These facts will not have escaped
the recollection of the people, and
in the present issue Of veracity be-
tween Gen. Grant and Gen. Pleas
anton the unprejudiced and I'M
biased public will unhesitatingly
decide in favor of the latter, for the
man who will lie once will lie again
upon occasion. 1t is painful to us
1t must be painful to any AmerI-
can citizen-tO write thus of the
President of the United States but
the "truth of history" must be
vindicated," even if one occupy
ing so exalted position has to
suffer thereby.
We would ask the country to bear
in mind that the refusal of Gen.
Grant to resign the Office of Secrc-
tary of War when requested to do
SO, ana subsequently turning the
Office over to Stanton, whom the
President had removed, aud who
was not Secretary of War, was rev.
dictionary, and shows that Grant,
being General of the Army, was
then ready to overthrow the Gov
ernment! A man who commits d
revolutionary act at one time will
not hesitate to do so again.
Let us, then, not retain Gen
Grant in power a moment longer
than We can get rid of him. Let us
all vote for Uucle Horace.

noble Horace Greeley becomes our
Chief Magistrate. The people have
found in him a man without fear or
reproach a man whose veracity has
never been questioned; man
whose heart is as large as his cOun-
try; a man who has always been
Outspoken Oh all occasions and un-
der all circumstances man who
cannot be bribed or corrupted by
the offer of money, lands, sea side
cottages or palaces. Our columns
are now on the advance, and are
daily acquiring vast numbers of re-
cruits. With sucn accessiOns to
our leaders as. Banks and Sumner,
and the recent glorious victory in
North Carolina, we expect q most
complete triumph next November.
Forward, March!

The latest reports from North
Carolina confirm the election of
Caldwell by 1000 majority. 1t is
certain that the Liberals have a ma
.jority in the Legislature, and can
thereby secure the election of a Lib
eral Senator in place of Pool; also
five Liberal Congressman out of
eight. Merriman, it is stated, will
contest the election of Caldwell.
The Liberals can well claim a vic
tory, as the Radicals expected to
carry the State by 10000 majority.

cause? He certainly cannot be de-
sirOus for office or political prOmi-
nence; Ire has that already he can
not wish for money, all mankind
know that he is utterly inreprOach-
able on that score he is in the de-
cline of life, cannot live more than
two years, so his physicians think.
Therefore the words of wisdom
with fall from his lips. from the ne
gro stand point, appear like the
solemn words of the dying father as
he gathers around him his little
ones and gives them his last advice.
Let but the practical Northern man
be persuaded that the race he has
shed his blood for, and consecrated
the best years of his life to fee, is in
capable of gratitude, and has not
the judgment to see who his best
friends are; that he prefers the
government and advice of the wick
ed and ignorant rather than that Of
the cultivated and philanthropic;
that he is now disposed to follow
those who counsel idleness and vice,
hatred and malice, and anarchy
rather than peace and thrift, and
friendship and national prosperity /;
let but these people be once fully
convinced that the negro is not as
the white man, capable of subduing
his passions and understanding the
blessings of good government, and
who that has studied tho history
of this IndOmitable and practical
people doubts for one moment the
course they will pursuei An enemy
to the negro race would advise them
en- n.asse to desert their true friends
to fan the passions Of hate and re-
venge, vote for Grant, and be left
behind forever in the race for liber
ty, education aud moral advance
ment, a friend would say follow
where the great friend of your race
and mankind leads, accept the
white mans friendship, and have
his assistance to win the goal of in
tellectual equality Thus is the
issue made up, Grant, hate and ruin.
OF Greeley, peace, friendship and
national prosperity. Which will
the wise man choose?

The Presidential Canvass.

Never have the people of this
country entered upon a presidential
canvass with purposes more exalted
than have the Liberal Republicans
and Democrats in this canvass.
They engage in no mere struggle
for party conquest. Their purposes
are most noble, unselfish and patri-
otto. They seek to relieve political
affairs from the dominance of party
rings and political tricksters. They
seek to infuse into the people the
highest respect for all constitutional
obligations; they seek to put an end
to the fragrant abuses and alarm
ing usurpations of the present adj
ministration; in the language of
Senator Sumner, in his late letter
to Speaker Blaine. "They seek to
defeat the reelection of President
Grant, with his pretensions and his
rings; a vote for whom involves
the support of all his pretensiOns,
with prolonged power in all the
rings" There are no well-defined
political differences between parties
now and the chief concern, therefore,
is to examine the antecedents and
qualifications of the two opposing
candidates, in order that we ascer-
tain which of them would more like
ly give us an able, honest admins
tratiOn.
Grant has been tried and found
wanting. AS long speech as ever
Grant made was, "Let MS have
peace and this was made the great
rallying cry of the Republican party
around the standard of Gen. Grant,
when he was elected President. The
nation now desires peace, and is de-
termined to have it. Peace must
come not only in the North, not
only in one section, but throughout
the whole nation-North, South,
East and West. Three and a half
years of Grants term have expired,
and his pledge has not been re-
deemed, but the majority of the
people, or rather all outside of the
of the military
Junta at Washington, have con-
cluded that he never will redeem
his pledge, and that he shall take
bis departure for Galena on the
4th of March next. The people of
the whole nation are determined to
try a different experiment. from
Grants, and in the nomination. of
Greeley and Brown, they hold out
the hand Of peace, and offer the same
rights to the South as are enjoyed
at the North. They have deter
mined to release us from Ku Klux
laws, travelling armies and carpet
bag rule. The dynasty now domi-
nant at Washington will be over
thrown. The tide of corruption
into every channel OF pub
lie service will be hurled back. The
heresy of Capitalization, fast ap-
Imperialism, will be
throttled. The Auscan stable Of
our government will be cleansed
and purified. Men who are honest
and capable will again be appoint
ed to office. Economy in the adj
of our government will
be restored the best interests of
the people will be promoted; and
will again reign through
out the whole country, and among
all classes and cOlOrs of people. The
fierce resentments caused by the late
war will be forever qnelled. The
lawn of better era is at hand, and
will be fully inausurated, when the
capable, honest, patriotic and truly
