To THE EDIToR OF THE GAZETTE:
In looking over The -AorRinV -HssaId
l see m srticls saidIto b copied ffom
the Savannah, Ca Nssos saying the peo
pie of Iowa gave three cheers for the
"American King" which is sample OF
the shouts which tho more enthusiastic
Of Grants friends raised Is he swept
through that stronghold.
Ny plain opinion IL that that the Ne,cs
lies to try to operate on weak fools. 1his
great Republic is too strong in the heart
Of the masses to suppose ifa few fools,
even did follow such stuff, (which 1 do
not behevel shat ~ would endapger or
have apy urore effect, upon the great
masses of the United States, than the
washing and splsshing OF Niagara river
has on Its rock bound falls. .-.i
These Southern people are now very
sensitive, but they did ten thousand
times more to bring about the making OF
p k.nsFin this cOuntry by theirN sef fara
zion an.istri to Divide theCoantry, than
all tho fbols Of Io~ a.co dds by s6ousihR
for the first American King" Grant.
Whose fault Ii II that Grant Is such q
great many The South might have
sworn that any general who was success
ful In breaki ~ down their rebellion and
IN restoring The country as a whole,
would bu Considered "A great map, and
Grant, being democrat. If our northern q
union democrats ct Washington had
possessed even moderate amount OF
common SENSE, they could have had
Grant for the demooratic candidate But
nCl Old Grandmother Mo- oatgomery Blair
thought he could make better tool of
Andrew johnson and got up fuss and
publicans. They we're 80 badly scared
that they pitched their statesmen over
board anil took up Grant.
All this worked 80 we'll for their own
interest that they took him up again
and elected him; Tut ashete the .mstter
stopped, and have MI doubt that some
Republican cOntraCt0rs who 6orged Is
the vampires do off their unsuspectiug
vic'im, would like to have him. But
siuce these victims found out these blood
or money and place suckers, their shouts
for Grant for q third term are Of but little
If Grant has the sense 1 credit him
with he will utterly refuse to be Repub
hcan candidate for President, much lsss
king. The JEFF Davis organs down
South may as we'll play some other tune,
for king"is no go. But OF this Think
they may rest assured the Democrats IN
aOrthern States intend tU assert their
manhood and nom nate the Democratic
candidate from b Northern free State.
