The NEW YORK HERALD, one Of his strong
supporters at the last election, has
changed his praise into abuse and
continues day after day to sound the alarm Of
Casarism. - y The licentious abuse OF power,
which the Northern people have encouraged in
their rulers, when applied to the South. Is now
coming home to them. Those who have sOwn the
wind let them reap the whirlwind.

There is much speculation throughout the coun-
try as to the next Presidential campaign, and bets
are being made and prophecies uttered that Gen.
eral Grant viii run for o third term. General
Grant has had his share of abuse. Yet but few
men have had the bodness to accuse him
of lack OF common sense. and his per-
hitting his name to come again before
the country for the Presidency would show want
judgment and an ignorance OF the feelings Of the
people. Whatever is being done to agitate this
question now emanates from some OF the ONCE
holders Of the administration and from the enc
mics OF the party In power. We speak with some
knowledge Of the people OF the North, and we think
we state the truth in saying that not one half the
republican party would support General Grant II
he should be induced to run again, and this Oppos
ton would not be founded on q dislike Of the
President or change OF parties, but be the result
of that desire for change which is, and will con-
tinue to be, popularity Of our people.
From the Clarmont IN. H. Eagle (administration),
July 1871
The American people have been differently edu-
Gated and differently instructed as to their rights
than ancient Rome or modern France, and what
was possible in those countries would be utterly
impossible in the United States The little army
OF ONCE holders would find themselves buried be-
meath the justiflabe rage OF the people, which, as
compared with the dead beats of the country. are
as thousand to one. 1t was this same spirit
which animated the Northern heart in 1851. and
reused hundreds of thousands to rush to the field
OF battle and maintain that Union. General Grant
and his friends do not seek third term OF office,
and, II they did, would not receive it. The Amer-
can people held the successful soldier in high es-
TEEN and gave him the Presidency. His admins
tration was satisfactory his services to the coun-
try not forgotten and the people, as they did when
washington lived, gave him a second term. This
will complete his career The wage fears certainly
unfounded, Of the journals referred to will vanish
In smoke. This government was not created to be
the creature OF any one man or OF 1000 men, but is
q government Of the people and for the people. o..
S. Grant recognizes this fact.
From the Washington Republican administration
Organ), July 1871
A few weeks ago New York paper started a
discussion upon the third term question, which
has been generally taken up by the liberal republ-
can and democratic organs who make it the basis
of fresh series OF assaults upon the President So
far as the President is concerned, 1t can be said
with entire truth that no one has ever heard from
his lips the slightest whisper on the subject, and
we do not believe that single one Of his friends
advisers or supporters ever bestowed q thought
upon the matter until 1t became subject of
speculation and comment in the journals referred
to. While the administration occupies this
attitude OF entire Indifference on the subject, It
cannot be denied that the present slanderous war;
fare that Is being waged upon the President has
created strong feeling in favor OF his renomina-
ton among large body Of his supporters-a feel
ing that is as likely to sweep the country as not,
and give him third term in the Executive Man.

Again the NEW YORK HERALD is out in one OF
those colossal editorials OF promptlngs to the ad-
minisratiOn and suggestions to the country, which
1t publishes periodically as budget OF national
policy. 1t aims to instruct the country how to
counterfeit the spirit of Casarsm (which is fast
possessing the republican party at the same

our Republic, by the opportunities now be-
fore HIM, and escape the damnation Of
third term rule. 1t will be said that the way to
defeat General Grant and the spirit Of Casarism
which is now incarnated In his administration Is
to consolidate the democratic party, and under its
lead overthrow the administration. In other words
under new and broader issues win be united what
MIR. Greeley and his followers strived TO do. But
this course, the HERALD thinks would be mischiev-

An excellent article from the NEW YORK HERALD
on "C9sarism" appears on our first page. We are
glad to see the North becoming alarmed at the
strides our government under republican rule is
making toward a centralized despotism. Happily
the people are beginning to see the great danger
OF fatal error to our republican form of govern
ment creeping in at that wanting place IN our con-
that no President shall be eligible TO hold the
ONCE a second term. Our people, intent only on
money making, are not awake to the danger that
threatens them. They seem to view the likelihood
OF Grants Offering for third term as a very re
mote possibility, and ready to cry out against
him who would caution them Of their peril :-"He
is An alarmist the Republic is as secure as 1t was
in the days of Washington or OF Jefferson" Then
let the country remain in Its present lethargic
doZe until Grant is nominated for third
term. and we augur that there will be a
sudden, a terrible awakening of the people
