OFFENSIVE Acknowledgement Grant late |
~. in his terse, vigorous way characterized |
some expressions that the correspondent of |
the New York World attempted to put in |
his mouth as .'incorrect, indicate. and |
Impairment i'll an extraordinary degree"
We have no doubt, if he thought it worth |
while, he would express very much the
same opinion in regard to the flood of advice
that is showered uponhim by the Democratic
press. The Natfonal Inielligenrer would
undoubtedly come in for very sharp re-
Duke for the ''extraortiinary impertinence"
which leads the conductors of that paper to
suppose that General Grant would for |
moment look to such source for advice. or,
indeed, regard with anything but supreme |
disgust and Indifference its efforts to place |
itself i'll the position of patting the presi- |
dent elect on the back, and warning him |
of supposed dangers that threaten his adj |
ADMINISTRATION. No paper, in feeble and |
filthy way we can scarcely except The |
World or Brick Pomcroy's Democrnt-did |
more to attempt to blacken General Grants |
character during the canvass than TIE In
tsHtgeRcer. There was no personal attack, |
however false and fowl, no insinuation no |
matter how disgraceful and lying, which
found pirth during the canvass, whice Tie
Il1t6Nigeacer did not copy into its columns
and cndeavor to give both credit and motto
riety. 1t may endeavor to forget these
things now, but it may be assured that
there are others that do not.--4msrican.
Tile Cecil Democrat though Of no account
what ever in the matter, was guilty of this
very same villainy, and will be following
its file leaders in rendering advice.
General Grant is quoted by the Wash
ington correspondents as unreservedly OPP
posed to the Alabama Claims treaty. He
holds that the treaty is unjust to the United
States because it assumes to measure injury
inflicted upon this country by money value
of ships actually destroyed, whereas the
chief damage to our commerce was in our
ships being driven from the seas by Anglo
Rebel pirates. In addition to this, the
sympathy extended by the English Govern
mcnt to the South prolonged the war at
least year, and forall lives lost and money
expended, for this time, England is directly
responsible. The treaty proposes to settle
al these things by the payment Of the pal
try value Of a few ships.
