Reply to a “Grant Republican.”
A lonsr and somewhat rambling
communication of a “Grant Republi
can' appears elsewhere in this issue of
Times. It is ostensibly a reply to re
cent editorials in the Timss, in which
« *i f * I »** *
the writer thinks we reflect rather ser
verely upon some “Grant Republicans
in this vicinity.’’ It is for this reason
that v e give place to it, as we do not
wish to do any one injutice, though
we must confess, that the real ‘object
of the communication, as it appears to
ns, is not so much to refute Charges
which tye have made against “Grant
Republicans in this Vicinity,” as to
make an argument fpr Grant vs Gree
ley, in which the attempt xs hiade to
show that the latter is til'favor of so
cial equality, and the former is not.
As we hy,ve before stated, we are
no apologist for Greeley or any other
Republican, If we should support
him for the Presidency, it will be as a
choice between him and Grant, and
taking the published platform of each
upon which they appear before the
country, we think there are a good
many reasons why Greeley should be
supported by Southern men, in pref
erence to General Grant. We in
tend however to reply to some of. the
points attempted to be made by the
writer, and we intend.to do it serious
ly, though it will cost us an effort, as
he has laid himself open to ridicule,
by the anomalous position he has
taken.
1. He objects to our saying in a re
cent editorial, that “unlike some Grant
Republicans in this vicinity, wq have
not been a life time admirer of Horace
» . . * ’l:*'*,
Greeley.” We quote from our edito
rial, where the word admirer is used,
and, not supporter, as he has it.
Well, we do not see why he should
object to that, since we simply meant,
that we had not been reading the
New York Tribune, applauding its
sentiments, and exerting ourselves to
extend its circulation, as he has been
doing for the past several years. We
never saw but one cr two copies of the
New York Tribune in our life, until
wc came to Carroll county, where we
lound it scattered all over the county
having a larger circulation, wo belief
than any other paper at this Post Of
fice.arid all through the exertion, of our
corespondent. If the money he has
spent, and energy he has displayed in
circulating Mr. Greeley's paper, Joes
not constitute him a life time admirer
of Mr. Greeley, he certainly can be
called one of several years.
*
2. He objects to our saying that it
comes with bad grace from him, to
want to render Greeley odious, at this
time, since he been busy tor the
last few years, in promulgating Gree
ley’s ideas all over the county etc.
Again \v£ reply that we do not see,
why he should object to the above
statement, since we do him no injustice,
as he well knows, it is literally true.
He can not say, that he had arty other
object in the world, in exerting him
self so industriously, to increase the
circulation of Greeley’s paper, but to
promulgate his (Greeley’s) ideas. This
was the motive, and he knows it. But
he tries to avoid the issue, by stating
that not until very lately lias thisdoc
triue, of social equality been agitated.
We beg leave to correct him, as it has
been before the country some time, be-
I t *
ing one of the pet measures of his par
ty in Congress. If Mr. Greeley is in
favor of it now as he charges, "we pre
sume he was, when he was busy in
promulgating his (Greeley’s) ideas all
over Carroll county, by extending the
circulation ot the New York Tribune.
Aud if any body ill the couqty, be
lieves in the pernicious doctrine of so :
cial equality, since Greeley teaches it
as he charges, and since he has been
busy in circulating Greeley’s ideas, as
he will not deny, our corespondent is
most certainly responsible for the social
demoralization. But he denies bitterlv,
♦ i •;»
that |i? has been busy in promulgating
the social equality doctrines of Greeley*
Well we have Jnot charged him w ith
promulating the social equality doc
trines of any body. We stated that
he had been busy in circulating the
New* York Tribune, but we have
never said, that we are aware of, that
the New York Tribune advocated
this doctrine. But when our corespon
dent attempts to disprove this charge
of promulgating social equality doc
trines, which his vivid imagination, has
conjured up as made against him, we
think he runs entirely off the track.—
The proof as lie l*2i‘ms it, is first a
tirade against the Democratic party,
in which he gets a little sarcastic, and
second a long and tiresome history of-
Reconstruction, all of which has about
as much connection, with thp simple
we made, that ho had been
busy iu promulgating Greeley’s ideas
by circuiting the New York Tribune,
as to who killed Cock Robin.
We flriflk w’c have answered fully
his comments upon our editorials, in
which he thinks w’e reflect rather
severely on “some Grant Republicans
in this vicinity,” and that we have
proved that wc have neither done him
ncy any body else injustice, 'in* any
statement be have made. Before
closing this article there ftre hoWever
some points in his communica
tion, which requires a’passing notice.
It is evident to the most casual rea
der, as we have before stated, that the
mam object of our corespondent, is to
render Greeley odious to the white
men of OarrolL countv by charging
him with being in favor of social
equality. Thfe was his object in re
questing us last- week, to publish the
extract, Irom Greeleys PolighkeepstC
speech. Not satisfied with our publi
cation of the entire extract, and com
merits upon it, last week, he garbles
it in his communication in this issue
and uses such'parts'*as he thinks will
serve his purpose. Ncxw we submit
that this is not fair, after oi\r publish
ing according to request, the , entire
extract.
Agaiu the evident drift of the com
munication of our corespondent, is to
show that he does not belong to the
negro or social equality party. This,
in the face of the past history of
Republican and its platform, as
put forth recently at Philadelphia,
which we publish in another place, is,
we had almost said, an insult to the
intelligence of the readers of this
paper, and will no doubt, excite
the visibles of the well informed rea
der of all parties. Why- my dear sir!
your Philadelphia platform commits
you s.qiureiy and unequivocally to so
cial, equality, so there is no use in
wriggling and twisting about it, for
you have to gulp it down, or else
leave the party. Also your recent
Philadelphia Convention had over fif
ty negro delegates in it, (the Cincin
uati Convention had none we believe)
and your white, delegates there, it is
said, not only preached negro equality
to. them, but practised also what they
preached, by taking the Black dele
gates to their bosoms, and eating and
sleeping, and drinking with them, at
the leading hotels of the Quaker City.
While we do not propose to act as
Mr. Greeley’s interpreter, yet wc must
say, that we think th,e criticism upon
Greeley’s letter of acceptance extrava
gant and far-fetched. The simple con
struction of what lie means, by con
stitutional obligations to maintain the
equal lights of citizens, we should,
j think, would be, to see that the negro
have these rights lately conferred up
on him by the 14th and loth Amend
ments, viz; the rights of citizenship
and suffrage. “This and nothing more.’’
The idea of lugging in the civil rights
bill of 1808, as a constitutional obliga
tion, in order to carry Ids point, and
make Greeley mean something, that
the simple construction of ids language
will not authorize, is a shallow subter
fuge, and unworthy the ability of our
correspondent.
The extract from Greeley’s editorial
during the war as to how' the South
ern soldier should find his home, upon
returning, is we confess rather heavy.
But in those days of blood and mad
ness, a good many severe things
were sstid, no doubt, by both sides.—
Greeley, being an editor, happened to
have his sayings recorded. But how
different has been bis actions, from
the direful threats uttered in those
days of madness. L nlike the majori
ty of the Republican party, who are
now T useing Grant as their tool, to
wreak vengeance and revenge upon a
people at their mercy, Greeley w r as
willing when our armies surrendered,
to let the war stop. And beyond all
Northern men, has shown a disposi
tion to bury the hatchet, and receive
back the Southern people in fraternal
relations. For this, we shall ever ad
mire him, and give him credit. We
are not so much of the partisan, either
as to deny the noble action of Gen or
al Grant at Vicksburg and especially
at Appomattox C. 11., for we had the
honor of belonging to (lie army of
Northern Yeremin, and know where
of we. sn§aV, when we say that he
treated General Lee’s army magnan
imously at the surrender. But alas
for human ambition! although a pro
nounced Democrat, visions of the
Presidency tempted, him from the
high position which he occupied as a
soldier, and he has been made the tool
of tlie revengeful spirit of the North,
to crush, and oppress his fellow’ citi
zens of the South. So we reiterate of
1 '
General Grant, what we have said
of Mr. Greeley, that we do not care
the snap of our finger, what his indi
vidual opir.iqn may be, so long as be
suffers himself to, he ;]ie representative
aud executioner of thg behests of a
party who are determined that the
war shall not end, notwithstanding it
has been seven years, since it nominal
ly closed, and who are determined up
on the farther humiliation of our peo
ple, notwithstanding their longings
aiid desires for peace, in order to
build up their crippled fortunes.
"VV e tl\ink that “Grant Republican"
is a little fast in classing Sumner as
an ally of Greeley’s. Though lie hates
Gvant, like the Devil, they say, hates
holy water, w T e have not yet heard of
his joining the Liberal Movement.—
The Liberal party, we think, is entire
ly too catholic in spirit, for the vir
uors ‘/phawles.”
Ia conclusion we would say, that
our correspondent, was unfortunate in
his allusion to Old John Brown as it
reminds us, that we are told by the
telegraph that the entire Grant Con-
Verition the other day, after the unan
imous '‘nomination of Grant, arose and
sung that notorious sohg about Old
John Brown's spirit “• still marching
on.” The natural inference, of course,
is, that the convention considered the
re-nc min alien of Grant, as carrying
out the Hellish spirit of that old horse
thief. This may not be palatable to
a “Grant Republican” in Carroll Conn
ty,' but he can not deny that the infer
ence is not a legitimate one.- *

“No Stu'iender,’’
A corespondent under the above
iiom de plume, is out in this issue, in
a long article, which he closes, by
appealing for a Democratic nomina
tion at Baltimore. If the Convention
»•
should see any earthly chance, when
they meet, of electing a Democrat, why
of course, we would say with our cor
make,Democratic ncmi
tion. Rut if a failure with a Demo
cratic. nominee, is. inevitable, and suc
cess with the Liberal Republican
candidates, certain, we see no good
reason why the Democratic party
should commit political suicide, when
it can, at least, get partially what it
; demands, by joining hands with the
Reformers.
Notwithstanding our correspon
dent’s opinion to the contrary 4 we
think there is a good deal of differ
cnee between Greeley and Grant, and
the platforms upon which they appear
before the people. Greeley has
ever. since the war closed, been gene
oils, while Grant on the contrary, has
been a tool in the hands ol the perse
outers of the South, and we therefore
propose, if we have to sell out, to sell
to Greeley, as he oilers the best
terms.

llabit.— Few have sufficient res
pect for habit; the ease with which it
may be formed, the difficulty with
whicli it can be broken, ’the magical
power with which it smooths the
rough path of duty, enabling us to
look w ith indifference upon the allure
ments of the world- It is a band to
shield, which the fingers of a boy
may at first weave of threads light
as gossamer, and which yet grows in
to the strength of steel. By its aid
the greatest things are accomplished.
The cultivation of proper habits
should be impressed on the young.
The New York Sun, which is sel
dom satisfied with things, objects to
the proport ions of a rattlesnake recent
ly seen in Carter county, in this State,
and described as reaching from one
side of the road to the other, while
its body was as big as an ordinary
churn. The Sun says “that w'as a
very badly proportioned snake,” and
that “it should have been a good
deal longer, or else a good deal thin
ner.” We should like to kgc. T iy \yho
is running the snakes of this State,
the State herself or the New’ York
Sun ? When things comes to such a
pass that New York arrogates (a her
self the right to dictate to yjcky
the size and shape of her serpents, it
is high time for the trumpet to sound
to arms and for the sword to leap from
its scabbard.— Courter <7 O urnal.
Grant Republican Platform.
The Republican party of the United States
assembled in National Convention in the city
of Philadelphia, on the olli and Oth days of
June, 1872, and declares its faith, and ap
peals to its history, again announces Its posi
tion on the questions before the country.
1. During eleven years of supremacy, it has
accepted with grand courage, the solemn du
ties of the times. It suppressed a gigantic
rebellion, emancipated 4,1)00,000 of slaves, de
creed the equal citizenship of all, and estab
lished universal suffrage. Exhibiting nnpar
relled magnanimity, it criminally punished
no man for political offenses, and warmly
welcomed all who proved their loyalty by
obeying the laws and dealing justly with
their neighbors. Jt has steadily decreased
with firm hand, the resultant disorders of a
gr eat war, and initiated a wisa and humane
policy towards the Indians. The Pacific rail
road and similar vast enterprises have been
generally aided and successfully conducted,
the public lands freely given to actual settlers
immigration protected and encouraged, and
a full acknowledgment of the naturalized cit
izens’ rights secured trout European powers.
A uniform National currency has been pro
vided, repudiation frowned down; the Nation
al credit sustained under most extaordinary
burdens, and new bonds negotiated at lower
rate; the revenus have been carefully collect
ed and honestly applied, despite annual large
reductions of the rate of taxation; fhfe" ! ptibftc
debt has been reduced, during Gen. Grant s
Presidency, at the rate of a hundred millions
a year: great financial crises have been avert
ed, and peace and plenty prevail thronghout
the land; menacing foreign difficulties have
been peacefully and honorably composed
and the honor and power of the nation kept
in high respect througout the world.
This glorious record of the past is the par
ty's best pledge of tire future. We believe
the party will not entrust the government to
any, or combination of men, composed chief
ly of those who resisted every step of this
beneficial progress.
2. Complete liberty and exact equality, in
the erigoyment of all civil, political and pub
lic rights shoald be estafclised and eflecttral
ly maintanedihroughout the Union, by effi
cient and appropriate State and Federal leg
ation. Neither the law nor its administra
tion should animate any discrimina
tion in resjjeet to citizens, by reason of race,
Creed color or previous condition of servitude
3 Xfe recent amendments, to (ae constitu
tion should he cordially sustained, because
tehy aid right, and not merely tolerated be
cause tliey are law, and should be carried out
according to their spirit by appropriate legis
lation, the enforcement of which ean safely
be entrusted only to the party that secured
those amendments.
4- The hational government should seek to
maintain an honorable peace with a,’d nations,
protecting its citizens everywhere, ahd sym
pathizing with all people who strive for great
er liberty,
5. Any system of civil service, under which
the subordinate positions of the Government
are considered rewards for mere pa.ty zeal,
is fatally demoralizing, and we therefore, fa
vor a reform of the system, by laws which
shall abolish the evils of patronage, and make
honesty, efficiency and fidelity, the essential
qualifications for public position.
0. \\ ? are (. noosed, (o Qi ((ter grafts of pub
lic lands to corporations and monopilies, and
demand that the national domain bo set
apart fur free homes, for the people,
7. *tVe hold in undying honor the soldiers
and sailors, whose valor saved the Union.
Their pensions arc a sac-ed debt of the nation
and the widows and orphans of those who
died for their country, are entitled to the
care of an Additional legislation, anu nnl ?£
tend the bounty of the government to all our
Soldiers sapors who were honorably dh>ch«rg
ed, an 1 wh >, in the time of duty , became
disabled, without regard to the length of ser
vice dr the cause of such discharge.
8- The doctrine of Great Britain and oth
er European powers concerning allegiance,
that once a subject always a subject, having
at last through the efforts Vff rl;h He.publieXlh
party been abandoned, ami jb e Awnrican idea
of the iudividnal’s right to trdnsfer allegiance
having been accepted*'by European nations,
it is the duty 0.(.0i;,r government to guard
with care the rights of adopt
ed citizens, against the assumption of unau
thorized claims, by their former governments,
and we urge continual careful encourage
ment and protection of voluntary immigration
0. The franking privilege ought to be
abolished and the way prepared for a speedy
reduction in the rate of postage.
10 Among the questions which press for
attention is that which concerns the relations
of capital and labor, and the Republican par
ty recognize the duty of so shaping legisla
tion as to secure full protection and. the am
plest field for labor —the creator of all cap
ital—the largest opportunities, arid a just
share of the mutual profits of these two
great servants of civilization.
11. We hold that Congress and toe Pres
ident have only performed an impe ative da
ty, in their measures for the suppression of
violent u,n 1 treasonable organizations, in cer
tain lately rebellious regions, and for the
protection M the ballot box, and that there
fore, they arc entitled to t,he thanks of. tbq
na<i n.
12. We denounce repudiation of the pith
lie dibt, in any form or disguise, as a nation
al ctime. We witness with pride the roduc
tion of the principal of the debt, and 4 thc
rates of interest upon the balance, and eor.fi
dent!v expect that our exce’dcut national cur
reucy will be perfected by a speedy iesutnp
of specie pay men's.
13. The Republican parly is mindful of
its obligations to the lou,l women of uimori
ea. for their noble Uevotioufo the cause ol
freedom. Their admission into wider frvlds of
usefulness, is viewed with satisfaction, am!
the honest domudns of any class of persons,
f.r additional right* should be treated with
rcs'xctiul consideration.
1 f. We heartily approve the action of Con
gross in extending amnesty to those lately in
rebellion, an 1 fraternal feeii.ng throughout
the land.
15. The Reptumean party propose to re
spent, the rights, reserved by the people to
themselves, as carefully as the powers deleg a
ted by them to the State.
16. It is the General Government to adopt
such means ns will tend to encourage Aruer
iean commerce and ship building.
17. Wc believe that the modest patriotism,
the earnest purpose, the ijoun l judgement,
the practical wisdom, the incorruptild integ
ritv and the illustrious services of Ulysses
S. Grant have commended him to the hearts
of the American, people, and vyith him at
our head, we start today qpon anew march
to victory.
