We ask the sober intelligence of oul
readers, is not this 8 bid for third term,
upon a basis.which means organized propa-
gandism, against men for conscience sake
1t will be observed that General Grant
asks to add "needful guarantees for the
security Of free thought, free speech, free
"preas, pure morals, &c" Are not all these
guaranteed by the Constitutionand being
so, what is the meaning of asking needful
guarantees! 1t is palpable that the part
of the speech, about free schools, means
much more than is apparent. II will be
remembered that project was on foot
some two years ago, to get control of the en-
tire school system Of the States BY means Of
aNational Burean Of Education. An attempt
in all probability will be made the coming
session Of Congress to revive the scheme.
or to propose it in such a shape, as an
amendment to the constitution Of the Uni
ted States, as will raise a religious issue
and upon this, Grant hopes to conquer an

ments. Can it be, that within ten years
after the common baptism by blood, Of the

purpose, of prolonging his power, the Pre-
sident and the plottors around him would
put us back to the scenes Of the 18th CEN
tury in Europe, with all their blood and
horrors. Long before the third term, be-
came matter Of public discussion, We re-
peatedly pointed cut in the old Adreuise,,,
the danger Of Imperialism. We were
laughed at by both friend and foe, but it
has long since, ceased to be laughing
matter. General Grant intends to hold on
10 the Presidency for life. In proof, we ask
attention to our statement. o,>
