(re quiring an outlay of many millions of dollars.) at a time when business 1 was at a low state, when tnere was a de pression in prices, . and no actn ity in our industries, than would be the case in times of prosperity, large 1 revenues ani continued increase in the resources of tie nation. - j Mr. Sherman haTal ways been favora ble' to a fair and just equalization of bounties, and. the : only ? doubt;, he has entertained has been as to the ability of the government to meet the payments without jeopardizing the public credit. As intimated, it is thought he would iaver such an act ia prosperous times. ;lhe military record of Mr. Sherman is 'not generally, known. " : The - extra session of the Senate, of which he was a member at that time was called July 4, 1861, and after its adjournment; Mr. Sherman went to Ohio aud raised 2.400 troops.- President Lincoln and Secreu tary Chase both advised him not to go into the field, as they needed his ser vices in the Senate and in this request the .Legislature of Uhn joined. - in a family view there, was no reason why he should go into the field, as four of his brothers were already u serving in the army. The preposed repeal of the Missouri Compromise first awaked his Republi can sentiments, aad he became at nee au outspoken opponent to the exteu sion of slavery. Being elected .to the House of llepresehtatives he. became a leader in the Republican party. As the civil war.was dawning, he wa3 bold and Uncompromising, battling against the disunion sentiment manfully and courageously, and during the entire war he was ever a safe counsellor: in all measures for the suppression of the rebellion, and from that period to this ho has never wavered in his Republican principles, doing all in his power to improve the condition of the freedraen and to protect them in their civil and political rights. There is cothing in J ohu Sherman's record that can be assailed. Hisageney in bringing about specie payment, an event which caused the revival of trade, giving employ ment to idle thousands, has become a matter of history and he justly ranks as a public benefactor. ' 0 i LlSTTEB FROM ONSLOW, Me. Edit6e : The project of nomi nating General Grant lor a tnird term for President is full of menace to the perpetuity of Republican government. It has been by such insidious methods that free institutions have ever, been destroyed and an autocracy erected upon their ruins. ..U Did! it not seem that the people of France had in 1793 given hostages for the 'security of their Re public? i They had executed their king; they had carried his (royal widow, a daughter of the imperial house . of Hapsburg tcj the guillotine, and placed her neck under its axe j with every mark of insult and degradation. They mere nobly chased from their country's oil the armies of the confederkted kings who sought to restore the dethroned Bourbons, and carried their victorious, arms across the Alps the Rhine and into Holland. Republics sprang up wherever their soldiers marched, and it seemed that the dawn of the deliver ahco of the human race was breaking. Yet this people who had exhibited such htroism in extreme fortune, iu the de fense andjfor the propagation of civil liberty, yielded their necks in ten short years to the military yoke of Napoleon, and forgot in the blazejof his glory, their servitude. There was no brilliancy in the crimes of Louis Napoleon, who however was able to annihilate the Re public of 1848, and reigned over France for twenty years as Emperor. If the uncontradicted lessons which history has multiplied for the instru tion of the lovers of free government POLITICAL The Republican convention of Ver mont to select delegates to the Nation al Convention, was strongly against the Third Term, aud elected delegates who will vote for Senator Edmundsi ! Gram's opponents turn up' j every where. The Germans of Syracuse have rekolved that if the Republican5 leaders insist upon "forcing this unnecessary question f a third term Upon the Re publican voters oi this and other states they will endanger Republican success at the ballot-box in November.'' The forced votes for Grant ia the Pennsylvania and New -York Stsite Re ppblican cojnventions were so eak that they were practically defeats. I f , The Democratic National' cmmittee have called a National Convention to meet in Cincinnati ohr the .22 d day of June next, to nominate a candidate for President.

He expressed a doubt as to whether the resumption fund could be classed as money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and he" wan clear at that itsne 'that it was the oniv fund sufficient for. the payment of the arrears not covered by . current expen se3. The act authorizing lhe payment of the arrears of pensions was approve ed January 25, 1879, and it was estima ted at that time that arrears had ac crued amounting to $34,000,000, and! that it would require $41,500,000 to meet the provisions of the bill It was manifest at that time that the current revenue was. totally inadequate to meet this large demand, and the surplu3 revenuo for the succeeding fiscal year was , estimated at a little more than $28,000,000, and it was thought that the passage of the tobacco bill would reduce the current revenues" so as to cause a deficit ol $18,000,000 in the es timates submitted at that session, and therefore, it was, that Secretary Sher man recommended that he be authori zed to borrow s sufficient amount to pay the pensions and thus avoid throw ing any obstacle in the way to resump tion. In a letter to the chairman of Thurmari. It seems that at the meeting of the Democratic, National. Committee at Willard's the other, night there was a drunken row. Rum flowed copiously. and a fellow named Hill, a Congress man from Ohio, cried oui, "The Dmo crats wiil noHunnte their candidate, and we will inaugurate him whether he isj elected or not." 'There was, perhaps, a little truth let out in thU maudlin. j The Republicans of New Hampshire will hold a State Convention1 at Con cord on the Gth of May next. Tho Republican Banner, of. Hastinrs Michigan, speaking of the democrats oeiog scared at the idea of thej nomina tion of Grant, says : 3 1- v I "The exact reverse of that is true here.

He is r.egarided by this clas3 as our most eminent fellow citizsn; as Uie type and exemplar of what our institutions and civilization prcducej in their highest development.

I propose to 5u I uie evidence of the of General Grant's two administrations; It may be true that the foreign relations of the United States "were weil managed during his terms of .office ifi ;the Washington ! treaty aud the Geneva arbitration were the fruits of Secretary Fish's policy, it must not -be forgotten that the scheme to stifle the free Republic of San Do mingo, and annex it to the tsrritory of the United States was the darling pro ject ot the President. The dealings with Spain at a dedicate crisis, was in opposition to the; opinions ot a large majority of the people of the country; and there is a strong suspicion that the records of the Slate Department will disclose that his administration receded from the policy. of the United States, as enunciated by Munroe, and always maintained by his successors, in regard to an iutcr-oceanib; canal across the isthmus of Panama. Should this sur mise become a certainty it ought to foreTer blast the politicalprospects of all concerned in it. General Grant alienated .almost every real statesman of the party which elected him.; A conspicuous example is that of Senator Sdmner. Because?! nounced the San the Senator de- Domingo job, and warned the country of the ''dance of death" to which the administration was qonducting it, he was discountenanced by the President, arid the great man's followers; displacedjjfroru the chairman ship of the Senate, Committee on foreign relations-; snubbed and insulted by men who were not worthy to untio his shoes. and under fhe frawu of the chief per- bonage of the country passed away, leaving a career written in the hearts of the lovers of liberty everywhere and through ail time. It is impossible to defend the treatment of Sumner. When lreedom is achieved by the whole human race, and its light is reflected back along tne track it hasjjpassed, no grander name than Sumner's will be read a man who wxs great ar.d honored by the wnoie civiuzeu world when General Grant was a Galerja tanner. Nor was Senator Sumner the on'y eminent Re publican who received a blow from the President for a failure to support his favorite policy of jfbreign annexation. So far there is nothing to seriously complain of in regard to the results of our foreign policy during General GjanU's. term?; but let every one .'"re member, that the lheident was not al lowed his own way concerning annexa tion, eW the results would probably have been different!
