Gov. Walker "IntervieWcd"

The correspondent of the New York Herald
reports the following interview with Gov.
Walker Of Va, at the White Sulphur Springs
Doyou believe the republican party will nolni
nate aud elect General Grant?
Gov. Walkcr-No.
CORRESPONDENCE your estimation, is there
any real danger of the establishment Of despo-
tlsm or empire
Gov. Waker-No. have the most abiding
confidence in the trecdom-loving aud lndcpen-
dent spirit Of the Anglo. Saxon race. 1t never
has and never will submit to tyranny or despo'
tism of any character for any length OF time.
Through supineness or inantion, or 10 the pre-
sence of overshadowing dangers, it has at times
permitted encroachmeDs upon It's liberties
but by revolution or other means they were
ere long re.asserted and indicated, and so it
will be In the future. What the Herald styles
"CaSarism" is and will be impossible ID
America so long as the Anglo Saxon element
predominates
Correspondent-F what you know of
Gen. Grant do you believe he is ambitious
enough to aspire to dictatorship or to assume
the role OF Cesar?
Gov. Walker-No; l have no doubt there
are those in his party and about him who
would advise him to such step if place and
power could thereby be assured them but
these numbers are not formidable, and Gen.
Grant Is not the man to attempt such role.
| have heartily approved some acts Of his ad-
miuistration, and as heartily condemned others.
He has made grave mistakes, but | have been
charitable enough to beliVe that his greatest
errors were more The result OF the bad advice
given him than Of his own inherent defects of
Judgment and conscience. In other words, |
believe that if General Graot would ottener
act from the dictates Of his Own head and
heart, he would commit fewer mistakes. he
could net play the role of the despot 10 this
country if he would, and, ! think, he has the
sense to see itsnor do lbelieve he has ever serl-
ouSly contemplated 1t.
