.s..,'W We learn s1r that at Lashley's, in this
County, Mr.. Harris achieved brilliant
triumph over Mr.. Blake in relation to
the League. Mr.. Blake had dilated IN
doleful strains on the oath or obligation
taken by the Leaguers, with aiview to
work on the religious feelings Of his
| hearers and induce them to leave the
League, Mr.. Harris replied ~ reading
the Ritual, and then said ~ am not
ashamed to admit that I am under a
solemn obligation to stand by the
Union. / can cheerfullyt and with my
whole heart place the Constitution, the
Declaration Of independence, and the
Holy Bible on each other, and kneeling
on them with the flag Of my country in
one hand and raising the other towards
Heaven, swear, by God who Sits upon
His glorious throne, that I viii defend
liberty and exert all my faculties to re-
store and perpetuatea forIeall time the
Unions of the States.8 The effect was
electricsp The people shouted their ap-
plause; and Mr.. Blake stepped forward
and proposed d. to Mr. Harris that if he
would say no more about the Leagues
lie would himself esilent in relation to
them. Let Mr.. Pell make q note Of
this - H.. a,-,;.aa.,,.., -. a.. :

Mr. Blake told the colored people at
Sorrells', on Thuesdayt last, that he did
not expect them to vote for him, for if
they did they would break their oaths
as members of the League. This was.

PoLrTIcAL MERcHANTs.- .-" No friendship
in trade. !" is well known maxim, and wor-
thy Of all the acceptation, becauseif friend
ship sways the Judgment on either side, mis-
fortune follows. It occurs to US that the in
PRODUCTION of politics into trade, ,is quite as
i'll advised, and likely to result. even more
disastrously. We learn that some of our
anti-reconstruction merchants are disposed
to distribute their advertising favors &C.
cording to their political bias. This we are
sorry to hear. It betrays the absence Of
/, that comprehensiveness Of view, and catho-
licity Of spirit which inspires and governs
the true merchant, and 10 its stead betrays
the possession Of contracted mind, limited
intelligence, and, above all, Of a mean and
bigotcd spirit. ssss ~.
Whatever other merchants may do, the
Atlanta Era trusts no merchant who aligns
himself with the reconstruction party will
!, lie guilty of any such folly. One. step more
will take this fierce spirit Of aptagonism
into the family circle something which all
good men should deprecatc and try to avert.
But II. it be true, that, the lines are to be
drawn !; if merchants will descend to the
muddy pool Of politics. why the sooner it is
known the better. We will then have .
show Of hands, and will sec. Fhere the
strength lies, and who will be gainers.--Na-

We learn that Mr.. Davis, Rebel
candidate for the Convention in Frank
lin, told the colored people at Frank
lintona day or two since, that they
could not vote unless they showed
their tax receipts. Mr. Davis knew he
was fibbing when he,said this. He
ought to be ashamed of himself. No
man is required to pay tar IN order
to cote. Every man who is reg.
istered can vote. Every man who
is registered is free under the acts

Of the many sides to his wonderful character.
After the writer of this was elected a delegate
to the Baltimore Convention, he saw Mr.. Lin
coin in the White House. He was in one Of
his brightest moods, and in his inimitable way
(and his most astonishing trait was his clair
vOyant insight, his keen comprehension OF the
character of our prominent men) Mr.. Lincoln
sketohed the position of every prominent
United States Senator on the question Of the
denomination of the President.
And to the no small surprise Of the writer;
Mr.. Lincoln produced half sheet Of paper,
upon which he had made an exact calculation
that he was then only short of a nomination

uon, as he did to Taylor IN 1913. lincoln
wished to conciliate the Rebels, but only on
the basis of liberty and justice for all. Greeley
would conciliate them with $4OO, ,O00 900, prof
fered with the palsied hand OF fear. When
the assassin's act had sent Lincoln to his i'm
mortality, all his eccentricities but served,
upon that sanguine background, to bring out
in stronger light the sanity goodness of the
man.
In the early part of the war, Mr.. Greeley de-
scribed his own experience as conoiliator as

not offend the Southern people by discussing
slavery. "Are they not better satisfied, y he
wrote, 'with my letting Abolition alone, than
though l struggled oficiously to make myself
known as their defenderl Enlighten me-" Mr..
Greeley's whole course, indeed, then and
since, indicates that passive yielding, on the
side OF his sentiments and feelings, which may
be expected from childish character. He does
not illustrate, in any instance, that intuition
OF truth and right which marks the man of
strong conscience, and which is 80 essential in
leader OF public opinion. Both men and
circumstances have warped his Judgment
