Senator Summers bill to limit the
occupancy ofthe Presidential chair
10 one term, is one of those spletul
measures, which grow out Of q de-
termination to crafty q feeling OF
personal hatred at all hazards. Ills
personal hatred to General Grant IS
only equaled by his arrogance N
supposipg that he, like Karl schurz
in his imagined influence over Ger
man Republicans, holds the balance
Of power in the Republican party III
his Senatorial fist. He has yet TO
learn, it seems, that the Republican
party is composed Of elements q
little too wise in the faculty of dis
elimination to be drawn into the
support of a man purely on personal
grounds. Should General Grant
depart in, faith or practice from the
established principles of the Repub'
can party, its adherents would re-
pudiate him as quick and enphati-
alIy as they did Andrew johnson
The popularity ofGeu. Grant ii
the party is based upon his zeal and
sctiyity in maintaining and develop
ing the cardinal principles of the
organization. lie is known and
appreciated by his fruits; and nc
effort Of Sumner, or any other indl
vidual, by means Of measures based
ou personal envy, or hatred, or am
bition, can mislead the party toan]
great extent. A man who make
his disappointments or grievance
the basis ofpolitical action, is un
reliable as q leader, and unworth.

This ."one-terp" principle isa leglt
innate measure Of legislation, but
sprung at this time by Senator Sum
ner, it is properly regarded as ;
movement intended to defeat Gen
Grant. The Democratic party Sc
sccept it, and are promptly wheel
ing into line to give it a most en-
thusiastic support. Like dying men
they catch at every straw, Absorb
every plan, or measure, which prom
ises in the least to aid i'll the defeat
Of President Grant, and save tht
