GRANT AS PRESIDENT.
7 4IUAhy
g. NJ. WHITNEY,
SAMUEL PIPER.
Dist. Committee.

The Republican party, has given two
Presidents to the country-Lincoln
and Grant. Both of them, previous to
and also after entering upon the dis
charge of their official duties. were the
subjects of the severest censure and
most wanton vituperation on the part
oftheir political opponents. Lincoln
was termed boor, ignoramus, gorilla,
hyena and demon, and charged with
crimes which would have added black
ness to the record of the worst crimi-
mails the world ever knew; and Grant
has been denominated a assumptions
idiot, an incompetent, q mere accident
of fortunate circumstances and an in.
evitable failure. The very depths of
'Tulgarity, obscenity, and invective
ihave been sounded 10 find epithets to
hurl at these two persons yet Lincoln
having finished his work passes down
to history as the purest of men and the
greatest and most successful of leaders.
and Grant has already given ample ev-
idence that in his career as Executive
of the nation he will be no less success
ful than as the leader of it's armies.
There is less of pomp and parade, few
er oratorieal displays and long-winded
messages, and none of the ponderous
and perhaps brilliant state papers
characterizing his administration which
have been the distinguishing mark and
merit of many preceding ones, but
quietly and without ostentation he has
accomplished the most important re-
suits during the few months of his
official career, and can point TO the re.
turn of prosperity and tranquility to
all parts of our country as evidence
that his wise, firm and prudent course
is the very policy 7ahich the circum.
stances ofthe case require. The vic
iousss assaults which have been and are
being made upon Grants moral and
intellectual character pass for nothing
@hen we can see such practical results
Of his administration as the removal of
corrupt officials, the diminution Of
eaKation, the collection of he revenues,
the rapid rise in value of our national
bonds, and the steady reduction of the
national debt: Honesty, vigilance and
executive ability characterize the man
agement of our affairs, the peoples
money is no longer distracted from the
government Golfers to ell the pockets
of corrupt Office holders, each monthly
financial report shows that the national
6ebt IS being reduced at the rate of
over sl0Q,000,000 per year, and a
healthful spirit Of confidence and hope.
fulness is rapidly taking the place of
the doubt and uncertainty which have
SO long prevailed. TIE political party
which had faith enough in Grant to
make him their candidate for President
has no reason TO be ashamed Of its
choice or to regret its action.

When q gentleman asked celebrated
divine the other day how long he had
been in preparing a certain sermon in
which he had displayed even more
than his great average ability, the re
ply was, GA life time sir j. So if any
one were to ask Helmbold, the cele-
brated New York druggist, how long he
had been in building up and perfecting
that admirable system of advertising
which has made him, beyond sques ion
the peer of the merchant princes, he
might, with propriety, reply by point.
ing to the long years that have elapsed
since, as beginner in life, he first in
vested his gains in the columns of the
newspaper press, with confidence that,
like bread cast upon the waters, the
returns would be both ample and sure.
And, while yet a young man, Helmbold
finds himself a millionaire, with bus
mess upon his hands which, despite all
the contingencies Of trade, is constant
ly increasing. How much of til
success is due to the liberal and ex-
tended system of advertising, of which
this gentleman is the most prominent
representative, is not difficult to ascer.
tain, and is the best argument IN vindi-
cation Of system which, it is due to
say, is every day gaining ground among
the live and enterprising business men
| of the c0Irntrv.
Helmbold's drug store, No. 594
Broadway, New York city, is in all re
spects model establishment, and il
pronounced by all who have visited il
the finest on the continent. Among
the specialties which Helmbold has
placed prominently before the public
are his now famous Fluid Extracts
Buchu and Sarsaparilla. These fuic
extracts have been endorsed by the
medical faculty, and are quite generally
used by physicians in their private
practice. They are, therefore, genuin.
preparations, and as such are entitled
to public confidence. Buchu has long
been pronounced by physicians one o
the best diuretics known to science
and as compounded in Helmbold'
Extracts is doubtless the best specin,
for those affections for which it is rec
commended. ...
