GRANT AS SOLDIER AND STATESMAN; being
Succinct History of his Military and Civil
Career. By Edward Rowland. One vol.
crown octave. PIP. $50. Hartford: j. b.
Burr & Co.
The plan of this work is in some respects
peculiar. Its author has aimed not SO much
to construct biography, to present the bare
facts in the life of his eminent subject, as to
exhibit the personality and character of the
man. The facts indeed are correctly given,
but mere regard for detail is subordinated to
the more philosophical purpose of exhibiting
the motives which actuated and the principles
which governed the man in his connection
with the great events in which he has played
SO conspicuous part The character of Grant
as soldier is carefully analysed and his brill
liant career faithfully delineated. In exhibit
ing the same great man in the capacity of a
statesman, the author has had a more difficult
task, not indeed from any lack Of statesman
like qualities in his subject, but because the
splendor of the generals military achieve
ments rather has the effect to throw into the
shade those palmer qualities of sound judg-
ment, fearless honesty, and clear good sense
which have marked all his public acts and
which constitute his claim to confidence as a
statesman. But Mr.. Rowland has well under
stood that the character of man may often
be as well determined from two acts as from
two hundred; and this part of his work will
we think, give full satisfaction to General
Grants warmest friends and admirers The
work is written in pleasing and popular
style, and will be widely read. 1t contains
much to recommend it as useful and effec-
tive aid in the approaching campaign,

THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS were on the

THE Sot.DrERs AND SAILORS We're on the
war nath at Chicago Tuesday, judging from
the teleoraphic reports of their doings in con-
ventiop. The Wisconsin war eagle, "Old Abe
whose piercing eye has overlooked SO many
battle-fields, probably concluded that he was
again called into active service. Some of the
speeches would be regarded under ordinary
circumstances as extravagant and indiscreet,
out when we remember who their authors
We're and the extraordinary irritation TO which
they were subject, even the "Rogue's March"
and the somewhat indiscriminate use of dis
paraging epithets with respect to the Seven
Wise Men of America, may be excused. The
soldiers and sailors who met at Chicago are
the representatives of the men to whom the con-
tioued existence of the Republic is due They
are the It representatives., too, of the grand army
OF their dead comrades whose devotion to
the fatherland was of that heroic cast that
they may nevermore ON earth take counsel
with their fellows concerning its welfare and
glory. 1t is no wonder, then, that they whose
patriotism has been subjected to the great final
test of all, cannot endure with patience even
the appearance of delinquency on the part of
the servants of the people.
There is, however, point to which the most
patriotic soldiers cannot carry with them the
sympathy and respect of even a military con-
sttuency. One Of the speakers at Chicago
and we are glad to notice the absence of any
indication that he had the endorsement of the
convention-spoke of the expediency of open
ing "a recruiting office for Senators" so as to
secure sufficient number of the right stamp
to make certain the conviction of the Presi-
dent. This savors too much of the summary
proceedings OF camps in the heat of a mill
tary campaign. No doubt it was a mere ebu-
lition of indignation, unrestrained by the in
1uence of proper reflection and prudence.
We must look for genuine and deliberate
expression of the opinions of the convention
in the resolutions. These are certainly not
robbed of any energy of expression by tie
influence of conservative feeling, but they are
drawn up in very different spirit from Gen.
Stokes extravaganza. They indicate prefer
ence for Gen. Grant for President, and the Re
publican party for political organization, ex-
press an opinion unfavorable to the innocence
Of the President and to the conduct of "the
seven," and demand the protection by the gov
eminent of the rights of naturalized citizens.
Since it became certain that Grant would
be the nominee of the Republican party,
many persons have regarded the assembling
of a military convention at Chicago as OF no
esnecial significance use. But this is not
the case. At this time nothing can be more
gratifying and inspiring than to see the BRAY
est and best men of the land pledging anew
their fealty to the country and to the party
which has the best interests of that country
in its keeping
