THE PRESIDENCY.
What the Herald Thinks ShOuid be
Grants Policy.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Herald says ::
With the candidate the Democrats selected
TO carry their standard, nothing but defeat
was to he expected and We suppose not
even the most sanguine member of the
party anticipated any other termination
than the election of Grant. Let US have
peace is his motto, and we look now to see
these words converted into acts, to see the
olive branch substituted for the sword in
the Southern States negro supremacy
quietly superseded, and such measures
adopted as will create harmony out of dis
cord in the general fruitful portion of our
country comprised in the States now suf.
fering from 4 mistaken and vindictive
policy, and we look and hope fully to this ::
That after the 4th of March next, there
will be a check put upon the monstrous
corruptions which prevail in all the depart
ments of the government; that econo my
shall succeed extravaganza in the disburse-
ment public funds; that public debt shall
be reduced as rapidly as possible, and that
the taxes which press upon the people shall
be made more easy TO bear upon the peo-
pie. We expect General Grant will ac-
complish this.
