ONE good effect of the late election is seen
in the changed tone of the Democratic papers
toward General Grant Before the election
they treated him in manner that was a dis
grace to free discussion. They did not CO lfine
themselves to arguments tending to show his
unfitness for the office of President. This
would have been legitimate mode OF argu-
ment if honestly pursued. They INDUCED
their party yindictiveness in aspersing his per-
sonal character and seeking to belittle his VIC
tories the glory of which not only belongs to
him as an individual, but constitutes part of
his country's patrimony. They were willing
to sacrifice the glory of the union victories for
the sake of obscuring his They even went so
far as to accuse him without any ground what
ever, of design to overthrow our Republican
government and to establish military despot-
ism upon its ruins.
How changed their tone now when abuse
can no longer be profitable. They are now be-
ginning to notice Grants virtues and to chron-
icle his wise or patriotic acts. They even con-
graduate the country upon the safe and iudic-
ious administration he is likely to give us. 1t
is gratifying to see them accept the situation
SO phlosophically Is it possible that we are
to have an "era of good feeling?" What a
pity it is that the Democrats could not sooner
have found out how good a man Gen. Grant
is. They would then have saved themselves
the humiliation of giving the lie to their own
calumnies.
THE way in which Grant Struggled himself
into the capital Saturday night waa character
icfsn 6 W.T. nd foot of
receptions and congratulations he cannot
abide. So he went through Baltimore, Satur-
day evening, as quietly as Lincoln did in 1861.
The one was afraid of being bored, the other of
being shot, and the apprehensions of the two
men were no doubt equally acute. Grant al
ways beats somehow, though one would have
been willing to bet something that he couldn't
get safely inside his mansion at Washington
without more or less speech making and sky
rockets. His thanking of the military recep-
ton committees ranks as military exploit
next after Vicksburg.
REPUBLICAN CELEBRATION IN UPPER GLoU-
cEsTER.-A correspondent informs us that the
Republicans of Upper Gloucester met On We'd
nesday evening, 4th inst, to celebrate the Pres
idential election. Forming procession and
armed with torches they marched through the
principal street, cheering vociferously at diff
ferent points on the route. Returning to the
centre of the village AMI hating near the flag,
stirring appeal was read by one of the prom
inent citizens. Quite crowd was drawn out.
The ladies seemed quite as enthusiastic as the
men. Every house in the village, and many in
the suburbs, were brilliantly illuminated.
