held by the Simon Pures = the respecta-
bility of the party, with our neighbor al
its head - over a stray portrait of Gen
Grant, which reached that Office some
two weeks ago. The silent and harmless
portrait of the patriotic hero was badly
punished for the crime committed by its
living prototype, in threshing the rebel
Democracy of the South and in refusing
to second \. j. in his treason. But our
neighbor had good excuse for not giving
the transaction publicity through his col
umns. The deed was viliainously dirty
one, and they should be, as we hope they
are, ashamed of it We may ventilate
the subject more at length in the future.

Democratic Opinion of General Grant.


Two weeks ago we gave publicity to j.
b. Storms = the Chairman of the Demo
cratic County Committee for this County
= exalted opinion of Gen. Grant, enter
tanned some three months before his no.
mination for the Presidency, and when
he held precisely the same political opin-
ions and notions of policy that he does
now. Last week we gave an extract from
the New York World" wherein that
organ of Democracy, pure and simple,
proved conclusively that no man had
given stronger evidence of great general
ship or exalted craftsmanship than had
Gen. Grant. In continuance Of these
extracts from Democratic authorities,
which VIC propose to continue until the
close of the campaign, we Gull the follow
ing from the Pittsburg Post" one Of
the most respectable of the Democratic
newspapers published in Pennsylvania
"Suppose that, contrary to the wish oi
some of the leading Radical Black Republi
cans, who want the Office themselves
Gen. Grant should be nominated for the
Presidency by the Republican party,
what course, ought the Democratic party
to pursue !!

charge him with being an enemy to his
country, or in favor of unjust measures,
merely because he may have received

of the Union.
What better thing can we do in case
of General Grants nomination by the
Republican party than to Dote for him for
the Presidency? Our aim should be to
strengthen his hands to render him as
much as possible Independent of party
and to elect him as the President oftht
people. If unanimously, so much the
| better.
We solemnly believe that if the people
generally Of the United States can come
together with real unanimity on General
Grant, in regard to the Presidency, it will
be the happiest thing for our country
that could possibly occur. The future
good effects Of this course are almost in.

cratic friends everywhere to consider this
subject carefully"
If Republican editors would conclude
to publish nothing in favor of the Gene

from Democratic journals, published with
in the last three years, they would raise
a pyramid of argument which could not
possibly fail to elect him. The labor OF

A CoNrRAsr.-While Johnson, the represent.
ative in Congress from our own District, has de-
voted most of his term to the passage of meas
ures detrimental to the great mass of his con-
stituents and favorable to land-grabbers and the
settlers enemy, United States Senator Cole has
been laboring to carry through measures which
would result benefcially to the people he repre-
sents. To him we are indebted for the removal
of the stringent law relative to the distillation
of spirits from grapes, apples, peaches, ETC.,
which demanded tax of $4OO, and ST. per bar
rel, besides. The Secretary of the Treasury was
telegraphed to in regard to the matter he had
the power to remove the tax, but refused to dc
it. Senator Cole went East about three weeks
ago, and by q persistent showing of the onerous
workings of the tax in California, succeeded in
convincing the Secretary of the injustice of his
construction of the law, for telegram was re-
ceived announcing that the special tax had been
removed. Senator Cole will receive the thanks
of hundreds for this good service done.
