or to somo point on the frontier most
suitable aud convenient tor cemmuaica-
ktion with that Minister, ''to give him the
aid of his advice in, carry ing out the iu-
structions of the Secretary of State,
General Grant, suggesting Hancock ,Sher,
man, or Sheridan for the duty, excused
himself, saying: !.
II would not dare to counsel The Min
lister ia any matter beyond stationing of
troops on United States SOIL, * * 4

TASTE x * i l most respectfully
but urgently repeat my request to bo ex-
cused from the performance Of duty
entirely out of my sphere, and one, too,
which can be SO much better performed
by others"
So spoke Grant of himself in October
1866, year and nine months ago, and
such his confession of incapacity and un-
fitness. "by education or taste," for dip
lcmatic service, or the transaction Of
public affairs.
J When Grant was nominated at Chica-
60 by the Radical party, iu a speech ac
ceptiug tue nomination, General Grant
said:
"You have truly said, in the course of
your address. that shall have no policy
of MY own to intcrposc against the will
of the people"
Thus VIC find Grant in 1864 declaring
that he should regard his nomination to
the Presidency ''highly unfortunate to
the country" confcssing in 1865 that "he
could not reply to au address if he
should try" in 1866 protesting, on the
grounds of ignorance and incompc:ency,
and as "iorcign to his office and tastes"
against being asked to accompany Mr.
Campbell to Mexico, "to give him the
aid of his advice in carrying out the in
struotions of the Secretary of Statc;"
and in 1868, after receiving the Presiden-
tial nomination of the Radical party, say
ing, IL shall have no policy of my own"
This is statesmanlike record, truly
Verify, out of his own mouth is General
Grant condemned.

Extreme S,ase..' Cared.

JOSEPH FLEMING, DRUeGIsr, No, 81 Market ST.,
Pittsburgh. .ts
Sir: take great pleasure in statirg that,
after having suffered from dyspepsia for about
fifteen years, at some periods much more than
others, have been entirely cured 10y the use
of Goes Dyspepsia Cure. My friends know
that of late years my case has been an eN
treme one. had great suffering from eating
any kind of food, and on an average would
vomit about one third of my meals In sour,
indigestible mass. When tho severe attacks
would come. would lose all strength aud be
utterly helpless. Some of the attacks would
he so severe that for days together would
not retain anything ON my stomach, save
little dry toast and tea, For years knew not
what it was TO pass FIVE consecutive hours
without intense pain. From the time took
the first dose of this medicine ceased vomi-
ting, gradually all soreness passed away, and
flesh and strength returned, aud ever since
have been able to cat any kind of food set
upon the table. Six months have now passed
without any symptoms of the return OF the
disease, My case was considered 10y all, even
physicians, so marvellous, that for a time it
was feared it mig be fictitious; but l. am new
SO we'll convinced, that have been not mere,
lily relieved, but permanently cured, that lean
oonscientiously recommend Goes Dyspepsia
Cure, to all victims of Dyspepsia.

In 1864 General Grant wrote in rcla-
ton to his proposed nomination to the
Presidency, by set of men (who after
wards nominated him) whom Mr.. Greeley
characterizes as "blacksliders from every
thing Republican but the loaycs and
fishes" s'Is -
III should regard such consummation
highly unfortunate to myself, if not to
the country"
Such was Grants own estimate in 1864
Of his unftncss for the place into which
indiscreet and fool hardy friends are en-
deavoring to thrust him.
On tho 10th Of August, 1865, citizens
Of Kalamazoo, Michigan, presented Gen
eral Grant With an address of welcome
whereupon Grant said:

Gen Cary's Views on Imprachment.

The workingmsn of Cincinnati filed
Pixies new hall on Monday evening last
to hear addresses from Gen s. +. Cary,
member of Congress from the Ohio Sec.
ond District, and other gentlemen. Gen
Gary made the principal address of the
evening, and explained at length his course
in Congress lie devoted much time to
the subject of impeachment, in the course
of his remarks, saying;
Ny Fdloc Ca,,ens This is one Of
the granlest and most solemn events in
American history, The President of the
United States, charged with high crimes
and misdemeanors, is before the high
tribunal Of the Senate oCthe United States
to answer these charges And whether
true or false, it is a grave question, and
it is a grave subject for consideration and
ifyou could have seen with what indecent
haste the impeachment resolutions were
passed by the House. and could have seen
how, like political mob, we carried our
impeachment in the House Of Representa-
tives, you would have laughed. You all
know that | have no particular attach-
ment to Andrew johnson. On the Grst
vote in Congress, sixty nine against sixty
seven voted against impeachment But
then came up those second articles of I'M.
peachment They impeached him, n.
you all know, for violating the Civil Ten
ure bill, and removing from office Mr.
Stanton, Secretary OF War. Now pro-
pose to give you, very briefly and very
calmly, the reasons why | voted against
impeachment, and whether you indorse
me or not makes little difference now.
But let the result be as it will, whether
he is convicted or not, the time is coming
my countrymen, when every man, | care
not of what party, will say that this is a
