He received some documents, which con-

The People and the Government.

In recent speech in favor of the cleo
ton of Mr.. Greeley, General Banks re-
marked that this was q contest in which
the Government was arrayed against the
people, spectacle which, he added, was
now for the first time presented to the
country. The General was very emphatic
on this point, and alluded darkly to civil
war. But to the unsophisticated hearer
and reader the remark was probably very
perplexing How is the advocacy of
the reelection of a President who has
been unanimously renominated by the
delegates of what was, and to all appear
ances still is, great majority of the peo.
pie, who are the rightful source of gov.
ernment-how is this a contest between
the Government and the people Since
the General has left the Republican party,
has he come to the conclusion that the
minority are the people In Vermont
there was an Administration majority of
some twenty-five thousand. That is, in
deed, great victory of the Government ;
but only because it is great majority of
the people. In Maine there was an Ad.
ministration majority in every county of
the State. That also is Government
triumph, but for the same reason. The
people are the Government in this coun-
try. How, then, is an election a contest
between them and the Government
What the General probably meant is
that the friends and officers of the Ad
ministration are warmly engaged in ad-
vocating its continuance. But that is
always the case. The party in power,
whether with a new candidate or with the
incumbent, always endeavors to main.
tain its ascendency. For instance, in
1864, the Republicans renomnated Mr..
Lincoln, and all the friends and officers
of the AdministIatio and General Banks,
vigorously advocated the reelection of
the President. The Government was
then arraYed against the people precisely
as II is now; yet General Banks was "will-
in" The result showed then, as we hope
IL will now, that what the General often.
sively terms "the Government
ing the Administration-wa really the
people-that is to say, the majority. In
Europe, where Governments have gen
orally no proper origin in the expressed
consent of the people, ''the Government "
is word synonymous with more or less
oppression. 1t is superior to the people,
not made by them, not responsible to
them. And Jeiferson's Irishman landing
in this country naturally declared that he
was for the party which was against the
Government.
General Banks would say probably that
the office holders support the Admins.
tration. But is il possible that they
should do otherwise under the present
pernicious system of patronageY Yet the
General does not object to that system.
If the Republican Convention had NOM
mated Mr. Greeley, the oflice.holders
would have supported him, because under
the system the success Of the opposition
would have cost them theirplaces. They
oppose him now most vigorously. And

THE following correspondence has but
recently been made public;
LoSG BRANCH, New Jersey, August "a.
My DEAR GENERAL: l congratulate you
upon the unanimity and enthusiasm of the
Utica Convention on tho occasion of yvuI
nomination for the honorable and RESPONSE
bic position of Governor of the great State
OF New York. Epecially do l congratulate
the citizens of that State, almost irres pee
tive OF party, upon your nomination. be-
lieye you will receive the active support of
the great majority of the best people of the
state, and the secret sympathy of thousands
who may be SO bound up by party ties and
pledges as to force them to support your
opponent
To doubt your election would be to i'm
pugn the intelligence and patriotism of a
people by whose enlightened discrimination
such emlnently good men as TOmpkins, CliL-
ton, Marcy, Wright, Seward, Fish, King aud
Morgan have been elevated to the Chief
Magistracy of the Empire State. With your
election, reforms in the State will naturally
follow, which all acknowledge have been
much needed for years
No one acquainted with the political his
tory of New York for the past eight years
will claim that all the abuses of legislation
arc due to Democratic rule, but members, or
at least pretended members, of both Doliti-
cal parties share the responsibility of them.
When read the proceedings Of the Con
vention of the 21st instant, and of the
unanimity OF feeling in favor of you and
your associates on the State ticket, / felt
that victory had been already achieved, and
reform inaugurated in the State of New
York.
Again congratulate you, not upon the
prospect of being Governor, but upon hay
ing it within your reach to render such SER
vices to your State.
1t is happy day when conventions seek
candidates, not candidates nomination.
This dream has been realized in the action
of the convention of the 21st instant at
Utica, n. Y.
have the honor to be, General, your most
obedient servant, U. S. GRANT.

II cannot possibly be proved, Il must re-
main his opinion. Yet If ever the wish
of a party was plainly manifest, IL was
that of the Republican for the continu-
ance of the President for another term.
There were Republicans like Mr. Greeley,
Mr.. Fenton, Mr. Sumner, Mr.. Upton, Mr..
James NJ Ashley. Mr.. Schurz, Mr.. John
Cochrane, Mr.. Trumbull and Mr.. Depow,
who for various reasons preferred an
other candidate. But Mr.. Greeley was
ready in 1854 TO throw over Mr.. Lincoln,
even after he had been renominated. We
do not say that every Republican wished
the denomination of the President; but
we do say that IL was the general wish of
the party, and that no other candidate
was ever seriously proposed from the
moment that the party preference took
form. Undoubtedly the oflice.holders
were in favor of him, but that they inn
posed the candidate upon the party is not
a fact And that their support shows
that the Government is arrayed against
the people is merely ludicrous whimsey.
Or is the evidence to be found in the
fact that members of the Cabinet have
taken part in the canvassp But is there
anything essentially improper in thisS
The Prime Minister in other countries,
and especially in England, where he is
virtually the chief of the Govern Gent, to-
gether with all his colleagues, constantly
explains and defends his policy in Parla-
ment. But our Secretaries have no voice
in Congress, and the President can take
no part in debates. Is 1t improper that,
while Mr.. Gladstone explains his policy
to the representatives of the English peo-
pie, Mr.. Boutwell, should explain his to
the American people themselyesS Mr..
Gladstone also goes upon the stump,
when Parliament adjourns, to report to
the people; and IL Parliament dlssolves
he appeals to them in support Of his party
and for his own reelection, and all the
other Ministers do likewise.
Is the British Government arraying it.
self against the people when they do So
When General Banks has been renomi-
noted for Congress he has not hesitated to
appear before his constituents virtually
to urge his own reelection. Is not that
quite as improper as that enc of the Sec
retaries should urge the the reelection of
the President? If it is unbeco. ming in
Mr. Boutwell, and Mr.. Delano to advo.
cate the success of their party, which does
not necessarily continue them in office,
how is it seemly for Mr.. Greeley to advo.
cate his own election to the Presidency,
as he did in PortlandY
That one of the wretched results of the
patronage system of the civil service is
dangerously to embitter a Presidential
election, by making it struggle for
bread and-butter, we agree. And the 'one-
term" quackery would not help it. VIII
General Banks support radical reform
of the system by the abolitionof patron
age, even if it goes to fundamental re-
vision of the whole appointing power ?
If not, the Government, or the party in
power, will always be, in his sense, ar
rayed against the people-that is, against
the party that wishes TO get into power,
