Where is the Cause-WhO is to
Blame ?

The Administration is greatly tried.
The best men Of the party are not
willing to "go it blind" for Grant and
numerous relations another four
years. ''Birds Of a feather" is dem
onstrated IN the Presidents parasite
appointments. lie is not willing to
GUST Custom House Officers, or any
officer, who is true to his selishness
and second term of Office. Is this
wrong? No. He is carrying out the
principle that put him into the Presi-
dental Chair. He was selected by
the Republican party for his availi-
blHy, They knew that the Demo
Gratis would take him sure, if they did
not, aud he would be hard to beat
The war made him popular. AS for
his previous political history, or any
history, it was of no account. lie
had been educated at Government ex-
pense, and lived for sensual and selfish
qualifications. As one of his admirers,
Senator Wilson, said in one Of his
speeches in the late New Hampshire
campaign :-"After forty years Of
labor for himself Gen. Grant had not
means enough to buy a uniform when
the war broke out" This was in
tended as praise, but it is difficult for
most people to see in that light
This was the condition-the life
U. S. Grant had lived previous to the
war reckless low-minded and selfish,
with no interest in our Government,
religious or civil institutions-in a
word, he had made no credit-mark.-
He had succeeded in terminating the
war, but could the truth be known the
credit belonged to other Generals and
the well-intormed and well-drilled
"boys in blue" Such was the life
and character Of Grant, and the party
knew it too. Has he changed ? No,
not at all. He is living for himself
and relatives as formerly, and spend
ing the peoples money lavishly. As
for the good of the government, the
sacred rights of the people, etc, he
cares no more than when a poor
spendthrift, living from handto mouth.
Who deceived ? Who cheated 3
Not Grant, he has not changed, but
the party that chose him for his
avaihbiity, and nothing more, have
just what they bargained for.

the road in the early stages of its
progress, but never Constructed" it,
