Sherman was Crazy because lie had certain
IDEAS. Grant knew him from the first and
always trusted him, and the result proves his
sagacity. Gallant Phil. Sheridan was
not much of a success until Grant took him
| up.o He served out West with a small COM
mand until Grant brought him back and
gave him. his cavalry command, and then
the world found out that Grant knew
great soldier. And SO he leaned up
ION the great Schofeld,, the gallant
Thomas and the noble Meade. I might
name a roll Of men whom he dropped off one
| by one and they we're heard OF no more. He
had around him Sherman. Thomas, Schofield
| Sheridan and such men, and they not only
obeyed him but they loved him. 49, bia.
In 1868, Sherman might well have said,
II ought to be leader of the army" In fact,
we knew more about Sherman than! we did
| about Grant. He was able and ambitious,
and why did he not say he ought to have
Grants place. Sherman believed in him and
told him to take care of himselfand he would
| do the country great service. Do you sup
pose Sherman was deceived. and gave sub
mission to an inferior man,, In December
1868, Sherman wrote letter to Gen. Grant
in which he told him he would be the great
man Of the war, and in the closing scenes
when somebody must heal the breaches
made by the war. People say that lhe docs
not amount to anything. and yet great gene
rails submit to him and love him. He says
he will administer the laws in. good faith.
He is as generous as man can be, impartial,
{ eyen-tempered, never disturbed, never over
angry. q He is the. man to give us peace.
There has been no man since the time of
Washington so well calculated to give us
peace as Gen. Grant. Twenty-four hours after
the telegraph tells us that Grant is elected,
these threats will cease.a Quiet and conf
dence will be restored, and North Carolina

10 be the determination of the Nova Sco,ians,
falling to obtain repeal of the Act of Union
with Canada, TO seek forth with place in tue
American republic. Prior to leaving England
the delegates addressed protest to the British
Government against the decision that had been
arrived at in the case in which they broadly
hint that one of the probable consequences OF
refusal to grant the petition of the Nova Scotians
for repeal will be the loss of the province to Eng
land. This protest, which has been published in
the newspapers here, Is quite remarkable docu-
ment, temperately worded, and dienl6ed in its
tone, but strong in its irrefragable logic, and
strkingly bold Ia the assertion of the rights of
the people TO govern themselves. With refer
ence to the decision of the House OF Commons
on the motion made by Mr.. Bright on the night
OF the 10th June last, for a commission to inquire
into the complaints of the Nova Scotians, the
delegates say in the protest:-"As that decision
may affect The loyalty of noble province, and
be followed by events of historical importance,
the undersigned, on personal grounds, desire
to shake themselves clear Of the responsibility
which the House of Parliament, acting under
the guidance OF her Malestys Government, has
assumed" The protest then alludes significantly
to the United States in the folio wing
language: - "Tbe arsenals and docks OF
Boston and Portsmouth are within 80 hours
sail of Halifax, and behind these stretches q
whole continent, tree trade with which would
place factories upon all the streams of Nova
Scotia, supply capital for all legitimate enter.

"a, 600, 900 of free men who inhabt this great
country might for a time involve hign taxa

and insure to them adequate protection forever.
by land and sea-" This being so. is it wise in
England to ask the protesters to give a new i'm
pulse 10 the elements OF disturbance already
existing on the North American Continent as a
menace to the Imperial power? The protest
ends thus:-"Having discharged our duty to
the Empire, we go home 10 share the perils OF
our native land, in whose service we consider
it an honor 10 labor, whose fortunes in this
darkest hour of her history it would be COW.
