TO every citizen in the United States whose midi
Vduai prosperity measurably depends upon the
prosperity Of the Union. And beyond the questions
OF Southern reconstruction and the reconstruction
OF the finances, looms up the issue between Cesar
ism and republicanism-"the dominant ISSUE" as
the HERALD calls It, 1t is . tardy awakening, but
the HERALD will have earnest c0adjutors, and 1t
may be possible to arouse the people to sense Of
the magnitude of the danger which threatens
them. At all events the task Ia grand one for any
journalist to undertake.; IL Ia one by the side OF
which the Livingstone expedition and the march
of MacGahan to Khiva are as the freaks of the
mountebank to the elevated purpose Of the states

The particular attention Of our readers Ia invited
to the extraordinary article from the NEW YORK
HERALD, published on our frst page. This Ii the
second OF series Of four contributions on the i'm
portant subject the three last OF which we propose
to publish entire. We do not intend to comment
at length on these articles evidently written with
great care and prepared by an unusually able pen,
until the last of the series shall be placed before
the eyes Of our readers. The first article OF the
series Is written on the text "Have We
Republican Form Of Governments" 1t is
pity the HERALD had not asked this question years
ago, and 1t is still greater pity that the HERALD
had not struggled against certain things being
done, which, having been done by the HKRALD's
assistance and COlluSIOu now makaa IL naceasarv
TO ask the question OF the ignorant conceited, I'M
principled, corrupt radical party of the United
Sales.--future we . republican government ~
We say radical party, for 1t Ia plain now to the
intelligence Of large majority OF the people that
the radical party is primarily and altogether re-
sponsble for the decay ana downfall or free inst-
tutions In the United States.
From the Boston Globe republican,, July III
To make man responsible for others ignorance
OF his character, and ON the strength of this and
the natural desire Of the under officials Of the gov
eminent to retain their places to charge him with
design to subvert the Republic, is certainly cap
ping the climax Of absurdity. Even II the Presi-
dent desired third term, Of which there Is no EVIL
dence, there is nothing In this of q C@sarist ten
dency. The constitution does not limit the tenure
OF the Executive ONCE, and even the perverse
logic OF the HERALD cannot convert compliance
with its provisions into reasonable designs. What
we know of Caesar and Grant constrains US to say
that their characters are chiefly remarkable for
their dssimilarity. To be sure they were both sue
cessul soldiers, but not even his most ardent
admirer will claim for Grant CBsar's many
sided greatness, any more than the demOniac
nature which Niebuhr ascribes to the great Roman.
Our President has certainly had no such adulatiOn
TO turn his head as that which tempted the fore
most man of all this world. The liveliest magma
ton can hardly transform the President of the Re-
public, riding In his barouche at Long Branch
into the lmperator whose statues were carried In
procession with those Of the gods; whose image
was stamped on the public money; to whom affairs
were erected and worship offered, and who was
allowed to wear at all times upon his head laurel
crown These were the honors decreed to the con-
queror Of Pompey and of Pompey's son BY servile
Senate; but the conquerOr of Lee has never had
Legislature at his beck. Nothing In Grants career
recalls the Caesar except his victories. He has
never been charged with writing common taries on
the civil war, and the most ardent patriot can de-
tect no treason in his acts.
From the Raleigh IN. co. Sentinel Opposition,
July 1871
Charles V. abdlcated In favor of his son
Philip. Amadeus the other day resigned the
meditating sucn step. But our King, Ulysses the
First, will continue to the end Of his natural days
to be the idol Of office holders and the patron saint
of horse-racers, and will alternate between the
White House and the cottage on
Long Islands grit shore"
That the continuance Of such ruler would be q
great and lsmentable afliction readily acknowl-
edge. But II he and his rapacious ofce-hoders de-
termine to have him continue for third, or even
fourth and fifth term, with the experience OF last
year before US, We do not see how his reelection
can be prevented. The leading and most innuen.
tial republican In the North could not secure even
one Northern State against him last year. Nor do
we believe that any democrat or republican can get
two Northern States in 1876 If Grant is again nomi
mated by another oflce-hoders' convention.
Backed by the United States Treasury and 90, 200
ofice-hOlders, Grant is Immensely strong
