President Grants Plan.

:p,,soer information concerning Generai
,n.,s,s views corroborates the rumor that
ne will throw himself strongly on the haru'
prnsev plattorm-i. c., corroborates "tne
t1anor" as far as one rumor through re-
,anec,able source can corroborate anotner.
We have rumor not only agreeing Wild
>n,uch that we have heard about Genera'
GRANTS new zeal for " hard money and re
sumption" but adding that the Pressdent"'i
in his message to the next Congress- urge tn".
Che internal-revenue taxes shall be coi'ecteo
In pold-a long stride towards res2mpttoh'
This certainly will be bold move on Inc
,.et of the President. He can hardly have
an ;dea tina. Congress will adopt any such
Measure, and may mean no more than 10
farce tho D. mocrstic party into the attitude
of opposition to early resumption.
Certainly the Democratic party need have
no fear at resisting any rash measures ABOUT
resump,ion which General GRANT may pro-
n,se. The people will most certainly sus.
tain Congress in refusing to sussect the ma
fion to the terrible mercies Of the gold-gam-
hers under shock and shrinkage such as
premature resumption will bring with it,
The fact il, the making Long Branch tue
SIMMER seat Of Government is seriously
damaging to the people Of the Ensted States.
There the President sees only the millionaire
popul,tion, which has amassed fortunes ou'
.nf the distresses Of the nation. With theif
ap;lded life and luxsriousness, and their auer.
t;ons to the President, they bias his mind
and he looks on the wrong side OF national
life. He does not appreciate the dlstresses
and the embarrsssmeuts of the people. He
views everything through the spectacles Oh
the plundercrs and gold.gambIers; snd tbc
policy which he is oyer-persuaded to adopt
only tends to place the people more coR1'
pletely at the mercy of the grad-srlnos.
The people must begin to discern 10"
r,pcb 70 the detrlment of the nation IS the
habit now fixed With the President OF with
drawing himself from them and any inti-
mate knowledge Of their true condition, and
giving himself up to the society OF the
wealthy people of the great cties-assocla-
ton with some of whom, rumor says, Is not
st all to his credit. No administration
can be wisely directed whose Chief
Executive leads life that excludes from
him proper knowledge Of the true condl-
ton of the people. 1t will be remembered
how plainly be showed bis dislike OF ming
ling with the people at the Massachusetts
centennials, and what relief to him 1t was
to get away.
General GRANT may be misrepresentcd !;
but successive rumors concur so well
that we can hardly doubt that he has
thrown himself completely into the
hands OF the gold-worshippers. As \ Demo-
crat we should not at all regret this. for We
believe it would be to the great advantage o.
that party ; but W, fear that his course,
should be be fairly represented in the Long
Branch letters, will increase doubt and APP
prehension in the country, aud therefore be
seriously injurious.
A view which bias been widely adopted is
that General grant has rushed into the arms
of the gold.worshippers TO force them to
nominate him for third term. It is sup
posed that he thinks the immediate resump-
tiopists and southern negroes can elect him
an error which he may well make by living
80 much at Long Branch. He will be unde
ceived in time, aud thoroughly defeated
The people will turn out the Radicals, ant
they will get relief from the expressions o
the money.power.
