GREELEY ON GEN. GRANT.

Greeley, the father of the Radical
party, doesn't like Grant. The latest
from Greeley against Grant is tho fol-
lowing:
ITO eleeta man TO Office who deliberately gots
drunk Is to bring delirium iremcns into our legis-
lation, and to make the preparation and execution
of our laws uncertain, wild and spasmodie. Now
Is tho time for the men who really believe in the
virtue of temperance TO show their filth by their
works. Lot us resolve TO vote for no man who has
not strength enough to resist tho temptation of
wine."
In the above, Greeley substantially
charges that Grant "gets drunk
not because Sheridan "honeyfugles"
him and makes him do so against his
will--but because he likes 1.-THE gets
drunk deliberately" Not only so,
but he sometimes has the delirium ire
mems in consequence of his love OF
wine and strong drink. He used to
be troubled with this disease on this
coast; he resigned his position in the
army over here, and went home, rath-
er than be tried by a court martial IN
a charge of drunkenness but we were
not aware till Greeley told us, that he

ca" We know he drinks like a fish.
and that at such times soup turcens
are in demand. Bat we didn't know
he drank so much as to cause attacks
of delirium tremens till so informed

In the Atlantic States several hun
dred thousand white men are out of
employment with gloomy prospects
ahead. Many of them have families
dependent on them for support. In
the South those niggers that have no
work, or are too lazy to work, are sup
ported by the government; that is to
say, they are ted with food bought
with money paid into the Federal
Treasury by white laborers. The
Radical leaders think that if n niger
can't get work, or is too lazy to work,
he must be fed ut the expense of the
government; but when poor white
men are actually suffering for food,
and can't get work, these same Radi-
Gals never think of helping them to
food or clothing. Under the present
dynasty it is actually an advantage to
have n black skin. The niger bureau
feeds the lazy Niger; but in the
north, even if the poor white man
starvc and rot, no assistance is render
cd him by government agents and en-
ployes.
Oh the beauties of Radicalism.

Niggers before white men.

There are not less than three hun
dred thousand white men, in the north,
out of employment, and the radical
leaders have not offered to aid them
have not proposed to give them a
single cen from the federal treasury f;
in fact they havn't eve exempted
these white men from the taxes they
pay for the support of the niggers and
the bondholders. If il is right for the
government to support niggers who
arc out of employment and too lazy
TO work, it certainly cannot be so very
much out of the way to contribute
something to the relief and support
of white men and their families-out
of employment. But radical leaders
don't see it in this light. They see
nobody but the niger. They lcgis-
late almost entirely for tie niggcr.-
They have niger on the brain, and
they expect to go to the niger when
they shuttle off this mortal coil. We
have wondered why Sumner-"man-
hood suffrage" Summertime illustri-
Gus Senator whose wife left him be-
cause he is wanting in one essential of
manhood-does not live on terms of
intimacy with a negro wench-just
like Thad. Stevens has done for the
past generation.
The next election will teach radical
politicians that white men have some
interest in the government. White
men will be found at the polls voting
the white mans ticket and in favor of
a white mans government.

HON. GEO. HI. P~ENDLETON.

We place at our masthead to-day
the name of George H.. Pendleton, of
Ohio, as our choice for candidate for
President at the approaching presi-
Dental election. Though compari-
lively young in years, he possesses a
craftsmanship as sound and enlarged
as many of his senior competitors.
His moral character is admitted, even
by his enemies, to be without stain or
~reproach. His political principles are
known and understood. His position
in favor of e~qualizing the burdens of
government; in providing can for
the liquidation of the public debt
his opposition to the Reconstruction
measures of Congress, as well as his
hostility to the laws of Congress by
which the negro is permitted to vote,
hold Office, sit on @juries, and testify in
courts of justice, all point to him as
worthy of the honors that await him
at the next Democratic National Con-
yention.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.

Ii would seem from late Geographic
dispatches that this stupcndous mock
cry and farce will soon close. We
have little doubt Johnson will be de-
posed, and that Wadc-one of his
judges and prosccutors-will take his
place. The President has no chance
for justice. The Senate are at once
the jury, the prosecutors and the
judges; and being overwhelmingly
radical, and determined to GUST him
ut all hazards, guilty or not guilty,
we shall be surprised beyond measure
if he be not unceremoniously kicked
out of Office. The proceedings of the
House Of Representatives forcibly re-
minded us of the doings ofthe French
Convention during the progress of the
Reign of Terror in 1925. There is
the same indecent haste, the same
reckless violence, and the same disrc-
gard for constitutional law; and the
Senate is not a whit behind in all the
elements of radicalism and anarchy.
IL they Gust the President, We hope
they will hang him ;-as it would be
n fit act to crown the unspeakable in
justice and damning infamy of their
entire proceedings.

A sTINKFINGRR DEMOCRAT.

There is occasionally a Democrat to be
seen whom, when in Illinois, we used to
call q stinkfnger and for the edifcation OF
our readers we will describe the monde.
script.
A %stinkfnger Democrat is generally a
great stickler for party usage and Democratic
principles, provided everything suits him
exactly. But il n Convention don't nomi.
nate him, or his man, he invariably finds
faulA with its proceedings, and goes round
"hem.ing and having" struggling his
shoulders and looking exceedingly wise, and
prognosticating defeat and ruin 10 the party.
He finds more screws loose than any other
man possibly can ; and wien the enemies Of
the Democracy approach him for the purpose
of using him to divide and defeat the party
he doesn't tell them to "get behind me. Sa.
tan" as he should, but he listens to their
plausible story, and finally goes over to
them, body, breeches and boots. These are
some of the marks of Sir Stinkfnger.
But there are others. lie may lie known by
his smell. lie smells bad. His perspira.
ton has q strong, peculiar and unsavory
odor-a sort Of cross between that of a
white man and q niger at a shucking.-.-
Whether this is caused by his "cheek. by.
jowlp associations with Radical wire pullers,
we are unable to decide. But certain it is
that he smells bad-indeed he stinks all over
from the crown of his foot to the sole of his
head. His fingers, however, stink beyond
all calculation. They exhale an odor that
forcibly reminds of that Off ciyet-cat, an un-
washed and sweaty foot and a Guinea.nigger.
Any Democrat whose hands smell thus you
may be sure is q %stinkfnger Democrat. You
needn't look further nor smell further, for
that matter.
OF course there's no Sir S%tinkfnger in
Linn county. We are too strong and united
here for Sir s.. to flourish we'll; but in an
other county we hear of one or two Sir Stink.
fingers. Let Democrats spot them, and give
them no rest, day nor night, till they go
over, with their traps, and odor, to the enc.
my. We have no use for them.

THE radical CONVENTION.

Last Thursday afternoon the Radi-
Gals of Linn County held q Conven-
ton. There was no previous public
announcement of it; but nevertheless
several of the chief fuglers of the
party got together, as we have stated.
Thinking we might get an item of
news, we dropped in as quietly as pos
sible, to witness their proceedings.
We had not been seated q half min
ute, when one of the members of the
Convention came to us, and politely
informed us that this was only u meet

we asked. eyes," was the reply ; and
as our radical friend looked signifi-
cantly at, and started towards the
door, we had nothing to do but to take
our hat and leave--which we did. If
we hadn't done so We should have
been ordered out. Before we left we
saw Judge Geary rise on his pegs
and make n motion of some sort, and
we thought he was getting ready to
make n speech. Yet he don't dabble
in politics oh! no. Innocent man |

Whether outsiders will be informed az

ton before VIC go to press, VIC cannot

are undoubtedly scheming to divide,

They will probably nominate two OF

of the more important Offices, hoping
thereby to divide and defeat the par

PoLIrICAL PREAcHERs.-Dr. Adam
Clark, than whom nobody isbetter known
to the Christian world, had a very poor
opinion of men who preached politics in
the pulpit. He was himself n of the
most eminent theologians the world has
aver known, and may be supposed to have
fairly and fully understood what he was
talking about, when he said:
political preachers neither convert souls mol
build up believers on their most holy faith. One
may pique himself en- his loyalty, another on his
lberality and popular notions of government, but
in sight of the great head of the church the first
is as sounding brass, the second a tinkling gym
bal. When preachers of the gospel become par
ties in party politics, religion mourns, the church
Is unedifed. and political disputes agitate even
the faithful of the land. such preachers, no mat
ter which side they take. are no longer messen'
gers of glad tidings, but seedsmen Of confusion
and MASTERS of the heritage of Christ.
