Abuse Of General Grant.

No party ever entered campaign more depressed
and dismayed az the more mention Of the name OF

Rebel Conservative party Of to-day. Il has not as

Very good for tho PittsbuTg Post. We trust lis
Democratic friends will consider its above remarks
carefully. Their point and emphasis suits US ez.
sctiy. The New York World, the great me!ropoli-
tan organ Of the Democracy, has said things almost
as creditable. At one time il said
The War Department ID, for the present, in the
discreet and able hands Of General Grant As
Cong-tss is TO meet in November, we wish that
General Grant might superintend the Department
during the short intervening period, and until the
Senate shall have decided on the suticiency Of the
Presidents reasons Of removing Stanton
This acknowledgment of General Grants admin
istratve capacity cannot in any way be- affected by
complaints about the breaks between Grant and
johnson. 1t is just as good to-day as ever. But
the World has been even more complimentary. It
has said;
OF the sleadi ness and slauAchuoss ol Gen. Grant
patriotism or the upfightness and solidity Of his
character, nc man in the county doubts or affects
10 doubt On the score Of loyalty and solid public
services, 10 man in the country can come into com
petition with this llustrious soldier. The Tf5u5s
is clamorous to have General Grant show lis colors
and take sides in the party squabbles Of the day.
We rejoice that there is one man in the country who
Is above the necessity Of such beitLliug part:au-
ship. We trust that General Grant loves bis whole
without regard 20 any dividing lines-whethDr
they be lines Of party, section, or race or color
It Is tne noblest reward Of great services ike his
that Il enables man 10 act nobly without sppear-
ing To be pretentioug. General Grant ig under the
moral necessity Of respecting the great rsnown Of
his past services. Il is beneath him % play any
common part in vulgar politics. The Presidency
can DO nothing 70 him no has . more valuable Of
Zee But if, in the hands Of Providence ho could
be an instrument for traneuiliEing the country, t
would be an honor for which he could afford 10
sacrifice ease, congenisl pursuits, and The possb-
ties Of still greater fame as 3 soldieE
As Washington was elected and reelected u Tho
strength Of his character and services without
pledges either asked OF given We trust that General
Grant viii b elected il ct ALL in the same way and
with the same generous confidence Having re-
stored The authority Of the Government, we hope
that be may add tho highest civic to the highest
military fame, by restoring long lost cordially Of
feeling.

DEAR Dir We have sesn your call for a State
Convention at Nashville on the 10th Of June, to
ratfy the Chicago nominations, and organize Tho
Presidential campaign. The Importance OF such a
convention is not easily Oversated and it meets our
hearty approval
In order, however, 90 give il increased effect and
TO accomplish more fully the great purpose aimed
at, we respectfully suggest that it have longer
time TO assemble and more convenient day. With
ouF people, who ara mostly agricultursts the day
named is the busiest in the year. and especially tho
present year, when the wet and backward season
has crowded forward upon June much Of the work
ususlly done in May, or even in April. Il would
certainly be far more convenient for them to wait
until the summer harvest is gathered and the crop
laid by. Moreover other considerations Of great
Importance 10 Tennessee urges US TO specLfully
quest a postponement of the convention until
Wednesday, the 18th day of August meanwhile,
let us Insist upon our friends to come up in their
strength from every part Of the State.
