ating to him, and that he had reason to
exclaim. from tins very bottom OF his
heart, Lord. save me from my friends!
But it seems we were utterly mistaken 10
MIR. Garfeld's views of the matter. He
was, it would appear, highly gratined By
the action of the Cleveland Republicans
and Gen. Grant: SO highly gratiied,
indeed. that what they did 10 the hot
blood of political warfare he indorsss and
initiates in the presence OF the
faculty and pupils OF female Sc ninary.
We frankly confess that nothing, from
tho day of the nomination at Chicago
until now. has surprised US as much as
this Incident: and we also confess that
nothing Dir. Garfield has ever done, or
been accused of doing, has given us such
an unfavorable opinion of the man. 1t is
q case into which party or politics do not
enter. 1t is q case which involves not
merely his sense of personal honor, but
his sense of personal 6ecency; and how he
can reconcile either honor or decency with
his performance at PainesvilleIs mystery
to US, and we think will be mystery to
every gentleman. Democrat or Repub-
ican, in the land, 1t is possible, of course,
that Mr.. Garfield has been able to recon

The Tribune says:
when the Democratic party became
the defender of human slavery, that fact
alone made it difficult for that party to
win majority 10 any free state"
There is certain degree of truth In
this statement: bat then the Democrats
had very considerable assistance from the
Wings in the support Of the m0st &C.

success easier,
1t was Willard Fillmore. Northern
Wing, from our own State of New York

months after that brave soldiers in

signed the Fugitive Slave law. which. to a

ers. Mr.. Evarts made one of his
elaborate speeches in its defence.
Gen, Grant stated after the war that be

Sumner was.
There are many public officers now
