In interests were to n large extent DC
p ,ndent on the Sou horn trade. Per-
maps no city in the Union had closer
business connections, before the war,
with the South than Newark. Veal ny
establishments having Southern BRAN
chcs went to ruin. 1t was natural that
these material interests should influence
the political course of our people. But,
since then, years have passed away.
Our business men have sought and es-
tablished an alliance with the West and
North. The Southern trade is no long
er essential TO our prosperity. We can
live with it or without it; but our
active and energetic men are now con-
WINGED that their true interests lie in the
direction of Tree and intelligent labor.
they find that cash paying black free
men are as good customers as white
aristocrats who give their notes"
The Baltimore american says: "The
Republicans throughout Maryland APP
pear to be very active and are thorough
~ organizing, particularly in Western
Maryland. In many election districts,
GRAFT Clubs have been formed, and
others are in process of formation. The
soldiers are also actively participating
in the canvass, and, through their ASSOC
Citations, are doing good work"
Col Robert Nj. Douglas, Il son Of the
late stephen A. Douglas, is private sec
rotary to the Governor of North Caro-
lima, and is a strong Republican. At
the meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina,
last week, Col Douglas made a speech.
He quoted the dying message of his
father to his sons : "Tell them to obey
the Constitution and laws of the coun-
try and expressed his determination
so to do. He regarded his fathers mes
sage as committing him to the Republic
can party. Col. Douglas speech was
most effective.
The atlanta Era of the 18th says:-
Gloomy letters are being daily receiv-
cd in this city from the North. Several
were received last week by Democrats,
saying that Seymour did not stand the
shadow of a chance, and that the election
of Grant was reduced to positive GER
tainty.
The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal writes as follows con-
corning the Boys in Blue and Tanners
There has been no organization of the
efficiency and power that marks the
Boys in Blue and the Tanners. The
Boys in Blue are soldiers. I hey subm t
to the regulations of the army. They
move and charge under orders. Their
dress is a blue cape, blue cap, and torch
I'm every respect-in numbers, etlicicn-
cy, and zeal-they far exceed the Wide
Awakes. The Order extends to every
town in this State. The order in this
vicinity turned out last night for the
first time. Not half of them were in
line, and they had not their uniforms,
yet they were 10000 strong. They at
tended the great meeting at the Cooper
Institute, where Sicklcs, Gen. Plcasan-
ton, Fitzpatrick, and other soldiers add
dressed tne crowd. They marched up to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and paid their
respects to Gen Griswo!d, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor. The Tan
ners are not so numerous, but are II very
efficient corps. They wear aprons, caps,
and capes Oi the color of wash leather.
a large portion of the Tanners are Ger
mans, and are demoralizlng the Sey-
mour force among their brethren. These
TWO organizations are winning converts
in the most extraordinary manner
Their mode of campaigning is very talk
ing, and very efficient.
