for themselves and each other; they are
tangh, by j. that high qualities and great
abilities are consistent with the simplicity Of
taste, contempt for parade, and plainness Of
manners, with which direct and esrnestImen
have strong natural sympathy
The Uorld alter the nomination:
"Grant is probably the weakest man, in-
tellectualy, ever nominated BY either party
for the Presidency."
The question OF mans intellectual ca
pacities, according to the Worlds logic, de-
pends entirely upon which party puts him in
nomination; but the people viii, With great
unanimity, indorse the original position Of
the World. and, reposing confidence in the
"qualities and great abilities of General
Grant, choose him ~ their Chief Executive,
for they have strong natural sympathy
with direct and earnest men who have solid
worth rather than mare glitter. AZ "
