For the A'giS Dc MteUigencer
Horace Greeley.

Mr.. EDITOR: There appears to be a dis
position on the part of great many Demo-
Gratis to advocate the nomination of Horace
Greeley for President by the Democratic Con-
vention. This appears to me to be very
strange state of affairs, unless the whole sys.
tenn of nature has been reversed, or | have
become so stupid that | am not able to COM
prehcnd the matter. The idea of Horace
Greeley being made the standard, bearer of
the Democratic party, is as incongruous and
as incomprehensible as u union of fire and
water, The only ground upon which they
can base their argument to advance his claims
is availability. | would like to be informed
in what way his success would benefit the
Democratic party. He has always been the
most Inscriptions and untiring opponent the
Democratic party has ever had, and remains
so to this day. Has he ever recanted in any
one instance his views in regard to any of the
principles which form the creed of the Dem
ocratic party? Never. He believes in the
same doctrine and worships at the same poit-
ical altar that he did when he sustained John
Brown in his raid on Harper's Ferry. They
tell us we will make stepping stone Of him.
That is very brilliant idea, and equal per-
haps to the one of placing salt on the tail of
an old bird. When the Democratic party
places this stepping stone in position, and
place their feet upon it, it will sink beneath
their tread and bury them under the waves
of oblivion. He is too shrewd bird to be
caught by chat. He is endeavoring to make
a stepping stone of the Democratic party, and
if they continue in their present faltering con-
dition he will be successful. The true situa-
ton of the matter is this: Hehas discovered
the errors of the administration, and becom-
ing alarmed at the excuses of his party, and
consequently fearful of its overthrow, he de-
sires to get into power to rectify some of the
most glazing outrages and thereby give it
new lease of power. If the Democrats are
ready to assist, let them enter into coalition
and merge themselves with what is called the
moderate Republicans; when they do so it
will be the end of their organization and fu-
ture hopes. They will read in their imagi-
nation, the motto over Dante's Inferno
"He aoh0 enters here leages hope behind"

Her merchants are just what they should
be-courteous, accommodating, pleasant,
and yet dignifed, as gentlemen ought to
be in their sphere Our mechanics are in
dustrlous, and hence they are prompt. Our
schools are excellent. The most beautiful
feature about the village, in our Judgment
is, 1--WE mean socially the absence Of tat
thing and gossip, which disgrace so many
little towns. Here an individual or fami-
ly may live in quiet and peace, free from
the confusion occasioned by foolish tongued
people.
Our reason for expressing these things,
IS that we lack some things; we need more
mechanics-men of good moral character,
and some capital, that is, enough to con-
troll moderate business, and to induce per-
sons to move and settle here. Nothing is
more important to them, than to know that
our village is as we describe it. Especial
ly harness maker is wanted; q man who
understands that trade, and who has even
small sum to begin with, and who would
keep good materials, no doubt would do
good paying business. AS evidence of the
appreciation Of mechanics by our citizens,
we have but to refer to our cabinet Makers
success. Mr. John Klug, in that business,
moved here February 22d, of this present
year, and already is hard pressed to fill or
ders for new furniture, and repairs, fast
enough.
A timer might also do well. Generally
the cash is paid as soon as the work is done,
and the mechanic can buy everything he
needs almost quite as cheap here as he
could in Baltimore. Persons of good stand
ing wishing TO purchase building lots, can
do so, from either DR.. M. Price, or Mr.. Jo-
seph w. Painter.

Letter From FallstOn.
FALLsToN, May 22d, 1872,

Mr.. EDITOR We some time ago gave
your readers little information about our
village. We wish now to speak more mi
nutely about some features about Fallston,
which were in our former communication
merely limited at. 1t is said by some I'M
married persons, (whose age is thing not
to be mentioned) that the reason why mar
red persons advocate matrimony is, be-
cause they are in trouble, and want to get
others into like situation. Misery bDss
company they say. We feel ourselves pref
ty well aoeaded to this place, and are not in
misery from the fact ofour citizenship here;
on the contrary we are happy and conten-
ted with our humble home in this locality.
What we wish to express is the truth, and
therefore we do it without hesitation or
fear of disappointing any who might visit
here. Fallston is really pleasant place.

Hon. ID. w. Voorhees, Again.

Mr. VOORHEES,, in stirring speech deliv-
cred ut Terre Haute, Indiana, on Saturday
last, defended himself from the charge
brought against him by certain journals that
he favored the election of Grant Mr. Voor-
hees said:
In the last three years l have arraigned,
exposed and denounced the present Admins
tration with far more earnestness and honest
zeal than all who are now dcnouncing me
put together When I was allowed twenty
minutes few days ago on the floor of the
House in which to point out why was not
in favor of Mr.. Greeley did not suppose it
was necessary to consume the time in de-
tining my position toward Grant. | had done
that often before, and reiterate here every
thing have heretofore said in regard TO his
Administration. Those who have charged
that was about to support him only judged
me by themselves, and supposed could aban-
don my principles as easy as they have theirs.
Mr.. Voorhees, then asks
Would the success of Mr.. Greeley be sue
cess to the best interests of the country |
have pointed out why | think not. 1t is
claimed that his administration would i'm
prove upon Grants. Itmight, and still COM
pei the united opposition of all friends of re.
form and good government. But on what
point of public policy is there any issue be-
tween Grant and Greeley? Will some one
point it out? On the contrary, on all ques-
tons of national import Greeley has warmly
endorsed the present administration, and has
never revoked that endorsement
After asserting his undoubted right to
speak against the nomination of Greeley, as
others have to speak in his favor, Mr.. Voor-
hees adds:
Perhaps you will ask me, in conclusion,
what we ought to do TO be saved and to save
our country from further misrue and plum
der. / am not here without an answer to
question go national. Much the largest num-
Der of voters in the United States are as yet
without candidate to suit them, and they
will remain so even after Grant is nominated
at Philadelphia, and with Greeley and Grant
confronting each other. There are elements
in existence opposed to both, and more nu-
merous than the followers of either, who may
be enumerated in four classes"
These four elements opposing both Grant
and Greeley Mr.. VOORHEES, sums up as con-

CORRESPONDENCE.
For the A'gis d Mtel2igencer.
The Wrong Man,

Sure enough, Mr.. Editor, you have got
hold OF the oor0Rg man, in your anecdotc of
last week under this title, if he was President
or Professor Of tile UnIcerSty Of California.
Has California groom up to having Univer-
sity? Now there as "the University of North
Carolina" or rather there 2oas; C'tuit Mum, W
and that University has given to the country
many ofits great men during long past years.
And in those old, dim ages, there was Pres
adent of the University of N. g., named DR..
Caldwell, a true blue old Presbyterian Divine,
aman Of learning and of character, and about
whom no end of good stories like that yon
tell are related.
A good thing is told of its present Tor late)
President, for would hardly dare to say that
the University exists, after its sad experiences
during the war.
On the installation ofJudge -. as Presi-
dent of the University, the orator of the day
remarked that President - was surely
the darling and pet Of North Carolina; since,
after she had conferred upon him every office
and honor within her gift, she had sent him
back to tile University to finish his education !
This referred to the well-known fact, that
when, as a mountain boy, he had been an
under graduate of the University his ungainly
person and uncouth manners had subjected
him to so much annoyance from his fellow
students, that he had abandoned his unfinish-
ed course of studies and had never graduated.
Throughout its history, the University at
Chapel Hill has been distinguished for its de-
gel0pnaent Of mental poecer, and equally so for
its nck of asthetical and literary culture.
Strong men and successful men have gone out
from her shades, and have made for them
selves a name and place of high renown in
many States of the Union. But the time is
come when we are entitled to claim some
thing more aud better than this in education.

Affairs in Cecil County.

We take the following items from the Co.
Gil Democrat Of the 9th:
The latest sensation at Elkton has been
a visit from General Grant. He was the
guest of p M. G. Creswell. According to
the Cecil Democrat the enthusiasm over his
arrival was very feeble.
"A bed quilt, in which was wrapped a
white female child, together with some bricks
to make it sink, was picked up floating on
Elk river at Ekton last week The child
was only twelve hours old, and had doubtless
been drowned by some inhuman mother.
"A cheese factory at Rising Sun turns out
100 pounds of cheese daily. 1t takes little
over a gallon of milk to make pound of
cheese. Farmers are charged two cents q
pound for making the cheese, which sells for
from 10 to 25 cents.
The Mutual Fire Insurance Company of
Cecil have fixed the rate of premiums for the
next fiscal year at 5 per cent.
Mr.. Robert Gimour, formerly of Cecil,
died YER. suddenly near Wilmington, Del,
recently.
Burglars paid an Elkton store visit on
Friday night of last week. They carried off
So in pennies and five cent pieces, but did
not attempt to open the safe.

lican party" but who do not believe that the
election of either Grant or Greeley will bring
about any salutary change in this direction.
"Second-A very large majority of the
German population. Grant is distasteful to
them on many accounts, and Greedy, if posi-
bic, is more obnoxious. The German press
is more than ten to one against him. The
meddlesome advocate of sumptuary laws will
naturally receive but little support from
people whose mode of life he has always de-
nounced."
The third, Mr.. Voorhees, says, is the La
Dor Reformers, who he thinks care more nu-
merous than superficial observer would
suppose, and devoted to the relief of labor
against the constant oppression to which 1t
is subject"
The fourth and most important element of
opposition, is the Democratic party. Mr.
Voorhees, adds:
In the masses of the Democratic party, g.
OOO,O0O strong, there is not one in a hundred
for Mr.. Greeley, and none for Grant They
want an honest, upright man, whom they

THE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. The U.
S.Senate has adopted the supplemental treaty
between this country and Great Britain by
which our government consents to withdraw
the claim for indirect losses from the Confed-
crate war vessels built in Great Britain; and
the Geneva Conference will therefore consid-
er the question of direct losses alone This
tardy action on the part of the administra-
ton is no more than right, and is simply the
withdrawal from a position which should
never have been assumed, and which could
not possibly be sustained.
