1864 AND 1879.

Harper's Weekly has reached a bad
eminence in its support of Grant, and
in defamation of Grants opponents
has descended to the depths of the
satanic press. In 1864 the Weekly
contained an admirable article against
military Presidents. If it was forcibie
and convincing then, how much more
50 now. seven years after the war then
being waged had ceased! Below we
give an extract, with the remark that
it was written by Curtis, who is now
throwing dirt at Horace Greeley
through the columns of the same
journal. This Inconsistency is ex-
planned, however, by the fact that
Curtis now belongs to Grant:
Emerging from any great war. and
especially from a civil struggle. the
devotion of an army and its officers to
their chief is an incentive to personal
ambition, and a danger to civil liberty
SO vast and obvious that it needs but
to be named; for history is the record
of governments overthrown and peo-
pie subjugated by victorious military
leaders. But we are not driven to an
cient or ever modern history to find
the evidence of these truths. The
spirit that solicits a military head of
the Government is simply hat of deS-
pOtism. The a~Scendancy so long
maintained in this country by the
policy, under the au spices
of what was called sDemOcracy," wa
due to the absolute annihilation of the
fundamental rights of a free Govern
inent-the right of debate. And when,
under the same name, a plea is made
a military Presidential candidate,
it ought to surprise no man that the
ardent supporter of the PROPOSE
ton says plainly of one of our Generals
Of our armies: He must have as little
respect for these wretches as Caesar
had for Rome BY the wretches ;
he describes the lawful, constitutional
authorities of the Government and he
upon a military leader to set
aside as Napoleon did the Con
vention and Cromwellth the Parliament.
This is the spirit from which a mill
tary candidacy springs. 1t is impa
of constitutional rule. 1t is the
of despotIsm. Let US hope
hat the people of the country, in so
a crisis as the present,
sill be governed by some principle
profound than mere enthusiasm
or a soldier. When the soldier has
shown the qualities for civil rule that
displayed. he may Justly

WHAT GRANT HAS DONE.

The Chicago Tribune gives the fol
lowing schedule of Grants officia
acts, which we commend to the rare,
full consideration of candid and intel.
lIgent readers. 1t says:
He has accepted gifts, and rewarded
the givers with office.
lie has tempered with the indePend-
ence and integrity of Congress, by per
sonaily soliciting members to favor
his San Domingo scheme.
He has employed the armyt to do the
work Of the constable, and has sus-
spended the writ of habeas corpus in
time of profound peace.
He has upheld the infamous carpet
bag rule n the Southern States, and
thereby impoverished the white people
of that section.
He has menaced the independence
of Hayti, while protesting to be the
especial friend of the colored race.
He a shamefully abused the APP
pointing power, by selecting for his
cabinet the commonest of men whose
names-spelt by the unlettered muse
had else remained unknown.
He has set himself up for a second
term in an office which he must know,
and which he half confesses, that he
is unsuited for.
He has ostracised every public man
who has had the independence and
manliness to differ from him.
