(From the Greenvie (Aia.} Advocate August 2s.I


The bare fact that the American people can
calmly discuss the probabilities of an empire in
TINS country is portentous OF coming evi and s, or
should be sufficient to arouse every patriotic citf-
zen to sense OF the danger which threatens tho
priceless birthright which he inherited from hia
Revolutionary sires. The burning zeal for tho
maintenance and further development OF republi-
can institutions in the United States, affected by
the party now In power, does not by any means,
afford sufncient guarantee OF the continuance OF
democratic form OF government in this country.
Indeed, there Ii good reason to suspect that the
dominant party secretly intend to inaugurate a.
monarchy py 80 lar abusing republicanism as 70


Already the foul and lawless deeds done in the
name OF republicanism, and which are but the e-
climate offspring OF extreme radlcalisn, have ex-
cited the disgust OF decent and sensible people
such degree that many, perhaps as last resort,
would be willing to accept a monarchy as means
OF escape from the intOlerable misrule OF party
that derives its power from the c9pidity OF knaves

most malignant passions OF the deceived and MIS-
guided masses.

From the Lancaster pal Intelligencer tdems-


cratic) September 81


When the NEW YORK HERALD started the discus
sion Of the subject OF Casarism It was sneered ae
as an alarmist by the radical newspapers OF the
cOuntry but, since the subject has assumed more
serious aspect, 1t may be well to inquire whether
there Is any ground for the alarm which tho
HERALD Is endeav0ring TO excite. We have no
fears that the American people would tamely sub
init to any such usurpatiOn OF power as is implied
In the term C@sarism. Any attempt by Generak
Grant or his friends to seize the retns OF govern
ment for imperial purposes, or to overturn repub-
ucan institutions would fire the patriotic spirits
of even more degenerate people than ours But
that the idea OF third term Is distasteful tU
General Grant or his political friends, or that they
such result we do not believe There is q danger
GUS and widespread idea ABROAD in the land that
rial interests OF the country and perhaps create .
commercial panic This idea Is encouraged by q
large class, to whom the continuance Of the present
administration Is q consideration Of profit. A.
large army OF 0filce-hOlders, thoroughly organized
controlled the republican party last fall and se-
cured Grants denomination. The same element
has like interest IN his reelection In three years
and 1t Ia most likely are already laying pipe to se
cure that end. No effort will be spared TO convince
the people that change Of administration II
| uncaled for and dangerous, gnd gradually the re-
publican party will be led to favor Grants re-eec-
tion. AT The commencement OF his first term no
one dreamed that he would be candidate the Sec
ond time, and his Indifference to the subject now
is no indication. that he will not lend himself to
tnis scneme OF third election, which Is now openly
acknowledged IN some quarters. 1t is not too early
20 conpfnce the agitation OF this issue, and che
way 20 meet II fairly and squarey is by the in
aurdration OF movement to limit the term OF
oince by constitutional provision: Let this be made
at once vital political issue, and II the republican
party fears to meet 1t the time has arrived for the
people of this country to be on their guard against
at variance with the spirit Of our republican nstl
