What the Democrats used to Think.

When Congress was debating The
bin to revive the grade of General,
and confer that rank upon General
Grant, Hon. A. ). Rogers, a Demo-
cratic member of Congress from New
Jersey, said
81 believe that the mantle OF the
Industrious Washington may we'll fall
upon The shoulders of General Grant.
| believe that he has walked in the
footsteps of the father of his coun-
try"
Congressman Finek, an Ohio De-
mocrat, also used this language
II honor him, sir, not only for his
brilliant services in the field, but be-
cause of his magnanimity in the hour
of triumph, and HE genuine nodes
ty."
Pollard, of The Richmond Erami-
ner, paid this tribute to Gen. Grant
in 1866:
He had, with remarkable ability
accorded honorable and liberal terms
to the vanquished army. He did
nothing to dramatize the surrender
he made no triumphal entry into
Richmond; he avoided all those dis
plays of triumph 50 dear to the North
ern heart; he spared everything that
would wound the feeling or imply
the humiliation of vanquished, foe
There were no indecent Civilizations
no sensations no shows; he receiv,
ed the surrender of his adversary
with every courteous recognition du,
an honorable enemy, and conducted
the closing scenes with as much sim
plicity as possible"

Irish Republicans.

The time was when hardly an Irish
republican could be found. All seemed
to entertain bitter prejudice against
the republican party. Late years
they are finding that for friendship
and good, kind treatment, they can
depend upon republicans aud hardly
anybody else. Democratic friendship
to Irishmen has always extended to
treating them ,ceU Nth a0hisky, and call
ing it friendship. But the Irish,
many of them, have become so far
Americanized as to see that this kind
of treatment with bad whiskey is in
truth worse than no treatment at all.
They have found that liquor treat
ment is not even friendshlp--but
rather a sign of low estimate upon a
man. The Irish Republic published
in New York, ought to have the
means of knowing whereof it speaks
THAI paper of September 9th says:
"From all parts of the country we
have the most cheering intelligence
of the formation Of Irish repub-
licaR clubs. Irish republicans TO
your work, then. The terrible blum
ders of the past have to be wiped out.
In the coming campaign let the green
flag of Erin fly at the front of the con
test, as it flew, in the days that tried
mems souls, under Meagher, and
Smith, and the other gallant men of
our race. who helped to preserve this
Republic"
We know great many Irish res
publicans in Grant County. But
they are old citizens chiefly, and
deeply imbued with American opin-
ions of right and patriotism. To be
republican requires that a man be a
true friend to the American govern :
ment and Constitution and believ-
er in democratic equality before the
law He must believe that all men,
rich and poor, white and black, are
entitled to life, liberty and happiness,
and that all who labor shall own
what they may earn.

Crops and Markets of Grant County
Profits Of Farming Taxation Growl-

Strings of teams quarter to
mile long are seen forenoons on their
way to the markets at Boscobel, at
Bridgeport, at Dunleith, at Potosi, at
Galena. at Woodman, at Mineral
Point, at Glen Haven--each team
carrying 10 market it's twenty to
forty bushels of wheat, and each
bushel selling at $3.50 to S160 Say
three hundred loads of wheat are
daily marketed from tne farms of
Grant County, twenty-five bushels
to the load and the price per bushel
$3.50, the daily total cash sales for
wheat alone would be over $1,000.
And we may safely estimate the
Same income TO continue at such rate
for two months, making above half u
million dollars for the surplus wheat
crop of Grant County for 1868.
1t would be superfuous to estimate
the receipts for other surplus stuffs of
the county, including wool, stock OF
all kinds, pork, beef, oats, corn, &C.,
all OF which promise to bear over
high prices, and these to foot up a
rther aggregate Of at least two
millions of dollars. A further half a
million dollars for lead may be adj
ded-in all at least three and half
millions of dollars income and calling
the population but 80, 900, the income
product of Grant County is $4,000
for the year TO every man, woman
and child in the county, which is
surely enormous
The entire taxes of Grant County
for all manner Of purposes, national
state and county, including also
schools and for towns, cannot ex>
coed the one thrtieth part of the
entire income, or say 100000 In
Europe the taxation varies from 3
fifth to tenth, part of the public in
comes or earnings, but in this coun-
try, at least in our county, it is GER
tainly below three cents on the dollar
of the public earnings.
Ask the landlord, (for surely ev.
cry farmer in q literal sense is .
lord Of the land,) Are you doing

pressing you, and do you teel the
burthens of taxation 2" Answer
=" all right sir, never better; tareS
We complain from old habit--a hab
it we got years ago when poverty
pressed us. But the taxes are not

THIRD ASSEMBLY DISTRICT CON.
County Convention Tomorrow.

Wednesday of this week is the day
appointed for the County Republican
Convention, and then business to
nominate candidates for the several
county Offices.
There appears harmonious pros
pect ahead, unless evil minded ones
otter for discussion and action resolu-
tons and business Of a personal kind,
or for mercenary purpose, in which
case there may be revival of angry
feelings. 1t is hoped that all business
not strictly in line with the matter of
making candidates will be promptly
tabled.
There appears no great deal of con
tests except for Sheriff, which office
appears % the key note to all others
AS usual we refrain from any men
ton of candidates previous to con-
vention, believing that as genera
rule editors should be neutral q:
among candidates. We believe how
ever it would answer valuable ends
for candidates to announce theil
names to the public, and the offices tC
which they aspire, in advance o.
Conventions. The practice is to vir-
tuslly conceal from the masses the
fact of candidacy-a fact we think
that should be openly avowed by
public announcement.
The practice as it is allows but the
leading ones of the party to discuss
the merits and dement's of candida
tes in advance of conventions. We
think the masses as we'll should have
. full say. The only objection to be
urged 10, that the party masses are
too often led by demagogues, and
