Grant, jackson ana Clay.

1t is certainly not very respectful to the mem.
ory OF Jackson and Clay to associate their names
and memories with the name of Grant, but, by
way OF contrast, the apparent disrespect will, no
doubt, be excused. In his letter accepting the
Radical nomination for President, Grant says:
e! shall have no policy of my own to interfere
against the people" U. s. GRANT
Now. If you want to see the great difference
between this man and the immortal jackson, who
was statesmad as well as soldier, read:
II say again, fellow-citfzens remember the
fate OF Rome. and cote for no candidate who will
not tell you with the frankness Of an independent
freeman the principles upon which, if elected, he
will administer you Government.
That man deserves to be a slave who would
vote for mum candidate when his liberties are
at stake" ANDREW jackson.
Henry Clay was not, like Jackson, warrior,
but ne WAS like Jackson, great statesman Do
you suppose Henry Clay would vote for Grant, If
he were alive to-day? Ii so, undecieve yourself
by reading the following:
'lf my suffrage is asked for the highest civil
officer OF my country, the candidate, however il
lustrious and successful he may be. must pre-.
sent some other title than laurels however elor.

be supervised or criticised by Wendell Phillips
or strong-minded women of the Republican
party. The arrangement is doubtless iudicious,
perhaps necessary, under all the circumstances !;
but, granting the need OF a political aiiJi, what
becomes of the law of Congress requiring that
the General of the army shall have his head.

not Justify impeachment if directed by the Pres.

concern himself whether Grant comes or goes.
This adroit tactics puts us in mind of an old
system OF. ''cooping" voters. which once obtained
in Maryland with certain hard cases. These it
was very important to keep apart from the pnb-
lie eye and all extraneous appliances, and so they
were shut up like so many chickens until the
day OF election, and then, by a noteworthy coin.

COLoRs.-I: has been found, while firing at
the running man. target, at Wimbledon, Eng.
land, which is scarlet on one side and gray on
the other that the scarlet dazzes the eye, and is
hence the most difficult to hit, from leaving a
red streak behind it, which unsettles the aim.
The gray side was struck seventy-four times,
and the rcd only forty-two times. 1t is a curious
fact, too, that those with gray eyes hit fairer
than those with eyes of other colors.
