tie attention Of the public press through
out tie country. That there is no cons;i-
/ tutigual .-uh:Liti,n against the election Of
President iJr a Hir3, OF for any iudciin-
lie number OF times, Is an admitted fact,
if Tie people see proper to do so. All the
traditions Of the country. however, are op-
posed to 1t and the uniform example OF
all our former Pres.dentss has Caused 1t
to be recognized as common law on the
subject, that no man, however great may
be his merits, oaght to be entrusted with
the cflice more than two terms. Only scr
On of the Pres dents have been reelected
sss1ud time, viz: Washington, jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln, and
Grant, ali the others having been limited
to a single term. VIII Grant be made an
exception to this timc-honoIed rule and
Will the line Of safe preccdcuts be interfer-
ed with III order to crafty his own person
al ambition That is the question. So
far as our observation has extended, the
Republican press Of the north and north
west do not endorse the project, and we
do not recall any Republican paper in the
north of any prominence, except the Wash
ington Chronicle, which has given it any
countemance OF support. \ few obscure
country journals whose editors hold posi-
tions under Grant, together with the vast
army of oifce-ho!ders, look with favor
upon the project, and will exert their in
iluence to accomplish 1T. But still the
fact remains, that all the great leading or
gans of Republican sentiment in the North

however, that the movement has assumed
4 certain form and shape in some portions
ofthe south, and, strange as it may seem,
certain leading Democrats support it.
One would naturally suppose that the
Southern people during the last four years
had seen enough of the beauties of Grant
ism to have thoroughly disgusted them,
aud 10 cause them to pray that its bitter
cup might pass forever from their lips
The South owes nothing to the administra-
tiCu of l. ). Grant. That section Of our
common country has not been the politi-
cal vineyard in which lie has loved to la
Dor. His bayoncts have always been ready
to bolster up the infamous and corrupt
carpet-bag governments which have cursed
