journal having an extensive circulation
among the Irish American population
Of this country
J Can the Democratic party indorse
Greeley and Gratz Brown ? No and a
thousand times no. The attempt of any
corrupt or cowardly leaders to betray
the Democratic party thus would be
only the declaration that the Democrat
c party was captured and had surren-
dered, bag and baggage, body and boots,
to its most implacable enemy. Private
bargains may have been made, but
Democrats will never ratify them. If,
to suppose the impossible, the Demo-
cratic Convention at Baltimore, in next
July, were to nominate no ticket ; and
if no other rally of Democrats to name
ticket were to be made, and we were
to be left with the beggarlychoice bet
when Grant and Greeley-between the
"man on horseback" and the willing
instrument of all the free lovers, In
ternationals," Communists and other
foes of morality, society and religion
the general verdict would be-"Grant

and deliberately, that as a man, Christ

desperate choice, we must use all our

every abomination in America or in
Europe that would dethrone God, re-

If the fight for the next Presidency
were to lie, as it will not, between
Grant and Greeley. we here nail our
colors to the wall. We do not think
1t possible that we could vote for Grant,
or recommend any one to do it. But
what we are sure we can do and must
do, supposing that this tool of the in
famous classes of the Communists, Mr..
Horace Greeley, continues in the field
as Presidential candidate-an event
we do not anticipate-will be to show
that no one, except an idiot, can so in

nett was considered by many the most
remarkable editor that ever lived He
was born in Scotland in 1875, and was
therefore II years old at the time of
his death. The New York Herald
was started By him in 1884, and with
this paper he achieved his great sue
cess and reputation as journalist He
made the obtaining Of news the fund
amental basis of his paper and to this
everything had to give way. He
spent large sums in building up this de-
partment of the newspaper bust less

At first Mr.. Benefits style of journ-
allsm was not of the highest order, and
rooklessness Of principle rendered him

eyer, Mr.. Bennett sought higher fields
in bis profession and published a more
respectable paper. In the display of
Judgment and sagacity in cond ucting
his business he excelled rather than as
a writer. Mr.. Bennett was member
of the Catholic Church, and died ing full
communion with that faith He leaves

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5. 1872.
SENATOR SUMMERS TRADE.

Senator Sumner delivered a long
and bitter speech in the Senate of the
United States, Friday last, in which he
severely denounced President Grant
and made general arraignment of his
administration. 1t is fortunate for the
American people that they are read
ing and thinking people, and have
been educated up to the standard OF
being able to think and act for them
selves in matters pertaining to the con-
dition and general welfare of their
country. Otherwise, the glowing and
poisoned words of the Senator might
have their effect in accomplishing the
purpose for which they were spoken,
namely; The lowering of General
Grant in the estimation Of the people,
and the total disruption of the Repub-
liean party of which Mr.. Sumner
claims to be so valued a member.
In the utterances he made he fell
very much beneath the dignity of the
position he occupies as the peoples
servant and an American citizen.
The regard he should feel for the of
fee of President should have con-
strained to make use Of less
abuse and invective on such an &C.
casion. AS has been truthfully said OF
the speech, it was can exhibition of
supreme egotism mass of assertions
unsupported by evidence or argument
a collection of SANDERS, whose falsity
are only equaled by their absurdity."
Perhaps the most contemplate part OF
the harangue was in dragging into it the
death-bed scene of Edwin NJ. Stanton,
and holding him up to the Senate as a
slanderer and defamer of the President.
A dead man is not in position to de-
fend himself and can be usually quoted |
without any fear of contradiction.
Senator Sumner asserts that Presl-
dent Grant has not met the just expec-
tations of the party that elected him.
Do not the acts of President Grant
meet the approval Of the Republican
party, rather than the position, Mr..
Sumner has assumed towards the party? |
In his own state Of Massachusetts,, for
instance, his party friends stand |
more than ten to Que against him. In
the Senate this is also the case, while
in the House of Representatives they
are solidly against him. Let the count
ry decide, then, who has best met he
just expectations of the Republican
party, as Judged by the expression of
the people, President Grant or Sen
ator Summer.
