Letter from Gen. Grant.

Gen. Isaac N Morris, an old promi-
nent Democrat Of Quincy, Ill, who
has repeatedly been honored by his
party by being placed In high official
position, having several times represen-
ted his district In Congress, made a
speech IN Quincy recently, in which he
declared that the highest Walfare of
the nation demands the election of
Gen. Grant to the Presidency. His
speech was carefully prepared, and an
able one. Col. Morris read to the
audience the following letter from Gen.
Grant, written In 1864, in reply to
query from himself whether Grant
would accept the Presidential nomina
tion or not:

sire Is to serve the country in her pres

necessary to have the confidence of the

The purpose and spirit Of the infam-
Gus Admizture Act can be realized
better from the history of its enact
ment even than from its unjust aud un-
constitutional provisions. We there
fore copy from the Salem Republican
a resume, compiled from the official
reports, of the proceedings pending its
passage in the two Houses, to which
We invite attention as an example Of
the manner in which the present Leg
islature has trampled upon the Oonsti-
tuition and the rights Of the citizen
The laws disfranchising students and
the MANNED veterans at the Soldiers
Home were enacted in manner equal
ly obnoxious. Let the people who
sustained the var for the Union re-
member that these oppressive and IN
constitutional laws were thrust upon
them in the spirit of veng geanee, and
that whenever their Representatives
attempted TO amend or oppose their
odious features they were insultingly
choked off by the previous question,
and all amendment and discussion pro-
hibited. These things should be
chalked down until after the election.

The Proposed Division Of Texas

Congress can divide Texas into four
states butonly with the consent of the
people and they are not likely to give
their consent at present. The petition
Of the Texas Convention asks that
three states and one territory be form

SQUIRE miles and 200 .060 people 5Ie: |;
Navarro, go, 600 square miles and 400,
600 people Alamo, $1,000 square
mikes and 200, coo people. The pro-
posed territory would have but 5000
people
Few people know what an empire
Texas is 1t would make twenty-five
New Hampshires, or more than five
New 4orks, or nearly SIX Pennsyl-
vanias. It is nearly three times as
large as the island of Great Britain
and nearly half as large again as France.
