The Adrian Journal-outsidc of Detroit one
Of the leading organs Of the Democratic party
OF Michigan-in an article on the Presidents
late order, says: We have borne long and
meekly the usurpAtiOns Of Congress and the
devilish impudCnce Of military satraps, and
we say now At once, let President johnson
take the initiative step and the strong arm Of
the people will be thrown around about him
and support him to the bitter end. The pres
| ent Is no fitting time for sugar-cOated words
| or weak deeds, and we ditinctly and emphAti-
cally declare that II these newly organized
negro governments st the South defeat the
| white vote Of this country, or II three States
| Of the Union are declared from casting their
| ballots in the coming election because radical
| ism fears they would cast their votes for the
| Democratic candidates. II, we say, these things
are done In defiance of all constitutional law
| and justice, we declare for another war, and
we mean it, every word OF it."
Tug New York Sun says that Mr.. Seward,
who has been spending few days In that city,
virtually stands at present outside Of all po-
litical organizations. Not having agreed with
| he is not now able TO make common cause
with them IN the pending campaign. At the
same time, he is still less able to join the De-
mocracy. That party he regards IS having
| been substantially opposed TO the country
during the war; and this puts 1t out of his
power TO cooperate with them now, even II
all other Obstacles were out of the way. He
regards Gen. Grant asa Arm, prudent, and pat.
riotic man, who will administer the govern
ment with no purpose except the good OF the
| country.
| as follows THE Sewburyport Herald Of to-
| day says After n careful survey Of the field,
| receiving Information from nearly all the
| towns In the district, We come to the conclu.
sion that Gen. Butler is to be elected by a ma.
jOrity nearly as large AS before We hear
| similar opinions expressed In other places In
the district. The Butler meeting at Glouces.
ter last night was the largest ever held there
| Anl the reception gwen TO Gen. Butler was
most enthusiastic. Let the true Republican,
keep at work one week longer and Bu'ler''
majority will end all further boiling In thN
! district
The New York Hcrah says Of Gov. Sey
| mour's speeches: His remarks render one
thug ccrtain-that 1t would be entirely useless
to elect him President, and that II he held the
reins OF government In lis hands tomorrow
| legislation or Congress. OF what use, then,
| would 1t be TO place him At the head of the
| Government Far better to elect Grant, who
| can exercise some control over Congress, and
| to trust to his conservative views to shape the
| future policy Of the United States"
| A ,GESTLENAN, while recently visiting the
Gettysburg battlefield, remarked to the guide
| who accompanied him, that the supporters OF
| Seymour and Blair ought to come there
| "Ah,n said the guide, they don't come here
they don't like II. have not taken ten Dem
| ocrats over this ground, except the Southern.
ers who have been here to look for Their
| friends graves. But of Republicans there
| have been many thousands"
TnE Democrats say Grant has no policy.
| The General has recently said This much
| wish, and I declare this 10 be my policy! that
| such degree OF peace and tranquility shall
| exist In this country that a man may Bpeah
his mind in any part OF our great land, AM
| that without molestaton or hindrsnce. :
| THIS is the policy the cOuutry wants and what
II will have under Grtn's administration.
