'sLEr % RAVE PEACE Z"

There ID no doubt of the next
Congresa being Democratic, and
our people will see how far, and to
what extent, that famous epigIam-
matical saying of Gen1 Grant will
be aft cted by the change in the
political character of that body.
When General Grant uttered the
words, "Let us have peace" he felt
the force and effect of them, and
honestly intended, SO far as his in
dividual influence extended, to see
the whole country repOsing in the
blessings which would result from SO
happy Q state Of things. 1t is nOr
our purpose tn inquire into the
causes which have thwartcd the
aims aud bsfAed the hopes of the
President in his sincere desire for
peace during the past six years.
Viewed from q purely party stand
point, We might trace them to pOlit
jcal antagOnisms rather than to any
disposition ON the part of General
Grant to thwart any desiIe of the
people locking to that important
end.
The Democrats have persistently
charged the unsettled condition of
the county. especially of the South.
to Republican rule, alleging that it
was the policy Of that party to TO
meDt strife and keep up spirit OF
bitter antagOnism between the De-
mocrscy and themselves. This, of
coarse, We emphatic,lly deny, but
that the peace which General Grant
30 much desired has not been real
lied, is potent to all. When we say
that the Republican party of This
great nation sincerely longs for the
reign Of peace and amity, We utter
but the simple truth, and well
knowing that the prosperity and
happiness of our whole country de
ponds largely upon the fraternsl
good will Of both sections, we shall
rejoice to see every harmonizing
attribute dignified and consecrated,
and every discordant element re-
buked and mathematical.
That peace which the Democracy
has been SO clamorOus for, and which
they urged could alone reconcile the
diffarence between us, is now lodged
in their hands. lbe balance of
power has been given to them and
we shall coon see whether it will be
