It will bo remembered, that the noted
Frank P. Blair, of , M"tssoarf( asserted
previous to the last Presidential election
that if U. S. Grant was elected President
of the United States he would never bo
succeeded by another ; that in case an
other election was held, aad he wan des
feated, he would declare himself Dictator,
and, with the help of tbe Array and
Navy, would continue himself in power ;
that the principles of free government
would be blotted out, and the one-man
power be inaugurated in their stead. Con
trary to the wish and hope of Mr. Blair,
TJ. S. Grant was; elected Chief Executive
of the natio3rand although hi has been
filling the position for mor than two
years, with credit to himself and honor to
is country, the people have yet failed to
see the slightest evidence leaning towards
the usurpation of powers not fully and
clearly warranted by the . Constitution.
Yet there are members of the Democratic
ty, taking their cue from Blair, who
still echo the assertion that U. S- Grant
does not intend to have a successor: but
intends running the Government here-
ftor on his own hook. These alarmists
are either fishing for' gudgeons, or else
they ,honestly believe ' theii1 own ' asser
tion.v If the latter proposition be cor
rect, and they are truly persuaded of the
intent and purpose of U.S. Grant to
usurp the reius of Government immedi
ately upon tbe expiration of his term of
office, we certaiuly do not know of a set of
men who have more cause for real alarm
than these self same individuals. They,
have certainly maligned and abused the
coming Dictator" in every conceivable -
way, besides , exposing , nts - (as be sup
posed) secret designs, upon the "liberties
of the people." This being the case,
thc-y cannot expect that when he "grasps
tho reins of government with ao iron
hand" he will fail to pay his earliest res
pects to' those who were constantly plac
ing obstacles in bis path way. If he prove
to be the man they would have us believe,
then his first efforts will be directed to
quieting bis detractors aiid it is ; pretty
generally conceded that thn "coming
Dictator understands tbe business ot
tanning thoroughly. We hope these fear
ful gentlemen will not get on brg scare-,
and ran clean out of the country, ai in
