CONFERENCE OF LEADING
REPUBEICANCS-A MOVE
MEHT To DEFEAT
GRANT IN 1872

During the past few days n btr OF
leading Republicans, discontinued with
Irant's AdministI alton, have held an
Important conference in this city, and
the iins of action decided upon is one
that will make itself lei. in the various
States this very year, so as to have due
effect on the Presidential election. They
acknowledge that The Republicans are
in a majority i'll The North, and as GIANT
is to be the ucniuee Of the regular Con-
ventiun, they intend to ncoarag rebel
lion in their own focal Conventions, so
as to canse a break next year and run a
man of their own, aud thus defeat Grant
to whom are now opposed men like Lo-
gan, Banks, Fanton and Cox Thoy can
not securs the vote of their followers for
the Democratic party, but can draw
enough votes ava from Grant so as to
help elect the Democratic nominee. For
that purpose local ~dissentions, similar to
those now keeping the Republicans of
this State in a state of Decentralization,
are to be everywhere encouraged and
kept alive. At the same time an active
correspondence has been going on for
some days past with leading Democrats
so az to prepare the way for tha Demo-
cratic rank and file to run their ma1
without a platform. The Wing preee-
dent of 1912 is quoted, being the only
years when the Wing candidates were
elected, because their was no platform

meled Democratic candidate. The Re-
publicans claim that the Democrats can
elect their man if he is not hampered by
3 platform, and if his name is a guarau-
tee for the new departure policy. These
suy gestions have been thrown out to the
Democracy by leading Republicans here
this week, who, after having agreed up
on the tactics to be follow c in their W
party lines, now attempt to secure what
ever aid they can from the Democrats to
to defeat Grants ret lection. The De.

The True Cause of Trouble iu
the South.-All reports from the
South. given by impartialand un
prejudlced persons: clearly evince
that the great source of trouble
originates in the extravagant; ig-
norant, vicious and corrupt legis-
lation by Northern carpet bag
gers and brutal, treacherous mig
gers. Numerous high saiaried
officers have been created which
are with the basest aud vilest-
white men and the most ignorant
and n,agilgnant negroes, who are
constantly engaged in faging
schemes to rob the people, and
fomentiug diseord between the
races. Ex-Governor Perry of
South Carolina says;
"The government is in the +
hands of our former slaves, and
vile adventures, who have como
from the North to prey on the
vitals of the country, dishonor
the State, and return laden with
the stolen wealth.
The intelligence and wealth of
the State are powerless, incapa-
BILE OF holding office, and crushed
into the dust by ignorance, paup-
erism, and rascallty. Taxes are
levied on them by those who pay
no taxes. and own no property.
All the offices of the State are fl

Both Cromwell and Grant sunk
80 low beneath the level of even
decent society that their acquain-
lance was rather declined than
sought. Cromwell spent all of
his wife's fortune in drink, and
never paid hi. whisky bills till he
became general Of the forces.
Grant resigned his position in
the army under the cloud of per,
actual intoxication aud left the
Dayment of old scores till he be-
game a candidate Tor the Presi-
dency. At the breaking out of
the rebellion Cromwell was too
poor to pay for his own corslet
and swerd aud had to depend
apon Johh ILampden. AT the
commandments of our late war,
Grant was dragging raw hides,
and had to depend for his equip
Tnent upon Collins. Cromwell on
entering the army, pretended to a
change of heart AMI took to long
graces and longer prayers, fasting
and maceration of the body. =
Grant put himself under the
pastoral care of Bishop Simpson,
commenced a persecution of the
Jews, though we cannot say much
for his fasting, except i'm mediate

dearest ends by the fox like method of of indirec-
tiol; Grant assumes the same plan; Cromwell re-
moved Sir Harry Vane, and Grant gets rid OF the
distinctive foreign policy. Grants conduct towards
france, q crTnAny and Cuba, has been a Disgrace to
civilization. We could carry out the parallel father
aud more fully, but 1t is needless. We think we
have but to add that three years after Cromwells
death his memory was execrated, his grave riied,
his bones gibbetted and the whole party he had in
augarated overthrown forever.
