General Grant vs. Sumner and Stevens.
The attitude in which the parties whose names stand at the head of this article present themselves before the world on the important question now agitating the country is eminently proper, as well as highly instructive.
General Grant is the most successful warrior of the age. He has just in war. Of undisputed courage, tried on a hundred fields, it follows as a natural consequence that he should be merciful and magnanimous.
On the other hand, Stevens and Sumner have never smelt gunpowder.
They have never known what it was to conquer, or even to confront an enemy where gunpowder was to be burned.
On the contr be not much better.
Now, we do not mean to assert that the timid are always cruel, but we do assert that they are much oftener cruel than the brave.
Sumner and Stevens are the very men, of all others, to urge a continuance of bloodshed; Grant is the very man to urge a course of peace and reconciliation.
