Henry Ward Beecher says: ave
think of New Orleans as a very bad
city, and OF Boston as a very good
city. But 1 would rather undertake
to cure the wickedress that exists at
the bottom of society in New Orleans
than that which exists at the bottom
of society in Boston. The wickedest
men are usually found at the bottom
of the best communities. Why is
this? Because good men, growing
stronger and sympathizing with each
other, confederate, and form a crust of
virtue aud inteliingenre; and they
stand absolutely separated from those
who are below them. There isl gre t
space between h top and the bottom
OF society under such circumstances.
There is no fellowship between them.
The consequence Is that the bad are
sci free from the restraints which sym
pathN, If it existed, would place upon
them. Therefore, in cities thai are
pre- emiEently good, the bad are worse
than they are anywhere else.

The DOM OF GRANT.

1t appears to be much more than
probable that the loom of U. 5. Grant
is sealed. Cincinnati pronounced, and
Baltimore will ratify the fiat which
ordain> his political death and burial
in November next. His nomination
became a necessity which the situation
impeIled. The original idea of the
leaders of the Liberal movement TO
drive him from the field as a candi
date. was shorn of its power by the
packing system under which the
Philadelphia Convention became his
affect slave, N from these and other
causes, the formidable proportions
which that movement acquired rem
dered him doubly Indispensable TO
the dynasty of which he is the per
sonal embodiment and head. No i'm
partial observer can fail to appreciate
the irresistible force and power Of the
great political revolution which is now
in its first stage. Nitalized and ener
Hized by the support which it receives
from the best minds and leadership OF
the old Republican party, the move
ment is already sweeping on with re
si>tleSS momentum in all the Northern
and ina great majority of the South
ern States. Feeble and uncertain al
first, Cincinnati crysiaiized it i'll or
ganlc power and a powerful expires
sion. The proposed coalition is al
ready equal to an accomplished fact.
Baltimore will raIify and consolidate
it, and the universal upheaval o
going on inaugurates one of the most
sweeping political revolutions which
was ever Witnessed in any age or time
i'll 4 free government. The doom Of
Grant is written all over every sign 10y
wL:eh events in the neal future can
he Judged. Men feel the breath OF
the coming storm i'll the very air, and
those only upon whom it is to spend
it's force are. already trembling for
their fate. Men may say it is too soon
to speak with this kind, of confidence
of the result of the contest. This is
what was said in the days of Harrison,
but long before the cyclone came
which overw helmad all opposition,
sagacious men felt aad knew of Its
destructive approach, and with what
certainty it was to tear up the existing
0eder, root and branch. The scenes of
llO are to be. re enacted in. 1872.
