to absorb all foreign possessions in
North America; we know that he was
more or less implicated in schemes for Mexican
annexation; we know that he has pursued the
plan of annexation in the West Indies with
such extraordinary persstency that one could
hardly help suspecting that he had some fur
ther object in view than the acquisition of the
little State of Santo Domingo We know that
he has still an eye upon Mexico, and design
for the increase of the navy. In his dull way
we dare say he dreams of a second term, gilt
tering with victories and cOnquests, and then
o third, and then Presidency for life.
If there were any patriotic sentiment in these
designs, or even any thirst for purely military
glory, men might be captivated for the mo-
ment by the grandeur of the enterprise
foreign as it is to the true spirit Of our lnsti-
tutions and our traditional policy. But with
Grant all such plans are merely devices to
keep himself in Office. lie does not appreciate
even the greatness that can be won in his own
profession. He does not care for national
glory, and has no real desire for individual
renOwn. He would be just as willing to keep
himself in the White House by packing
convention and Substituting gaugers as by
cOnquering q State. lie has tried one plan,
and If he succeed in it, there are not wanting
indications that he will next try the other.

MANIFEST DESTINY.

Secretary Boutwell, has repeatedly said in
the presence of witnesses, both before and
since the Philadelphia Convention, that there
was no reason why President Grant should
not be reelected for third term just as well
as for a second. Mr.. Boutwell, has rather dis
tingulshed himself during this campaign by
betraying truths which for the good of his
party he ought to have kept concealed, and
this, we are inclined to believe, is one of them
Four years ago Gen. Grant made a regular
bargain for a second term through FOrney and
Rawlins, and at the very time when he pre-
tended to favor q limitation of the eligibility
Of the President to four years, he had exacted
a promise from Republican managers that he
should have the Office if possible for eight
As the end of his first term draws near his
purposes are gradually becoming more and
more apparent. He is not satisfied with re-
nomination in 1872 his Finance Minister has
already warned us that if we choose him now
We may as well choose him in 1876 also and
some of his enthusiastic supporters have
thrown out the idea-perhaps as feeler-that
we ought to go on voting him into Office again
and again for ever.
The Presidents character after all has been
greatly misunderstood lie is not the calm,
passionless, commonplace man he has been
taken for; but his stolid exterior covers an
immense ambition. His cold and rather vul-
gar nature is incapable of the impulses which
have spurred on famous soldiers TO greatness.
His ambition is not an ennObling passion; it
Is not elevated by imagination, nor by visions
of national or even personal glory. 1t is a
sordId, selfish love of power, for the sake of
tho money, and comfort, and consideration
which it brings, for the sake of the opportn-
mites it offers of quartering relations upon the
public treasury We dare say it is true that
Grant has cherished, and still cherishes, wild
schemes of military aggression. We know
that before his first nomination for the Presi-
dency no entertained theories of the
manifest destiny" Of tho United States

TiE MAIN ARG UHEHT FOR A SECOND
TERN.

TIiE MAIN ARG UNENT FOR SECOND
TERN.
The assumption that the country is prosper
Gus, lis industry well employed, and its bust
ness in satisfactory condition-therefore, re-
elect the President-is in essence an argument
for Monarchy. A man is made chief ruler for
life, with succession to his heirs, on purpose
that turmoil and hazard may be avoided. "
"gant your says the monarchist, that IT
CLOCKS absurd to see renowned statesmen and
generals paying homage to an infant in It's
"cradle, as their liege lord; but hereditary
"rule has been found by experience to IN
:" sure the greatest general quiet and the
" greatest exemption from perturbation and
anarchy. 1t involves fewer risks than any
" form or fashion of popular rule" Thousands
among US think as they do, but await their
opportunity.
The argument for Second Term would
serve better for a third, and still better for a
fourth 1t is never exhausted. admit that
"things are not just right now, will change
"of rule be sure to improve themf Nothing
"human is perfect; better bear the ills we
know than fly to others not now visible, but
(which may prove far more formidable" So
monarchisis reason, and the TwO-Tem men
follow closely in their footsteps.
The Republican conception is radically Diff
ferent. 1t holds that as moving water is kept
pure, while a stagnant pool breeds miasma, so
passing power from hand to hand is safe
guard against corruption and tyranny. The
gigantic frauds which last year startled our
City only became possible after a few men
had impregnably intrenchcd themselves in
power. Had they not been able to elect and
reflect themselves, Millions would have been
saved.
Each of the great parties that have sue
cessvely ruled this country has, through its
most eminent statesmen, borne emphatic tes-
timOny to the truth that President Of the
Upited States should not be eligible to re5lec-
ton while welding the power and patronage Of
his great Office But for George WashingtOn's
peerless qualities the Federal Constitution
would have restricted each President to a sin
gle term. That Constitution will yet be 80
amended as to achieve this end.
