Every true patriot in the United
States is under renewed obligations
to Gen. Grant for his lsbOrs in favor
of the republican cause. View as
you may, his presence. brief, pointed
and telling speeches had an influence
in the campaign just closed which
is hard to estimate, but will, in all
time to come, be remembered and
appreciated by his true friends. He
has proven on other occasions that he
loves his country and can be relied
upon in the hour Of danger.

opponents nomination. In some
quarters a campaign lie is regarded
as an excellent thing, but the great
body of the people Of Saxon mould
believe in fair play, and will justly
punish deceit, especially IL it is SIM
ply brutal and witless. !
