THr pRgsfDENT,s GUILT.

s II thesspecialgofnr1ittee appointed by
tho National House OF Representatives
TO Enquire into the cause, and tho na.
ture. and the extent of the depreda.
tions upon the Texas frontier, and the
measures that might prevent their con-
tinuancc," fearlessly discharge their
duty. we think they will find the CHIEF
cause In the Executive mansion al
Washington. General Grant IL anxious
to bring about that condition OF affairs
to which he referred In his famous let
ter to General White, Of Pennsylvania,
Ia which he said. g. would not accept
a nomination II Il were rendered, un.
less II should come under such cir
cumstanccs us to make II an
Imperative duty" A war with Mexico
would not, II Is true, be much OF war
"but," az the New York S,,, suggests,
" the acquisition of the rich mining dis.
triots Of Sonora and Lower California,
with the control Of the Gulf OF Cali
fornia, will be great and glorious
event, and will give to the Administra-
ton OF Grant and to the Republican
party a new and lasting renown."
A war with Mexico, unsettled re-
lations with Spain, aud q threatened
religious war-a all forwarded by the
Vaccinations OF the President for his
own ends'--inight. in his eyes. and In
those OF his army Of bummers and
offlceholders, present u very attractive
platform OH which TO base The necessity
for third term. .
The President has looked on Tho rob
berry and murder Of tho Texas frontiers
men with friendly eye. making no
adequate effort TO afford the unhappy
settlers relief or protection. His pur-
pose has rather boon TO give the ma
rauders as free rein us possible, with
the view, doubtless. Of permitting their
operations to create an excuse for
war. Thus, while spasmodic aud feeble
movements have been made against
the Mexican and Indian thieves aud
marauders. movements only designed
as pretext of protection, they have
In the main had things pretty much
their own way. There has been
no necessity for the prolongation
Of these frontier troubles. The
Government has an abundance
Of troops now idle some OF them
camped in this State to protect In au.
thority q more Inscriptions gang Of
thieves than those who depredate upon
the Texas cattle--and IL these were en-
ployed in protecting the frontier, there
would be little trouble from Mexican
banditti and Coimanche raids, and there
would be no cause for war with Mefi-
co. The action Of tho Administration
In this matter Is atrocious, and the
President is rs guilty us Cortina. The
committee will find the best remedy
the defeat and removal from the Presl-
dency Of y. s. Grant.

VIOLENCE, REVOLUTION AND RANCOR.

The truly peaceful and patriotic pur-
poses Of tho Radical party as recently
disclosed by Mr.. Morton in the Senate
and by Mr.. Blaine In the House. are thus
supplemented by the Boston correspond
cnt of the New Orleans Republican
After lamenting most hypocriticnlly. as
1t seems TO us, "the existence OF politi.
cal radicalism and religious fanatl
cism." without saying that without the
Radical organization there would be
neither tho one nor the other in this
country, the correspondent continues
the lament" in tho following pro
gramme Of intended results TO be IF.
fected by the victorious radical and
demopiac temper which is ascribcd to
New England. Among the things
(which are certainly to be accom-
plishod" are these.
1. The placing Of Professionals in the
sents now held by the Catholic Demo
Gratis in Congress.
.. The building up OF tho negro power
as q Protestant political force ut the
South as tho counterpoiso OF the Con
federate Catholic power
3. 1t will nominate the next Republi-
can Presidential candidates
4. Ii will elect those candidates.
s. II will hold the Government for the
next twenty years.
Tho rise Of this Protestant Repub-
lican party In America is destined to
mark oil epoch as worldwide In It's in
lluence as the Reformation in the Old
World under Luther. That it has It's
origin In the West only serves to give
unusual significance to tho movement.
That It Is backed by New England guar
antecs it's final triumph. That its OBJ
jective point should be the Southern
negro assures the political protection of
the negro citizen and his permanent
allegiance with the Protestant party In
America
With issue thus joined between the
Confederate Catholic alliance and the
Protestant Republican North, the po-
litical future OF America can be clearly
foreseen, at least for the next twenty
wears
