Dictator Grant.

Parson Brownlow, Of Tennessee, a man oc.
cupying prominent position as one of the
leaders in the Grant party, in letter pub
lished in an administration organ at Wash.
lngton, and another one in the New YORK
Sun, openly and plainly states that, "he favors
making Grant President for hys," with this
qualification: "rather than that the liberals
should carry any presidential election" As
yet. not solitary republican newspaper re-
buke this revolutionary scheme, though pre-.
tending to be par excellence the party of the
republic.
So great is Grants power and 90 immense is
his patronage that they, even if so inclined,
have not the moral courage to even enter the
nildest remonstrance! Acting as they do
with eyes blinded, they begin perhaps to ap-
preciate the fact that they have reckessly Civ
en- in to the hands of one man such power
of money and official patronage as an Empe-
ror or Dictator might envy. Grant is as Sc
curely placed in the presidential chair for life,
IS any sovereign Of Europe upon his throne
syAvoAA0 ohSA SuiO WCIC CdIIleu DIV
Grants party at the October elections by the
use of money, and that money came out of the
national treasury. Those state elections car.
ried with them the presidential election.
These are facts that no one can successfully
refute.
The means by which Grant reelected him.
self in 1872, can be repeated IN 1876 and every
four years thereafter, unless sooner lie should
get tired of the farce of elections and proclaim
himself Dictator.
A dispatch to Cincinnati paper from
Washington announces that at recent in
terview Of his Highness, Grant, by a number
Of prominent republicans, 1t was agreed then
and there that the canvass is to commence
moo to make Grant president for the third term,
and malcontents, or the few that presume to
disrelish the fiat that has gone forth, are to
be coaxed or whipped In.

to support the constitution. violated their Of
fetal oath? Many other things may be intibi-
ted or allowedby the constitution of Illinois. of
which the constitution of the U. 8. takes no
cognizance. For very good and substantial
reasons the constitution renders "peniten-
tiary brid" ineligible to congress or any other
office, yet should our people he fools enough to
send such character to congress, as some of
the southern states, under carpet bag rule,
have actually and repeatedly done, would
congress pay any attention to the local state
prohibition Yet would 1t not be violation
OF our state constitution for all that, and an
outrage besides?
The point made on Oglssby's eligibility
is one that may we'll be regarded as stumb-
ling block to such members of the legislature,
at least, as may have any tenderness in regard
to their official oath.
