greatest curse to our people during
these latter years has been, and yet is,
these pernicious, personal Presidential
policies, commencing with Pearee on
territorial s1bordination to slavery,
continuing with Buchanan's Lecomp-
tonism, and ending Johnson on recon
struction. These have done more to
disturb the peace, impair the credit,
and threaten the stability of our free
institutions, than almost all other
causes combined. Under Gen. Grant
the MY Policy" business at Washing
ton will stop, it is to be hoped, forever.
Then the peoples policy, constitution
ally expressed, will be the law and the
prophets undisturbed by counter pol
icies emanating from the One Man
Power Mt the White House And then,
too, the land will have rest.
We affirm, therefore, without the
fear of successful controversions, that
even as a statesman, wise in council and
safe in action, Ulysses S. Grant stands
head and shoulders above Horatio Sey
mour, and we are satisfied to let the in
exorable logic of the future prove the
correctness, ar otherwise of our opin-
ions.

The N. Y Tribune has by Cable q
full account of the banquet given on
Thurday night, at Liverpool, to Rev
erdy Johnson. Among the celebrities
present were Lord Stanley and Mr..
Gladstone. Mr.. johnson, as usual
spoke of the everlasting peace that
should exist between England and the
United States, and that should not be
disturbed by any past differences.
There is not the remotest reference in
his speech to the immense losses which
America has suffered in the late war !;
Mr.. johnson, in fact, seems to think
that England had been offended by
America, and that it is she, and not the
United States, that must be appeas.d.
He knew, he said, that the wisdom,
sense, and patriotism of the people of
Liverpool would cause them to forget
the late past. He went even further
than at Sheffield. He grasped the hand
of Mr. Laird the builder of the Ala
bama, shook it cordially, and the two
held each other by the hand while ex
changing some words. This fact will
be read with a thrill of Indignation in
oil the loyal States of the Union.
There is no indication whatever that
men like Laird, Roebuck, and Lord
Wharncliffe have in the least changed
their sentiments toward our people and
our institutions. On the contrary,
everything indicates that any new re-
bellion in the United States would at
once enlist their most valuable aid. 1t
is unworthy of an American Minister
to appear in public as the intimate
friend of the worst and most implaca-
BILE enemies of his country.

GRANT AS A STATESMAN.

Ulysses S. Grant, we contend, what
ever his political opponents may de-
ridley assert to the contrary, has afford
ded the most indubitable proofs that he
possesses a capacity to comprehend
questions and duties of civil policy
quite as readily and rs satisfactorily as
he glasps those of a military nature.
l. His negotiations at the surrender
of Lee were fully as fraught with the
knowledge and wisdom of the civilian
as his battles with Lee had been mark
ed by the sagacity and courage of the
soldier
H. The war over, he was as success
full in disbanding our great armies as
he had been in creating them. The
skill he displayed in this difficult work
excited admiration and surprise even in
foreign countries.
LII. His resume of the events of the
war, from it's inception to its close,
made in official report to Secretary
Stanton-one of the most intricate and
difficult documents ever penned by the
hand of man-was such an extraordi-
nary specimen of civic genius as had
not had its equal IN the governmental
literature of any nation.
". His administration of the War
Office-not military, but civil bu-
reau--brief though it was, extorted the
homage of friend and foe. All CON
fessed that better War Minister the
country had never had.
Y. His testimony, on closest cross
examination, before the Congressional
Reconstruction Committee, displayed a
knowledge of the true functions of
every department of our government,
with which the Oldest and wise heads in
Congress could find no fault.
The best critics in the country are
forced to admit that General Grants
Interpretation of the American form of
government are eminently patriotic,
sound and just; such as, If carried out,
cannot fail to bring peace and prosper
ity to all sections OF the country, and
conduce greatly to the elevation OF oui
national fame at home and abroad. He
has never said, as his enemies falsely
affirm, that, if chosen the Chief Magis-
trate, he would have no policy OF his
own. or, in other words, that he would
be content to serve as mere antoma
ton to others. This would be as unlike
Grant as light is unlike darkness. What
he did say was this THAT, If elected
he would have no policy of his own tt
enfore against the constitntionality de
clared will of the American people
than which, we hold, it would be I'M
possible to frame truer compendium
of the legitimate functions of the Exc

VAN BuREN ITEMS.

EDS JEFF We on the Northern
borders of the County, shall hereaf-
ter be heard from in our march of
progress, or misfortune, as the case
may be. The present cold weather
and exceedingly unpleasant roads,
have rendered business in our little
town somewhat dull. Notwithstand-
ing, our business men, mechanics,
&c., seem to have more or less "biz'
to keep them on the move. Yet all
are alike in wishing for more snow,
that our little village may again be
seen busy in every line Of trade, traf-
fic and commerce.
We are exceedingly glad to wei
come to Van Buren one of your
townsmen, Rev. Mr.. Temple, who is
about to engage in business here.
We greet him with a welcome, as we
need him as mechanic, and we want
him as a moral Christian neighbor.
Yet while we happily record the
coming of one good man, and useful
mechanic, we regret to say that an
other .sleayeth." Our old friend, and
fellow townsman, c. S. Wilkinson, is
about to close out his boot and shoe
business, and retire to his farm in
the country; yet this will be but a
matter of time, as be has a number
of times before left our village appar-
emily in disgust. But alas he COM
eth again.

upper sanduskv Poisoning Cas-

Upper sandusky Poisoning Case.
| We have been unable to learn but
little farther than what we gave last
week in regard to the Upper Sandus-
ky poisoning case.
The examination before the JUS
tice in that town closed Friday last
and she was admitted to bail in the
sum of $4,000. In the examination
the State had several witnesses, one
of whom gave testimony very import
ant and interesting. This witness, a
gentleman whose family was some
what intimate with the accused wo-
man, Mrs. Bowsher, testified, as we
learn, that some eighteen months ago
the woman approached him and said
she wanted to get rid of her five
children, and enquired of him If she
could not poison them. He told her
that she she could not do it without
getting caught, for if she bought ar
senic her name, description, etc,
would have to be taken. She then
told him that she could get the ar
senic from her brother-in-law in
Fort Wayne, and administer it at
different times so as not to create
suspicion. The witness testified
that he did not consider the woman
in earnest. He further stated that
when the five children died he suspec-
ted the woman but did not feel like
making it known. He kept the mat
ter to himself till the Last or those
poisoned died and then he told his
wife of the above conversation and
informed several prominent men of
it, but always under promise of sec
resy. 1t was also brought out that
Mrs. Bowsher did receive package
from Ft. Wayne. but it had not been
ascertSlned what it was. She claims
that it was pound of sugar. The
defence in the case brought forward
but few Witnesses, preferring to wait
for the trial before the Court.
The affair is horrible one, and the
feeling against the woman intense.
Her appearance while on examina-
tion was bad; she was Indifferent and
brazen.
