:T7EE NEW YORK LEDGER.
FOR 1868

The reason that the NEW YORK LED
GER has the LARGEST circulation is thar it is the
BEST PAPER. WHY should it not have the.
largest circulation ! More labor, more talent,
more money, are bestowed upon it than upon
any other paper. It's moral tone is always
| pure and elevated. The rule on which the.
LEDGER is conducted, is to get til" best OF
everything. The public recognize this fact ;
and it is from their desire to obtain the vely
best paper that they give the LEDGER tlr.
preference; hence its unparalleled and unap-
preached circulation, being over three hun
bred thousand copies.
All our present corps Of popular and mi
ncLt authors will continue to write for the
LEDGER we begin the new year with a new
story by Mrs. Southworth; the Hon. Horace
Greedy will continue his Autobiography Fan
ny Fern her sparkling sketches; john G.
SAKE his humorous poems Sylvanus Cobb,
Jr., his entertaining Stories Professor Will
liam Henry Peck his stirring Novelties Hen
ny Ward Brecher his original Papers James
Parton his instructive Biographical Sketches;
Miss Dupuy her Dramatic Narratives; Mary
Kyle Dallas, Amy Randolph, Caroline Conrad,
Mrs. Vaughan, their delightful short stories.

A New FEATURE OF II LEDGEE.-Ad-
vice to Young Homcn.-A new feature of the
Ledger, in the beginning of the year, will be a
series of Twelve Articles, written expressly
for Young Ladies, by Twelve of the most
Distinguished Women of the United States,
including Mrs. Horace Mann, Mrs. Lydia Ma

"a Victim of Misplaced Confidence"

A Washington dispatch gives the follow
ing account of ga victim of mis- placed conf
dence:"
"An ex-member of congress from Illinois,
who is now here, and who has been friend
and companion of Grants from boyhood;
had long interview with the general few
evenings since, and learns from him that he
blames his pretended political friends for his
embarra ssments. He said that he had en-
deavored to keep out of their meshes, but
that they had entrapped him before he knew
it, and involved him in his present difficult
ties.
off" said the general, ~ can only man
age to get out of this scrape, promise they
don't catch me again" During the pathet-
ic recital of the manner in which he had
been overreached by politicians, the general
exhibited deep feeling, and left the i'm
preston in the mind of his friend that he
would wash his hands of radicalism.'
Grant should use water instead of "some-
thing stronger" in his additions; if, howev-
er, he really does intend cleansing himself
of radicalism, it will not only take whiskey,
but a considerable quantity of good. old
fashioned I've. Poor Grant. he is evidently
not success as radicalist.

FOR CONGRESS.

The Union of this morning, comes out for
John B. Hawley t'Lord Hawley," as Square
Bennett calls him. of this city, as the first
choice of the radicals of this county, and of
the district, "except perhaps the extreme
lower end of the district" As no intelligent
radical has the least idea that his party can
carry this district next fall, we presume all
the would-be congressman think it good
chance to kill off Lord Hawley by running
him and getting him defeated. As far as
the democrats are concerned they would just
as lief beat Lord Hawley as anybody.
1t is rather interesting to notice what q
fondness radicals have for apostate demo
Gratis, and how they pay them off for proving
recreant to the principles they once held
dear. There are several instances in our
own county. There is ExSheriff Merrill
Ex-Sherif Mclaughlin, Ex-Representative
Lloyd, Internal Revenue Belcher, Coroner
Helm, Ex.Cahdidate for Mayor Plummer,
Representative Coe, County Judge John
Wilson, Ex-City Marshal Wilson, and prob
ably others,-alI once democrats, all desert
ed to the enemy, and all got offices, except
DIR. Plummer-and he, we hear, will be pro-
posed by his friends as candidate for circuit
clerk, next fall. And now comes Lord Haw
ley, into the ring, another whilom democrat,
to be slaughtered in the race for congress
Well, he can afford to be beaten as he has
previously been rewarded with the offices of
prosecuting attorney and post master.
But our county is no exception to other
counties, or to the state. in paying off weak
kneed democrats who desert their principles
and go over to the enemy after Office. Bis
sell was the first notable instance, and he was
paid off with the office of governor. Then
came Trumhull John Wentworth. It. Gov.
