AN Address to the People Of Ten-

CONCLUDED FROM YEsTERDAY.]
President Grant had two great duties to
perform when he came to the Office OF
President. One was to reconcile the long
estranged sections to each other. The
other was to reconcile the discordant races
to heir new relations. At the close Of bis
term we find him as far from the true mis-
sion of his administration as when he first
began, and his friends are now earnestly
engaged in perpetua;ing the spirit OF antag-
onism. To remedy this evil and others,
patriotic ard independent men sought to
call out the great heart of the American
people into action. They nominated Hor-
ace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown for the
offices of President and Vice President.
They announced as their platform substan-
TALLY the doctrines announced by Mr.Jef-
ferson in his first inaugural address. 1t Is
unexceptoaable. No man has ventured TO
call in question It's great merits and gener-
Gus purposes. Mr.. Greeley in his letter of
acceptance says: 81 accept your nomina-
ton in the confident trust that the masses
of our countrymen, North and South, are
eager to clasp hands across the bloody
chasm which has too long divided them,
forgetting that they have been enemies in
the joyful consciousness that they are and
must henceforth remain brethren" MIR.
Summer: "Freely | accept the hand that is
offered, and reach forth my own in
friendly grasp. l am against the policy of
hate; am against tanning ancient flames
into continued life; | am against raking the
ashes of the past for Goals of fire yet barn.
ing. Pile up the ashes, extinguish the
flames; abolish hate" Mr.. Doolittle in his
Baltimore speech: "This union (of Liberal
Republicans and Democrats3 means equal
rights to all men, white as well as black;
instead of strife, hate and robbery, it means
justice, peace, loyalty and good will" l
might continue these extracts indefinitely
to The same purpose. It is the rainbow of
promise after our long dark tempest of
horrors. 1t is the resurrection of confidence
aud hope for every section and citizen Of
the republic. The Grant men offer Us g
conquered dependence with the drawn
sword as the arbiter Of discussions. What
does the conduct of the administration
promise us in its policy? The faithful col
lection of the taJeS. President Grants
Board of Commissioners appointed to pre-
scribe rules for civil service reform, declared
that one fourth of the revenue was lost 10

boosted success Of the administration.

10 support lno military leaOer OF SeCGl0nal-
ism? 1t is gravely urged that Grant per-
mitted the officers of Lees army at the sur
render $40 retain their side arms and pri-
rate property" What q marvel of gener-
osity! lie did not turn these War-worn SOL
diars naked upon the world. Again, it is
said that at the earnest request of that
thoughtful and feeling man, Gen. Lee, he
permitted the soldiers TO retain their own
horses. Could man have refused such 0
request? To have acted otherwise, would
have disgraced an AlvG. Why was not the
order OF Grant TO Sheridan to desolate the
Shenandoah Valley and it's faithful execu-
ton, produced as an evidence Of a generous
hearted soldier? .-..-..
We propose not to discuss the merits Of
Gen. Grant as soldier. We Weld that;
but his friends are not sati SIZED; he must
be q statesman. He is thrust at once into
the White House, and like Christopher
Sly III the Lords bed-chamber, when he
became conscious, he discovered himself
surrounded with all the luxury of royalty,
and trains of servants saluting him with

Sam l lord? or do dream?n
81 do not sleep: 1 see, Ihear, 1 speak;
smell sweet savors and feel soft things;
Upon ny life am a lord indeed;
And not tinker nor Christopher Sly.''
By this process Grant became a mighty
statesman. He is the American Cavour,
the modern Washington, revised and i'm
proved.
Many eminent citizens not satisfied that
the office OF the Presidency was a proper
subject for a jest, and rot content to wit
ness the rapid march of generalization
without an effort for reform, met in Gin
cinnsti and put in nomination an eminent
American citizen. The NOMINEES was not

1a FEAR Or DEATH.-It hass happened
that have seen many men and women
die. Without design or disposition on my
part, l have very many times been pres
ent when sick persons were ebbing to
eternity. | have seen men and women
young and old cultivated and ign orant
orthodox and hctcrodox, in their last
moments, aud, us rule, all of them
passed away, il not without regret, at
least with entire resignation. None of
them showed dread of the future. Their
though were fixed on what they were
qui ting, not on what they were going
to. observed that some of them were
troubled, perhaps distressed when they
first thought they could not recover,
but that, the nearer their end came, th G
less apprchensive aud calmer they grew
Having once banished hope, tranquility
seemed TO descend upon them as sab
stitute, and afterward, if free from physi-
cal pain, there was unruflied peace. If
encouraged to believe they might get
we'll, or if they had favorable turn,
the old anxiety, with something Of the
former apprehension, reappeared; prov
ing that their mental disquietudc was
born or their expectations Of life, not of
their fear Of death. Thus was establish
ed clear analogy between material and
spiritual anguish under the same circum
stances. AS we have seen, they who are
badly hurt, or seriously i'll, experience
suffering in going back to life, while
the downward path to death both for
the body aud the soul is paved with
smoothness aud serenity.
