It Washburne, the red-hot Mongrel member of Congress from Illinois, who sleeps with Grant, or at least has made Grant's house his home while in Washing ton during the recess of Congress, says, in a public speech :—Tho,liepernl was al ways a 'Whig, so far as •he was a politician at all, and never btlonged to, or had any sympathy with the so-called Democratic party." As Ihe'Deteneratio party has had scolbricogs and 'rencatidee enough without Grant, we tirelappy to hear that be always abjured Deniocracy,• Apes at the present time. Washburn, • furthermore. says:—"He believes thereis. no protection or safety to the•colored people or the ioyal thitee in the 'rebel States except • through impartial suffrage." 'flint is entirely antis factory, beeauee if etch were Grunt's semi metes, he wield le a more contemptible r than Ben. Butler to encourage the administration of the horrid neon itruction acts with such unnecessary cruelty. These acts are inhuman enough in theitimlvea, but as Grant sees them eilininistered, they are entirely devilish.' ; If •he ever was a Demo crat, he must itirei:fellen farther from grace into the slough of utter tweet:my than Ben. Butler, Stanton or Joe Holt, whose sins are certainly not to be fin-given in this world, whatever they luny be in the world to come. Those few Democrats who have bean in favor of Grant Ihr the Presideney now look unutterably foolish, but are making ecarce ly less fatal mistake in trying to slide off on to Sherman. \V have heard betbre that the "hair of the Seine dog" would cure certain wounds, but it is a des.peiate char- latan remedy. Sherman's late speech shows that he holds* not It single principle earnestly in harmony with Democracy, awl if he did. be is not fit for President. If ever we need. ed a statesinati in that place it is now. If ever the times called loudly for the greatest and most experienced civilian, it is now. Sherman's capacity as a statesman ie seen in the following extract front hislate speech : "When a conclusjon is once arrived at by slue course of law, the subject is 'no lon ; yrr on Or* elltelljoit ill.trirrxt:m, but should be submitted to, ;imply localise it is the law of the land." That doctrine limed bind us all t r aceniesee in the horrific miff tary bills of Conprefis, for they are "no lung er open to disFuseion," according to Sher infin•snntions. Whet a pily that a ci.ver soldier should make an ass of himself by atteniptisig toialtellife with mattem in which he has neither sandy nor experience! Grant does Letter by persi t temly flisig his tnriaii.:, to keep nom expo tug his ignotunte. Ile is like I.st tensible tliitf in the cellar. who gave as a rea"on fi e * not speaking, that he 'lied nothing to say.'.' Sherman. how ever, has spoken once, and just ndee too often. His speech has finished him as a Presidential aspirant. The Next President. At an inktual meeting of the Democratic members of the Senate and H. We, the of her evening, at Washington the names o Gen.

TAU BLACK ART IN Pourtca. —By the disfranchisement of three-fourths of the men of the South, and the eurraneldsen en of the emancipated slaves, the Radicals hope to elect tho next Pre.ident. They fear the loss of the Middle Sturm, most of the Western States, the l'aeitle State., the "Bonier State'," and a good portion of New England. Hence their black Iteeenstrue tion scheme . Southern Stares mild nut he controlled in their interest, though the black rote, they affected to regard them nut of the travel.

It was R. child of sin, its daddy being a thief and its mother a dissent bler.— During its short hut eventful history it cor rupted the people of the whole country and left desolation, misery and dobaachery in is train, For a time the people insulted in fitiiated with the gay festivities furnished by this new candidate for public favor, and like the poor innocent bird that is sometimes charmed by the brilliapcy displayed by the wily serpent seeking its prey, they became intoxicated with the extravagance, splqpilor show and demoralization so freely indulged in by this negro bantling, and were almost ruined before they discovered that they had been nursing a viper. Then it was that they rose in the majesty of their power, and hurled the accursed thing to the ground. Thank fortune, the Republican negro party is now among the things that were. Its late adherents may attempt to galvanize it into life, by handing its mutilated body to the semi barbarian negrecs of the South, with instructions to nurse it carefully and to gorge it, with government pap. but all will not do, fbr the death-rattle is in its throat, and it may be txmaidered dead. —Exehas ge. IT WON'T TAKE.—The radical editors, presuming that ()rant will bo their next can didate for President, are taking time by the fiwelock in their endeavor to manufacture a little capital for him. They are all engaged in mottling around a eereotyped saying that "Want it a tariff man. This won't take, We predict, as that party ha co often de. ceived the People on the tariff question that all faith in their sincerity has been lost.— Bosidos, the mass of the people are opposed t t a high prohibitory tariff by means of which the manufacturers are enabled to rob the consumers. It is the interest of every poor no:on and every farmer to have a moder ate tariff on importations. Since the Radi ce's have keeps in power the people have been taxed so enormously that we should think' they would want no more tariffs—only. another name for use-. flrant may be a tariff man, but to hat does that amount to? The Donne:rats also are tariff men, a nd always have been, but they want a rea.:on abl, tariff, and not one to rob the floor and enrich the wealthy at their es pense. &llus ) Jto num TESTIMONIAL BANQUET TO IION.
