contrast with the many splendid Dement'S con.
ferred on the country by Grants administra.
ton, its errors and mistakes are to the impair
tial critic, but as spots on the sun.
Of the good effect of his management of the
finances, and of his general policy upon the
material interests of the country, we have the
est evidence in the fact the men who have
the most at stake-the business men of the
country-are foremost and most strenuous in
favoring his continuance in office for the sake
Of maintaining unimpaired the stability and
prosperity their affairs now enjoy.
The friends of peace and advoostes of hui
mainly, look with thanktulness and admira-
ton upon his application of the law of kind
ness to the treatment of the Indians, and upon
the amicable settlement Of the difficulty with
England which he has secured.
/ They see in the submission of questions
dark with threats of war, to peaceful arbitra-
ton by the chief soldier of the age, whose
call to battle great people would have obeyed,
! the suspicious dawn of a better era when
when passion and pride of power will be BAN
ished from the councils of nations to give
| place to justice and mutual forbearance. 1t
has been well said that either of these meas
ures is sufficient by itself to nobly signaize
| his administration.
| His government has been most lust and
generous towards our fellow citizens of the
South-just, in that it has protected the weak
and law abiding from the persecution of reck-
| less ruffians, to whom all law but their own
| will is hateful :-generous-too generous some
| believe, in restoring all rebels, save some two
hundred of bad emihence, regardless of their
non-repentance, to full citizenship in the
state they tried to destroy.
| The great work and the unparalleled mag
nanimity of republicanism are best epitomzed
by the spectacle of emancipated slaves and
| l,.t. no.
Of the nation. Surely we cannot withhold
| approval from SO grand record, nor with
drew our confidence from the party and the
President who have built it up,-nor can we
have stronger assurance for the future than
the past affords.
What better things have we reason to ex-
pect from the new Confederacy, the alliance
of Cincinnati and Baltimore, that presents
itself for our suffrages? What attractive
grace, what trust awakening purity dwell in
the aspect of these mourners OF the ''lost
cause" these wholesale incendiaries, midnight
raiders, OF these men around US to whom the
| revcrses of our arms were a JOY, and our vic
tories a bitterness:
The conversion their friends profess for
them is the result of long meditation that
gave no sign, or 1t is sharp shock of convic-
ton; in either case it is all too sudden for
belief.
