THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
The Enemies Of His Excellency
Summarily Disposed OF.
VIEWS OF SENATOR NORTON
The Third Term Settled by the Penn
sykania Convention.

There are people enough to say that the HERALD
opposes General Grant. or course we cannot
prevent what people say. but we mean IN the
future, as in the past, TO snow BY actions, which
speak louder than words, that he has no truer
friend or sounder adviser. The writer OF tho
communication below charges us with want Of
sound Judgment, bus we are not deferred by this
gratultous ding from printing what strikes us as
somewhat able defence of the Presidents recent
letter.
TO THE EDITOR or TIE HERALD;-
Ever since learned the value OF your journal,
which, BY ne way, was on my nrst seeing copy
lacked SOUND Judgment on any one subject until
now.
White is SIMPLY preposterOus. | am astonshed
at you. Whether De blessed, by special preroga-
tive, with truthful IDEA OF that letter Is OF no
moment, but my understanding OF IL Is as iol-
iows:-The President plainly says he Is as
tonlsned and that his fellow man might be
equally So, he avais himself OF this long looked
Tor opportunity TO wrlte about IL. He doesn't
want third term and wouldn't II he dld and
any body knows that. Some foolish papers got 10
wiring ABOUT 1t and he knew all along IL was
only done to fill mp and supply reading matter
Judgment OF the people, as eXemplined Ia elect
ing HIM 50 often and at such sacrifices on both
sides he Is perfectly right when ne SAYS u amt
in the constitution and unwritten Law Is AL bosh
and resolutions be damned. he way 10 Tx IL Is
open and can be resorted to any time alter next
PRESIDENTIAL election, &c. lie don't want TO be
elected unless the people do 1t 10y voting. aud he
can't stop people rom voting now they see al
and, another thing, 10 might be bad
NOT TO ELECT A FELLOW
as often as he pleased, because IL might be dis
conraglug 10 any one inclined to help The Republic
along III the future. He also states very clearly
That all past Presidential terms served by him
and all coming ones nave been and Will be served
owing entirely TO force OF crcumstauces-tne err
cumstance OF receiving the nomination ana the
other OF receiving the necessary votes land were
1t not for these he never would have made tue
SACRIFICES aud positively never VIII again, unless,
0. course, on account or circumstances aforesaid
/ There is an elegant candor ABOUT this part OF
| the letter July Characteristic OF the man, and
! when should bind our hearts tighter around
| ABOUT him. am asst onlsned at the want OF under
stanGlng displayed IN the discussion OF tnat letter.
| when a man comes out openly, and 10 "a General
| too ana says ne don't want thing ana wouldn I
have wan ed II II It hadn't, and amt exactly OPP
posed TO taking thing or two II circumstances
demand; out, as 10 taxing II the tlird tIme why
he couunt think OF IT, unless-ain't that plain ?
Nothing palmer 10 my mind. III your worthy self
and al those learned gentlemen talking about 10
would only Ieau the letter over fen times you
would ind that each reading nv lnterpreta
ton would be found more and more truthful and
reliable.
Allow me again to say am astonished.
