New York, heretofore one of the leadln!
Democrats of the county, comes out fo
!; Grant and Griswold in long and abl
communication explanatory OF his view:
} which we find published in The lOr
Edward Gazette, Democratic paper
When AIr. Hull first made known hi;
convictions of right and duty he wa.
openly and UNANIMOUSLY assaiied 10y every
Democratic pot-house politician in Tho
County, but, knowing that truth wa:
ION his side be has charged home upon
them IN way 10 send them skulking
4 back into their dens of infamy. We
! make the following extract from Mr.
/ Hull's card:
! | maintain that the Democratic party
of to-day occupies the same position III
relation to the General Government as
did the Southern wing of TIE Democra.
cy in 1860, and are proclaiming the same
dangerous ideas, and advocating the
same revolutionary doctrines. They are
opposed by party, no matter what its
errors have been, which has proved its
devotion to the country. | know both
parties are extremely radical. But /
have chosen to unite my fortunes at
present with a radicalism that preserves
and opposes radicalism that tends to
destroy the Union. And because thus
control my own action and vote. bawl-
| ing demagogues and hucksters have en-
deavOred to cry me down. My motives
are questioned and my integrity assail-
ed. Whisky shops and gambling holes
spit forth venemous ISLANDERS and lies
for circulation by my personal enemies.
But conscious that | am doing right,
and of the rectitude of my motives, l
am enabled to stand erect amid this
hurtling storm, and bid defiance to them
all.
Scarcely a day goes by without some
War Democrat of prominence and infiu-
ence declaring for Grant, on the issue
forced up by the Tammany ticket and
the threatening attitude of the South =
Very recently the President of one of
Pennsylyania's greatest institutions was
rallied by his Democratic friends, who
got for an answer, that while he was no
politician he had distinct views and act
ed on his convictions; that he had be-
come convinced that in order to give
effect to the victory won in the field
and avoid another struggle, Grants cleo
ton was necessity; he should, there
fore. support him and advise all his
friends to do so.-[Pitts. Commercial.
To the editor OF the Tribune.
SIR.-Gen. Grant is a Jackson Demo-
crat, and so am |. He can stump his
foot on Wade Hampton, as Jackson did
on Calhoun. A still tongue makes q
wise head. The hand that writes this
voted for Gen. jackson at his last term.
Now the Hero's ashes in the grave would
be ashamed of the party that call them
selves Democrats. No trifiing with
mems souls that have laid down their
lives for us! THOS. B. CLARKE.
Red Bank, Monmouth Co., N. J. Aug. /, 1868.
Nelson Cuttings, Esq, formerly an ac-
tive member of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of Baltimore County.
(Md.) has come out for Grant. He says
he does not agree with all the principles
and aims of the Republican party, but
that in the present position of the
Democratic party, and the attitude of
their candidates, he sees farmore to con-
denim, and as one who supported the.
Union in the dark days of rebellion, he
will now heartily give all his influence
in aid of the conqueror of that rebellion.
We learn from the Baltimore Ameri-
can that the Hon. James Hughes, of
Indiana. for many years recognized as
one of the Democratic leaders in that
State, has left Washington for his native
State. where he will take the stump for
Grant, and keep it till the close of the |
campaign. He expresses the belief
that Grants majority in the State
will be greater than Lincoln's.
YOUNG DoUGLAs.-Thes son of Stephen
A. Douglas, the Little Giant" has
just made his maiden speech, and, takes
his stand with the patriots of the coun-
try.
JUDGE ALEXANDER RIvES, of Vir-
ginia, has come ou: earnestly for Grant
and Colfax. He has long been Con-
kindly noticed our enlargement and we
thank them for their words OF encour-
agement.
