THE Now York Herdid, which has
always been friendly TO General
Grant, and which first nominated
him for President, now says:
"The Washington correspondents
say that General Grant has been la
boring to get the President convicted
and removed, and one of the reports
is that he visited Senator Ross as late
rs twelve O'Clock Friday night--the
night before the vote was taken in
the Senate on impeachment--for the
purpose of trying the power Of pur-
suasion upon that Senator. If this
be true, General Grant has brought
disgrace upon his name and the high
position he holds in the estimation ot
all who love fair play and Justice -
His great military fame will not save
him from the odium of such conduct.
The reports are so direct and circum-
stantial that he can not escape the
consequences unless he publicly de
cleares they are not true. What does
General Grant say 2 Has he been us
ing influence upon members of the
High Court of Impeachment to force
a verdict of conviction against the
President of the United States Let
us have the truth"

The Chicago Times, which took
this affair under its direction from the
beginning, thus notices its closing
scenes. 1t says:
"From opening to close, it has been
emphatically a tame affair. 1t has
failed to elicit any cordial response
from the popular heart. Like the ac-
cidental hero placed in nomination
for an office for which he is unfit by
nature, hy education, by experience,
and by lack of brains, IL has been o
cold, dull, lifeless, apathetic, stoiid
expression of the negative side of hui
man nature. The heart of the people
is not i'm it.
"When it was announced that Gen
eral Grant had been unanimously
nominated as the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency, perhaps
about hundred voices raised three
cheers, but not more than that num-
ber. Perceiving that the announce
ment fell upon very passionless and
undemonstrative individuals, the DR.
made a short speech, and wound up
by proposing three cheers for the Ga
lena Tanner which Were given with
but little more rim than the proceed
ing rounds. Satisfied, however, with
his work, the Doctor stepped back a
pace from his stand, took fresh look
at the audinnce, and said, Green

And then to st. Peters to open the court,
The Judges and jury and counsel resort:
And good christian people, with wide open
ears,
Are waiting TO hear priest tried by his
peers.
And they call up the case, and the lawyers
begin
To indulge in their usual professional din,
And by bitter invective and bubble and

To show what mass of corruption is here:
And really It's shocking! what charges they
bring,
As they peal the loud slogan of Tyng-a-

And. by dint of assistance from Boggs and

The canon is dug from the rubbish which

It's ugly old muzZle; and loud are the jokes
Which its obsolete pattern and straight

Excite in the crowd who are waiting Its

And then they compel our good Bishop of

To hear all the grievance, and stand all the

And by night and by day dreary changes

As they chime their sad anthem of Tyng-a-

And good men lose temper and revel in

such suits.
Cry Lo, these are Christians! come Judge

And the canon has BURST and with disso-

Has deafened the ears of the wondering

And the pail of its smoke like garment

To the walls that still echo with Tyng-a-

The Elk advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Elk Co., Pa.) 186?-1868, 1868-10-30

The principles of the Democratic
party are adverse to the government OF
the people by the people. Their party
organs argue il favor OF putting the ap-
pointiVe in the hands of the President
alone claiming that Congress has no
right to hold the President in check,
by opposing his improper appointments.
If this does not mean the organization
of strong central government, the
power of which is to be rested in one
man, contrary to the provisions of the
Constitution, we confess that we are at
loss in regard to its real meaning. If
any man, therefore desires to live under
a government democratic in name but
despotic in reality, let him vote for
Seymour and Blair.

MR.. SEY1NOLR'S PLEA.

The popular verdict in .he three
| great Middle States having leen ad-
verse to Mr.. Seymour's aspirations for
the Presidency, he has in desperation
taken the stump, and is travelling
through the country, soliciting the
votes OF the people for the highest Office
in their gift. In this electioneering
tour Mr.. Seymour has already made two
elaborate speeches, at Buffalo and Cleve-
and, in which his principal argument
is, that if his party is successful, it can.
not do much harm. The elections al.
ready held show that the Republi cans
will retain their Congressional majority,
and Mr.. Seymour begs for office on the
9.-"-1 'h"t, no Cnngrnus will not allow
MIN TO carry out the Revolutionary nr;,.
I "'p'1s Vi LIS party, he will thus, at all
events, be powerless for evil.
1t may safely be said the Presiden>
tlal office was never before degraded by
such abject mendicanoy, but Mr. sey-
mour's reasoning is its own best confu.
tation. Since the assassination of Mr..
Lincoln, the country has had ample op.
portunity to observe the countless evils
of a divided Government in which the
Legislature and the Executive are an
ta3onistic. Only the institutions as
strong as ours have proved themselves
to be, could have survived the fearful
strain to which they have thus been ex-
posed, and it is doubtful whether even
they could endure prolongation of this
conflict for four years more. Besides
this, every interest, material and moral.
of the country is suffering under uncer.
tainty inseparable from this perpetual
strife within the Government. What
the people want is peace and quiet
Elect Grant aud every section of the
Union settles down to the certainty of
line of policy, to which it speedily &C.
commodities itself; political excitement
subsides, and the energies of the com.
munity are directed to industrial ad-
vancement and repairing the losses and
destruction of the war. Elect Seymour.
and for four years more we are exposed
to all the horrors of uncertainty polit. |
lcal excitement daily increases, and the |
constant antagonism between the depart |
ments of the Government threatens the |
most fearful complications. This may |
be desirable for politicians: whose impor.
tance is dependent upon strife and tur.
moil, but to the people, dependent upon
Lreir industry for support, it means want
and poverty, and the eventual failure of
free institutions.
Admitting the truth of all the pacific
protestations conveyed in Mr. Seymour's
honied phrases, it is therefore evident
rom his own showing that his election
would be the greatest misfortune that
could befal the country. The political
complexion of the next Congress is al
'eady settled by the people, and to
choose President opposed to that ma,
ority would be bluuder of which the
political sagacity of Americans can nev>
II be guilty.
