Grant convention frotn West \ irgin
nr. has deserted that crew, and goue
over fe> Greeley. Ou the Morning of
th oth the Weat Yirgiuia delegation
mat at the St. Lawrence hotel, Phlla*
dcipbat, at 9 o'clock. When it was
•allod to order ex-Governor F. H. j
Piorpont roae and said that he owed
it to himself and to the country to
tnakwn {Yank statement. Ho had been
oue of tho first to aid in organizing and i
sustaining the republican party ; bo
had devoted his best energies to it iu
•uashiuc and storm, and had braved
' everything to give success to its princi
ples, and would do so still. Ha had
h<M*d< when selected without solicita
tion to come as a delegate to this cou
vention, that there might be still an
oppdVUnitv to save the party by the
nomination of :UQ acceptable presiden
tial candidate —one who would obey
tha lain' and respect the popular will.
But it is now evident that it was hop
ing against hope; that this is not a
meeting ior deliberation as to the in
terests of the republican party or of the i
country, but a meeting to obey the ex
acting demand* of arrogant power.
Neither the admonitions of Cincinnati
nor of Sumner are heeded, and it is re
solved to destroy the organisation to
gratify a mere personal government. I
therefore withdraw from the delega
tion, and give yon this timely notice
to fill my place. 1 shall then be free
to give my earnest support to Horace
Greeley.
Governor Pierpout's speech was bke
a bombshell in the delegation. Not a
word was said in answer, and he with
drew from tbe uieeiiag.
Grant Renominated
Grant's office-holders held their con
vention at Philadelphia, and nomina
ted the present-taker for re-election
with Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts,
for Vice-President. Scarce an inde
pendent republican took part in the
convention—they all were under
Grant's collar— it was a huge bread
and-butter brigade, aud, of cousre, it
was all for Grant, as the independent
ami honest leaders have drawn off from
that crowd.
The democratic candidate, is an
honest and talented statesman, the
friend of the working class aud the ene
my of the rings—such is Chas. R.
Uuckulcw, as the radical paper* ad
mit.
Tbe radical nominee is Hartrauft,
the hangman of an innocent woman,
who had a hand in the Evans embez
zlement, and was nominated by the
Cameron ring of plunderers, hence the
honest portion of the radical press re
turn to eupnort him.
We print Sumner's speech in an
other column. Read it—he tells the
naked truth about Grant, and his ar
raignment ought to coudemu Grant
in the eyes of every republican who
lias a speck of principle and hoDesty
left. Grant never received such a
rasping as Sumner gives him. Read
it, hand it to your neighbor.
The Wayne Citizen, a republican
paper, refuses to support Hartrauft
and the balance of the radical state
tieket, because tbe nominees are cor
rupt men, and are the choice of the
corrupt Cameron ring, which shows
honesty of purpose in that paper, but
ihetf the Citizen goes forGraot, it was
Grant and tke Cameron ring that
nominated Hartrauft. Now.bow does
our ootemporarv reconcile theee posi
tions. ?
The leprous editor of the Watch
man, last weak, impudently repeats
hi- slander about the Oceola company
in which we nailed him two weeks be
fore, as a ba-efulsitier, with Mr. Ling
1 e's letter, we now clinch him with the
deolartion of D. G. Bu-h, another
of the Osceola company,
which wc are authorized to make :
Mr. JJudi pronounce* all the intinua-
tion* of the Watchman against u in the
Onceola mattfer at false. It is very clear
that tho members of that companv
would not side with us if Meek' slan
ders were true — thctf certainly aught
to know best. Our readers now see
how base a liar Meek is. Next
he may reiterate his eilver mining
story, iu which we also nailed and
clinched him as a base falsifier.
The foilowiDgcbargesagaicsthim we
hn*f sustained, and challenge bim
again to a successful denial—aa he
has renewed his slander against us, we
feel justified in refreshing his memory
upon" his basely selling out the demo
crats of Philadelphia on the Building
commission swindle, as proven by the
Age. Hisjputtiug his votes in a di
rection to give the ring $90,000 of the
peoples taxes out of'the treasury, for

Btick-~our record is so clean.
Grant's back down in the treaty
with England and his nomination at
Philadelphia, are recent events which
don't take well with honest Americans.
Forney's Press is still opposed to
Hartranft, ana declares the hangman
cannot carry the state, and that if it is
lost in October it will be last in No

Lite Philadelphia Nomination*.
Nobody iniagtund that the Philadel
phia Convention would nominate any
body but Grant for President. The
officeholders and th. Military King
settled this long ago, and the Conven
tion, as previously arranged, obsequi
ously registered the decree. It did
this unanimously, for, aa one of Grant's
supporters said wbeu informed that
there was a delegate present who was,
opposed to Grant, "W hat business has
ho' her® V lie had no businem there,
of course ; for it was not a meeting for
consultation, but a conclave to record
, a decree.
Tho Convention threw Colfax over
board and nominated Honrv Wilson
for Vice-President. This was done fn
Crt no doubt to spite ilr. Sumner ;
t it will lose Indiana to Graut and
the officeholders in October, nud this
will go a long way toward det'eatiug
Grant hiui!f in November.
The course of tb* Convention ou ibe
Vice-Presidency afford* a powerful ar
gument agaiust giving Grant a second
term. If the Convention was justified
in denyiug Colfax a chance for a sec
ond term, why should it be accorded to
Grant? However, <L> Unit/ Brown
will demolish Wilson in November,
Colfax need not feel so very unhappy
over hi* own discomfiture in June.
By the reuominatiou of Grant the
party endorsee all the corruptions, in
iquities, oppressions, and failures
of his Administration. The party
could have got rid of this crushing
burden by pnaunting a new man. By
taking Graut the have
shouldered a load that will break them
down
Graut is nominated on the idea that
the war still rages. A large majority of
the people think otherwise. Catching
his inspiration from them, Dr. Greeley
responds to the Grant slogan, "Let u'si
have peace ! v
The Wayne Citizen, a republican
paper, 9peaks of the democratic nom
inee for governor, Chas. R. Buckalew,
as follows :
The democracy of Pennsylvania
have selected thelrest meu of the par
ty as standard bearers in tho present
campaign, and they derive a very
reasonable hope of sucess from the
disgust and apathy created among Re
publicans by the Harrisburg ticket.
For the first time since the organiza
tion of the Republican party, its can
dicates are, in personal character, be
low those presented bv its opponents.
If the State must fall Into Democratic
bands, we may hope at least to sea its
affairs administered honestly.
The Pittsburg Dispatch, the Grant
organ of western Pennsylvania, speaks
as follows of Chas. R. Buckalew :
Thanks, gentlemen of Reading, for
placing such au eminently respectable
gentleman at the head of your ticket
as William R. Buckalew. At a time
when the great curse of political con
tests is personal villification and
abuse, we hail with genuine satisfuG
tion the nomination for a high office
of a man against whom naught can be
said personally. And, recognizing it
(as an immense stride forward by the
I Democratic party, we congratulate
those instrumental in bringing it about
We hope—although we must confess
to serious misgivings, that this action
will be taken as a signal by ourfriends
on the other side, especially the Dem
ocratic press, that in the coming cam
paign scurrilous personality shall be
unknown ; that the race for tbe Guber
natorial chair shall be an honorable
and manly contest between gentle
men.
Senator Buckalew has for many
years occupied a prominent position in
the councils of the State and nation,
and although-never to our knowledge
guilty of any official misconduct, or
dishonorable action, be has been uni
formly one of the strictest party men
that ever lived.

The Cenrtal Hartranft Club, of this

out their bauuer on Bread street.
They will ueed some appropriate mot
toes. We suggest the following :
"I paid to John F. Hartranft vari
oui amounts of money from stock spec
ulations with money deposited with
this deponent by the State Treasurer
at the instance of said Hartranft.
"CHARLES T. YERKEU, "
Broker.
"I paid John F. Hartranft the sum
of two thousand seven hundred dollars,
which sum was derived from profits on
purchases of loans of the Common
wealth, and sale of the same to the

the twenty-nintv of April, lb7o.
"CHARLES T. YKHKSX,

"I borrowed seveu thousand dollars
of G. O. Evans, and did not pay it
back until the matter of the defalca
tion was notorious.
"JOHN F. HARTRANFT"

Mr. Sumner then proceeded to the de

connection with it. A* a pariv It wa*

the ai-ceiiding plane, but, alas I how

on iu victorious banner* ami not a name

Ihe di*lr*'U chnngf-, exalting the will
of one man above all el, became manl
iest. Already it had begun to show Itself
in personal prvlcnion* I \N ken the Pros!
dent wa* elected by thc.K< publltali pally,
he precipitated upon the n untry an lll
coiiaidctwl an ill-ouieiuwl scheme for the an
novation of San !>< miitgo, in pur
suance of a treaty lu-goiiaU one < f his
own household. It was pressed for luenth#
lv every means and appliance of power,
ai.d reluctant Sci ator* wete seduced to it*
support. While treading under foot the
I Constitution iu one of the moat distinctive
1 Republican principles, the President seiz
ed the war powe'S of (he nation, instituted
foreign intervention, and capped the cli
max of usurpation by a menauce of vio
lence to the blink rc| üblic of llayti, thus
sdding the• manifest outtage of inttrua
tioual law u> the manifest outrage of the
I Constitution.
Mr. Suuiucr .would h -!uilly leave (bit

were it not to (tut in isiue attain by extra
ordinary effort* radtuliiiK In every line of
office to place its author for a secord term
in the Presidency
Sine* silence giro* consent, all these ef

not J worthy when it is considered thut the
a a iii o of U' candidate thus pres-wd has bo
come a sign of discord &m) not caucord,
dividing hwuad of uniting the Republican
party, so that these extraordinary efforts
tend directly to the disruption 'of the (tar
ty, all of which he \v itnesse* and again by
hit silence ratifies. "Let the party speak,"
say* the President, ' I will not renounce
my chance of a aecoud UI,J." The extent
ofthi* personal pressure and subordina
tion of party to ILo will of the individual
compel* u* to consider his pietension*.
These, too, are in issue,
"On what meat does this our Cesser
feed, that be should assume *o much."
No honor for victory in the woiid cap jus
tify disobedience to law, nor can it afford
the least apology for any personal immu
nity, privilege or license in the Presiden
tial office A President must turn, into a
King before it can be **.aof;iru that be
can do no wrong. Mo i* reponsible al

of the law he is bound to obey iu slightml

owes not only sit.' .trample of willing
obedience, but also of fidelity and indus

! nothing for self, but all tor country. And
now as we regard the career of thi cau-
I didate, we find to our ■ ,n j how lit
| tie it accerds with this simple requirement
| Bring it te the touch stone and it falls.
No? only are Constitution and law disre
garded. bus the Presidential office itself is
treated as little more (Lac a plaything, and
perquisite ; when not the former, tbea act
the latter. Here the details are ample
showing ho* from the beginning this ex
alted trust had dropped 'j> be a personal
indulgence, when |W*e cars, fast horse*
and seaside loitering* figure more than du
ties, how persona! alms and objects have
been more prominent than public inter
ests , how the Presidential office ha* lean
used to advance his own family on a scale
of nepotism dwarfing everything of the
kind in our history and hardly
in tke government where the abuse has
most prevailed , Ihow in the same spirit
office ha* been conferrcdjupon those whom
he had received gifts of benefits, thus
making the country repay hi* personal
obligations: how personal devotion to him
self, rather than to public or party service
has been made rather than to public stand
ard of favor; bow the vast appointing
power, conferred by the Constitution for
the genera! welfare has been employed
at his will to promote his schemes, te re
ward his friend*, to punish his opponent*,
ami to advance hit election to a second
term ; bow ail tbase assumption* have tun

, personaiism, abhorant to republican insti
; unions, when subservience to tho Pret
j dent is the supreme law ; bow in maia- j
I taining this subservience be bat operated

orbit- about him, so that like tho planet
Saturn, he is surrounded by rings,—nor
doe* the similitude end here, for his rings,
| like the planet's are ! held in position by
satellites—haw this utterly unrepubiican
Caesarism has mastered the Republican
party and dictated the Presidential will,
"talking into the Senate chamber itself,
while a vindictivejspirit visits good Repub
licans, who cannot submit; hew the Presi
dent himself unconscious that the Presi
dent has no right to quarrel with any per
son, insists upon quarreling until bo has
become the greet Presidential quarraler,
with more quairel* than all otuer Presi
dents together, and all begun and contin
ued by himself; his personal followers
back him in quarrels, insult those he in
sults, and then not departing from his
spirit cry out with Shakspeare :
"We will have rings and things and fine
array."
AD J, finally, bow the choten head of lb*
Republic i known chiefly for Praaidential
pretentions, utterly indefensible In char
acter, derogatory to the country and full
evil influence, making neraonal object! a
primary pursuit, to that instead of a bane- 1

On that other question, Have w a part;
iu the Sonate of the King's?—Tho end ol
personal government is autocratic, and in
direct conflict with Bepublicau govern
ment. A government of laws and not ol
men is the object of Republican govern
inant. Nay more, it is destructive essanae,
without which it becomes tyranny. There
fore, personal government in nil its forms,
ind especially when it seeks to sway the
action of another branch or overturn its
constitutional prerogative is hostile to the
11 rst principles of Republican institutions
and an unquestionable outrage. That our
President has offended in this way is un
happily too apparent. The President is a
civilian. To compiehend porsonal gov
ernment that has been installed over us,
we must know its author. His picture is
a neccsssaJy frontispiece, not as soldier,
let it be born in mind, but as a civilian.
To apprec iatehiv peculiar character as a
civilian, it is important to know his tri
umphs as a toldier ; for one is a natural
compliment of th.e other. The successful
soldier is rarely changed to the successful
civilian Tb cre ace nit incompatibility ba |

And yet they failed, eicept in war. It ia

tiquity made the same man a soldier nnd

he took no note of public affairs, never
voting but once in his life, and then for
Jarue* Buchanan. After having West
Point he became a captain in the array,
but toon abandoned the service to ap|>ear

There it no reason to believe that he em

way calculated to improve hiui at a slates

By war he passed to be President, and

kind. Something alto mutt be attnbuu-d
to individual character.
Heie 1 express no opinion of my own.
1 tliall allow another to *peak in solemn
word* echoed from the tomb. On reach
ing Washington, at the opening of Con
g res* in December IM/J, 1 was pained to
hear that Hunton, late Secretary of War
was tu (ailing health. Full gratitude for
his unsurpassed terviceTand writh a senti
ment of friendship, quickened by com
mon political sympathies, I lu-t nu|tiuic in
teeing him, and repeated my visit* till hi*
death, toward the close of the same month.
My last visit was marked by a communi
cation never to bo forgotten. As I enter
ied his bed room, where I found him re
clining '?n the tofa propped by pillows, he
reached eut his band, alru-dy vntiny
cold, aud in reply to my enquiry, "How
are you ?" he auswered, " Waiting for my
ftxrlough." Then at once with singular
solemnity be >aid : "I have something to
<ay to you.
When 1 v*i Seated he proewu4 with
out one word of introduction : "I kn .a
Gen flrant beUer than any other |w*r*on

duty u> know him when I *aw him und

F.RS TIIIS COUNTRY." The intensity
of hu manner auJ puslivcnc-s of hi* judg
ment turprUed me; for though I wa
aware that the late Secretary of W*r did
not place the Frcsidc-nt very high in gen
eral capacity, I wa* pot prepared for a
, judgment so strongly couched.
At latt after some drlsy occupied in
meditating on bis remarkable statement,
obterrod "what you *iv i* very broad."
"It is aa true as it is broad," ho rep'ied
! promptly.
I added "Yoaarp tardy. Why did you
wait till thi* time ' Why did you not my
it befere his nomination ? "
lie ar.twered that he was not consulted
. about tho nomination, and bad no oppor
tunity of eaprassiiig hi* opinion upon it.
Besides boing much occupied at the time
with hi* duties a* Secretaiy of War and
his contest with the President.
I followed by saying "but you took part
in the Presidential election aad made a
succession of speeches for hiui in Ohio and
Pennsylvania."
"I spoke," aid he, "but I never intro
duced the name of General Grant. I
•peke for the Republican psity and Ke
publican'causuet.'
Insisting upon there-election of the Pres
ident, challenges inquiry, and puts himself
upon the country. Hut even if hit pros
ure for re-election, did not menace tbe
tranquility of the country, it it Important
that the personal pretension* he ha* et up
should be exposed, thai no President here
lifter venture upon such ways, and no Sen
ator presume to defend them. The case is
clear as noon
In #pening this catalogue, I select two
typical instances of iiepotiiu and gift-tak
ing, officially compensated, each absolute
ly indispensible in tbe head of tho Qepub
lic, the most pernicious in examplo and
showing beyond question that surpassing
egotism, which ehanged the Presidential
office into a personal instrument.
Not unlike the trunk of an Klephant,
equal for all things, small as well as great
—rrom provision for a relative tt> pressing
a treaty on a reluctant Senate, er forcing
! a relation on a reluctant people. Between
these two typical instances I hesitate
which to place foremost. But sinre tbe
neptoism oflhe President isa ruling passion
revealing tbc primary instances of his'na
ture ; since it is maintained by hiin ia ut
ter unconsciousness of its offensive char
acter , since instead of blushing for it, as
an unhappy mistake he continues to up
hold.'il since it has been openly defended by
Senator* on thi* floor, and since no true
patriot, anxious for Republican institution*
can doubt that it ought to be driven with
hisses and score from all probabilty of
repetition, J begin with this undoubted
abuso : Tho number of Grant's Relations
in office.
There has been Do call of Congress fer.a
report of the relations holding office or j
stipend or money making opportunity un
der the President. It is evident that any
resolution calling for it moved by a Sena
tor known, to be for his reelection, would
meet with opposition, and an effort to vin
dicate Republican institutions would be
denouaced as an assault on tbe President.
But tlic newspapers have placed enough
beyond question for a judgment on this
extraordinary case. Although thus far
there has been attempt to appreciate it in
the light ofhistory, our list makes tbe nura
bor of beneficiaries as many as forty-two.
It will not be questioned that there is al
least a baker's doxrn in the category, thir
teen relatives of the President billeted on
the country, notone of whom, but for this
relationship, would have been brought for
ward, the whole constituting a case of
nepotism not unworthy of tho worse gov
ernments whose office is a family posses
sion, Beyond the list of thirteen are oth
er relations showing that this strange
abuse did not stop with tho President's
relatives, but these relations obtained ap
pointments for others in the circle, so that
every relation became the center of influ-
I once, while the President's family extends
indefinitely.
Mr. Sumner here quoted from American
authoiities on Nepotism, and that but one
President, Adams, had ever* appointed
relatives to offics, and that the public sen
timent condemned these appointments.

Government Xnr does the case of the
first Secretary of Stale appointed as a com

portaM *upport, gave him a complimenta
ry nomination with the under*landing that
after confirmation he thould forthwith re
sign I cann.t forgi-l the indignant com

(*a*ed out of the Senator chamber iuamc
ditatcly after tho confirmation, who laid,
whoever nt-ard before of a man nominated
Secretary of State merely a* a compli
ment?' But thi* S* merely another n-e
of the public service übordinat<d to per
sonal considerations. Xot only in the Cab
inet but in other offices, there is reason to
I believe that the President ha- been ut.dcr
[he influence of patron*. Why was be so
I blind a* to Thomas Murphy.
Ths Custom iiouie of New Vork, with
all it* capacity a< a political engine, wa>
handed over to thi* age nt whose want of

cer.
I have n<w completed the survey of the
two typical instance* of ticpotunt and gift
taking, officially roui|i*.,atcd, in which wc
are Compelled to *c the President. In
these things he shows him-clf that t)i*.-i i .
no IV.riinii drawn by a critic r an ene
my. It i> tho original, who stand* forth
aying:
"Behold tho generoity I practice t-
ards my relations at the expense of Uo
public service! Also the gifts I lake
And then my way of rewarding patron*
nluuys tlo expenso of the public *cr
vice I"
In this open Ctliibii on we cc how thc
Pretidoncy, instead of a trust ha* bo mc
a perquisite. A President that can do such
thing* an J not rccogpixo at once the error
lie ha* committed *howi that iu|icr-ttai
nenco of egotism under which the consti
tution, intornational law and municipal
law, to ay nothing of republican govern
ment in it* primary principle*, are all sub
ordinated to the Presidential will; and
this i* pcronal government. Add an in
sensibility to the lionest conviction* of
other* and you have a characteristic inci
dent of thi* pretension.
Lawyer* cite what aro enlkJ leading
cases. A few of these show the Presiden
tial will in constant operation with little re
gard to precedent or reason, so a* to be a
caprice. Jf it wero not pretension that im
itated the Pope* li. nepotism, the President
has imitated theiu in otntaUou* assump
tion of infallibility.
Other Presidents have cuUrcd upon
•fflco with certain modesty and .li: trust,
but our *oldicr, absolutely untried in civil
life, eulircly a new man, entering upon
the *ubiimc*t duties before which Wash
ington and Jefferson had shrunk, said in
his inaugural: "The responsibilities of tin
position I Icel, but accept them without
fear."
GRANT'S FIRST CABINET,
The noxt step after the inaugural address
was ths selection of a Cabinet, and in his
•election the general disappointment was
only equalled by tho general wonder. All
tradition, usage and propriety were discar
ded. The just expectations ol tho party
that had elected him were set at naught,
and the safe guards of constitutional gov
ernment wero subordinated to personal
pretensions of one man. Marked among
the spectacles which followed, and kindred
in character with the appropriation of the
cabinet as individual property, was appro
priation of the offices of the country.
Mr. Humner here repeated the charges
of nepotism, appointing relations to office,
Jre., and crticised in severe terms the con
duct of the President in sending a mes
sage to Congress on Marph Oth, IHGfI, ask
ing them to set asido tho fundamental lav
in order that A. T. Stewart might enter
upon the duties ol Secretary of the Treas
ury, he (Stewart) being one of those from
whom the President had received gifts.
THK MIMTART KINO.
He next spoke of the military ring at the
Whit* House and said that the Executive
Mansion had assumed the character of a
military headquarter*. To the dishanor of
tbe civil sarvicu and the total disregard of
precedeat, the President bad surrounded
himself with officers of the army and sub
stituted military forms for thw-s of civil
life, detailing for this service members of
his late staff aitheugh Congress has shown
a purpose to limit tbe employment of mili
tary officers ia civil service by three dif
ferent statues.
Mr. Humner condemned the President
for taking away from their proper duties,
officers of the army to make them Presi
dential secretaries in defiance of law, the
subordination of the War Department to
General in Chief, the attempt to devolve
tbe duties of the Navy Department, upon
a deputy, so that order* wore to be signed,
A. K. Boric, Secretary of tho Navy, per
D. D. Porter, Admiral; tho effort to ah.
sorb the Indian Bureau into the War De
partment, military interference at the elec
tions, the effort to secure the repeal of the
Tenure of-Office act,"which limited {jie
President's power of appointment, und
Presidential interference with political
questions and party movements in a dis
tant State, from Loitisana to New York.
