cTRoULATN THE pApERs.

/
We call upon our Union friends
in every section of this county tc
help us to give the HERALD an in
creased circulation in Fayette Coun
ty. While we have no cause to
complain of the circulation of Oul
paper, yet we are satisfied by com.
pairing the number OF our subseri-
bers in the county with the num-
Der Of Union votes cast in it, that
our list should and can, by little
exertions by active Union friends
in each township and school dis
trict, be greatly increased The
political campaign upon which we
are just about to enter is one of
vast importance to the people of
this comtry-none has been more
so for many years. In it is involv-
ed this great question. "Was the
Union party with the lamented Lin
coin at its head, right in prOsecut-
ing the war against Southern reb-
els p If they were not right, then
they were, as n matter of course,
wrong. The party opposed to the
Union party all through the bloody
struggle said Mr.. Lincoln and the
Union party were wrong in their
war policy to save the Government.
They say so now, and in this posi-
ton they have the rebels, who
fought us, to help them to do that
through the ballot boxes which they
failed to do by sword and bayoqet.
Success to the opposition at the
ballot boxes at the approaching
election is nothing short of an ac-
acknowledgement on the part of the
yictors that the war was wrong,and
that instead of defending the Gov
ernment, we should have let jeff.
Davis and his party desolve the
Union and establish their Confed-
crate Slave Government on this
continent, designed by its founders
as
" Tho land of the free and the home of the
brave"
In this view of existing circum-
stances it is important that the peo-
should read and be informed ofI
what is the true condition of affairs
in the County, State, and Union,
and the means by which this is to
be obtained is through official doc
uments and honorably conducted
public journals.
Again let us urge upon every
Union man in the county to assistin
circulating papers end speeches
from the ablest Union men in the
country This will have good in
huence, as it will stimulate the
masses to lively action in the true
interests Of our still imperilled
Union.
The HERALD, during the Cam
paign, will contain a great amount
of matter that should be read by
the people, Speeches and other
valuable political information of in
tercst will be presented through its
columns as well as general and To-
cal news, that will, of itself, be
worth as much to every subscriber,
as the per annum cost of the pa
per.
Friends, let us have your assist
ance in our efforts to place the
HERALD in the hands of every fam
lily in Fayctte County.

General Sherman at Chicago.

At the great army reunion which con
vencd at Chicago on Tuesday, Genera
Sherman delierved the address Of welcome
In the course of his remarks he said:
Happily, my friends, you did not be
long TO that class of the people in whose
hearts was planted from youth the perni
cious doctrine of State power, that the
citizens should love part of the coun
try better than the whole. You were
reared in better school and fought t.
revere the Constitution of the whole coun
try, and to love the wise and genial iu.
huences under which are assured the
l-r,est measure of secur ty and happines:
consistent with the safety of the whole
nation
We believe that the will of the major.
ity should rule we believe that in this
We have discovered the panacea for ills
that have from the earliest history of the
world ravagcd and afflicted the human
family. But We were no exception to
the general rule that minorities will not
always bow peacably to the decision Of
the majority, and found that We must
maintain the privileges of our birthright
by force. You may search history in
vain for more fragrant violation of faith
than that which resulted in our civil war
Never was people more ruthlessly, more
unwillingly dragged into long and
bloody conflict never was a nation so ut
terly unprepared for the attempt.
The volunteer soldier then stepped
forth into the field and offered his life
and his service to defend and maintain
the Government against all it's enemies,
and swore an oath that rebellion and an
archy should not rule this land, but that
liberty. justice and law should be restor-
ed to their rightful throne. He has kept
his word. Shall not, then, claim for
you, who represent this ideal volunteer
the higher honor-yes highest honor that
can be conceded by mortal.

DIR. Newman, editor of the New Or
leans Adcocate, who was lately in Wash
ington, prints in recent issue of that
paper his impressions of the character
and personal habits of General Grant:
Our recent visit to General Grant cor.
rected two false impressions which the
press had made upon our mind. We
have all heard of his severlasting cigar y
that he has never been seen without one;
that it is so inseparable companion that
be has been photographed with the roll
of tobacco either in his lips or between
his fingers, and in a word, that he sleeps
with cigar in his mouth With these
and other stories of the Generals cigar
fresh in mind, We felt no little disappoint.
mont when he greeted us in the hall not
to see column of smoke issuing from
his thin lips, and our disappointment in
creased when he sat an hour in converse
tion without single white on the ever
lasting cigar. And our surprise was
equally agreeable and great at the con.
versational powers displayed by President
Grant. We had entered his presence
with the impression that we would have
to lead the conversation, and remember
ing his reported passion for horses, We
had determined to engage him in conver
saiion by describing famous Arabian
horse We once rode from Jerusalem te
Bethlehem but the General "moved di
rectly upon our works." nor did he give
US time to bring up our Arabian steed.-
His thoughts are clear, quick and com
prchensive his language accurate, terse
and sufficiently full for all colloquial pur
poses. He displayed a breadth of view
a minuteness of detail, practical under
standing, a preponderance of common
sense, which SO largely characterized the
illustrious Washington. In their meuta
structure Grant and Washington are mo-
unlike. In his analysis of Washington
character the great Everett enumerated
common sense, prudence, punctuality
modesty, love of justice, self control, pride
of character, seriousness, honesty, patrio
tism aud mocality, as the distinguished
traits in the character Of the "Father OF
his country )" and it is not too much tc
say no other public man since the day.
of Washington has displayed similar men
tai and moral excellencies in the same de
gree and harmony as General Grant.
