WHaE
No ENTHUsIAsM.-Never was there
a nomination for the Preeideneytand
Vice Presidency that fell fatter and
duller.upon the public ear, Than that
of Grant and Colfax.-N. A., Ledger.
McCLELLAN vas great on enthusi-
asm. He never rode along the lines
but what he managed, by some COM
plimentary remark or preconcerted
arrangement, to have the men shout
his praise. Yet, with all the boosted
enthusiasm of his army, MCCLELLAN
never captured Richmond, and when
he retired LEES army was in stronger
force and better condition than when
he first assumed command. General
GRANT on taking command of the
same army, went quietly to his post
of duty. There was no shouting, no
grand military reviews, and no fuss
and feathers. All over the country
the Copperhead papers were droning
dismal predictions Of defeat and dis
aster, because there was. no eathusi-
asm" in the army. Yet, with that
same army, GRANT repeatedly whipped
lee, stormed Richmond and finally
captured the entire rebel army.
Does the New Albany Ledger CLEAN
any comfort from the analogy between
no enthusiasm then and no en-
thusiasm now? We repeat the facts
especially for its benefit.
