S. GRANT. Three delusions occupy the minds of that small portion of the American peo ple -who are able to think seriously about political aflairs. First, the moderate Republicans, who are unwilling to sacrifice liberty to party ascendancy dream that this country may be governed permanently by the Federal Legislature, to which the Executive and Judiciary shall be not absolutely but relatively subordin ate. ; U. Second. That wins of the Demo cratic party which is represented by the New York World, dreams that, the Radicals being ousted, the Govern ment may be restored to what it was before the war and the Constitution re established. minu3 the institution of slavery, and the heresy, as they esteem it, of secession. - Third, That wing of the Democratic party which is represented by the La Crosse D emocrat and its adherents, whose numbers in the North are be coming considerable and - whose : unre flecting followers at the South may be numbered by thousands, dream that the overthrow of the Bondholders, the repudiation of. the public debt, and the uprising of the working people, will in augurate a new era of peace, prosperi ty and happiness under a perpetual Republic It is high time these delusions were dispelled. This country cannot be long or well governed by the Federal Legislature, for the reason that that Legislature, even if it were Democratic instead of Radical, would, under a system of gen eral suffrage (supposing negroes to be excluded,) represent tho mob and its passionB. ) The constitution cannot be restored, minui slavery and secession. Slavery secured an aristocratic representation, and secession was the sole safeguard against consolidation. If a State has not the right to secede peacefully, eve ry right which it claims must in case of dispute, be established by force of arms, and arms failing (as in the late war) the Federal power, whether it be controlled by the Executive, the Leg islature or Judiciary, becomes, so far as the States are concerned, supreme in a word, it is despotism. i The hopes of Brick Pomoroy and his followers, North and South, do not merit serious refutation. They are hardly sincere and' they are certainly wild. The repudiation of the publio debt is chaos, anarchy. What then is our state t Looking to the past, we now see clearly that the American revolution, in so far as it was supposed to have es tablished the right of self-government, jju , .;u u , u jm ;jx:u; J iU was a blunder as well as a crime. : The experiment has tailed signally-, and (for ages to come) nopelessly. t i' ,' ;J ; -The question of feeeession,' Which re mained in. dispute; from the foundation i of the Union, till 1865, has bow been finally decided; and the sword has left to the Statesorth as well as South, no righto whatever. : The authority id Washington Is paramount to U other authority in the land, and 'none ' need A . War being ended it remained to de cide, whit. 1f the three branches 6f the central government should control jthe. others, i Hence , the long and bitter struggle between Andrew Johnson and Congress. ' That struggle Is drawing near a close. - Ours has been, hereto fore, a Presidential or popular govern ment. '. A few weeks hence, it will ' be a Congressional oligarchy, and we1 all know what to expect firom that ,;. , This oligarchy, inflated by pride and maddened by passion, could not under any circumstances, , remain ' long ; in power... It is not an oligarchy of aris tocrats, but of demagogues. 1 They have neither the sense, the discretion nor the breeding necessary to the main tenance of their high position. Al ready their heads are giddy. ' Fortunately ! for the country," they cannot remain long on trial. They are compelled next fall to go through the forms of a Presidential election. :' Still more fortunately they are forced to present General Grant as their candi date. We think it fortunate, because we believe firmly that Grant's election is certain, and because we believe that Grant will prove their master. s ' ' Many will dissent from this opinion, which we have long held and shall con. tinue to hold until we see reason to change it. 'Many will be offended, but that we ' cannot help. There is, in our opinion,' no earthly chance of the restoration of a Republican form of government, and if we are to chose be tween a Senate of fanatics and a Ty rant like Grant, we declare unhesitat ingly in favor of the latter. We should much prefer a limited Constitutional monarchy to a despot ism. But that is not possible here. In England, where the franchise is re stricted and -where the Parliament re presents the landed interests and the vested rights of the titled gentry, mon archy is the natural sequencer ' But in the United States, property and intel ligence do not and cannot, while uni versal suffrage obtains, bear rule. Empire is the natural sequence of Republics. And if Grant will follow the suggestions of Montgomery Blair, given in another column, he may make himself Emperor without another war. That is the best we of the South as well as the North can expect for some years to come. In the convulsion which must occur before the next de cade, the South may reasonably hope to be free if that be a boon, as things are since the downfall of African slave ry. For the present her interest is an Emperor instead of a mob of masters, miscalled a Senate. v Nor need the South fear Grant He is not the fool he is said to be. . He is not the Radical he is thought to be. He has played and is still playing his game for absolute power with consum mate skill. From as obscure outcast from the regular army, he has risen to $ie supreme command of that army. He has made himself a necessity to the Radical party. ' Strong as that party has been and is still, it is powerless without Grant, and they know it He knows it ; This day, were he to side witft Johnson, Radicalism would go to the wall. " He does not side with John son, not because he hates the South or loves negroes, but because Johnson re presents Constitutionalism, and his. game is outside and above the Consti tution. He is seeking dominion, and he has almost grasped it Whether the wisdom which has led him so far be his own or another's the fact re mainsGrant is the power in this country. Call it fortune, luck, what else you will, it does' not change the result He will use the Radical party as a stepping stone to the Imperial purple, '.-J i' ii f.;i. t i i-t.i. ;l " ,- . i '.' -i , Apra,30,l86a . i and then he will strangle it ' He 1s a man raised up of God for that purpose. He is remorseless; k His heart is flint His will is ' adamant1 His fondness for horses, for dogs and cigars, his bad grammar, ' his 'Silence, his ignorance, all, do not the least unfit him 'for the part; he has to play; When the Cou rier desEtataUnis said, in quiet deris ion, f he talk? little and thinks less," it uttered a good loke, which all enjoyed. But those who wjll be at pains to look back, a little, will jremembOT t pdrtant facts in this " lucky fool's " his tory. "First, he accepted the command of the armies of the United States on condition that he should have absolute control of them. i. Second, he has per sistently; refused to 'stand upon any Republican platform,- and has forced that party to make him their candi date without any publio pledge what soever. These two, put with many other things, prove that Grant is for himself and no one else. ' ; ; : ' . He is no ordinary man. He who would rush Ids legions against Bragg, entrenched on Lookout Mountain ; who strewed the line of inarch from ; Rapi dan to the James wit h 80,000 dead and dying; who at the second Cold Har bour, allowed bis wounded to perish in agonies rather than admit a defeat by sendmg 'a flag Of truce to Lee ; and who, to carry his point, accepted with ont hesitation the awful responsibility of starving ten thousand of his fellow- countrymen at Andersonville ; he who would do this, and would play the' ter rible game of war as ! recklessly and coolly as he was wont to play the game of faro, in the days of his penury, .is just the man to strangle a State or throttle Continent, if that State or that Continent stood in the way of his ambition. Self-contained and pitiless, he is the man of all others, in America to master, put down, keep down, and trample out of existence - the Radical party. , Wlvat if, in uaAaigTit baneo- essary to deluge New England or the West with blood t ' That would please him well. Nothing better' ' But he has taken sides with the ne gro and will grind the whites of the South under his heel. ; Not he. His danger lies not that way. The South is unarmed, and naturally disposed, as a choice of evils, to prefer Imperialism to fanatical Demagoguery. The West is restive, and New England mischiev ous. But the moment the West per ceives that the struggle has begun be tween Grant and Congress, it will side with Grant President- in name but emperor in. tact, ne wiu tnen easily overmaster New England by the sim ple threat of putting his armies in mo tion. In this way , and this alone, bloodshed may be averted ' and the re volution, now in progress be accom plished peaceably. The Republic will have disappeared, the Empire will have taken its place. , We will not have a good government, but we will have the best possible under the circumstances and as good as, most governments in Europe. All sections, all classes, both races, will be kept in subjection. The land will repose, the fruits of industry ,will be gathered ; civil liberty will be extinct, but there will be a fair share of personal liberty to those who be have themselves. Therefore we hope that Grant will be Emperor. The VaIxey of Death. The fol lowing is a probable explanation of the upas tree , story : "A real valley of death exists in Java ; it is termed the "Valley of Poi son," and it is filled to a considerable height with carbonic acid gas, which is exhaled from crevices in the ground. If a man, or any animal enters it, he cannot return ; and he is not sensible of his danger until he finds himself sinking under the poisonous influence of the atmosphere which surrounds him. The Carbonic acid of which it chiefly consists, rising to the height of eighteen feet from the bottom of the valley. Birds which fly into this at mosphere drop down dead, and a liv ing fowl thrown into it dies before it reaches the bottom, which Is strewed with carcasses of various animals that have perished in the deleterious gas." - - - ' - -j. f i.

She was so very young and innocent and pret ty. She had such a way of looking at you over her hymn-book in church. She alone of the world, did not think you a boy of eighteen, but won dered at your size, and your learning, and ' your - faint .foreshadowing of a sandy JnOustache,, and believed you every inch' a man. . ; When at those stupid evening parties where boys who sUooid haye been in the nursery, and girls who should have eaten their sup pers of bread ; and milk, and gone to sleep hours before, waltz and flirted and made , themselves ill, over, oysters and champagne, you were favored by a glance of her , eye or a whisper from her lip, you , ascended to the seventh heaven immediately. When once upon a certain memorable eve she polkaed with the druggist's, clerk, and never l&akeq at you, how miserable! you were., It is funny to think of now, but it was not funny , then, for you were awfully in earnest . . Once, at a picnic, she wore- a white dress, and had roses t .vined in her black hair, and she looked so like a bride that you fairly trembled; some times you thought in just such a cos tume, with just such blossoms in her hair, she might stand beside the altar and you, most blessed of all mortals, might 'place a golden ring upon her finger, and when you .were left alone with her for a moment some of your thoughts would form themselves into words, and though she blushed and ran away, and would not let you kiss her, she did not 'seem angry. And when you were, parted, somehow, for a little while, and when you met again she was walking with a gentleman, a large, well whiskered man, of twenty eight or thirty, and had neither word nor smile for you, and some wellmean- ing gossip informed you shortly after that she was engaged to the tall gen tleman with black whiskers, and that "it was a splendid match." It was terrible news to you then, and sent you off to some great city, far from your native place, where, after a good deal of youthful grief, and many reso lutions to die and haunt her, you re covered your equanimity, and began to make money, and to call love stuff and nonsense. You have a rich wife of your own, now, and grown up children aye even grand children about your hearth; your hair is gray, and -you lock your heart up in the fire-proof safe of your counting-house when you go home at night And you thought that you had forgot ten the little episode of your nineteenth year, until the other day, when you read of her death in the papers. You know she was a stout lady, who wore glasses, and had daughters elder than the was.la h&$ f lden time,bufyou heart went back and you saw her smil- -ing and blushing, with her golden hair ; about her face and yourself a boy again, ' dreaming of weddfogrobes and rings, knd you laid your gray old head upon" Jour ' office desk I and , wept for the , memory of your first sweetheart v CUT THIS OUT.
