GHAN'T BEFORE IIIS NOMI NATION. Some months ago the copperheads were j raflier hopeful that Gen. Grant might be j prevailed upon to become their candidate for the Presidency instead of the Ilepub ! lican. Their opinions of the man at that ! time may fairly be taken as honest ones, ! therefore we propose tit lay some of them \ belbre our readers and from time to time j compare them with such opinions as they ' ; have already expressed since his nomination j and may hereafter express. The Pittsburg . • Prut one of the most reliable Democratic ] j papers in th- Slate, within a ft w months, Ipast has spoken as follows: Suppose that, contrary to the wish of i some of the leading Radical Black Repnb i 'icans, who want the office themselves, Gen. ! Grant should be nominated for the I 'rest deney by fheKepublicanparty, which course j ought the Democratic party to pursue? j : Ought ice to nominate a man in opposition , |to General Grant F Ought vet to chary him with Wuff an enemy to hit Country) or ! in favor of unjust measures, merr'y because he may have rednvrrl taid nomination ? * * * * \Ye are inclined to believe that more de- i pends upon General Grant now than upon any other individual in the United Ftatcs. We Wore him tnlte far superior to the ma jority of the far sighted politicians who have been ruling the nation without bring ing peace- or economy to our legi-iation. He is knowu to all the people as a straight ! forward man. and, so far as can he judg< d. 1 a man tcU disposal to deal fairly with the I people of all sections of the Union. I ■ * * * ♦ * If/rot letter thing con - do in case of General Grant's nomination by the Pcpnb lican party than to Y OTK FOR HIM FOll THE FRF.FIDKNCY i Our aim should ■ be to stnngthen his hands: to render him as much as possible independent of party, and ; to ELECT HIM AS THE PRESIDENT i tjF TIIE PEOPLE. If unanimously, so | much the better. WE SOLMNEV BELIEVE THAT IF THE PFO PT.E UF.NERAI.T R OF TIIE UNITED STATES | CAN COME TOGETHER WITH REAL UNANIMI TV ON GENERAL GRANT, IN REGARD TO THE PHFSIDENCT, IT WTT.L BE THE HAPIT- I EST THING FOR OL'R COUNTRY THAT COULD i POSSIBLY OCCUR. The future good effects 'of this course are almost incalculable. We earnestly a.-k our Democratic friends every where to consider this subject careftillv. The New York World, the leading and most respectable copperhead paper in the country, spoke as follows of Gen. Grant in 1865. LIEUTENANT f VNFRAI GRANT. Prom The World, April 11, IJSbo. (Jen. Grant's history should teach us to | discriminate better than wc Americans are apt to do between glitter and solid work. Our proneness to run after demagogues and spouters may find a wholesome corrective in the study of such a character as his. The j qualities by which great things are accom i plished are here seen to have no necessary ; connection with showy and superficial ac complishments. When the mass of mc j look upon .stu li a ul .ai aotcr, they iuiy icaiu a truer respect for themselves and each i other; they arc taught by it that high qnal ities and great abilities are consistent with : the simplicity of taste, contempt for parade, and plainness of manners with whiuh direct and earnest men have a strong natural sym pathy. Ulysses Grant, the tanner, Ulysses Grant, the unsuccessful applicant for the 1 post of Gity Surveyor of St. Louis, Ulysses Grant, the driver into that city of his two horse team with a load of wood to sell, had within him every manly quality which will cause the name of Lieutenant-General Grant to live forever in history. Hi.-> caseer is a lesson in practical democracy; it is a quiet satire on the dandyism; the puppyism, and the shallow affectation of our fashiona ble exquisites as well as upon the swagger of our plausible, glib-tongued demagogues. Not by any means that great qualities are incoß*">tent with cultivated manners and a fiu-nt elocution; but that such superficial accomplishments are no measure of worth or ability. Gen. Grant's last brilliant campaign sets the final seal upon his reputation. It stamps him as the superior of his able an tagonist as well as of all the eomtiiandets who have served with or under him in the great campaigns of the la-t year. It is not necessary to sacrifice any part of their well earned reputations to his. Sherman and Sheridan deserve all that has ever been said in their praise; but there had never been a time, since Grant was made Lieu tenant General, when anybody hut Sher man, on our side, could have been classed with him. Since Sherman's bold march IIKIIFOKI). I*A. FRIDAY. OUT. GO- IMis. hrough Georgia, aud his capture of Savan iah arid Charleston, there have been many who, in their strong admiration of hi* great tehieveroents, inclined to rank him as the •rt-ater general of the two. That judgment, ■ve take ft is Wo# reversed by the cotirt of inal appeal; not by dwarfing the reputa :on vi Sherman, which suffers no just ibafewont, but by the expansion into grand r Vtoportions of that of Grant. Grant stands preeminent among all the generals who have led our armies in the late war. in that he has exhibited the utmost -trength of will of which the highest tvpe if manhood is capable. The defenses of \ ieksburg and the defenses of Richmond wore both deemed impregnable, and were defended with a proportionable confidence and obstinacy: but they both yielded, at 'asf, to Grant's matchless persistence and uneqnaled strategy. And, in both cases, he not only took the long contested posi tion, but compelled the surrender of the whole force defending (hum. Nothing ■•■ old be more clean and complete, even in imagination, thilii Gen. Grant's masterly 'Xt-cuiion. He did nut merely, in each sase, acquire a position which was the key if a wide theater of operations; he did not merely boat or disable the opposing force; lie left no fragment of it in existence except prisoners of war subject to his disposal. If any body is so obtuse or so wrong icaded as to see nothing great in Gen. ilrant, bejond his marvelous tenancity of i will, kit that doubter explain, if he can, how j has happened that, since Grant rose to j ligh command, this quality has always ' >een exerted in couspicious energy precisely it the point on which everything in his j vhole sphere of operations hinged. There : ias been no display of great qualities on : mall occasions; no expenditure of herculean ! ffort to accomplish objects not of the first i uagnitude. It is only a very clear-sighted I nd a very comprehensive mind that could i lways thus have laid the whole emphasis 1 if an indomitable soul so precisely on the . mpliatic place. How, if he be not a eoeral of the first order of intellect, as well - of the most heroic determination, does : ! happen that, in assigning great and bril ant parts to his subordinate commanders, I >e has never, when the results of his strategy ' rere fully unfolded, appeared in the picture j xcept as the central figure? However it lay eeern during the progress of one of his reat combined campaigns, it always turns utat last, when it reaches that complete- i ii'ss and finish in which he contrives to j iiive his campaigns end, that we see Arm! landing in the foreground, and that the reaping is always such that the glory of the ther generals, instead of eclipsing his own, : ives it additional luster. It is this sureness ; f'judgement which sees precisely where lies he turning point; which sees precisely what re the objects that justify the utmost treteh of persistence; it is this ability to! ake in the Whole field of view in juft per pcctivc and due subordination of parts, hat is the mark of a superior mind. Gen. ! rant has taken out *of the hands of all i itics the question whether it belongs to him. le has won his greatest triumph over the tost skillful and accomplished General on he other side; over a General who foiled him ing enough to prove his great mastery of ! he art of war: and the completeness of j rho. e defeat is a testimony to Grant's! • nine such as victory over any other Gen ral of that Confederacy, or even an earlier ietory over Lee himself, could not have I iven. Apply to Gen. Grant what test ou will; measure hiln by the magnitude of I he obstacle.- he has surmounted, by the alue of the positions he has gained, by the | jme of the antagonist over whom he has riumplied, by the achievements of his ' uost iliustiious eo workers, by the sureness ! riih which he directs his indomitable energy 0 the vital point which is the key of a vast ie!d of operations, or by that supreme test i if consummate ability, the absolute com- i detenessof his results, and he vindicates his ! 'aim to stand next after Napoleon and \ Wellington, among the great soldiers of this entury, if not on a level with the latter. On the 21-t of May 180®, the very day jen. Grant was. nominated the same paper ; logins to disparage bis merits in the face j if its past opinions as expressed in the ibove artiele and attacks him in the follow- I rg style. From The World, May 21, 1868. * * * It was possible for Grant, after lis failure "to fight it out on one line" in lis advance of 164 upon Richmond, to lav sh the lives of thou-ands of American sol- j Iters and to expend hundreds of thousands if dollars of the nation's treasure upon a )■ w campaign, and so finally wear an! wor y down the strength of the rebellion which ; lad already been mortally wounded by tfeade at. Gettysburg. Such is copperhead patriotism' Such, i opperhcad consistency ! But the successful' jieuerab the gallant soldier, the true patri ■ it cantp tbe hurt by such mendacity. The 1 tnest expression of their sentiments be- t ore being tainted with partisan hatred, i litUruess and falsehood, will be taken bv he people as the true measure of merit, ghile the parti-an abu.-c that follows will be ustly ignored as the ravings of disappoint •d, unscrupulous and despairing party lead irs trying, but in vain, to tarnish the bright loss of the fame of the man whom they vere unable to coutrol and use because of lis sterling integrity and devoted patriotism. THE COPPERHEAD POLICY. A few illustrations will serve to exhibit to he commonest understanding the knavery if the Copperhead doctrine relative to Gov irumeut Bonds:— "A man buys 200 barrels of pork and rives bis note for $5OOO. When it is due le tcnJers the pork instead of the pay on j lie plea that this is the consideration upon j *liich the note wasiisued. 'That would be j ■idiculous; but the plea made in behalf of! rrecnbacks is worse, since they have no iu- j irin-fic value whatever. "A borrower obtains accommodation ■niong his friends by the isue of mercoran- ] bitn checks. Finding that will DO j onger circulate at par he offers to receive 1 them in exchange for his notes bearing inj ' terest. and payable at his Option in not less than five nor more, than twenty years. The .-reditors consent aDd the exchange is effec ted.—After the five years have expired he finds the interest burdensome, and he pro poses to hand back to the holders the origi nal cheeks, and cancel the bonds. And he iostifies himself on the ground that all they paid for the notes was in these memorandum promises, and they ought not to complain if they get back what tbey gave." EQUAL taxation. The national Democratic platform explic itly lays down a general rule for taxation, to take the place of the com plicated system new enforced. "It demands," with all em phasis— "Kqual taxation of every species of prop erty, according to its real value." No exception is made. The great ques tion which has embarrassed all governments and at! political economists for aud which has never before been solved to 'he entire satisfaction of am body, is now settled. The Democratic wisdom gathered in Tammany Hall on the Fourth of July has made the subject simple, and has dis covered a principle which can be universally applied, tvery species of property is to bs tared equally, not upon any fictions ap praisement, but upon its real value. This beautiful law of Democratic finance has lot yet been fully elucidated. The or ators of 1 ammany have not obeyed the or ders of their chief candidate, and vigorously pressed this subject of taxation. It is quite time they were about it; and if they con tiiue to avoid it, tbe Republicans ought to j aucept Mr. Seymour's advice, and make 1 this great Democratic principle plain to j everybody. It is not often that the party i gives us such an explicit and intelligible j declaration of its policy. The "demand" of the Democratic party implies a thorough change in our present s'stetn of taxation. Tbe laws passed by the ' Republican Congress are far from taxing j equally "every species of property, accord- t iig to its real value." The Republican par ty strongly prefer not to do so; and, although there are, doubtless, still many mistakes in these laws which Republicans wish to re move, yet the charges they propose to make are not in the direction of "equal taxation of every species of property." On the con trary, it is certain that every Republican of influence in this matteT would prefer to re- > Gin our present tax laws unchanged, rather j than to carry out the Democratic platform. | Here, then, is a distinct issue between tbe two parties. The Government must raise large amounts of money. Under General Grant thd outlay of the nation can hardly be much less than $20,000,000 a year. Un der Mr. Peyraour, should the Democratic party succeed in regaining power, those who remember Mr. Buchanan's adminis tration will be fure that the outlay will rap idly rise to more than this. The Republic an party propose to obtain the money by adjusting taxation so that it shall burden the people as little as possible. The Demo cratic party propose to do away with all suth adjustment?, and levy "equal taxation up in every species of property, according to its real value." For example, the "real value" of a fancy sulky driven in the Central Dark, and of a fanner's hay wagon iti the country, may be about the same. The Republican party prefers to lay a tax on the former and none ou the latter; believing that the vehicle kept fot the rich man's pleasure ought to pay rather than that kept for the laboring man's necessity. The Democratic party proposes to tax both equally. That beautiful chronometer repeater, with independent second hand and stop, with which races are timed in Jerome Dark, costs ju-t about as much a an average Kansas or Minnesota farm. But the Republican Con gress have levied an enormous duty on the watch, equal to at least a good year's ent ire profits from the farm, and an annual pay ment besides; while they make the farm free. The Democratic party proposes to tax the farm as much as the watcb. The Axminster carpet in a luxurious par lor is worth about as much as a good stone larrn house iu New l'ork or Illinois. Tbe Republican party would maintain tbe law which taxes heavily the rich man's tapestry, aud leaves the working-man's dwelling free. The Democratic party proposes to tax both equally. A cigar of average quality costs the con sumer about as much as a common loaf of bread. A bottle of choice old Madeira wine, such as some leading Democrats of this city give their guests, is worth as much as a barrel of flour. The Republican party in Congress have voted to tax the wine and ci gars very heavily indeed; but have refused to tax the flour and the bread. The Demo cratic party proposes to tax equally "every species of property, according to its real value." If flour be taxed like old Madeira, and bread like cigars, the loaf that is now ten cents cannot be sold for less than twenty five. There are rich men who have incomes of scores and hundreds of thousands of dollars. There Bre poor men who find it difficult, above their house rent, to get one thousand dollars of ready money for their families. The laws for which the Republican party is respon-ihle tax the large incomes five per cent., but do not tax the small ones at all. The Democratic party "demaods"theaboei tion of this distinction: which will take fifty dollars from the one thousand necessary to support many a laborer's family. - y „ ,r 1,. > Kiu a 000.-o to tto to wo can supply scores of further illustrations for himself. Which principle of taxation do voters of the country prefer? That of the Republican party, to tax those kinds of property which will bear it best; or that of the Democratic party, to tax equally "every species of property, according to its real value?" GENERAL GRANT. A DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF HIS "SOIID PUBLIC SERVICES," THE "STEADINESS AND STAUNCHNESS OF HIS PATRIOTISM,' AND THE "UPRIGHTNESS'' OF HIP CHAR ACTER. General Grant's temporary aoceptaoce of (he War Department causes a stir in the KeptiblicaD party, which confuses the cal culations of those Republicans who. five weeks ago, counted securely on his nomina tion a.s their candidate for the Presidency. Those Republican newspapers, therefore, which, like the Times, are trying to identify General Grant with the RepubKomi psrrty, are opposing a strong presumption by the thinnest and feeblest of shadowy inferences. Gen Grant, to be sure, favor* the execution of the Reconstruction acts, but so also does President Johnson. As they do not differ on this point, they probably differ on none which is pertinent to the present posture of affairs. President Johnson would indeed have had no such laws passed as he feels constrained to execute; nor is there any evi dence that Gen. Grant ever favored, or tried to promote their passage. President John son concedes that Congress has practical control of reconstruction by consenting to execute the. faxes it has passed on that sub- • ject; and Gen. Grant finding these laws in force, recognises their authority, without i going behind them to inquire whether they ought to hare been enacted. There is no evidence that the President and Acting Secretary of i\ ar differ on any important i practical question. The fact that the Trib tine and otlier Republican journals object to i Gen. Grant that he has never signified his assent to their principles, deserves notice | and consideration. Of the steadiness and t staunchness of (ji /i. Grant patriotism, ar the uprightness and the solidity of hit char acter, MO man in the country douhu, nor of iftit* to doubt. The most perfect loyalty, ! prothonotary of the court had illegally issued I Wank naturalisation papers;- that voters bad I been made by constables in the absence ol I judge and prothonotary: that seven hundred YOb. II: ICO, f l I had been made in one day, which is at the rate of about two a minute for every minute of the working day—Judge Sharswood re [ luctantly ordered an examination into the ! prothonotary's conduct, and the testimony j fully sustained the allegations. But when ! he gave bjs decision, exonerating the pro ! thonotary—as may have been right—he j admitted the probability of frauds; in fact, j he pronounced fraudulent certain naturali zation blanks that he held in bis hand, and 1 wrote the word "fraudulent" on the back 1 of each of them; but he gave no advice as to the duty of the inspectors of elections, except that he emphatically laid down tbe law that the Prothonotary's seal was prima fiicie evidence that the paper bearing it was to be accepted as genuine. Having de livered this decision, at once, before the Attorney Genera! or anybody else could open bis mouth, the judge declared the J eoutt adjourned sine die. This may he ; susceptible of explanation; but it has a very - bad look, and ought to make every man in Philadelphia overhaul his opinions on the subject of elective judges—the great danger from whom, after all, is that they are tempted to bend to tbe will of the appoint ing power, if that power chooses to bring its will to bear, and thai it is a thousand times more likely to bring its wi'ii to bear if it is a popular majority instead of a .State Governor. SO.MI. Til IMG TO BE CONSIDERED. Wben a Democrat commences whining about oppressive taxation, just ask him I who inaugurated and fought the war which , made those taxes necessary. When they prate of their devotion to the Constitution, ask them who fought Tour years to destroy that instrument and set up tbe bastard Montgomery concern iu ite place. When they talk of their loyalty, ask them who nominated aDd voted for a banished traitor for Governor of Ohio. When they profess to be in favor of a restoration of the Union, ask thetn who has j steadily voted against the re admission of the revolted States. When they claim to be in favor of peace and prosperity, ask them who proposes to oveiturn the reconstructed iState Govern ments and inaugurate another war. When they claim that seymour was loyal during the war, ask them who made it nec essary to withdraw an army from the front to suppress his riots in the rear. Wheu they say that Grant is no statesman, ask them how it is that in all the important positions he has held, he has never made a mistake. When they say he is not a good soldier, ask them how it was that he so thoroughly "cleaned out" Lee, Johnson, and all the other distinguished Democrats. ! iUteccUanemi?, PUEASAJiT HOMES. Parents, strive to make your homes ' pleasant and attractive! If you would have your children grow up pure, healthy aud beautiful, attempt not to destroy their love for beautiful things and for healthy recrea tion. Do not labor with such cold rigid, self denying economy to hoard up money to bestow uponjthem at your death, rather devote a portion of your surplus income to embellishing and beautifying your dwellings, and to furnish your girls and boys with the means of home enjoyment. Introduce into tbe family circle innocent amusements, and above all, yourselves join and assist the young in their recreation? and plans for social diversion. Teach them that most beautiful and soul inspiring accomplishment, music; allow them to romp, laugh and he merry. Many parents will crush with a frown every attempt at hilarity on the part of their children; they will banish all atnu.-c ment and gayety from the family circle, and cause a shade of gloom to settle over rtitir homes. What is the course of the children of such parents? To escape from the op pressive atmosphere of home becomes the governing motive of all their actions. When away from the immediate care of their parents they will secretly go to places which they have- been forbidden to visit, and mingle with children with whom they have been told not to associate; then they will immediately become more hardened, and plunge deeper and deeper into the sea of forbidden pleasures, and resort to false hood to shield themselves from detection, and after they have taken this step their downward course is straight and rapid. They frequent drinking sliojis, smoke and swear, associate with fast young men, soon become 'fast' themselves, and at test cause the hoary heads of their parents to bow in sorrow. Are not such parents in a measure, re- 1 sponsible for the sins of their children ? | The young will have enjoyment and if f hey cannot find it at home they will seek it \ ebewhere, in doubtful places and in doabrfal' company. They are full of vitality and j gayety; they have nngovernable desires for i amusements and social intercourse, and thai desire must be gratified, legitimately it may be, or illegitimately. Attempt to suppress it and yon will ruin your children: direct it in the proper channel, and you will cause them to grow up happy and contented into the best and noblest of men and women. One half of the depraved and abandoned men and women of this country have been | made what they are by their parents. Thro' ignorance and superstition they have been driven from their homes, which to them should be the most attractive places on earth, to seek the streets by the forbid den paths, for that recreation which is es sentia! to their very existence. You who have children to train up think of this! Devote a portion of yoor time and mcney to gratifying their love fbr social amusement. If you do not get rich quite as fast, if you, perchance, do not die a > millionaire, what matters it? Yon will be compensated a hundred fold for the pecu niary loss by the joy and pleasure you will experience by seeing your children grow up noble and virtuous, honored and respeeted by those around them.—Du SWELL. TALK about the enjoyment of wealth, it never was and never will be enjoyment. An abundance of money is a heap of misery.
