Neither DO We intend TO write
down Gen. Grant. We have two
reasons for that. First, because we
do not bclivc in tearing TO pieces our

are, alas too few already. We have
too much national pride for that.
Secondly, because we could say moth.
ing against that gentleman which
the logical and sincere though fanati-
cal members of his party have not
already said. Take, for instance,
thi S decctable sample from the lips
Of the most thorough Radicals in the
country:
The Radical party cannot life upon
the memory of it's good deeds.
Your works in the past won't save
you.
You Radicals shirk the unpopular
necessity of putting the black race
forward.
You want to cover up the negro
with Grant.
Unless you give the Northern ne
gro the ballot you won't get the sup
port Of the negro South.
1t is not sufficient that Grant was
a soldier. Mcclellan was a soldier
-Fitz John Porter was q soldier. 1t
is not sufficient to write against any
mans name-soldier.
by nominating Grant you show
yourselves towards and poltroons.
Grant is no standard-bearcr when
principles arc to DO fought for.
You want Grant without plat
form for the sake of expediency and
winning the next election.
wouldn't have personal quarrel
with General Grant. dare to say
what a great many are thinking.
l don't want Grant for President.
"Specch is silver, silence is gold
en-" Grants silence is leaden.
lie must speak before he gets the
election.
You can't hurrah for Grant and
win on that issue.
Disintegration stares the Radicals
in the face because they are ashamed
to come out boldly and openly tor
negro suffrage.
Don't hide your principles, if you
have got any. behind the smoke Of one
mans scgar.
We could say nothing worse than
this against Gen. Grant, unless we
stepped our pen in Radical gall,
which we have no disposition to do,
especially in this hot weather.
But we have higher reason still
for not undertaking the unnecessary
defense of Mr.. Seymour, or assum-
ing the ungrateful task Of black
guarding Grant, and that is that
we regard the personal influence of
the candidates rs matter of only
secondary importance in the electoral
contest.
From the beginning Of our Gov
ernment, there were only two men
who won the day by their personal
porclnriiy-Georgs Washington and
Andrew Jackson The first was de-
