One More SANDER Disposed Of.

The Oneida madison co., Dispatch Of
this week publishes the following brief
but emphatic note from the venerable
Gerrit Smith:
Publishers of the Oneida Dispatch:
see in the Democratic Union of yester-
day the following:
"'He is man so utterly unfit for the
place that it amaZes me how he could
have secured it, wrote Gerrit Smith to
Wendell Phillips of Grant a year after
the President was inaugurated."
This is a base and wicked falsehood.
The last two months before the election
in 1868 l spent in going over the State to
address public assemblages in behalf of
General Grants nomination. The day
after the election wrote public letter
to President Grant, and l closed it in
these words:
With the highest respect for your in
terest and the deepest gratitude for your
services to our beloved country.
GERRIT SMITH.
From that day to this l have not writ
ten one line to Wendell Phillips nor to
any other person in disparagement OF
President Grant. From that day to this
l have believed him to be an honest and
able man.

they could not get rebel and Democrat?
Does anybody doubt that if the elections in
New Hampshire, in Oregon, in Connecticut,
had given reasonable promise of Demo.
cratic victory, the Overtures of Mr.. Greeley,
and the alliance of Mr.. Sumner would have
been spuIned with contempt? They seek
to substitute Greeley for Grant to day just
as they would have been glad to substitute
Mcclellan for Grant at the head of our ar
mics during the war; Undoubtedly they
like Greeley's principles better than Grants.
They like the generashp of Bull Run better
than the generalship of Vicksburg. They
like his principle that States have a right to
secede. They like his talk about domi-
nant race. They will accept reconciliation
with him Just SO far as he will consent to be
their tool in revenging themselves on the
men who subdued their rebellion and the
men who deprived them of their slaves.
One or two simple facts ought to settle the
question in any candid mind. When the civil
rights bill was offered in the House, the
Democrats used up the morning hour in fill
clustering during every Monday of the ses-
sion. thereby preventing a vote.
When the bill to aid education passed the
House, distributing the proceeds of the pub
lie lands according to illiteracy for the com
mon schools, every Democrat from the South
but two voted to reject the boon.
Several times during the session did the
Democratic party vote against declaration
that the three great amendments were bind
ing although just before adjournment some
of them voted to accept them, they all voted
against the legislation for their enforcement.
Wherever the Democracy get power In the
South, there the common school system goes
down.
TO whom are these men reconciled? Not
to General Grant. They hate him because
he saved the Republic. They hate him be-
cause he put down the Ku-Klux, although
| in both he but did his duty to his country,
| and executed the will of the people. Not
to you or me. Their speech and their presses
are filed with expressions of hatred to US.
| Not to the colored men of the South, not to
the loyal emigrant from the North. For
them they have the Ku- klux Khan. Not
even to Mr.. Sumner. The Richmond En-
quirer has declared, since Mr.. Summers
letter, that the people of the South despise
Charles Sumner as they despise Cutfee. They
may be reconciled to Horace Greeley, the
man who believed in the right of secession
under the Constitution, the man who was
tor paying for the slaves, the man who baileC
JEFF. Davis, the man who is for leaving the
civil rights of the colored man to be deter
mined by the dominant race.
| We offered them reconciliation in 1860
They had only to submit quietly to an cleo
ton under the Constitution, by majorit.
of the American people. We offered then
reconciliation in 1868. They had only II
let men live in peace in their dwellings
They now impose, as condition OF recon
