Tho spcech Of Senator SEIZURE AT N.S"'

This Is almost endorsing the senator .

cral GRANT; but Just sufficiently dlploina''o
r. enable the Tribune TO leave the senator
and his proposition to their fate II mat'erS
go awry.
Had the Trbnne raised the flag OF oppo'
s;t;o, when Gen. GRANT. rejcctingthe over
turcs of the liberal me-, went over ~ ,"e
ultra Radicals, when he Abandoned I'll ''e'
Of resting, his administration soleIy upon
liberal measures for the restoration OF peace
and harmony to the people, and cquah'y 70
the States, and determined to perpetuaIe
his mower at least for two terms, by tanning
the cmbers Of fraternal strife by ming Tue
no,thcrn mind with distrust Of the sou'n'-
the J,7b,,ne would have been consistent
with what is understood to be its attitude
now. That attitude is very cautiously ana
timGly disclosed. and very naturally. ILLS
always 50 with those who find that oppor-
tunity has slipped by, and who are yet ui'-
willing to abandon their purpose altogether
The Tribune has entrapped itself by It's I'M
policy in sustaining all the measures OF an
administration it wants to oppose; ana
watching from the prison in when IL his
confined itself, it hangs out white hand-
ke,cbief. and throws out little note no"
and tnen to encourage the Drawer men Who'
Ike Schulz. speak cut frankly.
There is force Of pnblic opinion IN ms
country quite strong enough to deieat Gen.
GRANT and inaugurate peace in the land.
But it must be concentrated. How that Is
to he done time must tell. But it is q mat
ter that does not admit Of much delay. The
administration, with its powerful ma
rhincrv. is intimidating opposition In all
charters. See the stroke Of policy in North
carolina manifested in making kukluX of
fence, cx,ravaGantly great by excessive pun
i>hmcnt' See the Republican assemblies oil
cndo; sing GRANT tor reelection under the
pressure brought to bear upon them by
the uilice.holder>. Already no other man
stand, any chance of nomination inside the
Republican party. Old "onc-tprm," to
Use II slang phrase, "is nowhere
so that those who want 10 defeat GRANT
must join the Democrats, or they anu the
Democrats, aud all friends OF harmony and
peace and the restoration Of constitutional
government, must unite, and forming
new uarly, according to the suggestion of
Senator ScHuRz. and sacrificing individual
tastes and prcten>ions, fight brave Battle
for the pcacc, honor, dignity, and freedom
of the Union.
