In classifying the other day the souInef''n
vnen who are m,lsirig to support GenesatI
GRANT next year For President OF tae
JJnitesa states, we omitted entirely the class
Represented oy ELLISON s. KEIrr, Esq, o.,
sautn Carolina, brother OF the late pra''l
liant l.. N. KErrTs It's not.strange' now
ever, that we should have omitted 1t, since
until yesterday we had never learned tnat
there was such class in existence.
Mr. KETTT is out in a letter in the Charles
tom Ne,cs, in which be declares for GRANT
and BAyAaD MS bis fayesite candidates for
President and viee-P President OF the United
States. He says solid South NJ az lead to
4 solid North; and that no M ore dire ca
lanity could befall the count ~ than that
one section SHOULD be soli 4 against the
other, where no principle is involved, only
to crafty the hatred and to I'LL the pockets
OF the unworthy.
Mr. KRITT, therefore, TO avoid such ca
iamity, calls on the PEG, ole to lit them
selves above party and az animate candidates
for these high offices wit lout regard to their
previous party Affiliate ons. We fear that
Mr., KEITr is almost I 90 much OF & GRANT
man to be very sim .ere admirer OF BAY
ARD or firm devc tee to principle. Ht
styles GRANT s'tbe aost renowned citizen
America he's ever p, ,,oduccd." Considering
the uarnes which b ave illustrated and Flu
minated the ANIMAL OF this eoantry, and re
calling the life tb at GRANT led for the frs'
forty wears OF lis history, and espcciali,
when we rccoif oct what sort OF men were
his associates and chosen intimates, no
merely wbhst q was President, but all bis
life long, wer nav well pause before relying
too much W ION Mr.. EEIrr's good !udg
mcnt. ...,e......
However this may be, Mr.. KErgT has nc
doubts as tc his own iniallibHity. He scouts
the ideath, It "any snan CT this generation
can establi qsh an empire upon the ruins Of
this great government Of the people-yeS
OF fifty m ,lions OF people, whose hearts arc
all assow with liberty! That Il man living
In South Carolina and familiar with the sor,
OF Toter ;whom that State produces In ex'
GEES, she. ,uid haye-Such high opinion OF oul
"iity d, millions OF people" is really sur
prisfpg We beg him, too,.to look at tDe
patriot c people Of Virginia who voted the
ReSdi usters' ticket at the slate election In
this s. tate, before he becomes too firmly sci
iashis belief that we are nation OF nothing
bnt J. PATRIOTS. -.
NJ 1. kent tells us what will be the results
Of: be success OF his notslae plan OF saving
the country. Wequote:
"a With generous support from The intel,
Zig enr,e OF the South, GrsTnt and Bayaro
WI Jula give auS The most honored govern
m eut the sperld ever saw. The StalWarts
- In til re North will he sllenced, and Radical.
: Ism in The South dead. The sections VIII
be rewelde& and peace assured. Al. VIII
: feel safe, The resources OF the country Will
be developed to an extent OF which we have
no conception; Instead OF fifty we Will
So IN have ,one hundred millions OF people
- UT lder our flag, enjoying.tbe blessings OF
this great and free government"
:Shpposlns that we OF the South were will
ing to accept GRANT, how are we to induce
the Republicans of the North to accept
BAYARpe 1t would be visionary to expect
them, who confidently assert their power TO
elect both the President and the Vice-Pre-
sident, to esntent themselves with one OF
those Offices. They would not concede that
there was any motive for such a compromise
Oh their part
On the whole, we are Inclined to think
that there isn't much in DIR. kEITT's
scheme. and that his allies will be no more
numerous than the two classes of southern
~GRANrmen OF whom we wrote yesterday.
