POZTTIoAL.

The Boston Journdi gives the following as
an indication OF the way the wind bio ws:-"A
gentleman connected with one of the largest
mercantile establishments of this city returned
yesterday, after an absence, of several weeks
spent in the States of Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan, and New York. While travelling he
has endeavored TO test the general political
sentiment by taking numerous votes in the cars.
These votes have invariably given Grant ma
ioiity Of from twenty to fifty per cent. The last
vote taken, on the 4th inst, between Albany
and Springfield, resulted as follows:-Grant, 81;
seymour II; non-voters, g."
"A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com.
mercidt after detailing his conversations in
Kentucky with various politicians, says:-"As
summary OF what / saw and heard in Ken
lucky, can only say that if the people over
there mean anything at all by their talk, they
mean fight, and, in the event of a Democratic
victory, VIII inaugurate it at once. They seem
TO be desperate over the loss of slavery ana
political power in the nation, and they now
feel like doing what they did not in l86l-going
into the fight as state, as well as individuals"
General Rousseau stopped at Paris, KY, on
Wednesday last just long enough to inform the
special correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
that he was sanguine of the elec ion of Seymour
and Blair, and regarded "the election IN YER
mont as mere bagatelle put-up thing on the
part OF the radical leaders,"
The leading Democrats Of Ohio say that the
nomination OF Vallan1iGham for Congress will
cost them 10000 votes in that State. If he
loses the party 10000 votes in Ohio, be ought 10
lOse lutul ZUU,OUU IN lne Union. Every mONe-
ment made by the Democrats since the Fourth
Of July has been blunder
Aaron W. Gilbert, mem ber of the colored
Democratic Club of Augusta, Ca, has recently
resigned, saying in his letter. Starvation and
death may come, aud me without q dollar in my
pocket, and still / will be Republican, aud
always viii be, so as TO have an equal showing
before the law.n
"A letter from Illinois declares that that State
is sure 10 give fifty thousand majority against
Seymour, Blair, and renewed rebellion. The
Quincy Wing confirms this, and predicts that
the Republicans will carry every Congressional
district that they carried in 1866.
In Cincinnati the Republicans have formed
Grant and Colfax cavalry battalion. The
uniform consists OF cavalry jackets, red caps
with white top and yellow band, with a star;
body belts, red, white and blue.
Hon. Thomas j. Turner, of Freeport, H.,
who was the last Democratic candidate for Com
eress against b. B. Washburne, has publicly
avowed his intention to work and vote lor Grant
and ColfaX.

The Rochester Democrat has correspondent
who appears to be very familiar with "the solid
meLn OF New York and its Oldest inhabitants
Abiding to the rise and progress OF its merchant
princes business and professional men, he
mentions the fact that most of them sprang
from humble employments John Mason, who
few years ago was one of the heaviest dry
goods men, was originally tailor; and the
cloth1ers Brooks Brothers, who own q million
dollars worth of real estate, began with the
needle. Vanderbilt himself once sailed a
periauger, which now seems like a very petty
business; and Daniel Drew kept droyers'
tavern. We Americans will not stay pat, as
they say, and men are continually fitting from
one trade to another. Sometimes an entire
mercantile house will make a somersault, as
in the case OF Conan. Hopkins q Co.. who
shifted from the wholesale dry goods to the
wholesale grocery trade, aud made a fortune IN
the latter. In the same manner Sheldon Is Co.
exchanged the dry goods for the book trade,
aud are now among our leading publishers.
The Harpers began as journeymen printers.
Greeley, too, was n tYpe.setter, and Raymond
was reporter. But that also is an old story;
and we may look for more recent examples.
Henry c. Bowen, the publisher of the Ildcpend-
en, commenced life as vender of shilling
calico. Bonner, OF the ledger came here a
poor printers boy, from Ireland. A. L, Ste wart
is also an Irish emigrant, and Knox, the
Celebtated halter, landed in New York
with one shirt and an Irish shilling
in his pocket. George, another mll-
lionaife, and a man OF great torethought
and rare intellect, commenced lite

patent medicine man, who has made a million
dollars, used to run "a one.horse grocery on
the canal. Pike, the great whisky man, who
lately erected Pixies opera House, started In life
a baIefooted boy. There are the Turner bro
thers, who made a fortune in ginger wine; and
have just completed a marble block, which rents
for $2500O0 per annum, who used to peddle
peanuts and lucifer matches. There might be
pointed out ten thousand just such cases among
our most opulent citizens, showing that honor
and fame from no condition rise. Young man
you who are struggling for position in the world

trious, and never say die, and you are bound to

marble cutter, and measures sixty-two inches
in length by thirty-twO inches in breadth.
There are other blocks at the mine from which
this was taken but none so large have as yet
been discovered. It is the intention of the
Messrs. Green to have it analyzed by compe-
tent chemist, and there is little doubt of ITS
yielding 80 to 60 per cent. of pure iron, If not
more. The discovery of this ore, in its present
locality, fully corroborates the opinion given
few months since by Professor Morley, Mining
Engineer of the Cambria Iron Works, together
with that of Mr.. Trimbath, an experienced
