pres.
ent it is impossible, or at least emil
uently improper to lay down a policy
to be adhered to, right or wrong,
through an administration of four
years.
New political issues not foreseen are
constantly arising, the views of the
public in regard to old ones are con-
stantly changing, and purely admin
istrative officer should always be left
free to execute the will of the people.
| always have respected that will, and
always shall. Peace, and universal
prosperity its sequence, with economy
of administration, will Tighten the
burden of taxation while it constantly
reduces the national debt. Let Us
have peace. With great respect, your
Obedient servant, Z. S. GRANT.
81 indorse their resolutions" That
is: 81, Ulysses S. Grant, agree to run
for President on platform which APP
proves of making voters of 100000 ig-
norant and degraded Negroes" 81
always have respected the will of the
people and always shall" That is {:
''If the people elect me President on
the Chicago Platform, l will take it
that is their will that Negro Suffrage
should be established, and | will see to
it that it is DONE" Yes, we understand
you, 'Lysses!.

ABYssINIA.-We have received a
copy of Sir Samuel w. Bakers new
k-"ExploratiOn of the Nile tribu-
taries of Abyssinia," from the Publish
ers, O. d. Case & Co., Hartford, Conn.
At this time anything pertaining TO
AbysSinia, its inhabitants, animals,
products and climate is particularly
interesting. The author of this work
gives a record of trip in search of the
head waters, or sources of the Nile,
and all the scenes and incidents Of the
Journey are stated so minutely and in
telligibly that the reader will almost
fancy himself travelling over the route,
viewing the scenes with his own eyes
and taking part in the incidents. AL
though minute in descriptions of the
country, the reader is not wearied
Herewith, as the information is all
important, and just the kind that is
sought after, but seldom found, in his
tories. 1t is the little things, often
passed by unnOted, that convey to the
mind the true character of a people
and a country. The work abounds in
descriptions Of travels over deserts,
hunting the elephant, hippOpotamus,
rhinoceros, lion, crocodile and other
game in that country, the character of
the inhabitants of the country, their
mode of living, etc. The work is ded-
icated to the Prince of Wales. The
fact that his wife accompanied him
throughout all his travels, will make
it work of interest to all lady read
ers. Price $3.50 in handsome muslin
binding, and forwarded by mail post

ISLANDER OF THE DEAD.-The State
Guard is piIloried in eternal infamy, by
its article of June 2, in regard to the
death of Ex-President Buchanan. The
defamation of the dead, is as cowardly
as it is brutal and the man who is ca
pabIe of doing thing SO foul and daS-
tard, has no claim upon the respect, or
even the liberation Of mankind. But
what shall be said of the man who IL
bels the memory of his benefactor, of a
deceased friend, to whom he owes moth
ing but honor and gratitude! Let the
public pass its own judgment.
1t is not our purpose to Vindicate the
memory of Mr.. Buchanan from the un-
just and dgratuitGus aspersions contained
in the article to which we allude. I'm
partial history will disperse forever
the cloud of false and periured wit
nesses that would obscure the shining
fame of that illustrious man. The
thousands of heart-stricken mOurners,
from all parts of the country, who fol-
lowed the remains Of the dead states
man to their last resting place, at Lam
caster, refute and rebuke all such evil
minded persons, and the day is not far
distant when they will be remembered
only to be scorned and lOathed by every
true and high-minded MOrnin9
Patriot.

Oregon takes her place among the
glorious list of redeemed and regener-

has been under the iron rule of Radi-
calism, but at last she has burst
asunder her letters, and now stands
forth, free and pure and bright in her
renewed Democracy.
The Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, has been elected by about 1000
majority. The Legislature is almost
unanimously Democratic, which Sc
cures the election of Democrat to the

much larger majority. "Things is

THE APPLE BLOSSOMS AGAIN.
During the examination of Collector

A gentleman who visited EX-Presi-

fore his death writes thus to the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer:
cat the time of my visit he had just
finished opening and reading his
daily mail-which was perfectly
appaling-and among other letters
he read me portions of those received
that day by the venerable VIM. Allen,
ex-senator from Ohio, from Francis
Thomas, Ex-Governor of Maryland,
now in Congress, and a political OppO-
nent, and from Daniel Sturgeon, eX-
L. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, and
others from his friends, which showed
the estimation in which he Wa held by
those who know him best. Mr.. Buch-
anon probably received q 6uSheI Of let
ters per day, and of these, he informed
me, more than three fOurths were ap-
plications for his autograph, both from
Europe and America"

No POLICY.

'Lysses made a speech the other
day. He opened his mouth and put
his foot in it." He was informed by
the chairman of the Suffers COM
mittee, that he was nominated for
President, by the "National Union~Re-
publican party" 'Lysses started out
as follows: "Unaccustomed as | am
to public speaking" &c. Now, this is
no joke, but a solemn truth. No
Radical paper will dare deny that we
quote correctly. Think of it! \
President who begins a speech like a
six year old school-boy! We heard a
"Republican" remark, iafter reading
this grandiloquent openingl in the
scriptural phraseology Of Ben. Wade,
''Well, I'll be -"! But the closing
of 'Lysses' remarks, was still more
ridiculous. After pronouncing about
a dozen sentences, he said: "If should
be elected, | will have no policy to
interfere with the people," Well,
but, Mr.. Grant, the people want the
government to have some sort of pol

know, before they vote, what that
policy is to be. "No policy" will not

WOolley was brought into active life
again this afternoon, in the House, by
Mr.. Butler, who offered a resolution
that all communication addressed by
him to the House of Representatives
should be placed in the hands of the
Managers by the Speaker or Sergeant
at-Arms, for investigation and report.
The resolution led to considerable de-
bate in the House, which became
somewhat exciting at one time. 1t APP
pears that this subject was brought up
by Mr.. Butler from the fact that Wool
lev had sent to theSpeaker communi-
cation covering thirty pages of fools
finement, which he desired to have
read to the House. Mr.. Butler was in
formed of this, and prepared the reSO-
luton presented. During the debate
WOoley's counsel, who were upon the
floor Of the House, Withdrew the pa
per from the hands Of Mr.. ColfaX, in
order to prevent its falling into Mr..
Buffers hands. Quite number of
Republicans took side with the Demo
Gratis on this question, among them
Garfield, Schenck, +. B. Washburpe,
Blaine, Plants, Farnsworth, Ingersoll
and Lawrence, of Pennsylvania. The
resolution was agreed to by a vote OF
GA ayes to 81 nays. AS soon as the vote
was announced Mr.. Eldridge moved
to suspend the rules, that he might in
troduce a resolution discharging Wool
lev from custody, to be preceded by
the reading of Woolley's written state
ment. This, by strictly party vote,
the House refused to do, but the DEM
ocrats insisted on calling the yeas and
nays on such suspension, and it was
voted down,

Who nre the ReroIutionisiss

Radical demagogues have great deal
to say about the alleged revolutionary
intentions of Gen. Blair, and the Demo-
cratic party, in case of success at the
November election. Nothing was ever
more groundles than this charge. There
was not one syllable in Gen. Blairs
Brodhead letter, that, properly inter-
preted, could be construed to favor any
remedy for the evils of reconstruction
not to be found within the provisions
of the Constitution; and certainly there
was nothing in the proceedings of the
New York Convention that was not the
reverse of revolutionary in its charac-
ter. True, the resolutions there adopt
ed declare the reconstruction legislation
of Congress to be unconstitutional aBd
absolutely null and void, but if that as
sertion of very obvious truth be revo-
lutionary then is the Constitution it
self revolutionary. If it be true as is 80
often asserted that the Convention
adopted the very decided and express
sive language used in censure of the re-
construction policy at the instance OF
Wade Hampton, that gentleman's de-
NAL of any thought of getting rid of a
policy so debasing and ruinous in any
other mode than through the decisions
of the courts ought to go for something
with those who have so constantly tried
to make capital ont of the fact that he
was one of the leading spirits of the
Convention. ....
The truth is, the Radicals are them
selves the revolutionists, and they make
the outcry against the Democracy on
the principle that the rogue cries "Stop
thiefw in order to divert attention
