eminently man of administration /
believe that not only that he has laid
the country under Obligations which
we shall never repay for the service he
rendered in our great and trying war,
but believe he is determined yet to
lay the country under greater obliga-

temperate, so dvested of passion, so
free from malign influence, SO wise in

the carrying out of necessary measures,
that we shall see, dated from his ad-

If Gen. Grant sits at the head Of
Government, there is not one single
workman in this nation, there is not
one poor emigrant who comes here,
there is not one dusky creature that by
his pine knot candle reads his spelling
book that will not feel that he is safe,
that he is secure For Gen. Grant is
the President; that Republican party
which is the party of the common peo-
! pie, the party of universal suffrage-he
is the President of that party, and every
creature in these years will know that
the power of the Government and the
power of an enlightened Christian pub
lie sentiment will be in favor of the
greatest liberty and the greatest securi-
