TIE COMING MAN.

FFOm tho vast cNlOht w 'oilhoigh ~
ru,ted In the limits Of this Republic, and
from tho largo increase in it's population
and weNllh tho Presidential Office invests
,he citizen who may be hunored by hold
inr il. with large measure OF influence,
aud of power. For good or for harm The
Influence of the Prcuidcnt is moro potent
than that of any and oil other officers under
this govornmct.
The organic laws Of the hetion have In
vostod the Presidential office with large
scope of authority, which has been greatly
extended and increased by The acts and
rrcoedents of Subsequent occupants, These
results have eliminated in the policy of
10 tho victors belong the spoIe," thus
opening the food gate of corruption aud
Of arbitrary authority. With such consc'
uuences contingent on the ollicc, it is rea-
sonablc, and, in fact, absolutely necessary,
That the constituency who elect the man,
should intimately regard his character aud
nntceedcnts. with tho character and OF
fetal acts Of ANDREW JouNscNr Nrpatcnt to The
worM, that duty becomes self evident.
Each of tho great political parties arc
now on the alert in this matter, aud the
coming presidential struggle promises to
Eurpass in intensity of interest, all that
have preceded it.
From the general testimony of the Re-
publican press, and the expression Of SEN
timcnt, made at various large aud inhuon
tiul asscmblagcs of the people, it is very
evident that the Republican party consider
that Gen. U. S. GRANT is the coming man
for tho Presidency. On him we can all
unite, and thus prosecute tho presidential
campaign to successful issue.
Tho Grand Army Of tic Rcpublic-rcpre
fsnling somo 250,000 OF our brave soldiers
l,avo endorsed GRANT for President in
their National Convention at Philadcl phia
The Republican State Convention, of Con
necticuf, have also raised his banner, aud
from almost every part Of the East and
West tho cry is raised of GRAFT for Pres
idont. In that cry we fully accord and in
our limited sphere of action, shall use all
legitimate means to consumato that desiro
lilo end.
In General GRANT wo have q candidate
Of unlmpeachabe character brave, hon
est nnd patriotic mana man whose deeds
declare his competency and WORTH aud en-
titlo him to the confidence of his fellow
citizens. General GRANTS keen powers of
discrimination his strict impnrtiulity, and
uuainching flrmuess; will avail much in set
Ting prevailing disorders and distractions
in tho South, and thus restore unity and
concord throughout tho Union.
With firm conviction that GRANT is the
"coning man" to achieve this great work of
rscifcation, we raise our voice in favor oi
linn as the Republican candidate for the
Presidency, and in connection Herewith,
commend to the attention of our readers
tho following eloquent and emphatic en-,
dorscmeut of him by Governor BuLLocK, of
Massachusetts
Ulysses s. Grant! II is the record Of history
that In great public crisises the instinct OF ma
tion points with un0rriug sagacy to some man
at the people whom they adopt at once in the as
Surance of faith, as their chosen champion and
dcvoror and by natural law this abidin CON
iidcnce Is through its own soothlng pow tho
surest guarantee ol success. In this dar hour
of national exigcnoy We have need Of loader
whose integrity Is uncorrnptcd by political asso-
ciatnns and whose patriotism has not permitted
him n descend to the arena of partisan warfare =
ofa tried leader of uudauntcd courage who will
be swaycd neither by popular passion nor sec
tional pniudco---ofa man of cautious rehcence--
who has no Inconsistencies tn explain no poll
tics to maintain-no theories to promu)gatoo of q
leader who comprrheuds the position aud rola-
tnns Of all sections Of our common country, and
will brihg to the administration of public affairs
executive ability, economical ideas, cloar head,
and an honest heart. 1t is manifest that it is
the same Providence whiSh brought us safely
through the storm Of war that gives this Who'll,
people now with singular unaumity toreo gniEe il
plain uppretcnding citizen, him whose energy
discretion, and exalted patriotism will restore
peace aud prosperity to diScordant States and 4
