The articles we publish this morning
from the Washington Chronicle and tn,
Washington Repu5licGn, President
Grants personal organs are full Of sig.
nifcance. In addition to these indiea,
tons. the telegraph announces thai
President Grant will, in his coming
message, recommend to Congress the
removal Of all disabilities and a free and
full amnesty to everybody. This infor-
nation is hailed with glsdness and JOY
by the Southern people, who are weary
Of strife and anxious to bury out Of sight
forever every recollection Of the war.
The philanthropist and the patriot, tbs
conservatives of the whole country, viii
strengthen General Grants hands in
every effort he may make toward giving
reconciliation and tranquility to the ma
ton. In view Of the past four yeaE,
we have every asO TO fear for the
worst, but hope for the best, and the
concurrent information would encourage
the belief that General Grant is deter
mined to restore the era of peace ard good
fellowship. The President has the power
TO accomplish great goOd-tOr restore frs
ternal confidence among the people,
which is everywhere the only sure basis
Of national harmony. The Southern
people have received the late Presiden-
tial election with admirable composure.
In the present attitude, the South should
make no factious wal against the new
administration Of General Grant. Our
PEOPLE should watch and wait. Their
own local cares and concerns will give
employment for all their energy. No
va should be waged against General
Grant unless he proves by his acts, mes
ages to Congress and his inaugural ad-
dress, that he is utterly devoid Of patriot
ism. and prefers the fame Of a sectional
aemagogue to that Of a national patriot
80 far as General Grant will support and
uphold the constitution, manifest a dis
POSITION to bury the mad passions born in
civil war, and give to the country an
honest and economical administration
uf the government, he viii find cordial
friends in the Southern people. fGen-
traI Grant will divest himself of all par
" bigotry, consult only the interest of
the whole country, and disregard the
oIamors of the partisan offce-seekers,
lie will immortalize his name. The
.o0d men Of the party that elected him,
. is OWL friends, and the Democracy OF
the country who ask no favons at his
hands, will unite in giving success to
lis administration. The people of the
ration, irrespective Of party lines, have
given in advance no small share Of
their confidence, and there is a gene
IA disposition to judge the Presi-
dent elect with candor, and put the
most favorable construction upon his
sets. It remains to be seen how far this
] atri0tic~ disposition will be justified by
the sequel. There is a growing belief
that General Grant possesses much Of
the iron viii and lofty patriotism of
Andrew Jackson, and that he viii not
end himself to the wild schemes Of the
.gots, who care nothing for the country
and the necessity for peace so long as
ley can prosper by turmoil, strife, and
~=rsecuting a defenseless people. III
,-eneraI Grant is equal to his opportuni-
les, he will soon inspire the love, and
.1mmand the applause Of every patriot,
md all will be able to exclaim,
aPeace is tinkling on n shepherds bell,
And singing with the reaper"
