We publish, in another column, an
article headed "Grant as President"
and protesting to give his policy as
Chief Magistrate, alias Dictator The
article may be purely sensational,
and doubtless is, but still it foreshad-
ows the futufe Of the government
now being erected by the Radicals,
upon the ruins of representative
democracy.
When Congress reversed the lead.
ing feature of free government, that
the majority shall rule, and substi-
tuted the theory that the right to
govern belongs to the minority, they
paved the way for monarchy, as did
their illustrious exemplars, the rump
Parliament Of England. A minor
ity of one is better than that of a
dozen, and whether better or not,
one man can more easily grasp the
reins of power in his single hand,
and by his undivided will, than an
oligarchy, divided in opinion, and
suspicious of each other. Ambition
will divide council of thirty or
more tyrants, but single ruler has
feuds with himself, and what is more,
history proves that the rule of one
man has been productive of more
good, and has given more stability to
government and more satisfaction to
governed than a clique, junto, or
rump.
Should this be the programme and
Grant the man, the strong military
government that is to work such
wonders for the country, will, as his
keepers will find out, necessitate q
widely different policy towards the
South, from that now pursued. The
scheme of active Intervention in the
affairs Of Europe and the annexation
of territory on this continent are
impossibilities in view of the large
army which will be necessary to
maintain negro supremacy in the
South, and in view Of the danger in
case Of foreign war, that may grow
out of the just indignation and dis
affection of eight millions of wronged
and insulted and brave people, forced
by injustice and tyranny, to seize
upon the first opportunity to throw
off their CALLING yoke. Whatever
may happen, it is not easy to make
our condition worse, and in the rad
ical changes now being effected, there
is chance that it may be bettered
or at least made as good as that Of
our kind northern brethren. Then
let the work go on. The establish
ment of monarch has long been
foreseen by close observers of cur,
rent events, and who have studied
the lessons of history. But if we
are to have King, Grants not oul
choice. We want no scrub, but q
thoroughbred. We want sober
man, of strong intellect, a good
heart, and an intimate knowledge Of
human nature-one who can adapt
his policy to their idiosyncrasics, and
take pride in promoting the general
prosperity. A Macmillan would be
a blessing to this country, Just now,
and we would hail with pleasure the
advent of such man to power over
us. The Puritans produced but one
Cromwell, and we want no bell
wether from their flock.

GEN. GIBSON,

The time for holding the Congress.

rapidly approaches. We hope the
friends Of General GiBsoN will not be
idle, and that they " III spare no eff
fort and no honorable means to in-
sure bis nomination at Clyde on the
30th inst. As the standard bearer
Of the National Union Republican
Party 10 this District, 10 the ensui ng
campaign, General GIBsoN's eminent
qualifications in all respects for the
position, as we'll as his long. thorough
aud valuable services in every cam
paigu Of the party, aud his gallant
services in the late war make his
selection at this time one omincntly
6tand proper.
General GIBsoN's personal popu-
larity, his talent aud his record in
the party as we'll as 10 the 6eld make
his selection at this time the strong
est and most desirable the party can
make. If ths party intopd in the
future as in the past, to put General
Gibson In tho front line Of battle
into tho thickest Of the fght-aud
maize him in any event "benr the
burden and heat of the day." is il not
the ittest thing to advance him to a
position he has so we'll aud nobly

peace and acquiescence, of consolid.
alton, whereby the ravages Of war
may be repaired. but it Is . new an
nouucement Of the rebellion under
somewhat different circumstances,
but under circumstances formidable,
dangerous and solemn.
Let the country look the struggle
in the face. Gen. Blair has said
truly that all that is said about
greenbaoks aud bonds aud the aues-
ton Of finance, is mere nonsense
The great issue is the question Of
overturning the new State govern
ments by force. The restoration :of
the power Of the rebels, or as they
call il, "the white mems govern.
ment," in those States, aud dall the
rest is leather aud prunella."
We owe a debt of grstitu dc to
General Blair for his fraukness.
There need be no deception practic.
ed now, and there can be neither
can be no other issue presented sub.
stantially to us, but that Of the fu.
ture pea:e of this country. If Sey.
mour shall be elected upon that plat
form be stands pledged to use the
army Of the United States for the
purpose Of overturning the govern-
ments that have been established 10
the South by the whole people, and
by that army to place the power
back again into the hands Of the
rebels. They we're with them 10 that
Convention, with him 10 that Cow en-
ton. They have given to them
their counsel. They have endorsed
Mr.. Seymour. Their Convention aud
all have endorsed Gen. Frank p. Blair.
| know that we shall be told in the
Northwest that they intend to have
the same currency for the govern
meut aud the people, and for the
bondholder aud the labOrer.
They will proclaim taxation Of the
bonds as the great issue upon which
they expect to get votes-that will
all be nonsense. The great issue and
the whole contest, and we have the
solemn declaration of their candidate
for Vice President to that effect, will
be the renewal of the war aud 20 o.
verturn the State Governments that
have just beeu established under the
acts of Congress.
General Blair has relieved the Re-
publican party of a great deal Of la
Dor. lie has unmasked the enemy
with whom we have to deal, and he
has placed before the country the
very issue, peace or war.
