The Personal Government
Charge.

For one year and part of another
l had the honor of being participa-
tor in the counsels of General
Grants administration, and L de-
sire to testify, and 1 believe that
what l may say in Massachusetts, will
be accepted a fact, that during the
whole period in which 1 was in the
cabinet councils, 1 never heard a
personal suggestion in regard to his
influence upon one man or another
man, but the consideration simply
was what would be the best for the
country. And when l remember
the simple, clear. headed, practical,
modest man, who sat at the head of
the table there, and then hear him
talked of by MIR. Sumner, 1 think
Mr.. Sumner must be referring TO
somebody else -Sec'y Hoar.

Forgetting the Past.

The real question is one of administra-
tion. Can the government be more
wisely and safely committed to an alli-
ance of which the chief and necessarily
controlling element is the Democratic
party, with the composition, principles,
history, and spirit which are so famil-
lar?
The earnestness of its appeal to forget
the past should arouse the suspicion of
all thoughtful men. For history cannot
safely be forgotten. The attitude of a
party ten years or two years ago cannot
wisely be disregarded. A man wishes to
engage a coachman who will drive his
wife and children. Because the coach
man processes to be sober to-day, is the
fact that last year he was a sot un-
worthy of consideration The Demo-
cratic party promises to respect and en-
force the amendments, and the whole
spirit of the settlement of the war. Is
the fact that it has always contemptu-
ously and bitterly denounced them,
that it believes them to bear harshly
and unjustly upon its especial friends,
of no importance in considering its
probable action? Let US shake hands
over the bloody chasm, says the Demo-
cratic candidate. But who has refused
to do it?-the Democrats, who have
sought to terrorize the colored voters, or
the Republicans, who have declared and
maintained equal rights?
The alternative is not hate, as the
Greeley orators declare. The alterna-
tive is justice. If our Southern fellow
citizens do not mean to be reconciled un-
til they can control the government, il
is not the fault of others. There never
was a victor so magnanimous as the
loyal people of the United States. They
never hated "the South" and they do
not hate it now. But they hated slave
ry, and they love equality and mean to
maintain it; and therefore they will not
forget; they will diligently remember;
and they will trust those whose fidelity
has been proved from the beginning,
not promised on the eve of an election.
