A resolution of inquiry into BoUr

Congress.
In spite of all attempts to hide them
two facts in this suspicious transaction
have come to light. First. That it cost
nearly two per cent to negotiate the loan,
while the law expressly forbid an ex.

permitted the purchasers to draw inter.

Abolish the standing army OF 10000
men and our worthless naval of1icials,to
gnthcr with the thousands of uremploy-

rom all parts Of the United States Du-
ring two years past the People have paid
$24C,0O0.000 to support the army
ahdsnayy. and the only use made of the
army was to Bayonet snd worry the
People Of the South, and the navy has
been of no. account whatever, unless the
People relish paying the bills of the
GRANT family by furnishing war vessels
fof their special accommodation.
- Abolish both army and navy, together
With the useless officials attached.

our country has been suffering from, is
the want of a few smore' tools in The
hands of tyranny. Congress is discus
sing q project for buying all the tele-
graph lines, and making Federal officials

This elephant would cost about $780,

Its advantages would be that it would
create $4,000 new Offices, and to this cx-
tent increase the Presidents patronage,

One OF the many inestimahe blessings
which the reign of Radicalism has be-
slowed upon the country, is the intro
duction OF stump speeches in iiel OF En-
ccutivc messages. A shrewd man woull,
now a.days. no more think Of looking
into aPrcsident Message to ascertain
the condition aul wants " the country,
thaa lie would think Of lnnking for the
same purpose into a political platform
As the whole energies Of GRANTS
present term have been employed to Sc
cure for bin second term, it il not sur
prisias that bis recent Message, (heing
the last before another Presidentisl cleo
tion J has The plainest proofs of having
been aimed to meet the requirements "f
the coming Radical National Convcn-
ton. To he consistent with itself, the
Message should have heen sddres sed to
that Convention Instead OF being ad
dressed tn Congress.
Such being the aim and objsct of the
Message, its sum and substance might
l'e easily guessed: First. 1t endeavors
10 make out by suppression and exsgge
ration, the strongest possible case in ia
vor of GRANTS denomination, Second
/ ly. 1t endeavors to make out, by sup
preston and eXaggerstion, the strongest
possible case in favor of GRANTS re-
election
The author recommends sundry re-
forms which he we'll knows the Radicals
will place in their platform, and which
he knows equally as we'll they will never
place upon the statute books.
He makes for facts, statements which
are notoriously and glaringly incxsct,-
AS, for example, that the interest on the
national debt has been reduced l7,O0O,-
600 during his administration and that
lie has prosecuted all violators Of the
laws. .ldefaulters for instance!
i He Is as innocently silent about the
San Domingo job as if he was not Qui-
city but determinedly preparing to con-
sumnate that swindls as soon as the
election is over. s'
He offers a sugar plum to the SUMNER
faction by the ridiculous proposal to
punish citizens OF the United States who
in foreign country, hold slaves. How
he would punish a man in the United
States for an offense committed in Cubs
he doesn't explain. But as this littlt
absurdity was only designed to tickle The
old abolition fanatics it may accomplish
its object.
To catch the revenue reforners h,
proposes reduction Of the tariff, and tt
retain the cordial support Of the nonop
lists he proposes to make this reduction
in such a way as to increase rather thai
diminish their i'll gotten gains.
1t is said that we shonld judge Of al
undertaking in the light of the ent
which it is designed to attain. GRANT
Message is plainly designed to dema
gogue the people into re electing him
We therefore regard it as q clever pei
formance.
