President GRAST.-The Baltimore A"eT'
coa GOOD enough Republican for all Pract:
cal purposes) says that 'Ihere Is something
in his president GRASTs] mental coEstltu
ton that prevents him from finding out tht
drift of public opinion" We will lot I'm
derlake to pass upon this opinion; but b'
certainly is lamen,ablv unfortunate in being
himself drfted to the wrong side OF Srea
many questions. he has recently showt
most signalIy an obliquity OF judgment or
pcryc1seness Of disposition that is fearful 70
think OF.
Ths: the tax. payers OF South Carolina
made a fair exhibition CT their wrongs ana
the outrageous corruption OF the negro gov
ernment of their ll-fltcd State we suppose
all intelligent and fair men feel convinced.
They made their statement 10 the president
most respectfully. That statement is sus-
tanned by the most irretutable testimony
the testimony OF the very records OF the
Government. And vet when the negro
committee Of South Carolina afterwards
arnearcd before the President and con.
troverted the statement Of the Taxpayers,
General GRANT upon the instant, With
out further Investigation of the matters
disputed, declared uuQusliedly his entire
satisfaction With the reply. Having poorly
disguised his feeling of disfavor towards the
frs committee-said to have been produced
by severe philippe pronounced upon him
o. single orator of South Carolina-he was
more than civil to the negro delegation-he
Was almost aflectionate.
He sent away the outraged taxpayers,
telling them he slw no remedy for ;ie evils
they complained Of; and he gaily tells the nc
groes that they trumphantly SHOW that the
tax payers had nothing to complain of.
This was quite enough to display the
readiness if not the proneneSs of General
GRANT 70 take the wrong side in Il matter
OF justice. We hardly suppose that Il single
Intelligent gentleman Of the North, who
kaows anything of the barbarous govern
ment Of South Carolina, would say that the
white taxpayers Of South Carolina were not
most outraeeouslg oppressed.
Tie faulty of Genera! GRANT in taking
The wrong side of nearly al questions pre-

mess 20 lean to the more disreputab!e of two
parties that address their appeals to him

member that re takes the ground that
wrong done by the Executive can't be
rightcd. However lhe Constitution may bt
violated to do the wrong, that instrument Is
au insupcrable bar to the correction oil TIT
wrong.
II President GRANT is too obtuse to flint
the DRIFT Of public opinion, 1t is bad for him
self p.obably.; but his mistakes US 10 IN

Governor Kemper's Letter.

Governor kempSr LetlS2.
we mblish this morning Governor hkA'
prp.s letter to Mr.. I. G. FOWLER, CT WASH
ington county. ca,
We must frankly say that while our ta''''
in the public devotion and high ana iooo''
able character of Governor KEMrER IS III no
.p..e ahated we cannot concur in all that Is
"a This letter. We believe that the civil war
has DESTROYED rights of the States, ana ti'a'
,rronrs have been inflicted upon the STATES
IN which they formally acquesced unoe'
,,,re.s In short, that the bayonct mas III
,;D,e Of peace oyerridden the public VIII anu
r,,c;h,v established what would not nave
.,nan alowed to exist II left to the public
We are faithfully devoted to the Conserva-
,;vc marty and the principles of that party as
interpreted BY the Governor in speaking OF
one article. Of the platform, when he "a,'
..clares our allegiance TO principle and our
"desire to exac. justice As between ourselves
nand all others, by cultivatips harmonious
arelations with the common for general
government, and by going precisely SO ial
.and no farther in that direction than our
plainly avowed principles will let us CO."
But, loathng the whole policy ofreconstruc
ton, we are unwilling 10 have cocrced SUB
mission interpreted into the consent oil free
people. Nor can we look forward with any
expectation or hope that the social system
created by the Federal Government IN the
South is susceptible Of final assimilation "no
peace. We do not suppose that Governor
KgMrER does; but wc cannot s!ml'aln'|e
with the full emphasis given in his letter 10
points that might lead TO the Inference thai
he does.
But we do not mean to discuss these cues
tiouS. There is no need for their dlScusSlon
in the Conservative party. And we nope
as the Governor is thoroughly Vind'ca1eo
upon the subject Of the veto, that the "ho'e
matter is now ended.

WE ARE FOR PRINCIPLES, NOT FOR MEN.
All acknowledge the patriotic motives as
we'll as the distinguished services, both in
war and in peace, of some of these extrem-
lists. But neither class Is right; both are
wrong. The masses Of the Conservative
people of Virginia are represented by neither.
Our party adheres with inhexibIc fidelity to
all who are and to all who shall become our
allies upon principle. We are supremacy for
ideas and principles. We are not for mon,
and can never be joined to the personal for
tunes of any man. Without regarding the
past we are ready to strike hBnds with any
and all who meet us on the ground OF THE
RIGHT. Our traditions, ideas, and principles
will be the sovereign power TO control our
political party relations we will support
those who support them, and oppose those
| who oppose them; and precisely to The eX-
| tent to which they receive support or opposi-
| ton, we will give support or opposition. We
will support literally and cordially as far as
| we can, and we will oppose reluctantly, but
| decidedly, whenever and wherever we must.
But while maintaining the Integrity and IN.
dependence OF the Conservative party, JUS
tice, honor, interest, our deliberate party
pledges and ayowalS, nil require Us to ctlti'
| yate the most harmonious relations with the
