ttLet Us Have Peace"

President Grant heralded his
political advent by the prayeriuI,
if not hopeful sentence we have
quoted. One of the strongest ar

In fact the triumphant election
of the President possessed little
else of political significance than
that embodied in the popular
watchword of the canvaSs-"Let
us have peace" The people were
weary of strife, and voted with
great unanimity for peace. They
confidently expected that the
author of the sentiment to which
we refer, would certainly pacify
the turbulant political elements of
the country when he came into
power.
Let us see how these promises
have been fulfilled. The war of
the rebellion closed in 1866, and
the party entered Immediately up
on the business of reconstruct

Grants Inauguration, some dozen
or more reconstruction acts had
been passed, and some of them
vigorously enforced. He took up
these measures where his prede-
-cessor left them, and other acts of
Congress and Presidential procla-
nations followed, which 1t is not
necessary here to specially notice.
Notwithstanding all these promis-

pretty much of the jug handle

cratic victory is gigantic. The
days of Radicalism are numbered,
and if the Democracy are not sue
cessful in the next Presidential
