a RADICAL PROTEST AGAINST THE
NOMINATION. OK GRANT.

Some exponent of Radical sentiment at
Washington writes a long letter to the
Columbus Journal, the Radical organ at the
capital of Ohio, in which he protests
against the nomination of Gen. Grant, and
gives divers reasons why he should not be
selected by the Radical party as their can
didate He says:
81 regard him an unavailable candidate
for the following reasons, viz:
81. He has never, by word or line, given
proof of his being, in political belief,
Radical Republican.
90. He wrote to Mr.. Washburne, or some
body else, during the war, that he never
was an Abolitionist-'not even what was
called anti.slavery!
'3. After the meeting Of the thirty
COngress-two years ago-he wrote letter
in support of Johnsoa's policy, which was
denounced in Congress by Senator Summer
as withdrawing letter-Rhite-washi
the Southern Rebels, and trying 10 gal7an-
ize them into noble, chivarous patriots by
the epistolary process.
"A. He has given no incontFoVertible
evidence from that period to this, that he
believes in the policy of Congressional re-
construction, or does not believe in the poll
cy of johnson.
IS. His opinions are wholly unknown on
finance, the tariff, national banks, green
backs, or, in fact, anything else.
&c. For these and other reasons, the inn
mense Quaker vote, heretofore thrown with
the Republican party, will not be brought

his political status has become 20 chronic
that very large Radical vote, especially
among the Germans and throughout the
Senth, could never be induced TO support
him.
"The yicarions disclosure of his political

thinking masses demand sterner stuff than

quarters concerning his personal habits,

Mr.. Raymond's New York Times, and
Thurlow Weeds Commercial Advertiser,

friend, man sufficiently not Republican

moreover, the loss of the Quaker vote alone
