Dana, its editor, has always been one
of her most fanatical haters and bitter
est revilers. AS the assistant secretary
of war he stands responsible for some
of the most cruel outrpges that were

tility He lnbored in 1865 with all the
powers of his pen to scene, the elec-

subordinate position in the New York

bounds; he at once concentrated All the
batteriesof his wrath upon Grant in
the sun, and from that time until the
present has made use Of tbeNillainies
practced in the south to serve him in
his attacks upon the administration.
His apparent friendship has no
other meaning than this; II
Grant, as seems likely, should turn
on another tack and begiu to treat the
south with fairness .ani justice, then,
in tint case, We have no doubt that
the long suppressed feelings OF Dana
would have fair play, and he would be
found among our most energetic per.
secutors.
