fair to be large.
The improved prospects for good
crop Of wheat should bring down
-four a trile.
John L. Gill, Of Columbus, IS now
building 300 freight cars for the c. {.
c. & I. Railroad. Car works pay, and
ours should be hurried up.
On the record Of twenty years ago
stands this remark Of Horace Gree
lev. publicly made: May it be writ
ten on my grave that I never was
follower Of the Democratic party, and
lived and died nothing its debtOE."
Vel, we rather think he is dead,
and whatever is written on his polit-
licaI grave. be should owe them
grudge for killing him with indiffer-
ent love
The Arkansas Republican State
Convention met and adjourned on
the 18th. It WIS largely attended,
every county except five being repre-
sented. The State and National Ad-
ministrations were endorsed, and the
delegates to Philadelphia were in
strueted TO vote for the re-nomina-
tion Of Gen. Grant.
Horace Greeley having withdrawn
from the Tribune, that paper announ-
ees that it will be an organ never
more. That sounds like dab at the
philosOl.li farmer, and intimates
that the paper has always been an or
gan. The principles generally that
the Tribune has advocated have been
good, and now we suppose that it in
tends to drop all principle and advO-
cate nOthing--or Greeley's election.
The internal revenue receipts for
the fiscal year to date amount to S1l3,
s63, ,156.
There are two Republican papers in
Illinois that support Greeley, and one
in Ohio. Very refreshing to Horace.
Any one that believes that Horace
Greeley's absolute" withdrawal from
the Tribune means anything, are pos
sessed of q confidence in human ma
ture that is delightful. Horace will
control the paper rs usual, and al
though it is ian organ nevermore, .
it will grind for its master without a
change Of tune.
Greeley expects the Irish vote.
Here is what the New York Irish
American has to say: ave have al
ways been Democrats; we are SO
from conviction and We should be
d lshonest if we professed to believe in
any other political doctrine. But We
can tell onr Boston censor thas we op-
pose Mr.. Greeley on principle alone
and there is so little Of the partisan
about US that if-frOm the motives oi
expediency which seem to be the on
ly arguments offered to justify such
treachery-the Baltimore Convention
should attempt to foist the Cincinnati
ticket on the American Democracy
so far from being bound to support it,
We should oppose the unnatural ALI
ance as firmly as we do now, and de-
nounce it as an act Of politicalsuicide
which nothing in the circumstances
Of the party could justify or palliate.
Defeat in a good cause is preferable to
the abandonment of principle"
Should Greeley and Brown be elee-
ted-which will be the case when the
sun rises in the nigLt-the pestiferOus
Blair would run the government.
Brown is tied to the Blairs, and Gree
ley would be as soft clay in their
hands.
The Democratic leaders here, who
are trying to get the masses to sup
port Greeley under certain contingent
cies, don't make much headway.
The masses have memories, and, un-
like the leaders, have no eyes on the
offices.
The Democracy at Baltimore will
not adopt Greeley. The signs are not
right and they dare not do It.
This is a little flea in the ear o
Greeley. tits a resolution adopted Al
q meeting Ofcolored men in Columbus
on the 10th. It is much in little: "Re-
solved, That we are opposed to the
elevation of Mr.. Greeley to the Presi-
dency, because, whatever the designs
Of those originating the movement,
its effect will be the restoration of
Democratic party to power; further
more, such a return from good to bad
would result in the repeal of Con-
gressional legislation upon which the
enforcement of the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments depend. With
regard to the tariff, Mr.. Greeley has
already declared that in the event of
his election he would sign all bills
presented to him by Congress, wheth-
he approved of them or not. As Mr..
Greeley's high-tariff notions are dear
to him, and ante-date the birth of his
devotion to the liberties of the color
ed man, he would not scruple to sign
bills directly antagonistic to our most
cherished rights. Judging Mr.. Gree
ley from published declarations; anC
regarding him as altogether toe
whimsical to fill the Executive chail
Of the Nation, we will proceed, a
soon as practicable, to prove to Mr.
Greeley and the Liberals what VI
know about voting the Regular Re
publican ticket"
The Cincinnati Commercial is no
doing its duty by Gen. Grants rela

several days. What does it pOrtend

The Democracy are waiting anC

to see the grimaces Of those who have
been in the habit of speaking out.
