markable PAPER. In tho Grst eentU nca
we arc called upon 10 applaud The
fact that Providence for a. second
time has succeeded in calling Gcner4l
Grant 10 tho head Of the uorica n
nation. A SOFT OF d liiisaidh' Is 'Made
that the Prcsideut has not hiihetto
justified the choice of Providence in
the rsnark that when he frat as.

From his sentence We vesss pass to TO- an. IN.
othor, ip which we are, abruptly in.
formed that it is Gen. Grants "firm
oohyliction that the civilized world is
fendihB towaEd Republicanism >" The
ci1ilized world is not only tending
toward publicanism but, accord
ing TO Gen, Giant it is doing so di.
rectly under American inspiration,
subjects, as the movements Of Arte
mus Ward'e consultations were, to
the Consultation of the United States.
1t is not stated, but we have q right
to imply that the American Govern.
mept is the better qualified for this
great civiliziing mission through the
CIRCUMSTANCE Of Congress having ire
Gently doubled the salaries 8 of the
President, tho Senators, and tie, Rep,
rssentatives. # SO. much has bbeh
done already for civilization by a,
legislature which boasts of q, Schuyler
Colfax and On, Oakes ,Ames among it's
members. what may the world spoticx-
pect when tho virtue. Of Congress has
been steeled. aud fortified to the OK
tent of salaries fixed at $4,000? -.
The general grounds on which the
American President is fa3orabiy in-
clined to view all overtures of foreign
nations for amalgamation with the
United States are stated by him in
a, sentence so pregnant with great
thoughts and SO instinct, with poetry
that it. would be unjust to a gentleman
not usually given to this kind of
rhetoric to omit Quoting it in full:
Gas commerce, education and the
rapid transit Of thought and matter
by telegraph and steam have ehatiged
everything, rather think that the
Great Maker is preparing the world
to become one nation, speaking one
lapguage--a oonsummation which will
:! render armies and navies no longer
necessary" A design which has this
double Purpose-not OILY of destroy-
ing all languages but the A merican
dialect Of English, but of effecting an
economy in the naval and military
administration Of the United States
We may naturally expect to hear has
the encouragement and support Of
President Grant; who will &c ccomm m and
to Congress any messlres tending to.
=, Considering H5shat is tic =. a3sltet,d
mission of General Grant, and the
confldpntial terms in which he stands
with those who, through the telegraph
and tho steam, engine arc "changing
everything" it IS ,deplorable to learn
from the Presidents message that
during his ,eandidature for his present
office fe has been '.the subject Of
abuse and, slapder scarcely eyer
equalled in history" Even thus
does the world, Republican institu.
tions notwithstanding, treat it's. best
!, bl,eNnDo'fsaotorsj, ID its oheoriug to know
howoVor, that General Grant. is moi
discouraged by tho attacks of his ene.
mics; that undor the new stimulus to
his patr r;otiSm to which we have al
ready alluded, ho is prepared to
march in the van Of oiyilizstion; to. be
the guiding star Of the nations, and tt
