GRANT WRITE* A TETTER AND
PROVE* lIIM*EI.F A LIAR.
There is no use; mincing words abont
Gen. Grant. The sooner the disguise
is stripped from his face the better.
The sooner his treacherous character
and the purpose of his treachery are
exposed, the more easy will be his over
throw. Hence, we shall not hesitate,
in speakingof him, to call things by
their light names.
At Appomattox, in April, 1860, U. S.
Grant accepted the surrender of R. E.
Lee, upon the condition that so long
us the said Lee and his troops
should obey the laws, and conduct
themselves as peaceful citizens, they
should not be molested in person or
property. To this Grant pledged not
only his own faith, but the honor of
the army and of the Government. A
few months afterwards, thissame Grant
made a tour of the South and reported
to the President that the people of the
States which had been in rebellion,
were well disposed towards the Gov
ernment of the United States, desired
to be restored to their former relations
with that Government, and ought to
be represented in Congress. But
the Radical cabal at Washington
determined that Grant's terms to Lee
should be violated, and Grant's report
to the President treated as a falsehood.
They established an odious tyranny
over the very people to whom Grant,
at Appomattox, had pledged his
word and the faith of thearmy, that they
should not be molested in person and
*
property. As a mass, those people had
faithfully obeyed the laws, nay, in obe
dience to thesuggestion of t lie President,
they had abolished slavery and repudi
ated their war debt. No complaint
was made against them, as a commu
nity, for disobedience to the laws.—
Nevertheless, the Radical Congress en
acted such laws as place their persons
in the hands of a military desjiot and
subject their property to taxation for
the support of governments in
which they have no voice. Thus,
Grant's terms to Lee and his soldiers
were trampled under foot. It was
natural to expect that Grant would
never become a party to his own dis
grace, by chiming in with the Radicals
in repudiating his own pledged word
and the plighted faith of the army.
For sometime he preserved his integri
ty, but at last he fell. The Presiden
tial bait lured him into the Radical
dead-fall, and forgetting his principles
as a citizen, his faith as a soldier and
his honor as a man, he put under his
feet the terms upon which he received
thesword of Lee at Appomattox.
But we anticipate. Confiding in the
patriotism and honor of Gen. Grant,
the President appointed him to a place
in his Cabinet. As our readers well
know, Edwin M.Stanton wassuspend
ed from the War Office, and Grant ap
pointed in his stead. Stanton refused
to go out until Grant demanded the
office, and, then, Stanton declared that
lie yielded to superior force. Thus
Gen. Grant became one of the Presi
dent's official advisers, a trusted mem- ;
ber of his Cabinet. But the time came
when the U. S. Senate, which now as
sumes to appoint Cabinet officers, was
to act upon Stanton's suspension. The
President, aware that the Senate, for
partizan reasons, had determined tore
store Stanton to the War Office, called
upon Gen. Grant to >tate what course
he intended to pursue in case the Sen
ate should attempt to re-instate Stan
ton, and the Genera! replied that he
\v< u d either resign, so that the Presi
dent could appoint some one in his
stead, or hold on to the office and let
Stanton seek his remedy in the Courts;
as to which course he would pursue, lie
would inform the President at a certain
time which he specified. That certain
time came and passed, but Grant failed
to see the President. The General,
however, hung up the key to the War
Office upon a nail, where Stanton could
conveniently reach it, and sneaked out
of the Department without saying a
Word about it to the President, his
commander-in-chief and superior. The
country was scandalized by the mean
ness of his treachery and even Radical
partizans condemned the duplicity and
faithlessness of Grant. The damage
done to the General's reputation, be
came apparent even to the supposed
imperturbable Ulysses himself. Ac*
customed to nothing but praise and
puffery, lie flew into a towering passion
at the criticism that was leveled at him,
and seizing a pen, he ivrites to the
President, making a general denial of
the statement that he had violated any
promise made to Mr Johnson. The
President replied tiiat he (Grant) did
make the promises with the violation j
of which he is charged, and refers to j
four members of his Cabinet as wit- i
peases. Grant, still more enraged, re- j
joins, reiterating that he did not make
those promises, but admits that the
President may have understood him as
making them, and concludes by saying
that he had accepted tlie War Office
only to prevent some one from filling it
who might prevent, the execution of the
Reconstruction Acts, thus, in one single
sentence putting himself squarely upon
the Radical Negro-Supremncy-Bones
and-Banjo platform, and acknowledg
ing that he had acted in bad faith with
the President in accepting the appoint
ment of Secretary of War. It was an
evil hour for Gen. Grant, when he per
mitted himself to be betrayed by his
anger into the writing of these letters.
He has made an issue with the Presi
dent, before tne whole country, on a
question of veracity. He has placed
himself on trial, of his own accord, and
he gives to the jury nothing hut his own
unsupported assertions, whilst he is con
tradicted by five of the most honorable
men and highest officials in the coun
try. Thus has Graet himself proved
his treachery, and exposed the false
hood by which he seeks to disguise it.
Shall we have a liar and pledge-break
er for President? That is the question.
REACHES OF R ECO N*T RECTI ON.
The Radical plan for bringing the
excluded States into the Union, black
end fon most, con intends itself, each
succeeding day, more and more, to the
admiration of the murderers, robbers
and criminals generally, throughout
the country. The letter of Ex-Gov.
B. F. Perry, of South Carolina, pub
lished on our outside, gives some start
ling facts in connection with this sub
ject. The U.S. Mail carriers are at
tacked and plundered by the lawless
negroes, quiet, inoffensive citizens are
robbed, tlie women outraged, and the
husbands, fathers and brothers shot
down in cold blood, all in the name of
"loyalty," Radical Reconstruction and
Negro Supremacy. African mobs are
j common occurrences and it is worth
one's life to be a policeman in any of
the Southern cities. The Associated
Press gave us the following telegram,
a few days ago:
SAVANNAH, Ga., Feb. 4.—A large
negro meeting was held at the African
church to-day, to advocate the election
of Charles H. Hopkins for the office of
Mayor in place of Mayor Anderson,
who is now before a military commis
sion. During the meeting a disturb
ance occurred outside the church by a
disorderly negro resisting the police,
who were attempting to arrest him.
The negroes drew pistols on the police
and the row became general. Rein
forcements of police drove off the riot
ers and captured the ringleaders. Lieu
tenant Bell, of the police, was shot in
the head and leg, and Lieutenant How
ard was knocked off his horse with a
brick. Several policemen and four or
five negroes were wounded, but none
were killed. The rioters have now dis
persed. but much excitement prevails
among them.
Scarcely a clay passes without bring
ing some such news as this. Scarcely
an hour goes by, that does not bear rec
ord to some hellish murdor, or other
infamous crime, perpetrated by the
Southern blacks, either upon the
whites, or upon some of their own
race. Such is the effect of the Recon
struction policy which supports four
millions of thriftless negroes by contri
butions from *he Freedmen's Bureau,
for the sole purpose of using them as
voters to overcome the political power
of eight millions of whites. Such is
the result of the subjugation and dis
franchisement of a large portion of the
most intelligent white people in the
Southern States, whilst the ignorant,
debased and now utterly demoralized
negroes are made the favorites of Con
gress and the depositaries of t lie politi
cal power of those Stales. To this feast
of murder, violence and anarchy, are
the people of the Union invited. To
this epithalaniium of Negro crime,
each voter is invited, when be is nre
i
sented with a ticket bearing the name
of Hadieal candidates. Will you ac
cept? Will you drink the wine of the
Radical partizans out of the skulls of
the murdered victims of Reconstruc
tion ? Will you dance upon the graves
of your white brothers slain in cold
blood by the brutal Negro instruments
of the Loyal League? As well might
you have the heart to do these things,
as to vote a ticket which dooms the
white population of the South to vio
lence. slavery and death.
REFRESHING.
It is absolutely refreshing, it is like
being "led among green pastures by
still waters," to see a Radical journal
which exhibits in its columns the
faintest trace of tiiat former doctrine
of the Republican party, "the President
is the government." This was tiie cry
during President Lincoln's time, but
since then the tune has lieen wonder
fully changed, Now Congress is the
Government, Congress Is supreme, and
the President is a mere tool to carry tiie
will of Congress into effect. Such are
the mutations of Radical poiiti.es,-
Ainongallour Radical exchanges we
find hut one that seems to have the
slightest idea of the character of the
Presidential office, and thisoneis more
radical, in many respects, than any
"Republican" paper in the country.
We refer to the Delaware 'Pa.) Repub
lican. In its issue of Feb. 7, that paper
has the following editorial:
THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET. —
When people talk about the President s
Cabinet and his refusal to invite or
admit Mr. Stanton into it, they show
that they are not well posted in (he
matter. The truth is, such a thing as
a Cabinet is not recognized either by
the Constitution or the law. The Con
stitution says that "the president may
require the opinion in writing of the
principal officer in each of the Execu
tive Departments upon any subject- re
lating to the duties of their offices;"
and this is the nearest approach to the
recognition of a Cabinet, to be found
in the Constitution. The President
may or may not "require the opinion"
of any officer, and may <Tr may not con
sult him. and invite him into consul
tation with the others or not, just as
lie pleases. Congress has not the
slightest control over his action in this
matter.
And yet, friend Walter of U\c Repub
lican, your partizans in Congress, are
talking of impeaching and removing
the Presidt tit because he refuses to
consult Stanton, or to recognize him as
Secretary of War, and, we believe,
you acquiesce in that programme. —
How is this?
THE IION'IHIOI.IIER** DODGE.
Every man and his wife are just now
receiving circulars from a committee of
New York city bond-holders who have
nominated U. S. Grant, on their own
hook, without a platform, for Presi
dent. Alexander T. Stewart, the
"Merchant Prince," Peter Cooper the
Millionaire, W. B. Astor, the Rich
Man, Cornelius Vanderbilt, the
Wealthy Man, and others of that ilk,
sign this circular. These nabobs want
to elect Grant in order to keep on draw
ing their gold interest on their Govern
ment hands. They know that Grant is
in the interest of the bondholders and
they expect by keeping bis epaulettes
before the eyes of the people, to blind
the suffering masses to the great wrong
perpetrated upon them by exempting
Government bonds from taxation and
compelling the people, out of their
hard earned money, to pay them, the
bond-holders, in gold. But this game
will not win—ne'er a time! Even
Vanderbilt, we see, lias become disgus
ted with Grant, since the latter's false
hood to the President, and now repu
diates him. Ulysses will be repudia
ted by Vanderbilt's masters, the people!

George Francis Trafn made a speech
in Boston, one night recently, in which
be dissected the "great reticent" after
the following style:
"The moment a man goes into Train
ing (laughter) for the White House, as
Grant has been since Shi/oh, he courts
criticism. The offiee-holders are now
after him like pilot fish after a shark.
Grant at the head of the army was
safe, but Grant for President is the
most gigantic sell ever put off on an in
telligent people. [Laughter O! and
dissent] Whenever I meet him, J
have the inclination to say, 'General
1 have only five minutes time, tell us
all you know.' [ Daughter,] The dress
circle may be fooled with his head
shaking business, under the proverb
that 'young people should be seen and
not beard' Gut the pit, remembers the
other proverb,'that gravity is a mys
terious carriage of the body to cover
up the defects of the mind.' [Daugh
ter and applause.] The man who was
a generation planting a sidewalk from
his pigeon house at Galena to the rail
way depot, will never be President of the
United .States. [Loud laughter.] Ben
nett only praises him to kill him, as he
did MeCiellan, and when he be
eame Secretary of War, to help John
son slide .-tanton over his back into
tli ditch, (laughter,) the cork was out
o. the bottle, and out came the politi
cian aiming at the White House. —
Judge Saucho Panza at Barcelona,
sagely remarked that the higher the
witness climbed, the more he showed
his statesmanship. [Loud laughter.|
Grant's name is famous on account ol
his wonderful facility for macadami
zing the road troui Washington to
Richmond with skulls of American
citizens, (sensation,) and for his daily
dispatches to Stanton, 'send down 20,-
000 more men to start another grave

roar, while the bill itself was "the fall,"
and great was the fall thereof.

the usurpation of the Radical Congress.
Mr. Meyers responded to the requestand
gave the audience a statement of facts

whither they are drifting.
After theconclusion of the last speech,
Mr. It. W. Berkstresser, chairman ol
theCominitteeon Resolutions, made the
following report, which was unani
mously adopted, after which the meet
ing adjourned with three cheers for tlie
Constitution and the Union:
Resolved, By the people of Bedford
county, wlio uphold and defend the
Constitution ol tiie United Stales and
the Union of the States existing there
under, that, laying aside all partizan
prejudice and subordinating all minor
differences to their duty to maintain
that Constitution and preserve that
Union, to the end that each and every
State shall once more be restored to its
proper relations to the Federal govern
ment, that peace may be restored to
our whole country, and that the waste
places may be made glad with prosper
ity and plenty, it behooves all good
citizens, irrespective of former political
affinities, to unite together for the ov
erthrow of the adical Revolutionists
who are now threatening to destroy
this Republic.
Resolved, That the public officer who
swears to support the Constitution and
then deliberately and knowingly vio
lates it, is a perjured t aitor, be lie Sen
ator, Congressman, or Executive, and
should be held up to the scorn and ex
ecration of tiie people whose trust lie
has betrayed and the charter of whose
liberties lie is trampling under his
feet.
Resolved, That Congress, "acting
outside of the Constitution," (as ac-
I knowledges! by one of the leading men
; of that body) defies the people to whom
i it is responsible for its acts, and, there
! fore, merits the condemnation of all
; good citizens. It lias erected a Military
| Despotism in ten States of the Union,
i whose representatives it has refused
i admittance for upwards of two years.
It has established Negro Suffrage in
! ten States of the Union by lorce ot
! arms. It has kept up a standing Army
! of fifty thousand men at a cost of huu
• dreds of millions of dollars per annum.
1 has kept four millions of negroes in
thriftless idleness, by maintaining tlieui
at tiie public expense through the a
: geney of the Freedmeii's Bureau. It
! has robbed the Executive of his just
and Consliluti >nal powers and now
seeks to abolish tlie Supreme Judici
ary. It has added millions on millions
: to the public debt, since the close of the
1 war, without making any provision
• for thy payment of any portion of it.
It has established u system of taxation
unequal in its ouer&uon, leaving the
wealthy untaxed and placing the bur
den upon the middle and poorer class
! If lias so legislated that labor l*tt'
guishes, capital is buried in Govern
ment bonds, and, (as a consequence)
bankruptcy stares us in the face. We
appeal to our fellow citizens to rouse;
themselves and prepare to hurl front i
|Mwer, at the ballot box, the infamous
cabal which disgraces the name and
perverts the functions of the American
Congress.
Resolved, That President Johnson
deserves t he support a ml commendation
of the American people for his firm
ness in resisting the encroachments of
the Radical revolutionists, and we
pledge ourselves to stand hy him so
mug as he stands by the Constitution!
ami tiie liberties of the people. Should !
a Revolutionary Congress dare to re-1
move him from oflice before trial and
conviction upon articles of i n peach - i
nient, we call upon him to defend the!
outraged Constitution by every |
at his command and assure ■him that
in such case he will not call in vain for;
assistance.
Resolved, That taxation should be ;
equal upon all species of property and
that the large proportion of the wealth
of the country now invested in Gov
ernment bonds and thus exempted
from taxation, should be made to bear
its share of the public burden.
Resolved, That our members of the
Legislature are hereby requested to
vote for the repeal of the Act of last
session compelling railroad officials.!
under heavy penalties, to permit ue-;
groes to occupy seats by the side of
wnite ladies.
Resolved, That O. E. Shannon, Esq..
be and he is hereby elected a delegate to
the ensuing fourth of March Demo
cratic State Convention, with distinc
tions to vote for lion. John M. Cooper,
of Franklin county', for Surveyor Gen
eral.
Resolved, That it should he made a
point by every Democrat and Conserva
tive Republican in the county, to assist
in organizing the elements of oppo
sition to Radicalism, and to this end.
to turn out to the Spring Elections
and heat the enemy in the first skirm
ish, preparatory to his utter defeat, in
