general Grant's ropulsrifr and How lie
Wis imu Ina tod.
From the 2V. y. Herald.
Since the nomination of General Grant as
the Republican standard-bearer, the Demo
cratic Journals and etutnpera, to a great ex
tent, bare been laboring to create the impres
sion that be ia not a popular candidate; that
he if a oold and austere man, wh has no
thing of the elements of personal popularity
about him; that he possesses neither the civil
experience nor the qualities of statesmanship
neoessary for the Presidency; that as a mili
tary leader his record is that of a bntoher and
blunderer; that his success against the armies
of the Rebellion may be credited to his over
Whelming forces, the exhaustion of Rebeldom,
and the chapter of accidents, and, worse than
all, that he has no policy of his own, but is a
voiceless automaton, subject to be moved and
managed by the radioal powers behind the
scene. Under all these drawbaoks his politi
cal adversaries contend that his name and
military fame give no strength to the Republi
can party, but that against Seymour he stands
somewhat in the relation of General Scott to
poor Tierce in 1852.
Now, we think that to establish the popu
larity of Ueneral Grant it is only necessary to
recite the popular movements and influences
which brought about his unanimous nomina
tion on the first ballot in the Chicago Conven
tion. At this time last year he was not by any
means a favorite with the Republioan mana
gers and leaders. They, Greeley and all, dis
trusted him and leaned decidedly towards
Chief Justice Chase. In fact, in the last Octo
ber election in Ohio, the Republioan managers
made their fight upon the merits of Chase and
his negro sullrage policy, and Mr. Chase him
self, as if his political fortunes depended upon
the result, took an active hand in that canvass.
The result was the defeat of universal negro
suffrage in Ohio by a very decisive majority, a
Democratic Legislature, and a narrow esoape
of the Republican Governor. So much for
Ohio. In the last November State canvass in
New York Governor Fenton, Greeley, Bpenoer,
and others of the radical clique of managers
undertook a little more emphatically than it
was done in Ohio to make the election a test
of the availability of Mr. Chase as the pre
ordained Republioan candidate for the next
Presidency, and the result was overwhelm
ingly against him. The conservative Grant
Republicans largely contributed to this result
and lager beer did the rest.
All this time the radical leaders, managers
and newspapers, labored zealously against the
Republioan organs and movements in favor
of Grant. Their reasons for this course very
Strong as party reasons were, they said, that
Grant had not shown his hand; that his posi
tion on the great part issues of the day was
Tery uncertain; that of his antecedents as a
politician little or nothing was known, and
that in accepting the position of Seoretary
of War ad interim iroin Andrew Johnson, espe
cially when it involved the displacement of
Stanton, the General placed himself to some
extent on the side of Johnson and the De
mocracy. Nor was this construction of
this incident limited . to . the radicals;
for the Democraoy were so well pleased
with it that iu General Grant they began
to think they would have the very man they
were searching for the man required to
beat the radicals with Chase as their candi
date. Nor was this discussion of the chances
and probabilities of the Presidential fight
brought to an end till about the 22d of Febru
ary last. Meantime, upon the heels of the
Pennsylvania and Ohio elections, and more
aotively after the New York election, with its
forty-seven thousand Democratic majority,
spontaneous outbreaks of the Republioan rank
and file, here, there, and everywhere, in favor
of Grant began to be the order of the day.
Thus the popular tide had already set in very
Strongly in this direction when au event oc
curred at Washington which instantly Bettled
all doubts upon the subject in favor of Grant.
The event we refer to was the surrender of
the War Department by General Grant back
again to Seoretary Stanton, with the refusal of
the Senate to concur in the suspension by the
President. From this event, and the corre
spondence between Mr. Johnson and General
Grant resulting from it, the stone whloh the
radical builders had rejected was made at once
the head of the corner. In defining his posi
tion on this business Grant ,had done it so
effectually that immediately he beoame the
favorite of the radical leaders against all
comers, and immediately all the batteries of
the administration and the Demooratlo party
were turned against him. Ilad Grant preferred
it he could just as easily have made himself
the anointed champion of the administration
and the Democraoy, so manifest on all sides
was his strength among the people.
This change of base on the part of the Re
publioan leaders, following in the wake of the
masses of the party, Bettled the question for
the Chicago Convention, and resulted, too, iu a
change of base on the part of the Chief Jas
tioe. This was developed on the impeaohment
trial, and soon after the President's aoqulttal
Mr. Chase, as the defender of the Constitution,
began to loom up as the most available man
fo the administration, the Demooratlo party,
and the conservative Republicans. Bat this
immense stride forward was too long for the
short legs of the Bourbonized managers of the
National Tammany Convention, and so we
have Seymour, another poor Pieroe. against
Grant, who, in a quieter and more amiable
way, is another General Jackson, and a man of
far more than Jackson's olalmB to the oar
tiality and confidence of the people. They
know it, and from the first teBt election on his
merits in New Hampshire last spring down to
this day they have expressed their oonfidnnoe
In this quiet, sensible, cool, and practioal man
in a voice which cannot be misunderstood.
And so, from all the signs and facts before us,
it will be to the end of the battle; for the
masses of the people, even against the radioal
leaders, have an abiding faith in the sound
conservatism of General Grant.
The War Question Iu Europe.
From the iV. T. Tribune.
A disarmament of Prussia, as annonnoed by
a cable, despatch in our issue of Saturday,
weuld be an event of great importance. For
many years the reduction of the war budget,
and consequently of the army, has been a
Standing demand of the majority of the Prus
sian Legislature, and as the Government de
clared it Impossible to accede to the demand,
it has been a oonstant cause of quarrel between
it and the people. After the establishment of
the North German Confederation, the enemies
of Prussia in the South German States found
oone of their arguments against a union with
PrnSBia so effective as that of the heavy war
budget of Prussia. Formerly, the Prussian
Government justified the maintenance rt the
large standing army by pointing to its powerful
neighbors, who greatly exoeeded her In point
of population, and made it necessary for her to
defend her position as one of the great powers
of Hurope by keeping up the most efflolent
possible military eauTllshmeut., The most na
tural explanation ot a disarmament oi Prussia,
whenever it may take plane, would be that I great mass of the neorle. and the eonseouent
Prussia now feels herself sufficiently strong and I strength and stability of the nation, rather
vun vne inauigenoe of perbonal ambition or
the gratification of a restless, theorizing mind.
safe to dispense with a portion ef the army, to
graury the wishes of a majority of the Prussian
people, and to court the applause of ail the
progressive minds of Europe by assuming th-i
initiative in the question of a general disarma
ment, which the Progressive party have begun
to agitate . in every country. The military
power of Prussia during the last two years has
vactly increased. From being a nation of
18,000,000 of people, she has at present under
her immediate command the forces of a Con
federation numbering 29,000,000, and as, in
case of a foreign war, the South Germau States
would undoubtedly adhere to the stipulation
of the treaties which places their armies
nnder the chief command of Prussia, she re
presents in suoh a case a nation with nearly
39,000,0000 of people. As. the army of the
North German States has been wholly consoli
dated with the Prussian, and that of the
Southern States has been reorganized after the
Prussian model, the army of whloh the King
of Prussia, in time of war, assumes the su
preme command, ia double the strength of the
Prussian army prior to 1S66.
So powerful, indeed, was Prussia after the
reconstruction of Germany in 186G that the
French Government admitted the superiority,
in point of numbers and of readiness for a
great war, of the German to the French army.
A reorganization of the latter, though it was
extremely unpopular and alienated some of
the staunohest friends of the empire, was
forced through the legislative body, on the
plea of its absolute necessity for the safety of
France. The reorganization having been car
ried through, the French Government de
clared that now it was prepared for any emer
gency. Ever since there has been a wide
spread opinion that Napoleon, believing France
to be possessed of a military force superior to
that of Prussia, was desirous of bringing on
a war and conquering all of Germany that lies
west of the Rhine. The opinion has gained
strength in spite of (perhaps in consequence
of) the many semi-oihcial pacific declarations
on the part of the French Government. It
has been supposed that, after secretly com
pleting all the preparations for a great war,
Louis Napoleon might, as a pretext, spring
apon Prussia a peremptory demand for the
reduction of her army. Such a demand
would, of course, be refused. Prussia has
shown that she can muster courage to refuse
improper demands of Napoleon, and that she
will not and cannot disarm at his bidding.
Whenever Prussia may disarm, she will do so
because she thinks herself sufficiently strong
to risk suoh a step, and probably with a view
to the effect upon home policy in allaying the
o ppoBltion of the South German Liberals
The moneyed men of France do not believe
in the pacifio intention of the Emperor, and
the Bourse continues to be greatly agitated.
Everybody believes that the Emperor, not
withstanding his pacifio assurances, would not
hesitate an hour to declare war, if he were en
tirely sure of the issue. If he refrains from
war, it is becanee he regards the prospeots of
success as anything but sure. We adhere to
the opinion that Prussia will avoid as much as
possible to give Napoleon a just cause of
offense, and that Napoleon will not dare to
precipitate a war.
General (Jrant and a Democratic "Peace."
From the N. Y. Time.
. The organs of the Demooratlo party insist
that "peace" caDnot be Beouted to the country
by the election of General Grant. Precisely
bo in 18U4 they insisted that peaoe demanded
the election of McClellan and the defeat of
Lincoln. Then war was flagrant, and the
Democratic mode of seouring peaoe was by
stopping the war by proclaiming a truce
between the contending armies, and making
that the occasion and the basis for a peruia-.
nent adjustment of conflicting olalois. The
people did not sanction this programme.
They preferred to "fight it out," and in that
way to settle the issues that had been male.
They re-elected Lincoln, and thus proclaimed
their fixed and unalterable determination to
make peace byl overcoming and conquering
the rebellion which had disturbed it. The
Democratic plan would have euded the war,
undoubtedly, and would thus have given ns
peace; but it would have been a peaoe
lacking all sanction a peace that would have
settled nothing that would have left all the
original elements of the rebellion in full
vigor and force, and that would have been
speedily dispelled by a renewal of the contest
under circumstances infinitely more favorable
to the rebellion. . ,
Time has thoroughly vindicated the wisdom
of the decision in 18u'4. Peace came the war
closed the moment that decision was pro
nounoed. And so will it be now. The elec
tion of General Grant will have the same
effect on the political passions and conflicts
that now disturb the publio mind, which the
election of Lincoln in 1864 had upon the con
test waged in the battle-field. It will declare
the fixed purpose of the people; and that of
itself will go far towards seouring the objeot
sought. For, in Bpite of the elamor and con
fusion that always accompany a political can
vass, the will of the people, when onoe de
clared, always challenges and commands re
spect. All parties, all sections, all interests
and all clauses respect it. It is the natural
tendency of popular sentiment to deier to and
obey it. The history of the nation affords
only, one instance ol an effort to disregard
and resist it and the result of that was so
disastrous bo utterly fatal to those by whom
it was made that there ii but little danger of
its being renewed, during the present genera
tion at all events.
The Democratic party is dealing largely in
threats of resistance to the public will, if that
will shall be prouounced iu favor of the eleo
tion of General Graut and of reconstruction on
the basis of universal suffrage laid down by
Congress. There is neither terror nor strength
in these threats. Indeed, a portion of the
Demooratlo press is already learning that they
only damage the cause they are designed to
Berve. Theie may be diflereuoes of opinion as
to the wisdom of the Congressional plan of
reconstruction, but there will be none as to
the necessity of not allowing that plan, or any
other that may be embodied in the law of the
land, to be overthrown by for a. Democrats
may threaten Buuh resistance now as they did
in i860; and the South may trust to hopes of
party aid in resisting it now, as they did then.
But it will fail them still more signally and
disastrously now. The national sentiment
the sentiment of loyalty to the law the senti
ment which reinforces and sustains the will of
the nation as embodied in law, and which will
maintain and enforce that will against hostility
from any and from every quarter, is stronger
n ow than it ever was before.
In the personal character and temper of
General Grant, moreover, the whole oountry
feels a profound assurance that under his ad
ministration peaoe will be sought and scoured
in the spirit of peaoe. Die has held himself
aloof steadily from the Very beginning from
everything like party rancor and sectional
passion, lie has taken part in none of the
poiitioal or party oonfliota of the day. lie has
neither shown nor felt anything like hostility
or distrust of any portion of the people, in any
section or at any time, lie is no theorist no
scheming or epeonlating politician. His states
manship is purely prauttcal seeking praotioal

Lie Will maintain the Afloflniiancv and mino
rity of the law, first, because the obligations
of his official duty and oath will require him
to do it, and, furthermore, because it is only,
through the agency and authority of the law
that peace can be preserved, and the welfare
of the nation can be seoured.
The Demooratlo party has proclaimed the
great aim and objeot of its contest to be the
forcible nullification of the law, and the over
throw by force of the authority of the Govern
ment which seeks to maintain it. Frank
Blair's letter, which is everywhere accepted
by the party as its real platform the key
note of the canvass proclaims this in lan
guage so clear that it cannot be mistaken,
and so emphatio that it cannot be disregarded.
The paramount objeot whloh the Demoorats
have in view in electing a Democratic Presi
dent, is to seoure through him, by means of
the army that will be under his command, the
overthrow and dispersion of the State Govern
ments newly established in the Southern
States, and to compel by the bayonet the
Senate and, if necessary, the House of Repre
sentatives, to obey the dictation of the Execu
tive alone. This is the Demooratlo programme
for the government of this Republic It cor
responds preolsely with the programme by
which Louis Napoleon, in 1852, converted the
Republio of Frauoe, of which he had been
elected President, into an Empire, and made
himself Emperor. It differs only in this, that
Napoleon did the act in the darkness of mid
night, and then asked the people to sanction
it, while our Demooratlo party has the frank
ness and the assurance to ask the people to
sanction their coup d'etat in advanoe. Napo
leon told the French that his Empire was
"peace." The Demoorats tell our people the
same thing; bnt as their Exeoative Empire is
not yet established, and they have not yet
the command of the army, the people will
probably look for "peace" in some other
direction.
"Repudiation."
From the If. T. World.
One of the chief sections of the Republioan
platform adopted at Chicago, is a bull against
louunura, luiuiiwueu iu iiiese worus.
"We denounce all forms of reoudlation
national crime; and the national nouorrequires
llje pnynieut oitbe publio luUebteduess lu the
nttermoHi good falili lo all creditors, at home
and abroad, not only according lo llie letter but
me tpirn, ui uie ias UQQer wiiicu it was con
tracltd."
Now we undertake to say, and shall find no
diliioulty in proving, that this resolution con
dooms the whole aotion of the Republican
party in relation to the payment of publlo
ueuis up o mis vime.
first, we win meet mem on tnelr own
ground, and, using their own boastful pre
tences as the foundation ot our argument,
will show that the Republicans are admitted
and self-proclaimed repudiators, if the publio
debt is due, as they contend it ia, iu gold. The
chief point of the recent speooh of Mr. Atkin
son, indorsed by all the Republican papers, is,
that since the close of the war the Govern
ment has paid off more than eight hundred
millions of the publio debt, or one-fourth of
its whole amount in 1865. Just for the nonce,
merely for argument's sake, let us admit this
preposterous claim. One-fourth, then, of the
whole publio debt has been paid by the
Republioan party. But paid in what cur
rency f Is theie a Republioan who will stand
up aud say that that great amount, or any
portion of it, baa been paid in gold f Ia good
truth, not a dollar of the debt has been paid
iq gold not a dollar of the floating debt, nor
a dollar of the funded debt. Now (still rea
soning oh the absurd claim of Mr. Atkinson
and his indorsers) if one-fourth of the debt
has been paid without using: a dollar of gold
for that purpose, why may not still more of it
be paid iu the same way ? What oonsistenoy
is there in contending that the publio debt is
honestly payable in gold, and claiming oredit
in the same breath for having paid off eight
hundred millions of it in greenbacks f For
certain it is, that all whloh has been paid,
thus far, be it much or little, has been paid
in lawful money.
Reasoning on the false assumptions of adver
saries is not, however, very satisfactory. Dis
missing these assumptions, we prooeed to deal
with unquestionable facts.
' The Republican party has had possession of
nearly all the State Governments since the
Legal-tender act was passed. Those States
had debts contracted previous to the passage
of that aot; debts contracted on a gold basis;
debts due for gold actually borrowed, and for
the payment of whitb, principal and Interest,
the States had issued their bonds. Now here
were existing contraots respecting the "letter"
and "spirit" of which there could be no pos
sible question. The money borrowed by the
States previous to the war was real money,
either gold or notes convertible into gold at the
pleasure of the holder. The understanding
on both sides was that the faith of the States
was pledged to pay those debts in a currency
ol the same value. With what faoe can a
party which has repudiated nearly every one
of those contraots put on airs of indignant vir
tue and denounce repudiation f It is the very
same party whioh has had control of the Fede
ral Government and the State Governments;
and Laving repudiated oontraots about which
there can be no question, it only exposes itself
to derision when it affects to be so very tender
about other loans made after the legal tender
act was passed, aud iaoluded iu its terms. In
this State, Governor Seymour insisted on
ntaintaining the faith of contracts inviolate;
but he was overruled by the Republican Legis
lature. ,
Again, at the extra session oalled in the
summer of 18ll Congress passed an aot au
thorizing a large issue of Treasury notes to
run thiee years, bearing seven and three
tenths per cent, in'erest, and receivable for
duties on imports. A large amount of those
notes was issued one hundred and fifty mil
lions in all. Be it observed that this loan
preceded the pannage of the legal-tender aot;
in the contemplation of both borrower and
lenders it was a gold contraot. It could not
have been otherwise, because no other
money than coin was then recogulzed in the
laws of the United States. Yet - this con
tract was repudiated by the Republioan
party, and repudiated in every conceivable
form. It was repudiated in theory by the
passage of the legal-tender aot, which made
the greenbacks a medium for discharging all
demands and claims against the United States
of every kind exoept interest. It was repu
diated in practioe by Seoretary Fessenden,
who refused to reoelve the notes of 1861 in
payment of duties, although they were ex
pressly made so by the terms of the law. The
contract was again repudiated in praotloe by
actual payment in greenbacks at maturity,
although the debt had-been incurred in gold.
When the debt was oontraoted, the Govern
ment received dollar for dollar; when it was
paid, at the expiration of three years, the
lender got back only forty oents in gold value
for the hundred oents in gold value whioh ha
had loaned to the Government. And a party
which treated the public creditors in this
shabby manner has the assnranoe to denounce
as repudiation -the patnent of the publio
bonds in strict aooordance with their terms l
What Hay tbe Tcoplo of Maine!
from the Button loH.
On Monday next the voters of our sister
State of Maine will be oalled upon to decide,
not merely a question of local administration,
but indirectly to pass upon the merits of great
national parties and Issues. As they will par
ticipate in the first State election which may
be considered to have any poiitioal slgnifloanoe,
since the naming of candidates for the Presi
dential contest, their aotion upon this oocaiion
must be regarded as of the highest importance.
We trust they realize the weight of responsi
bility which rests upon them, both as oitizens
of the State and nation, in exercising the right
of suffrage, and the far-reaohing oonsequeuoes,
either for good or evil, whioh may hang upon
their popular verdiot. They have lately heard
the great poiitioal and finanoial issues of the
day discussed by able men of both parties,
and, if they are not blinded by prejudice or
enslaved by party ties, they will have no diffi
culty in discriminating between the true aud
the false, or deoiding what is their present
duty to themselves and the oeuntry at large.
They will bear in mind that, notwithstand
ing the artful appeals of demagogues who
would keep alive the dying embers of sec
tional strife, the war for the Union is over,
and that the political issues settled by it are
dead beyond the power or hope of resurreo
tion; and, moreover, that there is no party or
clique, representing public sentiment in any
part of the oountry, which professes or desires
to revive these issues.' If there is any spirit
of disunion or disloyalty to the Constitution
remaining, it is represented mainly by
those Northern radioals who did their best (or
worst) to precipitate the country into civil
war, who urged its proseontion for the sake of
plunder and party gain rather than national
unity, and who now refuse to acquiesoe in any
restoration of that Union that does not subvert
the very foundations of republican government
and guarantee them a perpetual lease of power.
If there are any remnants of rebellion and
secession still extant and needing to be sub
dued, this is the prinoipal form in which the
loyal people of the North have got to meet it
at the ballot-box.
With the dead past buried out of sight, the
business in hand relates to the restoration of
political harmony and friendship, to the res
cue of the nation from ruinous debt and taxa
tion, to the renewed eo-operation of those
commercial and industrial forces, which in
the past have given us plenty and prosperity,
and to the building up of those great mate
rial interests in all sections of the country,
which are mutually sustaining and contribute
to the general welfare. The3e are the living,
paramount issues of the day the matters
which vitally affect the finances, commerce,
and industry of every State in the Union, and
come home to the business, the pockets, and
the families of each and every one of their
people. These are the real questions upon
which our fellow-citizens of Maine are to
vote; and we believe they will vote under
standing, notwithstanding the efforts of the
radical mouth-pieces to keep them out of
sight.
Urged by the highest patriotism, fully ap
preciating the importance of the result of
their action, we are confident the Demo
crat! o and conservative voters of Maine, on
Monday, will so disoharge their obligations
to their country as to win its grateful admi
ration. WANTS.
