Senator LOGAN, of Illinois, the bowling
Comanche among senator's, raised The war
whoop in the United States Senate on Tues
day. His line Of defiant taunt of the South and
i-conccaled purpose OF alarming the South
with fore;astcd terrorism was apply con-

Now, let the Congress yentillate the SUBJ

with fciat, and it VIII he no easy matter
for any number OF discontented Republi-
cans to check public opinion or throw cold
water upon the fcryor which may be excited
by the California reception.
1t would be idle to at. empt to ignore the
signs that show the public feeling on the
subject OF GRANT. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis would both act as becomes them by
meeting the new political phase of the coun-
try frankly and manfullv. II there is enough
OF virtue in the Republic to enable it TO re-
sist the tendency 10 arbitrary power, now is
the time that it should appear. 1t can hardly
appear stronger hereafter than it is now;
and il the tide cannot be resisted now, it
would be far better that it should be known
now than that the discovery should be made
in the near future at the cost OF trouble, and
mayhap worse than trouble.
