NOTHING NBW.

The Democrats or so-casled
Liberal Republicans are very busy
circulating false reports concern
ing the character and abilities OF
Gen. Grant. No person at all
familiar with the political history
of our country will be in the least
surprised at this, for the course has
been pursued by the disaffccted
and sore headed during every ad-
ministration from Washington to
the present time. The name OF
Washington is now justly dear 10
the American people, yet at the
close of his second term, when he
left the seat of government to re-
tire to his home in Mount Vernon,
the Aurora journal then publish
ed in Philadelphia, thus referred
to him: III ever there was a
period for rejoicing, this is the mo-
ment. Every heart in unison with
the freedom and happiness of the
people, ought to beat high with
exul:ation that the name Of Wash
ington from this day ceases to
give currency 10 political iniquity,
and to legaIised corruption. A
new era is now opening upon US;
an era which promises much to
the people, for public measures
must now stand upon their own
merits, and nefarious projects can
no longer be supported by nme
It is u subject OF the greatest
astonisbment that a single indi-
vidual should have carried his de-
signs against the public liberty
SO far as to have put in jeopardy
its very ex:stance. Such, however
are the facta, and with this staring
US in the face this day ought to be
a jubilee in the United States .
Such language would cow be con.
demned by the whole American
people; yet at that time there were
many SO carried away by theil
personal spite against the Father
of his Country as to approve Of
scch sentiments
Andrew Jackson, whose honesty
and integrity is now fully rccog
nized by the American people wa:
most brutally assailed by his polit
ical opponents. But there is ne
necessity of going back to the ear
lier days of the Republic to find ,
parallel for the unprincipled war
fare that is now being made agains
Grant. Abraham Lincoln, as pur,
minded and patriotic q man al
ever lived, was, during his Who'll
term of office, assaiIea by the sci
same men that are now spittin.
their venom upon Grant.
The malignant and unprinciplet
assaults that were made upon tn
character OF this great and goo,
man, by the Democrats OF the Ma
ton, are recollected by his friend
at this time; and no true friends o
Lincoln can look with any favo
upon the efforts now made by hi
enemies to blast the reputation an,
good name Of his true friend an,
supporter, u. S. Grant.
| SANDERS, falsehoods and mis-
representations, are to-day th
principal weapons Of the Democ
racy-the same ~ they we're il

GREELEY AND THE "MAGICAL
WASH.POT.D


The most powerful arguments
against the present position Of
Horace Greeley are the ones ut
tered by himself. Here is an ex-
tact, clipped from the Tribune of
May %, 1855. Judge Chase was
the victim at that time of the Pres
idential fever. Horace laughed at
his weakness, and charged him
with selling his principles for the
prospective hope of Democratic
seat In the White House. Poor
Horace; he little dreamed that an
other election would find him more
sadly afflicted than Chase! But
the Presidential fever has seized
him; it must run its course, and
Greeley like Chase, will awaken
from is delirium to curse the hour
that led him from the great party
Of freedom into the camp of his
lifelong enemies. But let Horace
Greeley be heard on this subject.
Though ambition has changed the
man, his words remain tho same.

WHAT n. G. KNOWS ABOUT THE FUSION
OF DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.
There is an old jest in the law
books Of certain knight whose
silk stockings had been so often
darned that it became q question in
chancery whether they. should be
legally considered the original
hose or substantially a different
pair. We are reminded of this
by the thick flying rumors of the
future pious intentions of the ven
cradle Democratic party, and of a
scheme to weave certain Republi-
can threads into tho looped and
windowded raggedness of this
rather shaky organization. The
story is, that when the National
Convention meets great magical
wash-pot is to be set up, in which
the party will proceed to clean it.
self of all its old opinions, whims,
notions. and traditions, go that it
can stand before the people bright
and regenerated, renewed, and re-
deemed, dirtless, and disenthralled!
We once heard judge say that he
did not see why trover conld rot
be brought for house, and if the
Republican platform is to be car
ried off in bulk, we must certainly
try to find out some way of getting
itback again. Very little has been
said lately about the abduction and
APPROX ration of Chief Justice
Chase, but we warn His Honor
still to keep upon his guard; and
we must extend our warning to the
entire Adams family, against which
we have reason to believe the most
nefarious designs are CT tsrtained.
It is curious that The vain part of
this precious scheme should be the
capture OF couple Of STRAY Repub-
licsne. The touching confidence
which presupposes that Chief Jus
tice Chase is to be had for The
asking, would not seem to argue a
very high opinion Of the integrity
OF human nature; and we really
should have such an opinion. But
the beauty Of the business is the
business is the nomination Of an

THURSDAY. DECEMBER .. Isas.

As was expected, the "citizeuS'" meeting,
last night, rennminated Mayor Very. and, also,
put in nomination four candidates for alder
men, one of whom, w. Il. Jourdan of the third
ward, is iolcrably sure of being elected, as he is
also the republican candidate for that ward 1t
can he added truthlully that he is eminently ct
to be elected alderman. The people of Worces-
fer ought, Just now, to be able to vote intei-
gently for mayor, so far as Mr. Very is con-
cerned, for he has had the management of our
city affairs, since the beginning ofthe present
year, and the voters are in a condition to judge
for themselves whether his reelection is desira-
bic. They have observed what he has done
well, and, also, what he has done TO provoke
sharp criticism. We suspect that he will not
receive now the same overwhelming vote which
was given him last year.
In a speech accepting the nomination, Mr..
Very made brief defense of some things in
his administration which have been criticised,
and gave a statement of the financial condition
of the city. We give full report of this speech,
in order that he may have the fair play of a
hearing beyond the audience to which it was
addressed. If we understand correctly the
criticism so generally bestowed upon the po-
lice department under his administration, it is
directed not so much against special cases of
delinquency as against what is regarded as
general inefficlency in the management of
the force. A more rigid and efficient
management OF the police force might
have prevented some of the special oc-
currences complained of, although it could not
have made the men concerned in them fit 10 be
policemen. We suspect there will be some i'm
provement in this matter, next year, whether
our next mayor shall be Mr. Jilson or Mr..
Very. But there are other matters quite as i'm
portant at the present time, which the voters will
take account OF at the polls. The truth is, our
city affairs need a mayor who has the very best
practical business ability and financial skill, as
well as aptitude for organizing the police force
