We arr not among those who believe that
the Republican party can afford TO be put,
or TO put itself, IN the position Of avoiding
the fullest aud most careful investigation OF

We 10 not believe that there is any dan.

The Presidents Message is q very practi-
cal document, but it doesn't cover the whole
ground. He doesn't once allude to tho new

cism.-NorristoiD Herald. ...
The Republican party cannot decide its
own case in its own favor against the ma
jority Of the American people, upon the GER
tificate Of branded men in Louisiana, with
out making the body of our citizens and the
world at large feel that it is a corrupt aud
partisan decision.-Horatio Seymour.
On the other hand, if the republicans in
sist that the authentic action Of the state is
conclusive in Louisiana, they must admit
that it is conclusive in Oregon. Upon the
state theory any alleged wrong in the ap-
pointment Of electors must be righted in the

Gen. Grant has been surrounded by very
bad men since he became President. Bel
KNAPP, Robeson Babcock, Shepherd are
names which will at once occur to every
reader, and the offences against honor and
decency which have made them notorious
are familiar to every mind.-N Y. Sun.
Even the New York Times, once great
newspaper. has so utterly ignored the truth
touching the elections in the disputed states,
that it has ceased to be quoted by any but
tho worst class Of mendicaut organs, and
has ceased to be credited as faithful chron.

Colorado ought not 10 have been admitted
Into the union in the first place. rs she had
only about one third the population required
by law, but she was admitted, and the Pres.
ident's proclamation asserts that she is ad-
mitted, "wthout any further action on the
part Of congress" The republicans will be
able to hold on to Colorado. - 0niSoiut

The second fact is, that the mon in charge

states have been more intent upon winning,

We hold it to be the patriotic duty O
President Grant to resign his Office for tn
good Of his country. His resignation woul
