UNDER WHICH KING-s

During the past week we have received .
circular 10 which IS attached the names Of
Alex. t. Stewart, VIM. b. Astcr, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Hamilton Fish ard other exteu-
siye patriot bondholders, announcing the fact
that at recent meeting of the thinking
people" OF New York, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
was placed in nomination as the candidate OF
the people, Irrespective of party, for the Of
fee Of PRESIDENT or rHE UNITED SrArEs and
asking to hear our views and be informed Of
the state Of the public mind in this district
respecting the movement.
In reply, we state the Advocate recog-
nises no ference between the claims Of
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and those Of any other
toady Of the monied aristoeracy. Before the
working classes commit themselves to the
support of any candidate for the highest
Office within the gift Of the American people,
they desire to know the nature of the plat
form and principles he is pledged to carry
out. If Gen. Grant or any other general ex
poets their suffrage, while persistent silence
is maintained on those vital questions which
Pffect their best interests, be will find he has
counted without his host. No non-commlt-
tai policy can succeed. The people want to
know why it is that Alex. I. Stewart is will
ling to spend million Of dollars to secure
the election of Gen. Grant in preferences to
any other candidate? or why the bond-hold-
ers, without exception, are clamorous IN his
behalfI These are pertinent questions, and
the sooner they are satisfactorily answered,
the better for himself and the country at
large.
If Gen. Grant is in sympathy with TIE
PEoPLE, and opposed to the iniquitous 6nan-
eial schemes Of our present party leaders, let
Aln announce the fact, and the people will
rally as one man, under his standard. II,
however, he prefers to cast his lot With the
usurers and robbers who are bringing the
country 10 the verge Of ruin, he has no favors
to expect at their hands. Pups. horses and
cigars are very well in their place, but
other and more momentous subjects demand
the attention Of the pilot, who assumes con-
troll Of tbs ship of state. There can be no
such thing as ''neutrality" in the contest
upon which we are about to enter. He who
is not for Us is against US and principles
not men, must be the rallying cry. Discre-
ton is sometimes the better part of valOr,
but a studied reticinence at the present time,
forbodes, we fear, no good for the great
masses Of the people.
Ia CONCLUSION, tAs ADvocArB al support
the devil 90 a PEOPLES Platform in prefer
ence TO Gen. Grant or Gabriel on platform
framed 10y the bond-holders. What princi-
pies the platform referred to contains, may
be learned b. referring to the proceedings Of
the late National Labor Congress.
