GOVERNOR wnYTE on GRANT.
"Whut is your opinion Of General
Grant as the next Presidential caudi-
date?"
ale has no horizon but his own per.
sonal comfort. lie seems to be the
most thoroughly selfish man that ever
held public station. lie has an idea
that the offices Of the country are
created for his personal aggraudizment.
His Administration boasts that it has
paid off large portion Of the national
debt, ignoring the people who furnished
the money. Take for instance, our own
State of Maryland, which was, in 1871
IN hopeless condition, financially.
Our people took upon themselves,
almost unsupported, the whole burden
oftaxation, redeeming their public faith
aud have gone on paying their interest
and eleyating the State credit, but the
officers OF the State have never claimed
credit for handing the peoples money.
They have given credit to the people for
paying the taxes.-There is but little
virtue in being the conduit pipe con.
Veying money from the pockets Of the
people into the pockets of the shoddy
contractors who now hold the public
debt. The virtue is in the people, who
have borne, without a murmur, these
iniquitous cxactions"

"Will not Senator Summers letter
have great influence on the negro

thoroughly educated in the Union
League to support nobody but the Re-
publican Radical candidate. They are
just as likely to abuse Senator Sumner,
as having deserted them aud gone over
to the Democratic party, az they abused
Greeley. The same argument is made
now as it was before-that all opposi.
ton to the Administration is by those
who wish to drive them back to slavery.

they attempt to advise rebellion against
