POLITICAL EQUALITY.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading Re-
publican journal in the Northwest, puts it
to Republicans who are content to give
Fred. Douglass honors, and also Longstreet
and other old Confederate officers, while
denying political freedom to the best men
in the South, aaer this fashion:
Time has now fully come when neither
the Law, nor its administrators, nor politi-
cal parties, ought 70 keep alive any distinction
whatever growing ont Of slavery, the re-
belhOn, or reconstruction; and 10 this belief
we have the concurrence of the Republican
party Of Illinois as expressed Ia its last
platform. These distinctions have already
been maintained two or tines wears too long,
and the Southern States have suffered In
their productive industries and social
progress In consequence Ofthem. IL is now
our duty TO see our political EQUALS 10 all
American citizens, and 10 act out what wa
see. If the Southern State Of Mississippi
or Tennessee, under full and free vote for
all. chooses to elect James LOngstreet or
Frederick Douglass, or John MOrrissey to
the United States Senate, let him take his
seat, with whatever influence his past record
and his future course may entitle him &c.
Let him stand on an exact political level
with any other ex-Rebel or mulatto, or prize
fighter who may be there. We have got to
come to this at some time, and why not
now? If this is a sound policy, and nobody
but Democrats advocate It, il viii ultimate
ly bring the Democratic party, as such, into
power; for, in the long run, sound and wise
policies must conquer narrow and foolish
ones. whoever advocates them,

THE SOLDIERS PROTEST AGAINST
GRANT.

Grants administration has become so
careless Of the rights Of citizens, 80 corrupt
in it's efforts to retain power, that the SOL
diers Of the late war who have adhered
with pertinacity to the fortunes of the Re-
publican party, have been forced to protest
against Grants course. The following sig
nihcant circular, issued by Gen. b. A. Bar
nun, Commander-in-Chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has but recently been
made public:
THE ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON, D. c.
April Is, l672.-Dear Sir: The undersigned
have conferred with many representative
soldiers throughout the country, and find
general concurrence of opinion that the
soldiers should raise their voice in protest
against the further progress Of the alarming
disintegratiOn Of the Republican party
which has taken place under the admiuis-
tration Of Gen. Grant. To effect this, the
names OF representative soldiers In the sew
eysl States who hold these views are desired
for the purpose of being appended to call
for Soldiers and Sailors National Conren
ton 10 be held ia New York city in Nav
proximo, which Convention shall formally,
by resolution or otherwise, call
upon the Philadelphia Convention to nomi-
nate candidate other than GRAFT, and who
will unite the party and lead It to victory
If you concur in this movement please TO
inform US within few days, and give us
also the names Of other representative vete-
rais in your State which we may be at lib-
eTty TO use likewise. Very respac- fully,
II. A. BARNUAr, New York,

TIE action Of the Grant Ring in Penn
sylvSnia in nominating Hartranft for Gov
ernor, has produced the most widespread
dissatisfaction ever witnessed in the politl-
csl history of that State. The Philadelphia
Press (FOrney's paper) declares unequiyo-
cally that Hartranft IS unworthy the suf-
frages Of honest men. And the Lancaster
Express, an Administration organ, says:
'Never has there been ticket nominated
since the existence Of the Republican party
which has created such deep and wide
spread dissatisfaction as that formed ct
Harrisburg last week. One cannot walk
Two squares from his home, or converse
with half dozen Of his Republican neigh
bors, without meeting irresistible evidence
Of this fact. 1t does not arise from per
sonal chagrin at the defeat Of any favorite
candidate. Il Is not the dissatisfaction Of
'sorehesds.' Were It only this, it could be
healed In fortnight But it is a principle
IS deep-seated in the honest Republican
heart as the love of Republican principles
ITSELF"
These facts show what kind of man the
"Robber Ring" are trying to force on the
people Of Pennsylvania for Governor.

the Office holders, in the occasional State
Conventions, have come 70 a mystifyiug

toned the strong endorsement from the
Pennsylvania Convention. That unique
gathering endorsed Grant profuseIy-and
nominated Hartrsnft, who is, by half TIE
papers Of his State, openly accused of cor
ruption. The Convention recommended
the Philadelphia delegates to vote for Grant;
1t also condoned the malpractice of the
Ring that has cheated the Commonwealth
out Of millions Of money, and that has
been the head snd front Of the electoral
frauds in the State since Simon Cameron
came TO power"
