We reply a STOVES AND national unity, and that of local autonomy. The Republican party places the first of these elements on the foreground the Democratic the latter. The conflict of interests between North and South which led to the agitation of the slavery question caused the Democratic party so one-sidedly to urge the principle of local autonomy, that in the south, where the question was most of vital importance, the union, as a matter of fact, became disrupted, and in the north danger arose of disintegration.

To belittle him, it has been said that other generals were as capable as he, and that all what charac-1 terized him was stubborn perseverance. Suppose -this be so, it only proves that, such perseverance being then the one thing needed in a commander, for the rest well qualfied, in order to bring the war to a successful close, and Mr. Grant possessing such perseverance, he was the man for the occasion, No doubt, in the time of Columbus there were other mariners equally competent' to accomplish the made by Columbus, and auy of Wth iiiavJnoj-o, if ho had done SO) would have discovered America. But Columbus had what no one else then possessed faith in the possibility pf reaching the Indies by steering westward, an iron will, and untiring patience. Mr.

Grant's civil administration has not been a success, as he himself touch-ingly acknowledged ir his last mes-sage. The inherent defect of that administration was a low moral tone. For hat low moral tone we as a nation are responsible, not any political party (for both Republicans and Democrats desired him as their candidate), nor the man himself. The period of wild speculation, subsequent on the train and stirring excitement of the war, had deteriorated our national character. The social and political atmosphere was tainted.

All there can be said against Mr. Grant is that he did not stand on a sufficiently high moral standpoint for being a reformer. He took men and things as he found them. The strength of Mr. Hayes resides in" his being a man of higher moral tone.

As a matter of fact public conscience has since some time demanded a better civil service, a sounder financial policy, and harmonizing of the different sections of the Union. Both parties merely declared themselves in sympathy with this feeliug; aud, after the conventions were held and the candidates placed in the field, the question before the people was whom they should by preference entrust with the work both offered to undertake.
