'Grant-ism. " It ie time that the people of the North and South should be once more brought together by an inspiring consciousness of their common nationality, nation-ality, common rights, and common duties; du-ties; and to this end it is necessary that traditional barriers be broken down, and that the policy of force by which the embers of c'vil strife are assiduously assidu-ously fanned, and the bitter feelings of the past are kept alive for partisan advantages, ad-vantages, give way to those moral agencies, agen-cies, conciliation and fraternal intercourse, inter-course, without which our republican system cannot long endure. It is time that the despotism of party spirit be broken, whioh in the Bhape of - porsonal -. government - rules our national legislation, and the past organization of office holders which, debauohed with corruption, demoralizes de-moralizes and subjugates public opinion, opin-ion, and stands in tho way of every true and thorough reform; and to this end, it is necessary that the embodiment embodi-ment of that despotism, the present administration, be defeated in its efforts ef-forts to continue in power, and that thus a free field be opened for a reformatory reform-atory movement, untrammeled by selfish sel-fish .partisan control. Whether we shall be able to accomplish all we desire de-sire or not, wo certainly can accomplish this, if for that purpose we all unite in an energetio effort ; and our success will be a great step in the right direction. direc-tion. Although I cannot be with you to-morrow, I hope to be able to co-operate with you to that end in the cause of the present canvass. Very respectfully, Carl Schdrz. .
