ton as leaves no doubt in our minds. of
the death Of Horace Greeley, of New
York, one yf the candidates before the
country for the Office OF president, have
after due deliberation, thought it proper
under all the circumstances, TO cast our
votes for Benjamin Gratz Brown, Of
Missouri for the office Of president, in
yas,nueh as he was the associate Of Mr..
Greeley on the ticket in the political con
test which, as we believe, resulted in our
choice rs electors by the people Of the

But as it appears in the public press
that on this day the funeral OF the late
Mr.. Greeley is taking place, we have
thought it not improper to publicly eX-
press our deep lelt sorrow at this cslam-

Presidents Policy.

| From the Message Of General Grant. we see
| little upon which to base hope of change
| in the conduct of affairs. The centralizing
ideas that characterized the administration
during the past four years are not TO be
abandoned All the indications are that the
legislation of the Union Is to be directed to-
wards strengthening the general government
and concentrating power in the hands of the
Executive. The recommendation 10 Congress
to pass the Postal Telegraph Bill squnts
strongly at imperialism. II the government
should become owner of all telegraph lines
and of course have the apaointma.. of all
telegraph operators and managers, what n
splendid sys,em Of espionage can be at once
inaugurat.d. All private dispatches having
any bearing on the politics Of the country,
will be promptly made known to his Imperial
the army to second him, how long before his
vaultlng ambition would rob the State OF all
power over local Affairs? and how long before
the liberties of the peoples will be taken from
them. Grant has shown no reluctance to Use
power. and having Til. power why 20
tlIOH1U lbc ldlCt VI HnuliIcl tlttllOn! anu
why resist the proposed third term. 1t does
occur to our mind that the most casual OBJ
server of the course of the Republican party
for the years past, can fail to see unmstak-
able evidences of an approaching consoida-
tion efthis Union into great Empire
Whether it Is better to let this quietly come
to pass, rather than suffer the outrages per-
pctrated 10y those who control the ballot box
is grave question. We know this has been
the fate OF most free representative govern
mcnts, and may 1t not be another demonstra-
tlop of the incapacity of men for self-govern-
rent. We had hoped and still Lave a faint
hope, that Grant. after his overwhelming en-
dorsement by the American people, would
despise all party trammels and determine to
bring oar government back to the old con>ti-
tutional path-but the outlook is bad.
