A Base DeceptiOn.

About the most indecent thing yet IN this
age of Journalistic indecencies was the outcry
in the argus of Saturday that President
Grant was implicated in an improper use of
the secret service fund for campaign pur-
poses. 1t had distinctly appeared long be-
fore the issue of that journal that there was
no improperly, that the money had been
used properly and lawfully to enforce the law
Of Congress for registration of voters and the
protection of the purity of the ballot, so that
the affront to truth and the decercies of life
was deliberate ard wilfuL. No excuse of
want of information, no claim of mistake will
avail; that journal stands convicted of an
attempt to mislead and cheat its readers, and
those who trust to it for information of pub
lie affairs, if any there be, are now laboripg
under wild delusion as to the action of the
President. The argus sheds some crocodile
tears over the "nation's dishonor." That
journal may well reflect that the nations
dishonor just at present is the conduct of a
large number of newspapers who are unscru-
pulously slandering and vilifying the highest
and best men of the nation, are helping
rascals by inGiscriminating attacks on the
bad and the good alike, are subordinating
truth and honor to partisan gain and are
disgraclng themselves and journalism by con-
duct at once unmanly, unpatriotic and nn-
rincipled-unworthy of gentlemen and
Americans.

The next CniOu Republican National Convention

ferences or previous party afilatons, who are
opposed to reviving sectional issues, and desire to
promote friendly feeling and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and enforcing
all the constitutional rights of every CITIZEN incud-
ing the full and free exercise OF the right OF suffrage

school system is the nursery of American liberty and
should be maintained absolutely free from sectaran
conro who believe that for the promotion of these
ends, the direction of the Government should con-
nue to be cOnded to those who adhere to the prin-
cipes of 1776 and support them as Incorporated in
