THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 4 23, 1664
GOING AFTER GRANT
Mr. I,vscor.N, shortly after his nomi
nation by his packed Convention of of
fice holders, at Baltimore, made it con
venient to attend the Sanitary Fair in
Philadelphia, in order to give that as
semblage a touch of his buncombe.
Upon that occasion, remarking of the
war, he spoke as follows:
We accepted it for an object, and when Mat at ,
ect is accomplished the war will end; and I hope to
God it will never end until that object is accian
plished. [Great applause.] W e are going through
with our task, an far as 1 am concerned, lf
tt
takes us three years longer.
1 have not been In the habit of making pre
dictions,but I am almost tempted now to hazard
one: I will. It is that GRANT is this et enin
in a pusition, with MEADE and Ilasims•K of
Pennsylvania, whence hr can never be tnon!e
ed by the enemy until Richmond id taboo. It I
shall discover that General G Hot. may he la
eilltated in the capture ol Richmond by rapidly
pouring to him a large number of armed men a!
the briefest notice, will you gal [cries iit
"Yes") Will you march on with himi
of "Yes, yes:'j Then 1 shall call upon you
when it is necessary.
Without stopping to discuss the naked
"object," which the President and his
party have in view, in continuing the
present unparalleled slaughter, (which
is avowedly negro emancipation) let us,
briefly, direct the reader's attention to
the President's trilling with the lacer
ated and bleeding millions, who are
now mourners, because of the„.blunder
ing in the conduct of the war—a Hun
tiering which he promises to continue
three years longer, provided the people
are so infatuated as to re-elect him.
If Mr, LINCOLN were at home in semi
neighboring grocery, in Springfield, he
might be excused for levity in his allu
sions to our present trouble. Bu; he
ought by this time, to know that he is
supposed to he the embodiment of the
dignity of over twenty millions of
intelli
gent people. He should, also, remember
that we look to him for information, re
garding the progress of hostilities, pos
sessed by no one else; and when he does
speak we do not expect to hear the twad
dle of one of his spoony editors. t hr
the occasion in Philadelphia, referred to,
after some hesitation, be informed his
hearers that GRANT and his army were
in a position from which he could not
be dislodged "until Richmond
taken. — Since this positive predicu l f
GRANT 11!1.; changed hi-a position to ice,
and Gen. llAscoca has been relieved of
his command; and the telegraph, ye=l(-r
-day, announced that for -rime ~.t ;,r or
other, M. LINOOT.N was, himself,
way to the front to see General t ILAN r
So much for "lione , t ABE pr,ln -
thous. He appears to know nothin.2 and
care nothing about the Condition 0l n o
army; he has made up his mind to drab
men as long as they are needed to secure
the "ol,ict" which he speaks about,
and then his inter and anxiLty et .1-(
This t•xt nriw in lift rev rt•, ui, n tio
part of Mr. LINCoI N is iu kccpin.g
with the shallow mockery of his a-king
the loyal leaguers by whom he was ‹ur
rounded,if they would go to help lin
if called on The President Inc.a in
deed keep the country plunged in bio. d
for three years more; and that n
ble; he may depopulate the North of
young men to make "food for powdei
for 01:ANT, who is not :it all backward in
marching them into the jaws of death;
but it is out of the question for him to
raise ten men either by bounties or con
scription among the loyal leaguers ,if the
United States. He may silence a "full
mouthed battery with snow balls,
pair back the northern blast with his
repelling brPath," but he Can, by no de.
vire or inducement, securo for thy• srr
vice a single genuine, noh:y and very
loyal leaguer. No one knows this bet
ter than Mr. LINCOLN hini,vlr; an•l, ytt
he Wll5 not ashamed, in the open,
mon ear of the people of Philadelphia, to
mock patriotism try asking loyal lea
guers if, under any circumstances, t 7,, ,y
would go to the war. Their response
of yes, was but an additional manifesta
tion of A.holit?.in effrontery. No! their
business is to make money and inyal
professions and not to put their precious
bodies under the command of GRANT.
But what has taken his Excellency
to the front? Does he wish to be present
when LEE surrenders the rebel capital,
in order that he nosy have an opportu
nity to make a speech for earn paign pur
poses; or is he actuated by mere curio:_
ity to see heaps of dying and dead enun.
trymen a< he was after the battle of An
tietam. when, after looking upon tto•
distorted features of the Allant slain he
'c'alled upon MARSHAL LAMON io r . tvivc
him by a few verses from the t,mr Mug
negro melody of Lucy Neal'
BUMBLE ORIGIN
The most disgusting 'partizan exhibi
tion just now, is to see the snoly3 and
squirts of the Abo:ition press, endeavor
