CAN'T TALK.

The Post, in commenting on IN item
taken from St. Louis paper, which said
that Gen. Grant could not make speech,
intimates that Gen. Washington could
not either. Now that's not true, as any
who may have read Irving's or any other
standard life of Washington well knows.
But there is u good many things that
Washington and Grant had not in COM
mon. With inferior forces, Washington
exhausted the enemy. With trebly su-
perior forces, such as in the hands OF
man of genius, could have ended the war
in month, Grant butchered thousands,
and accomplished nothing till Sheridan
turned the feeble lines Of Lee, and caus-
ed him to evacuatc his positions. almost
without Grants knowledge. Washington
lived a sober, dignifed and golly life.
Grant was driven from the army for his
debaucheries, and has even degraded his
present high position by drunkenness on
the streets of the Capital. Washington
was man whose honor and integrity are
unmatched in history. Grant stands accus.
ed of an unmanly falsehood by the uncon-
tradicted evidence Of the President and
Cabinet. Washington was all his life active
and decided in politics, with fixed views
and decided opinions. Grant declares
that he has no policy, never took any in
terest in politics, and prefers 10 talk Of
horses, cigars and bull pups. From long
training in public business, intimate
knowledge Of the principles of free gov.
ernment, clear though somewhat too ar
bitrary views of the obligations of individ.
uals to the nation, Washington was emi-
nently fit to govern. Grant has never
given evidence Of possessing any ideas of
political economy never had any training
in public business; never cared about
politics, more than to govern his votes by
his surroundings, and is utterly unfit for
the position of President. Washington
10 Grant is Hyperion to satyr. Such
comparisons are odius, and only bcftting
those who would compare old John Brown
with the Savior of mankind.-Aontana

General McCIernand ON Grant.

The soldiers and sailors of Sangamon
county, veterans Of the late war, who
participated in the work of winning lau-
rels which Gen. Grant appropriates to
himself, held convention at Springfield,
few days since, at which they appoint
ted delegates to represent them at the na-
tional soldiers and sailors convention
which met in New York on the End of
July Gen. McClernand Waa called out
to address them, which he did in a most
able aud eloquent style, and during the
course of his remarks he took occasion to
pay his respects TO Gen. Grant. The fol-
lowing extract from his speech is full Of
vim, and to the point and the purpose: :
Already the thunders of popular in
dignatiou rcverberate from hill aud val
ley, from river and lako throughout the
agitated and distracted republic, and the
ominous handwriting glares upon the
wall, forcboding the overthrow and polit-
ical annihilation Of these arrogant politi.
cal malefactors In their fear and trem.
bling, with blanchcd faces aud stammer-
ing articulation, they are seeking shelter
from the consuming wrath Of the people
under the shield of military chieftain.
But will this avail thcmg Who il this
chieftain Is he proved or known as a
statesman? Is there anything in him TO
make ambition virtuous Comrades, you
know him and know him. His great
ness 10 deception; n thing uninherited,
unaohieved, but thrust upon him. 1t is
a plagiarism Of other mems deserts worn
by HIM as an illftting garment, conceal
ing the wearer's intrinsic littleness-ut-
ter hollowness. Intellectually he is void
of originality of enthusiasm, and at
best and most is but mediocre. His op-
portunities and his profit by them are a
fortuity, compromise between abler and
better men. His passivity and mallea-
bility, together with his public character,
render him a fit instrument in the hands
of the Radicals with which to push their
revolutionary schemes.
AS an aspirant to the Presidency he
should, under existing circumstances, be
viewed as an actual menace to the repub-
lie. Already his candidacy has led to
the practice of political deception in his
interests. His partizans have ceased to
boast that negro suffrage is a genuine re-
publican principles the text of repub-
lican orthodoxy. They have been reti-
cent, like their chief; or, if they should
speak at all, il is with forked tongue
and in a double sense, meaning every
thing or nothing, according to the con-
struOtion put upon their language
(Great applause.) Suoh a man ought
not to be elected to the Presidency. His
election would inaugurate the decadence
and downfall of the republic. 1t would
furnish but another lamentaable In
stance of tho instability of popular gov
crnment. Let US then rally to the rescue,
Let us assist to avert such q calamity
Let us counsel peace and concord and con.
cession among tho friends of the Union,
North and South Let us swear that no
harm shall come to the republic if our
lives, our fortunes, can prevent it,
(Great applause).

It is stated that Mr. D. w. Voorhees,
has consented to be candidate for con.
gress in the Seventh district of Indi-
ana, now represented by member of the
stamped" Washburne family. 1t is
hoped that the statement is true. Mr.
Voorhees, is one of the ablest public men
in the west. If nominated by the dem
ocracy in his district, he will be elected /;
and his election will not only reduce the
number of Washburnes in Congress by
one, but his influence on the side of pop
ular liberty will counterbalance that of
the remaining ten or dozen Washburnes
on the side of Jacobinism.

senator Fow1er's Defence.

Senator Fowler of Tennessee, was one
of the seven radicals who voted against
the impeachment Of President johnson,
and has had his share of abuse from the
radical leaders for so doing. As Senator
Fowler has always been true to his party,
was never anything else but radical,
naturally enough he does not feel ike
tamely submitting to denunciation from
democratic renegades, like Logan, Butler,
& Co. In letter which we find printed
at length in our exchanges, Senator Fow-
Ter says:
"I can have no interest in q scheme to usurp
my government by few bold, bad conspirators.
The whole house Of representatives is under the
lead Of those good old democrats, B. 2. Butler
now that they were in 1850. and before. In onr
house, Wade, Sumner and their satellites lead tho
revolutionary movement here"
It must be humilating to all really hon.
est and sincere radicals, like Senator
Fowler, to reflect that his party are led by
men who were the fast, open, red-mouth-
ed and peculiar friends and apologists of
JEFF. Davis and rebellion in 1860. But
30 it goes. Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ca, who
was the managing operator of Anderson
vile prison, has become leader in the
radical party, and probably has more
friends in that party to-day than Senator
Fowler or any other man who was always
a radical.

GEN. BUFFERS NEW ORLEANS REC
oRD.-Some of the testimony taken by
Jas. 7. Brady and General Badly Smith
has just leaked out. 1t shows, what has
been so frequently alleged, that General
Butler and his brother chartered vessels
for the purpose of sending merchandise
and provisions to the rebels purchased
cotton and sugar of the rebels; run the
blockade, and purchased a vessel for $50,
900 which they chartered to the Govern
ment for $3.50 per day, although the per-
son from which they purchased offered to
charter her for $50 per day.
For these offences General Butler sub
jccted himself to dismissal from the SER
vice and Imprisonment. Instead, there
fore of representing, as squatter, Mas
sachusetts District ip Congfess, Benjamin
r. Butler should have found employment
and lodgings at the Dry Tortugas.-N.

ALL NEGRoEs-Greeley boasts that
the Nothern Methodist Church has been
established in every Southern State, that
it numbers 10000 members in those
States. We are surprised that his fgnres
are not larger. Yet these members are all
negroes. The North should understand
this. The whole Radical party in the South
is negro. The Freedmen's Bureau is the
Radical party machine that is marshalling
and marching the negro. The Radical
speakers when they say "fellow citizens
at public meetings but speak to negroes.
Governor John Brown Wells has no
other audiences but negroes, and receives
bis pay as Governor from the white people
whom he insults. When any of the Rad
ieals talk about "the people" they talk
lbout the negroes" and pope else.
And yet these negroes are the beings
whom northern people will not allow to
vote-who are not permitted by northern
mechanics to work in the same shops
with themselves-Ybo are not permitted
by the Freedmen's Bureau in the South
to be candidates for Congress--and who
are merely used here to help strangers
from the North without character, whom
No fespectable whites will trust, TO gel

words with the BARI ON.

If the President elected by the Democracy en-
forces or permits others to enforce these Recon-
struction Acts, the Radicals, by the accession of
twenty spurious Senators and fifty Representa-
tives, viii control both branches Of Congress- and
his administration viii be powerlcss as the
present one of Mr.. Johnson's.
There Is bat one way to restore the Government
and the Constitution, and that is for the President
elect to declare these acts null and void, compel
the army to undo its usurpations at the South,
disperse the eaFpet-bag State Governments and
elect Senators and Representatives. The House
of Representatives will contain the majority of
Democrats from the North, and they will admit
the Representatives elected by the white people Of
the South, and with the cooperation Of the Pres
ident it will not be difficult to compel the Senate
20 submit once more to the obligations of the
Constitution. It viii not be able to Withstand the
public Judgment If distinctly invoked and clearly
expressed this fundamental issue, and il is the
way to avoid all future strife to put the issue
plainly to the country Frank p. Blair.
