MANTLE RESULT.
During the recent visit OF Horace
Greeley to this city the venerable
sage was sitting on sofa at the New.
hall house, conversing with friend,
when Colonel Sawyer came up and
joined them. Greeley turned TO speak
with him, and, while he was thus en-
gagcd, his former listener departed.
Col. W. J. Kcrshaw happening along
just then, dropped in the vacant seat.
Presently Horace, not pcrceivipg the
change in the vacant seat, turned
around and resumed conversation.
He said, apparently rcsuming con.
vorsation where he had left it shortly
before "lt is the most---disgraco

and bland, while o look Of astonish.

y,no IL Responsibref

"Tho. Republican party of New
York is now broken into two factions,
each apparently more anxious to de-
stroy the other than to overcome the
enemy against which both profess to
DO arraycd. And this happens just as
tho revelations of the great frauds
committed by the Tammany Ring
have excited in the public an extraor-
dinary desire for reform and honesty.
Who is responsible for the disrup.
ton of the Republican body in this
State? /? 1t is Ulysses S. Grant, But
for his greedy anxiety to be President
again, so that he may keep in Office
his forty relations and his throng Of
present-givers, the Republican party
in this State would be as united and
as harmonious as ever.
"There is one way to harmonizo the
Republican party Of New York and
to give it life and strength for victory,
Let Gen. Grant withdraw as cand.
date for the Presidency, and these
fcuds will vanish like clouds borne
away by the wind But so long as
he persists in his cndeavors TO compel
the party to nominate him, so long
the quarrel will rage.
"Gcn. Grant prefers the gratifica-
tion of his own ambition to the exis.
tonce Of tho party which made him
President. Reelected he cannot be,
and the only hope of a future for the
Republican organization is in that
Spartan band which spurns his seduc,
tions and defcs his threats. The
faction Of his followers are in reality
more deadly enemies OF Republican
principles than the Democrats them.
selves and the true champions OF
Republicanism are those who stand
up bravely and firmly to condemn the
acts and resist the designs of this un.
faithful, money loving President"
There, reader, you have it. The
Republican party "broken into two
factions" SO says the New York
Sun, Radical reflector. What q
pity! How lamentable for "the bread
and butter brigade" but how glorious
for the country.
To our mind, it is quite plain, not.
withstanding the Raftsman'S JoGrndi
to the contrary, that Grants ro.elcc.
tion, were it possible, would prove rs
disastrous to the country as he will Ia
the Radical party by the time another
year of robbcries rolls around. The
plundcring next year among the rats
who iniest the general and State Gov.
ernmcnts will be two fold as great as
