General Grants Policy.

The following paragraph is extracted from
the Journal of Commences paper neutral in
the late canvass 1t would seem, from the
terms employed, to speak by authority. If so,
the importance of its statements cannot be over
rated. We emphasize certain passages to at
tract to them particular attention: COS
General Grant is not a Radical, and zoe hare
the re,y highest authority for saying that 1t IS
his purpose to separate himself from the ex
tremists, and to rally around him strong body
of the better class Of citizens, who shall draw
unto them congenial allies from all quarters and
become, as they would deserve to be, the party
of the country. He is extremely anxious to
verify his party watchword, and to lead the
country at once to peace and renewed prosperity.
This is his purpose, and no one can deny that
it is noble ambition. Not himself politician,
and with but little experience or skill in civil
life, he does not, as we think, at all realize the
difficulties in the such success as he covets. We
do not say that he will fail, for he has undoubt-
ed pluck, and, besides four years of patronage
at command, he aoiW also hare the adcice and
practical aid of some strong friends acho do not
usually iatermeddle with public affairs He
will, Of course, be first fattered and then round
ly abused by those whose alliance he disdalns
IF Sumner is lett out in the cold, according to
the present programme, there will be heard at
Washington howl Of rage every time the wind
is in the East If the South is treated kindly
and justly, as General Grant has privately
promised, and the measures of reconstruction he
has indicated as has choice are adopted, he will
soon be classed by the Radicals OF his party as
"a rebel sympathizer," bent On throwing away
all the fruits of the great national victory
There is large class Of politicians whose sole
test of "a righteous peace is some form Of
security for the permanent ascendancy OF their
party at the South. There can beno rest to the
land until that idea as abandoned; and if this
concession is now made by their chosen leader,
he will be stigmatized most unsparingy as a
traitor to their cause
