ETCHED BY A WEEKLY EDITOR

The President of the United States has been
posing for his portrait to the artist of that
excellent religious newspaper, The Christian
Union; and the result has been something Like
the photograph of a sitter upon whose nose, at
the supreme moment has settled the untimely
fly. Indeed, the whole article reminded us at
once of the imaginary creature with descrip-
ton of which HOraces ArS POetica opens-the
horses neck, the human head and the feath-
cred limbs, all most curiOusly and anonymously
conioined! The delineatOr takes pains to tell
us what Gen. Grant is not, the purpose being
to present him as man pOrtentOusly solemn
and philosophically lethargic-a kind of Bur
leigh given over to an indOmitable reticence, but
with miraculOusly eloquent way of nodding.
The President, we are told, is "not an orator."
That's fact! "NOr an enthusiast. True as
the Gospel "NOr snowy man." but that
depends upon what kind of a show is wanted.
He has no tricks" which, curiously enough,
is precisely what the Encouragement might
say of horse. He is helplessly silent" and
this, we suppose, is the reason why so many
of his friends try to help him by being hope
lessly garrulous. :" He is unimpassiOned,n and
this also is the reason why so many of his
friends get into passion in his behalf.
Never says this cautious eulOgist, "was a
"less tempting fly thrown upon the unwrnkled
"water." And never do we remember to
have seen Licutenant-General or a General
compared to Fly before. The conclusion is
irresistible that the people to be caught must
be the most thick -witted of gudgeons.
However, we must be getting along with our
description. 1t is with a profound astonish-
ment, amounting almost to a collapse, that we
read: "There is no popular efHervescence at
" fhe name of Grant He does not create en-
"thusiasm.n Men stick to him, but :" it is in
81 calm. dull way" And this is said after
the recent stunning, deafening, rushing, roar
ing exhibition in Philadelphia, where the
&c enthusiasm was, We have q. hundred times
been told, perfectly unbounded; where there
was n simeon OF shouts, n hurricane of bur
rabs. and as we have been given to under
stand. n perfect euroclydon of cheers-a mon
soon, so to speak, of this very personal en-
"thusiasm ~ If it be only lin calm, dull
"wayu that "men stick" to the President how
ar We TO account for the Philadelphia dane
i.g dcrvishes with their spinning waltzes and
wild fore-and-afters, their double-shuilles of
delight, their tarantellas, jigs, and high-lcap-
ing war-polaccasf Call you this sticking to a
man :" in a calm. dull wayY" Wen, it is Gu

rious. Here we have tho portrait Of man
helplessly silent, without passion; man. we
arc told called by some people "a stick" and by
other people ga wooden man." and The
Christian Union discovers that it is because no
is a stick and wooden man. and because he
does not excite popular enthusiasm, that people
go mad with admiration at The sight OF HIM!
There is no "wild enthusiasm OF the popu-
"lacen for him "at all at oil :" but when the
delegates Of the people get together, then the
corybantic exercises begin, all voices are
lifted up in his honor and all faces arc in
famed with admiration There seems to be
little discrepancy here, which, no doubt, the
non -enthusiasts can explain. Just as soon as
they can think of something TO say, they had
better say it
And now, while our hand is in, we may as
well notice the rather remarkable statement
of The Union, which says: 1--WE know of
numbers in the Philadelphia Convention
"who freely confessed that Grant was not
"their personal choice but, said they.
"the common people will not take up
"any other man." o they said that,
did they Numbers" of them said that, did
they7 So while they were roaring and raylng,
bowling, huzzaing, and hip-hip-hurrahing for
Gen. Giant, he was not, all the time, their
personal choice,n and they stuck to him only
for fear of the common peoplep They must
be very uncommon people, indeed, gentlemen,
if they are much obliged to you. And what
kind of Convention was it in which :" the
" common people" were not represented And
suppose these accommodating gentlemen have
made mistake as to the preferences OF the
common people9" Suppose Gen. Grant,
having none Of those ways which excite
popular enthusiasm" should fail to excite it
at all What misfortune for the delegates

ment The South Carolina Democrats, as the

Democracy have gone further, embodylng Mr.

cepting the nominees. Vermont and Missouri
Democratic State Conventions have substan-
tally done the same, and the flood tide OF the
great reform movement appears to be fairly
rushing in. The current certainly sets but IN
