Just been making its giantie round through
the vast states and territories of our mighty
neighbor towards the East, has abated by
this time. The Great Presidential battle Is
decided and General Grant has been elected
President by large majority. The election
having been conducted in entire accordance
with law and the provisions of the Constitu-
ton, there is no doubt but that the waves Of
politics, which have been running high over
there of late, viii gradually sink down to its
natural level.
In responee to a serenade at Galena on the
9th of November Gen. Grant made the fol-

position feel but / accept il without fear,
II 1 can have the same support which has
been given me thus far. thank you and all
Others who have fought together in this con-
ally as much, perhaps, and more than l am.

wears to come, although il would give me
great pleasure to make an annual pilgrimage
to the place where have enjoyed myself SO

All the Journals have editorials on the re-
suit of the Presidential election In the Uni
ted States. The Fdtrie says that Gen. Grant

ton OF victories over the South. The mis-
sion of General Grant is difficult one He
will find il necessary 10 oppose Congress,
and the affairs of the country require strong
and able hand 10 repair the broken links of
liberty Both continents have reason TO be
pleased with the result. General Grant is
worthy the succession of Washington.

Adams.

publican party is triumph of Capitalization.

be elected chief ofa great power, while the
nations of Europe seek peace.

are beaten and Representatives in Congress
largely against them, they are yet powerful
party and must greatly influence the policy
of the Government. The success of Gen.
Grant no one is disposed TO regret. He has
fairly won his high rank by hard work, real
devotion to his country, and services which
will live long in its remembrance. He is no
politician, and will take his Office with great
err freedom as the hero of a hundred battles
than If he uttered all the snibboleths OF party.
