Such heroic . conduct, despising personal emolument fori firm party . principles, should be most especially . cherished and lauded by" our people in such times of political intrigne : for public offices exhibited by ovir j popular demagoges. ' Surely they i cannot fail to receive their just and rell-merited reward Well doner . good and faithful servants ! ourj jovial, genial-hearted ; inerid Deake, cditorof the Roan Mountain Republican , and Press Association liquor abolitionist, should raise at his 'mast-head the thunderbolt of war' aud bellicose maniac General Grant for President in 1880. Now, Rrol Deake, how can ju swallow a man habitually addicted to' so much "rot-gut" when every.orie knows you introduced temperance resolutions at the j Press Convention ? Rut sup pose ' we come down j to the real issues of the question; There js a great summary of strong principles in ' the term Grantisra. They ; are principles ostensibly revolting to a free people,, and . tending" to mon archy, Having in, the capacity of a G e ri e ral, p o s s essed 1 i n d i s p u t ab 1 e ,s w a y in action, and acquired a crew of boon companions which a brother hood of warlike 'propensities always rymlers a firm compact, in his civil as well as military 'career he has still clung to those principles. In his White House capacity he has al ways exhibited these military habits, and has clung to his. opinions and corrupt companions just as a military leatter of despotic "disposition always overrules th'e presumption of his subordinates' arid .gather around him a crew of companions of a particular cas(.e. ' j, - . luch principles, all of which are displayed in the term Grantilm, are evidently incompatible with the fiee atmosphere that has. ever invigora ted our Republican population. )re do not in the least doubt but that if Grant were nominated by the i - 1. . . Republican party lie would eagerly accept it, and show to the people of Europe his influence: on our soil". He will "come back pampeted with the vanity of a pedant, and deified in his owh opinion, by the respect which must necessarily have been paid by the European government to I the highest tunctionary in me United States.

Probably as many indulge in excessive eating in their daily food, as do in the excessive drinking of spirituous: (iqours;! and perhaps the epn sequences are as ex tensively sad and ruinous.

If a person eat to excess but seldom . i ..... -. ... or even hut once, he destroys his own comfort, sins against God, and wounds both soul and body. How does excessive eatiiiir render a man terms as in any first class paper. ZSThe Ledger's circnlation is JULIAN S. CARR. 1 In .
