profoundest satisfaction the patriot
ic and constitutional declaration of
President Grant. in his Inaugural
Address, that while he will on all
subjects have a policy to recomend
to Congress, he will have none to
er force against the will of the peo
plea sentiment which assures the
county of an executive administra-
ton founded on the models of the
administrations of Washington and
Madison, and that will insure to
Congress the unrestricted exercise
of its constitutional functions, and
0 the people their righful control
Of the Government.

less expenditure of public money

double that of the previous Genera

to disfranchise disabled soldiers anC
other citizens Of the State; its at
tempt to take from the Genera
