"a President Grant has expressed

expected from him concerning tn,
Gratz Brown movement in Missouri
He considers it an effort TO disorganiz,
the Republican party without cause
which no good Republican who ha.
the interests of the country at hear
can fail Zealously to combat. How
any man protesting Republieanisn
can fail to take the same view is one
OF the mysteries which only Revenue
Reformers, Tammany Republicans
and other political nondeseripts car

September 81, 1870.
1t is the same boiling squad, with
very few changes, which now pre-,
tends to reorganize the party. 1t is 8
faction that burrows and prowls-that
nominates candidates in order tC
defeat them-that loves darkness
rather than light-that seeks to com.
pensate by finesse and fraud for the
paucity of its numbers and the base
! ness of its aim. We trust it will NOT
forget to hold another Convention.
The more the people are permitted to
see of it, the less danger can there be
that they will be duped by it."-
Tribune, August Is, 1855.
have no doubt that the policy
you suggest is that which your
party 1.-THE Democratsl ought to adopt.
You only err as to the proper
candidate. 1 am not the man you
need. Your party is mostly Free
Trade, and 1 am a ferOcious Protec-
zionist. have no doubt that might
be nominated and elected by your
help, but Il tg0uId place US all IN q
false position. III, who am adversely
interested, can see this, I am sure
your good sense will on reflection
realize it. You must take some man
like Gratz Brown, or Trumbull. or
Gen. Cox, late Secretary of the Inte-
rior, and thus help to pacify and
reunite our country anew p Tribune,

" Mr.. Webster was not only a gen.
tleman, but he had the elements of
moral greatness, aud he had faults as
well. He failed only in one respect,
and in this respect differ from him
he wanted to be President and 1
don't. But for that one misfortune
he would have been the greatest man
America ever produced. We have
seen our greatest man, Mr.. Chase,
making the same blunder. I have
seen men who had the disease early
and died oft at a very old age. Gen.
Lewis Cass died at about 50, and up
to the day of his death he wanted to
be President. No one ever escapes
who once catches the disease; he
lives and dies in the delusion. Being
