WHETHER Grant is learned or un-
learned we scarcely know; whether
he has the sensibility which delights
in the beauties of nature and art, or
the aspiration which would master
every science, we are not informed :;
he may, like Washington, prefer
horses to the muses. or he may, like
Jackson, take an interest in SO vul-
gar a thing as a cock-fight; but
whatever his taste in these respects,
we are quite certain, from the facts
of his career, that he is not an igno-
ramus, for that sort hardly get
through West Point; that he is not
wholly illiterate, for the style Of his
letters proves that; that he has ex-
cellent sense, for he accomplishes
what he undertakes that he is honest
and true, for he has never yet waver-
ed in the discharge Of his duty; in
short, that he is a sound practical
genius, who sees what is to be done
and does it; and therefore a good
typical American, whom other
Americans will forgive though he
be not endowed and adorned with
all the brilliancy of the schools.-N.

"CRUSH THE NIGGER."

=
This seems to be the unanimous
cry Of the members of the Demo-
cratic party. The history of human
progress will record that this party
was the admirer and advocate of
the Fugitive Slave Law, and of
African Slavery. 1t will also record
that this same party has steadily and
relentlessly opposed the comforting
of single priyilege-political or
civil--upon this unfortunate race.
This party, having failed to keep
the African race in cruel slavery,
would now gladly Witness their total
determination. Indeed, so far as it
lies in their power, they wage mer-
ciless war upon the negroes of the
whole country, that would be some
what excusable in heathens, but is
utterly unjustifiable in a people, not
only civilized, but making preten-
sions of high moral attainments.
And what is still more. astonishing.
is the fact, that large class of our
fellow Citizens, who make profess
sions Of Christianity, and pretend to
take the great law Of justice and
mercy for their guide, cooperate
with this dishonorable party. We
do not pretend to be a judge of
mems religion, this not being. our
province, but there are inconsisten-
cies SO gross that irresistably come
to our notice. How can men, who
profess to take the Bible for their
infallible guide, cooperate with the
Democratic party in their cruel,
heathenish war upon an unfortunate
race-not because they have COM
mitted crimes, or are voluntary ig-
norant, but because they are black
by Gods willard reconcile their
conduct with the great injunction /:
"Let us do good unto ALL men," T.
We judge men by their real merits,
not by their height, complexion,
birth or nationality. We advocate
the doctrine that encourages all men
to make the most Of themselves,
holding them responsible to. the
laws, to society, and to the God who
made them. ~ '-~ 3iti
Equal and exact justice to all men
is the voice Of God, and they who
resist will as surely fall in the con
test - those who waged war agains

THE generous Republicans Of the
city of Columbus, through their
Union Club, have issued the follow
ing proclamation to the Republicans
of Ohio. We commend its perusal
and admire its noble spirit:

The State Central Committee of
Ohio having issued call for con-
vention, to be held at Columbus, on
the 4th of March next, a committee
of the Union members of the Gen
eral Assembly have, in a brief ad-
dress, advised the sending of large
delegations, on that day, of the 10y
al and patriotic people ofOhio.
Heartily eoncurring with, and in
response to, such action, the Union
Club of Columbus has instructed its
Executive Committee to tender to
the people of the Republican politi-
cal faith, throughout the State, an
invitation to come up to the ap-
preaching Convention, without re-
gard to numbers, pledging that, in
whatever numbers they may come,
they shall receive a hearty and cor
dial welcome, and that all the hos
pitalfties Of the Union citizens of
Columbus will be most cheerfully
rendered to them. 81 9ase. y
The growing interest and enthusi-
asm now being manifested through
out the land, in the cause Of the
great Union Republican party, not
only indicates the coming of glo-
rious triumph in the impending po-
litical campaign, but renders it GER
tain that the Convention, which is
to inaugurate that cam paign, will be
one of absorbing interest and of the
great Importance. "oa "i .easet.
The Union Club Rooms, corner
of High and State streets, will be
open night and day during the Con
vention and on the day previous,
and all in attendance who desire ac-
commodations are requested to re-
port there. - -.r -4 --tfe

Fdo not exactly see how it IS in the
power of his fellow birds to place
him there. If he falls foul of them
with his spurs for their refusal, we
do not know what they can do, bet
ter than to spread their light pin
ions and leave him on his dunghill.
The same paper in later number,
18th inst, adds:
Vallandingham is vulgar politi-
clan, who is half inordinate vanity
and half. inordinate selfishness.-
There is nothing else ofhim, except
the capital which Lincoln and Burn
side set him up in business with, as
a martyr. On that capital he traded
till he had bankrupted himself and
nearly bankrupted his party in
Ohio. Now Thurman is sent to the
Senate, and Vallandigham hates
him. Now Pendleton is Ohio's
choice for the Presidency, and Val
landigham hates him. The victories
of Miltiades will not suffer him to
sleep. But instead Of emulating
the sterling worth, the patriotism,
or the public services Of Pendleton,
this envious creature whets dagger
for his ribs, gnashes his teeth, and
informs the country that "the result
in the Eighth District has a most
Important bearing on the Presiden

Hon. WILLIAM WILLIAMS will ac-
cept our thanks for a copy of his
speech delivered in the House Of
Representatives on the 25th ult.
He pays the following beautiful
tribute to Radicalism: ~a ta
"What. has radicalism done? It
was radicalism that furnished the
men and money to carry on the
war: it was radicalism that built
the proudest navy that floats upon
the waters of the earth it was rad
icalism that carried on this great
war and put down the rebellion it
is radicalism, the great progressive
civilization of the age, that is to-day
building the Pacific railroad, the
great iron artery Of commerce that
connects the two oceans, and in less
than two years more, under this
great progressive radical policy, you
will see the brazen steed, as lie
climbs the towering SUBMITS of the
Rocky mountains, conveying to the
great commercial metropolis of the
East the products of the mines of
the Pacific and carrying back the
work of the artists and mechanics
Of the great North. Radicalism will
yet nail upon the top of that great
ice column of Alaska the flag of the
American Union. It is radicalism
that is establishing in the revolted
provinces in the South, desolated
by war, the school-house where the
slave-pen stood, and which will, un-
der the productive energies of free
labor, make that great country what
God designed it to be-the Eden of
the American Union.''
The eloquent speaker concludes
thus: ..a,.. ..-.-.-, -----...
"Mr. Chairman, while we sit here
in the Council Chamber of the nation
and hear the voice of the people
saying to us, Stand by the integrity
Of the Government; stand by the
great principle of liberty we hear,
also, whispers coming from the
graves of three hundred thousand
patriots, martyrs for liberty, saying,
DO not dishonor the brave who
fell in defense of their country S
flag When the hosts of freedom
shall marshal their battallions for
the approaching political struggle,
Democratic politicians may well ex-
claim, 'Oh, that we had the wings
of the morning, that we might fly to
the uttermost parts of the earth,
where no radical shall disturb the
repose of our ignoble remains. t.
"Mr. Chairman, have great faith
in the future Of the Republic L am
one of those who believe there is a
Providence that controls it. I be-
lieye the same great right arm that
enabled Washington to wrest the
sword from the hand of Britain's 8
chieftain and nerved the arm of the
gallant Meade with our patriot sol
diers to place the crowning cap of
victory on the smoking summit OF
Gettysburg, will still preserve party
faithful to liberty, justice, and hui
manity. .-g VI .ls -.
Liberty crushed to earth shall rise again
The eternal years of God are hers;
But treason, wounded writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshippers.' t.r

.BRowNsToWN IND, August 13.-The
Circuit Court Of Jackson county Hon.
g. A. Bicknell presiding, had before it to-
day the case of the robbers of the Adams Ex-
press Company, Mike Calleran and Wall
Hammond, charged with robbing the COM
pany by jumping on the express car and
overpoweriBg the messenger, on the night
of September s, 1867, near Seymour, Ind.
Both prisoners we're defended by the noto-
rious Jason Brown, the celebrated thieves
lawyer, Of Jackson county, whose boast is,
that no thief whom he defended has ever
been convicted.
Calleran, however, in Opposition to the
advice of his counsel, entered a plea Of
guilty, and was sentenced by the court to
FIVE years in the penitentisry and fine Of
FIVE hundred dollars Hammonds, under
the advice of his counsel, applied for a
continuance, which, under the statutes Of
Indiana, the court had no power to over
rule, and it was accordingly granted. e..
Jason Brown has gained an nnenyiable
notoriety as defender Of the Renos, and
the very worst class of murderers, assassins
and thieves.
The Vigilance Committee had given up
all further attention to criminal cases, re-
lying on the court being able to enforce
order. This now, however, upsetts all, az
Calleran was willing TO take the witness
stand and testify in regard to Hammond's
completely with him in the robbery above
alluded to, 1t now appears as though the
Vigilance Committee would have 70 again
take affairs into their own hands, and mete
out summary punishment on the thieves
and the thieves counsel.
