The New York Sun is an ably conducted
and lively Republican paper, opposed for
many and sef.evdent reasons, to the re-
election of Grant, and in favor of the nomi-
nation Of Horace Greeley as the next Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency. In a
recent number of his paper, the editor of the
Sun, contrasting Grant with some Of our
early Presidents, when only statesmen of
acknowledged ability and who never soiled
their hands by accepting gifts, let them as
sumo whatever shape they may, were elect>
cd to the highest sffics in the gift Of the
people, thus holds up to public derision the
present miserable failure at the head Of the
government
Jefferson died poor. and Monroe was in>
debted to charity for the stone that bore his
epitaph. To think of our President dying
poor Let the admirers of Grant rest as
sured that no such calamity awaits his final
exit, if it can be averted by the laying in of
a large supply of lands. tenements, houses,
bonds. stocks, plate, horses, carriages and
other valuables, the gifts of grateful office
holders. and of hungry. expectants who await
his re-election to thrust their hands into the
treasury.
'On the Sd of March. just before be as
cended the Capitol steps to take the oath of
office, Grant accepted gift of $64 900. On
the 9Th of March, with the pledges of his
inaugural lingering on bis lips, he appointed
the largest contributor to this fund Secretary
of the Treasury, and the two most active
agents In raising it Sub b-Treasurer and Collec-
tor of the Customs at New York.
V.a r
propriety bcfitting the high station of Pres-
dent. refused during his eight years term to
appoint any Of his relations to Office, how
ever worthy and eminent Grant in the
first two years of his term has opened the
way for forty-one or more of his relation. to
thrust their vulgar noses into the public
crib. Does not such President befoul the
chair once filled by Washington, Jefferson,
and Jackson
"If these things are done in the green tree,
what will be done in the dry ? When the
root rots, do we wonder that the foliage dies?
When the Executive Mansion at Washington
is converted into an exchange for the barter
and sale of Offices and contracts, do we mar
vel that the miner departments of the Ma
tional Government are nests of roguery, that
the State Legislatures are sinks of corruption,
and that city municipalities are dishonesty
administered Were Grant driven from the
White House with the brand of infamy on
his brow, we might hope that the mark, like
the characters traced on the wall before the
Eastern ruler. would deter others from the
commission Of offences against official pro-
priety and integrity.
"And what think the masses of the peo-
pie as they look upon this faint picture of
the evil times upon which they have fallen
Do they not turn from it with mingled emo
tions of disgust and despair 2''

AT the State Temperance Convention
which met at Harrisburg on the 9th instant,
BARR SPANGLER. of Lancaster county, was
nominated for Auditor General, and E. A.
WHEELER, of Mercer county, for Surveyor
General. few of the delegates who were
opposed to the nomination of State ticket
Withdrew from the convention, amongst
whom was Rev. Pennell Coombe, who, on
more than one occasion, has delivered tenn
perance addresses in this place and never
Jailed in wearying out the patience of his
hearers by his dull and dreary platitudes.
What this temperance movment will amount
to 1t is too soon to conjecture. The members
OF the convention seemed to be In earnest
and Judging from the tone of the speeches OF
Messrs. Spangler and Wheeler, both of whom
were present and addressed the convention,
the campaign against King AIcohol prom
lses to be conducted with decided vigor.-
