line, and were in South Nebraska, when
one afternoon I went out of Camp to w) to
the cabin or an old friend of time, a Mrs.
Waltman. I took only one of my revolvers
with we, for although the war had broken
out I didn't think it necessary to carry
both my pistols and in full or'nary scrim
mages, one is better than a dozen, if you
shoot straight. I :aw some wild turkeys on
the road as I was going down, and popped

"It's M'Kandlas and his gang. There's
ten of them, and you've no chance.—

which I had followed this strange story, all

to live over again the bloody events of that

We notice that a letter is being protunl
gated through the loynt press, conveying
the present impressionsof the arch-agitator,
Wendell Phillips, upon the political situa
tion—together with his recommendations as
to the proper measures to be taken 10 his
adherents. As our readers are not much in
the habit of looking in that quarter for
counsel and advice, we shall not trouble
thane with this letter in ester:so—anti we
only allude to it because we wish to make
some remarks upon a theme which we con
sider worthy of serious consideration at all
times but especially now, when. in the stir
ring language of Hum D. J. Walker "the
very limndations of the government are
rocking on their base," and it may be that
it is to become a "mere mass of broken
c damns and mouldering ruins,"
Wendell Phillips takes occasion to enter
his protest against the redoubtable Grant as
a candidate for the Presidency. We don't
often airier with Mr. , but in this
eme MT most heartily coincide with him
m i d curiously enough, for the very stone
reason. Phiiiips has no confdletim in ()rant.
N. itliar have we. We never had. Fie i 4

by, the lb , publiettn party, because, say they,
if we don't nominate him the Democrats
will." "Here is a pretty spectacle." quoth
"Pepuilimrs urging the nom:-
nation of a man who is such a swiss that he
will •nit either party in..lifTerent!y."
We d m't pretend to give the exact
language of Cdr. Phillips, as we have talk
; lt.id the plq,er C - ntrlining his letter. But
, the sena., is as we hare above recited—and
the epithet ,Swiss 14 certainly Phillips' own.
Now, we agree with Mr. Phillips in this—
that, while we do nut know exactly how rar
Gen. Grant may possess the requisite char

tree +'r I. ..• ;;*.ii•tie about bite to render
him wolva la to the great mass of the
Democratic party. We have had to resent,
and too severe an experience on this rub.
jeet, to WI soon again, and suddenly, int, a
x similar error. We have always had very
decided opinions against military chieftains
as Presidential nominees or incumbents—
and, as we turn our eyes toward, our afflict
ed rioter states of the t. 4 eettll, and be
=hold, at this moment the .;p; mtede there
afforded us, of what the Late Bev, Sydney
Smith used to call the - -quart men in the
; round holes - -men pared in positions for
which God and nature had equally denied
them the preper qualifications—military
men, whose education and habitiof thought
and action totally unfit them for the rune
;
tions of the statesman, sent into the South
to take out of the hands of an unwilling
pe , pl, the control of their own civil and
don, .stir affairs—we feel, more strongly
than ever the soundness of our views on
this p-int. and shall never cease to lift un
oar voice in earnest protest against the pul
i,;;; that will surely ruin any party—and
spiel; la our humble judgment did more
to detnoraliz emaeeulate, and finally to
bopeitAy merthrow the old Whig tarty,
that, any other one thing. The nomination
; of that pompous old humbug, Gen. Scott,
; sealed the ruin of that once formidable or

' and scattered to the four winds at the elec.

Now, we do not wish, to he lob t.tken---
nnr to be supposed L include all military
men hi one general condemnatirch We
could not be so unjoNt. We hay , . many
n o /de and true soldier:: in our ranks, of all
grades, and better, braver and nifire eonsis
tentand steady Dements do not cx --men
who have mare: lame sacrifices of prot.es
sional advancement to their sincerity and
fidelity to political principle. These bravo
men will, on reflection, concur with es, we
doubt not, nn the general policy of military
nonlination3. But we have peculiar distrust
of this moan Grant. Wu watched his course,
with considerable interest last. fall, when he
vitas "swinging ar.sund the cirele . ' with
Prcebh nt Johnson and suite. A great deal
of unnecessary fuss wa; made over him, we
thought, and too much trouble to asmrtain
hit precise opinion of the "question of the
hoar" taken by all rattier, considering the
exact value of the article when obtaiael.
Om day he thought this, nest day he thought
that, and one could have supposed that the
illimitable universe hung with speechless
and rapt excitement upon the lips of Gen.
Grant for the magic, sentences of his lime
This was all very foolish, of course,
especially as he lrol, at the outset, declared
that he would not meddle with politics. Ile
was a soldier, who "accompanied the Presi
dent in obedience to the command of his
superior officer." This was a very propel
position for him to take; if he had adhered
to it no one could have complained. We
h uld not, most certainly. But the wideness
of his duplicity, his epquetry with the Radi
cals, and his betrayal of his tacit under
standing with the President, were numerous
threnchoet the journey. He finally left tho
l'reaicetul.4l party, to
. pursue his journey
alone, and one fine morning, shortly before
our own Slate election, we were greeted by
dispatch from the impressible Grant, aim
ed at our gallant standard-beerer, Hiester
Clymer. A more outrageous, uncalled-for,
and ebu , ive despatch we never saw in our
whole experience of partisan malignity.
This filthy production was bedaubed all over
the fences and dead-walls of Philadelphia
and other large cities and towns of our state
as seen as possible, and there remained us'
til after the election as the "Opinion of GUM
Grant." We could multiply examples of
the impertinent interference of this "great
military chieftain" in WM Writ outside of his
province, but our apace forbids. We have
said enough to shots that he is hardly the
MO for the Denovracy of our Mate or
county, to whom alone we use supposed to
addrer.sing ourselves—and to repel the as.
sumption of Wendell Phillips, that there is
any danger of the nomination by our grand
uld party. of ~101 an indifferent speeim t n of
the "soldier and gentleman."
We sincerely believe that the Denerratie
party will sten I firmly by its cherished prin.
and criminate as its (adiaste for the
