Grant and the Father of the Coun try. s We have alluded to the malig nant assaults on Washington and his adminigtration by , that class of calumniator feebly imitated by a a L ' - later . class of pigmy m aligners who assail President Qrant and his ad ministration iit the present day.- We will now pass on to the siic esso's of Washington, first taking the case of Mr, Jefferson INFAXTOUS CHARGE AGAINST JEFFFR50N During his Presidency, and dur ing the canvass and election which preceeded it, the whole vocabulary of abuse was exhausted by the fed eral press, and the charges were constantly rung upon Carter's Mountain Mrs. Walker Black Sally -the purchase of Louisiana the salt mountain mastodons and mammoths InCdelitv the invit- a ' ing Thomas Paine to return home iu a government vessel the pro scription of Federalists removals from office ingratitude "And every taint of voice where strong .corruption. . Inhabits our fi ail blood." Tliomas Green Fessenden, an author and journalist of some note, in 1805, and thereabouts, wrote a Hudibrastic poem in ,tyo good sized duodecimo volumes, entitled "Democracy unveiled, or Tyranny stripped of the garb of patriotism." A writer says : The work had a large circulation, and was very popular in the feder al party. The federal magazines and reviews and the universal fed eral press lauded it to the skies, and canomized Thomas Green Fes senden as a federal saint of rare excellence and potency. In this scurrilous poem, at once unmusi cal and slanderous, may be found, scraped together, the tilth and de famation which were poured out in that dny, un Jefferson, on Jeffer son's friends, and on the party to which he belonged. The Demo cratic traduce rs and calumniators of present times, jn manufacturing the detraction anil calumny with which they asperse'President Grant, are only tit pupils of the calumnia tors who endeavored to defame and disgrace Thomas Jefferson. But they and their infamous libels are forgotten, while the name of the man they hated shines resplend ent in -the temple of fame with a glory that will be eternal. So will it he with Grant and his envenom ed detractors. From the cess-pools of deserved and retributive obscu rity, wc drau again to light a few specimens of the scurrilous calum ny which formerly, as now, was cast ou merit by ignoble, envious, and disappointed hatred. THE OLD 3EW YORK POST AGAINST JEFFERSOK. In The New York Etcning Post, for July. 20, 102, We are inform- ed that , ' "Mr. Jefferson came to the go v enimeiit bv means which have raised thousands btfore him to power, and he will share the fate of every parasite of (those whom demagogues call) the people ! In 1792 he took the fatal resolution of opposing to the ' administration of the Federal Government the farce of sophistry, j calumny, and misreputation ! He has continued the great file leader of the malcon tents, the vicious, and all who favor revolutionary liberty. Mr. Jeffer son may fancy himself secure in the wretched confidence of popu larity ; but he is deceived; that will vanish and leave him to repent, at leisure, of pover ill gotten and scandalously abused." JEFFERSON DENOUNCED AS A LIAR, tC- j On tile 2nd of September, 1S02, Mr. William Colman, then Editor of The New York Evening Post. thus expressed himsielf in his edi torial columns ; "Sec Jefferson convicted in tl,e j face of day, of crimes the most de- J gradinga ttiran calumniator of j men whose worth he knew, and; whose services he has seen ! ' A fawning hypocrite who could pre tend affection while he basely jtra- duced : a mar who could proclaim his respect for characters which to ms intimates ne uiscnoea as con temptible." The same paper for June 22, 1802, says: "This Jefferson is the man who is eternaily canting and whining about executive influence. Take it awav, he exclaims,-take it awav and his ministers say it is taker: away while law is repealed, and all existing offices abolished to get at the federal officers and sacritice them to make room for the friends and supporters of his Excellency. plain Thomas Jefferson." JEFFEtfSON DELEGATED TO HELL. In the collection of Political Pamphlets, in the Library of Con gress, Vol. 107, may be found the choice paragraph which follows, and which truly portrays the ani mosity felt toward Jefferson by his enemies : "Who are the' 'enemies of the country? Its riders. What do they deserve ? Hell. A vaunt thou tyrant, j If thou canst not be saved by reformation, go to Hell a thy proper abode. O, thou disturber of the peace ; thou destroyer of thousands; what hast thou done? Ask Bonaparte, ask the Devil. Thy grave will not secure thy bones from burning. V JEFFERSON ?S TERSON AND PRESS RIDI CULED. Iu The New York Evening Post. for January 7, 1802, is the follow ing personal paragraph, wherein Jeffersoh's dress is described in a manner very different from another description which will immediately succeed this one : "We j hear the mammnth cheese has been received by the President of the United States: at Washing ton, from the charge of Pansou Lelandj It is said the President stood in his door to receive it dressed in his suit of customary black, with shoes on that, close tight round his ankles, laced up with a neat leather string, and absolutely without buckles, consid ering them as superfluous and anti republi'can, especially when a man has strings." In the jsame paper for April 20, 1802. a Washington correspondent thus displays his graphic powers: "Jefferson is dressed in long loots with the tops pressed down about the ankles like a Verginia buck; overalls of corduroy, laded by frequent immersion in soap suds from yellow to a dull white; a red single breasted cloth waist coat, Rearing unqustionable marks that he is m the habit of feeding without a bib; a light browu coat, with dull brass buttons, once gilt; and both coat and waistcoat seem ed to be aged, at least, five years, more or less ; his linen bespeaks that close attention to savings iii his dealings With his washer-woman, which has been so much in sisted upon by Mr;. Bailey ; his hair is undressed, and beard unshaven. oucnw tneugurer.0 wnomyou arenrsented.as President of the Unhocf States." A hitman Ufe-preserver.

That lie ! would have f- ,s-. procured for our people immunity from some of the rigors of Recon struction had the leaders of the opposition among us permitted him to carry out the programme his intercession for the State had induced Thad Stevens and the lead ers of the Republican party in Congres to mark out and agree to. That he is the pioneer of Gener al Amnesty in Xorth Carolina, is a matter of recorded history, for he insisted upon Amnesty in? the first party Conventions the Republican party held in North Carolina, and to him more than to any Other liv lnir man arc the people of this f State indebted for the Amnesty features in their StateConstitution; and when some of the more extreme of the Republican party in the Constitutional. Convention of r68 were nronosthjj, ' In' tKeTr" oVil l:n- 4 ft guage, "to inake the lands too lu avy by taxation fjr the land owners to carry" it is! well known that Mi Pool was urgh)j the par ty up to a proper standard of libera alify, equity and statesmanship, 'and the result was that equilibrium in our State Constitution -between i he property and the, poll tax. His course in regard to the Ku nx legislation of (Congress has been amply vindicated by the Ku Klux developments, and the con duct of the Ku Klux and their friends; and instead of dejioiincing him for his efforts and participa tion in the Ku Klux legislation of Congress, the people" of North Carolina will thank Mr. Pool for contributing iso materially to the peace of the State and the protec tion of her citizens. I ! Fronr the speech of Mr. Pool, delivered in the Senate, April 5th, 1871, and for which lie has been more violently' abused? than for an v single act of hislife, we make an extract, which ought tq put to shame the supjorterslof Mr. Gree ley, for while we find him' ahead of that great Apostle of Amnesty in behalf of that beneficent measure, we, fnifl him. compared with Mr. Greeley's record on the Ku Khr laws, absolutely on the sipe of his erring and unfortunate fellow-citizens. We invite attention to the extract: J j "Congress has been indisposed i to leuelicent legislation toward the South, becnuse of tHe unset' tied and threatening aspect of its affairs.

Young Beecher was about el veil years old, and was as full of fun and mischief as at pres ent. The teacher was drilling her pupil in the rudiments. " ' ? "Now, Henry," said she, "A is the indefinite article, you see, and must be used only with ihe singu lar number. ! You can say 'a man,' but you can't say a men, ' can you?'' "Yes, I can say 'a men,' too' was the rejoinder: "Father says it always at the end of his prayers." "Come, Henry, don't be joking; decline he." "Xomitive he. possessive his, ob jective him." j "You see, 'this' is pbssessive. Xowyou cau say 'his bbok,' but you cannot saj 'him boo(v.?

"Well," remarked the judge, scanning his subject from head to foot, "yours is a singular case, yet I think it easily accounted for. T am reminded by it of a little xtnry. A colored man with a loaf of bread and a bottle of whisky sat down to dine on the banks of a clear stream. In breaking the bread ho dropped some crumbs into the water.

"Ii, other words," r added the judge, alcohol affects only the brains, and of course thoie having none may drink it without injury." - The storm of laughter which followed drove the "moderate drinker" from, the house.
