GRANTS ELECTION,


pecially needs in its present emergency
is an administration which shall look
with patriotic perceptions, to such
measures as shall relieve the country
from the pressure and agitation of par.
tizan strife, and set the various depart
meuts of the Government at the per-
Torrance of their legitimate duties, in
dependent of their effect upon political
strategies. We have too long been
accustomed to the heat and turmoil OF
revolutionary strife and the country
needs rest and reposc. We have great
faith in Grants administrative ability,
aud complete confidence in his pure
and unselfsh patriotism. OF course he
cannot possess these attributes without
also possessing that stern political in
tegrity which is born of sense of JUS
tiee, a governing proclivity toward
moderation, and love for peace and
Democracy, selfish and inscriptions
demagogues occupying high places in
the Republican party, and if that class
expect to use Grant for the furtherauce
of their selfish ends, the will be griev-
ously disappointed. IN other words,
va are firm in the faith that President
Grant will give to the country and the
world, a noble and gratifying ilustra-
tion of that homely, trite old axiom ::
& Honesty is the best policy" We
have every reason for believing that
Grant will be true, firm. friend to
that section which so much needs good
friends and advisers, the long suffering
and sadly agitated South There will
ne 90 mere, specious, bad pretenses of
friendship, such as Andrew johnson has
displayed toward that unhappy people
the stimulation of friendship which
encourages vice and palliates intemper.
snce Of action-but the firm, judicous
exercise of sense of Justice which
mus. underlie all intelligent and faith
fut efforts at reform.
We confess to all that NAV be charged
against us upon the score of Radical
ism. We believe in, and glory in,
- heroic " treatment for dangerous dis,
sases. The honest, capable surgeon
does Rot hesitate to use the ampn;ating
knife, enploy the lancet, or apply,
when neefei, the actual cautery.
$ Radical Repnblicanism is bu. the
satural guard against, and Offset to,
- Radical" Democracy, which is the
logical result of, and the inevitable in
citement to, the fact and incidents of
Secession. Laws have been enacted BY
looking 20 the restoration TO
.hs Union Of the Con federate States
which, it is possible, would have been
ifths South had had bet
to. advisers in and QUA of the Presiden-
f,si otice. When President attempts
L" make a political machine of bis Of
ice and is willing to tamper with the
maddened and baff1ed enemies of the
coantrv in order to maintain and give
to political policy of bis own,
it becomes the unavoidable part of the
branches of the Government
=, cbeckmate him and make the sue
,ess of his machin atoms impossible |
With the Congress battling against the
'reai4fent, power is arrnyed against
,awer with the Government conso!;-
ieted as il will be when Grant is Presi-
tent and a loyal Congress is assembled
a the Capital, the moral sud political
,rce Of the State will De so strong as
10 ne able TO exercise that wise moder-
.''on owl of the application OF " 5ich
.iona, can the ultimate and perfect
'ranenility be attained which is so in-
,aspersibla to the public veal.
This government has been reformed

rar for the Union. That war was waged |
non the part Of the North upon the
principle Of N.tional sovereignty. Cal
