No- need the South fear Grant. he is
The fool Ire IS said TO be. He is not the

H.. does not side with Johnson because he
,.es the South or loves negroes, but
because Johnson represents constitution
s.isel, and his game is outside and above
he Constitution. He is seeking domi-
NON. and he has almost graSped it.
Whether the wisdom, which has led him so
ar &c his OWE or another'S, the fact re-
maius-Graat is the power in this country.
Call i, fortune, lrck, what else you will, it
does no; change the result.
re wil! use the Radical party as step
r.ge-stone TO the imperial purple, and
:1rn he VII s!rangle it. He is a man
-Aised up Of God for that purpose. He is
ycmo-seless. His heart is hiut. His will
j adamant. His tondness for horses, for
dogs, and cigars, his bad grammar, his 81
.~acc, bis ignorance, all, do not the least
aaa; him for the part he has to play. When
the ,1r-7icr deS Flats UniS said, in quiet
drri>.on, che talks little and thinks less"
+ uttered q good joke, which all enjoyed.
Be-, those who will be at pains to look
1ck little will remember two important
acts in this lucky fools" history. First,
lie accepted the command Of the armies Of
ne United States on condition that he
Ioad iauc absolute control of them. Sc
a'a4, TIC has pcrsistentiy refused 10 stand
~pan any Republican platform, and has
erced that party to make him their can
E.aAte 'rith0ut any public pledge ,olatSoeuer.
These two, put with many other things,
rove that Grant is for himself and no one
.,c.
He is no ordinary man. He who would
an his legions against Bragg entrcnched
"a Lookout mountain; who strewed the
u.v OF march from Rapidan to the James
VII 10000 dead and dying; who, at the
second Cold Harbor, allowed his wounded
.lor..,h in agonies rather than admit j
defeat by sending q flag OF truce to Lee;
aal VINO, 10 carry his point, accepted with
OIL hesitation the awful responsibility of
starving ten thousand Of his fellow-couu-
.-ymeu at AndersOnyille he who would do
..s. and would play the terrible game of
war Is rcckle>sly and coolly as he was
wont to play the game Of faro in the days
@. his pcnury, is just the man to trample
State or throttle Continent if that State
~ thai Continent stood in the way Of his
ambition. Sclf-contained and pitiless, he
], lie uan OF al others in America to
master, pat down, keep down, and tram
p.e out Of existence the Radical party.
What il, In so doing, it be necessary to
tc.uge New England or the West with
blood That would please him well. No
hing better.
Bat he has taken sides with the negro,
aid vii! grind the whites of the South IN
ier lis heel. Not he. His danger lies
no; that way. The South is unarmed,
and naturally disposed, as a choice of
evils, to prefer Imperialism to fanatical
demagoeuery. The West is FESTIVE, and
New England mischievouS: But the mo-
mcut the West perceives tina. the struggle
aas begun between Grant and Congress it
wll side with Grant. President in name
int Emperor ia fact, he will then easily
oyermaSter New England by the simple
threat Of putting his armies in motion. In
This way, and this alone, bloodshed may be
ayeried and the revolution now in progress
be accomplished peaceably. The Repub-
lie will have disappeared, the Empire will
have taken its place. We will not have
good government, but we will have the
best possible under the circumstances, and
Is good as most governments in Europe.
All sections, all classes, both races, will
be Kept in subsection. The land will re-
pose, the fruits Of industry will be gath
e'ed-ciyil liberty will be extinct, but
there will be fair share of personal
liberty 10 those who behave themselves.
Therefore We hope that Grant will be
Emperor.
