one of the e btori of the New York
Tribune, Ppeaka after the following
famhion of f ;en. tt t iNT, 110 W Pre.ldela
The San pronounce% the President "in
competent, lazy, neglectful of lie du.
11(.4, unable to comprehend them, and
careleen ul i,ertitrming them." It also
term:, Ire administration "had, fuollsll.
weak, cowardly, corrupt, anti Ameri
can, conteCptible at home nod more
contemptible abroad." Hut here la the
artit le
"As for General Grant porsonally, , ti c
have neither spite, grudge, nor reN env,.
I le never rer11:101L14 any pi rsonal l'ar or,
ior we never asked aIQ, thing
save only the appointment of llorace
l irei let as Minister bo England ; awl
us he sent a man there who isn't half
as lit kir the place as Mr. Greeley, Vt,
have lower borne him any grudge 011
that account. But toward Gen. Grant
as President we confess that we cher
ish a very profound feeling of de,ap
pointmeut and dissaLiplaction. There
were few MO) in the t r Ollntr) who had
taken more stock in him than we had.
During the war, when he wits digging
canals at Vicksburg, and was ou the
point of being relieved from his com
mand, Mr. Dana did what he could to
luov him retained at the head of the
army in the Missite,ippi Valley , and
the effort was successiul. But lor his
agency Grant would then have been sent
back to Galena ; and in that even/ he
could neithen have bream. Commander
ut Chief of the army nor P,esident of
the United States.
Next. when he was a candidate for
the Presidency, we did what we could
to secure for him the nommarion of
the Republican National Convention.
and then we helped to get him the
votes of a majority of the American
people. All this we did Simply because
we t bought.u. best for the country ; and
all we demanded of (ieneral (k rant was
an honest, benkabla, disinterested, tind
patriotic administration of his office
Dyes anybpdy think that was too nnicli
to expect o f hint
But instead of this, his administra
tion is had, toolish. weak, cowardly
corrupt, anti American, contemptible
at hotne,and more contetupuble abroad.
It is impossible to speak the truth and
deny that this is 40. It is impo , stble
for an independent journalist, anxious
to discharge his jobigatuals to the peo•
plc, to conceal ?SF pal late fitetS so ;ear
ful so notorious.
The President is incompetent, lazy,
neglectful of his duties, unable to corn•
prebend them, and careless about per.
forming them. lie appoints men to
office simply because they have made
him preseatm, or are hie relations, or
because some foolish caprice „prompts
it. He degrades the count 4 in the
eyes of all the world, and stands trem•
bling like a coward for fear of a cor
rupt and bankrupt power like Spain.
The man who saved the nation as a
soldier is covering us with shame as a
L'rebideht.
