Lamentations of Jeremiah.

abuse of the Republican party, concludes
by the following, in which lt9gives up the

uror THE ACCESSION

OfGen. GRANT there will be new par
ties and new party aiignments. The
extreme radicals--the men who forced
upon the south radical reconstruction
will find no sympathiser in Gen. Grant.
Ho was educated Democrat has been
magnanimous in his bearing toward the
South from the day of the surrender
has braved, in that magnanimity, the
malignity ofour bitter foes and will use
the extraordinary powers with which he
will be clothed in melting out even and
impartial justice to all sections. This
we anticipate and this will ally with
Gen. Grant tho democracy Of the coun-
try and the liberal republicans, and ar

tramplcd upon the Constitution that
they might make political ally of the

THE REVOLUTION ACCOMPLISHED.


The N. X. Tribune speaks the truth
OF recent history in stating the great
change accomplished in our political
system. We have now to see how it
will work:
'After seventy-tive years of strug-
gle over the question whether the I'm
ion is a league or nation, and after
fifty years of contest as to the right OF
Of all men to be free, the election Of
Gen. Grant finally seals the restoration
of the Union, and Pounds an indissoiubte
nationality on the basis of universal lib
erts and manhood suffrage. The next
four years may be occupied in part in
getting the machinery of our new sys-
tenn into harmonious operation. But the
principles on which our nation is now
based admit of no further dispute. We
are one undesirable nation; all inhabi-
tants are. or may become, citizens, all
citizens have equal political rights, and
all adult male citizens have equal politi-
cal rights. In 1860, none of these
propositions were true. In 1864, two
millions of men were in the field, con-
tending on the one side for, and on the
other against them. In 1868, they arc
settled forever by the election of Grant
on the Chicago platform. Snch re-
formation in our Constitution when
viewed in all its aspects is infinitely
more important to the American people
and TO mankind, than our change from
Colonies into independent States, or our
adoption of the Federal Constitution"

LANDS ALONG TIE PoToMAC RlVER.-IVe
may say that word which will attract the
Northern man in search Of home in the
South. There are thousands of New England
farmers working hard on their sterile lands, and
getting scanty support, who could, with a
little money, judciously expended, on either
branch of the Potomac make themselves in q
very short time elegant homes, and obtain for
themselves and their families retreat where
all the Injuries and comforts OF life might
abound. Farming and gardening upon the
lands along the line OF this river can be render
ed very profitable It only requires industry,
such as the New England husbandmen knows
how to use and command, to secure in this
country, ease, prosperity and wealth. Every
thing that the land can produce will find Q
ready market in Washington, Georgetown and
Alexandria Steamers will run daily and at
hours which will render it convenient Tor all
purposes of pleasure and business. Fash. Rep.
