Spain should be impressed with the
conviction that she will not be permit
ted to destroy an American community
because it refuses to be governed by her
antiuuated notions of public policy in
adopting this course. General Grant
has the opportunity to lay the corner
stone ofthe coming great and American
party in our politics on foundations as
broad and secure as were those laid by
Jefferson and Jackson. The tone and
temper of the people require such a
party organization which shall ignore
old party lines, and be free from old
party corruptions. The circumstances
of our public affairs, both domestic and
foreign, are formidable to it, and Gen:
Grant himself has the prestige necessa-
ry for its successful accomplishment.
The initial step is involved in the Cuba
question, and Gen: Grant should be pre-
pared to give it an early and prompt
recognition.
