The Cincinnati Commercial suggests that
Joint resolution condempatory of another term
for President Grant be unanimously passed by
both houses of Congress during the early days
of the approaching session. The Commercial
thinks that even if such ajoint resolution should
fail to receive a unanimous vote 10 both houses,
it would at least be certain to pass by large
majority. The Commercial believes further
that lit would nquestonably receive the united
Democratic vote in each house, but it would
Just as certainly receive the vote Of nearly every
Republican Senator and Congressman" AT
any rate the suggestion is worthy Of cousidera-
tion

The New York Herald calls Senator Cook

The New York Herald calls Senator Cook
ling's recent speech at Utica New York, the
Gospel Of Hatred" and says of his euogy or
the work done by his party: "Provldepce oe
volved upon that party the most sacred mission
ever entrusted to political organlzatloo-to
build up the shattered States; to bind up the
wounds aud heal the sores; to consecra'e apo
consolidate the results of emancipation, SO
that the new relation should be benefit TO the
master as we'll as the slave; to revive the oor-
mant and parayzcd industries OF the South; 10
restore the railway system, the cotton and
sugar crops, and to enter heartily and frateroal-
" into the sore needs of all classes. 10 this we
were prompted by every instinct of brotherhood
to men who we're our brothers, and by every
ipstiDct of sel6shuess as members of Union
which could never be harmonious Union so
long as anarchy reigncd in a large section OF
States; so long as sovereign Commonwealth
were suffering from bad legislation, excessive
taxation, unwise and prohigate administration.
This was the mission accepted by Conkllug and
his friends 10 1868. To this work they have
been devotlug themselves for nine years, aud
DOW the result is, according to MIR. Conkling' S
own statement, that ignorant weak, venal
men rule the South, and Grant cannot be
spared from Washington lest the honest masses
should overture them.
