THE Grant men have no faith in free
press. A Grant orator, speaking in one OF
the New York districts recently, said, 81
look upon the public press as public nui-
sance, and the people ought to arise in
their majesty and put down the newspapers
which malign our President"
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-08-25

IT is patent TO every man possessing the
sense of goose, that Grant is utterly IN
competent to discharge the duties Of the
Presidential Office. During the term now
nearly finished, he has not shown in 3
single instance the smallest amount OF
capacity for the positienhe is filing. He
has By No word or action indicated, in the
slightest degree, that be is any more fit to
be President than the groom who night
and morning curries his horses.

mEAN mIsREPaf sENTATIoN.

1t is well known to every reader of the
UNION AND AMERICAN that it has an ag-
ricultural department; that the agricultural
has nothing to do with the political depart
ment; that each is devoted to an entirely
different subject; that the agricultural edi-
tor has nothing to do with the political, and
the political nothing to do with the agricul-
tural department. 1t is also further known
to all readers ofthe UNION AND AMERICAN
that the fence question-fence or no fence
has been for months a subject of discus
sion among the farmers who are readers
and contributors TO the UNIoN&AAERIcAN.
1t is also well known that one of the
agricultural correspondents of the UNION
s. AMERICAN, on the fence subject wrote
over the signature of A. j. All this is
well known 20 the readers of the UNION s.
AMERICAN, and especially to its Nashville
contemporary, the Banner. In our issue
of the 23d there appeared In the agricultural
department a Communication from
"Giles county Tennessee" dated
"Aug, s." signed "a. is" directed "to the
editors of the UNION AND AMERICAN
under the heading "Fence Question"
No one can read that article without per.
ceiving that it is in reference to the "Stock
Law" that there is nothing political to 1t,
that it is not from Andrew johnson of
Greene, but from ga. j." of Giles. The
blindest man must see it; the most
ignorant must know it. Yet the Banner
devotes a half column to "a. j." ''ON THE
FENCE" endeavoring thereby to create the
impression thaG the article to which it re-
fers was political and not an agricultural
article, and that the writer "a. j." was An
drew johnson. In all this the Banner was
guilty Of willful and mean misrepresen-
tatiOn.

THE asses who are managing the Rsdi-
cal campaign in Alabama are wasting their
own time and squandering the peoples
money by having one hundred thousand
copies of the ordinance of secession printed
for circulation as a Grant campaign docu,

ought to supplement it with true and i'm
partial history of the whisky rebellion in
Pennsylvania, and an account Of the doings
of the Hartford Convention.

NOTES of encouragement in regard to
the Presidential contest reach us even from
Vermont. The Montpelier argus an
nounces the appearance of crack in the
hitherto impenetrable shell Of Grantism In
that State. So rapid and all absorbing is
the spread of the Liberal movement that
even the candidates of the Grant party are
now suspected of leaning toward Greeley
and Brown; and the Rutland county
committee are so exercised on the sub
ject that they have addressed a letter to
all the local candidates, questioning them
as to their loyalty. Hon. w. T. Harrabin,
of Bennington, has written graceful and
manly letter, endorsing the nomination of
Mr.. Gardner for Governor in the strongest
terms, and entirely coinciding with tie
preference of a Liberal Republican canei-
date by the convention, and Gen. KilpatHck
is putting the spurs to Grant in the most
unmerciful manner. When such things
take place In Vermont, what may noSbe
expected in other portions of the UnionA

A sTANDEROUs REPORT.

Afa1se report concerning Marshal Pack.
ards expenditures for election purposes
has been circulated by the Washington
Associated Press reporter, and severely
commented upon by at least one Of QUE
Ioca! papers. Vt is perhaps superfuo9s to
say that the Associated Press reporters do
not confne themselves 20 the truth when
a Republican official is 10 be attacked;
also that the paper alluded to is not over
anxious as 20 the reliability Of its data
when q similar object is in view.
But we say that the entire accusation is
false. First, that Marshal Packard has
been accused Of enormous expenditures
by any responsible authority; second, that
his drafts covering these payments have
been estopp6d or rejected by the treasury.
viii the Times have the honesty &c
amend its criticism?
