Lewis and Wise-Aboli.ion.

In its notice of Radical Grant meeting in
Harrisonburg, the Old Commonwealth says:
Senator Lewis made few remarks in which
he promised a speech hereafter. He appears
to have been at one time quite in harmony with
Greeley. except that he could not endorse
Greeley abolition views"
The statement of Senator Lewis that ''he
could not endorse Greeley's abolition views
surprises us, as in speech delivered in the
Courthouse in this place within the last year
he announced that he was an abolitionist before
the war, and had been such ever since he had
witnessed scene in front of the iail in this
place where he saw parents and children sepa-
rated by sale.
Hon. Henry A. Wise says he cannot support
Greeley, yet, since the war; he has declared in
the most emphatic manner, notwithstanding
the loss of thousands of lives and millions of
dollars, that he thanked God for the war, be-
cause it had resulted in the abolition ofslavery,
and had emancipated the master from the slave
that the war was an instrument used by Pro-
violence to effect the abolition of slavery.
1t is not expected that Greeley will receive
the support Of extremists. Lewis and Wise
represent opposite extremes and illustrate the
adage that extremes meet" When Wise
was violent Wing he said that ''Whigs could
recognize each other by the instincts of gentle
men, and that, ''if his pointer bitch would
lap tne plood OF Democrat, he would have
her Killed" The opposition of such extremists
will not be of any disadvantage

Ticket for President and Vice-President.

Ticket for President and Vlce-Presldent.
We place the ticket of Geeey for President
and Brown for Vice-President at the head of
our column. Though we have favored the cleo
ton of this ticket from the time it was nomi
mated at Cincinnati two months ago, and oppos-
ed the nomination of any other by the National
Democratic and Conservative party, as such
nomination would ensure the reelection of
Grant, and the continuance of the mischievous
influence over him of the corrupt malignants
by whom he is surrounded, we have not here
tofore placed it at the head of our column, be-
cause it was due to the party to which we belong
to await its action in reference thereto The &C.
ton of the democratic and conservative parties
throughout the States has been such as to leave
no room to doubt that no other nominations will
be made by the National Democratic and Con-
servative Convention which will assemble to-day
in the city of Baltimore, and that that body,
composed of the assembled wisdom and patriot.
ism of Democrats and Conservatives through.
out the whole country, will either formally nom
mate the ticket of Greeley and Brown, or, de-
eli ming to make any nominations, will urgently
recommend all Democrats and Conservatives to
give that ticket their earnest and hearty sup
port. Under these circumstances, we place the
ticket at the head of our column, and will give
it our earnest support, and hope that no Demo
crat or Conservative will hesitate to do what
he can to secure its success. We believe thai
this ticket will be triumphantly elected in No
vember. To think otherwise, would be to reflect
upon the honesty, patriotism and good sense oil
the voters of our country. There is only one
way of getting rid of Grant and his corrupt adj
ministration, and that is by the election Of
of Greeley. The alternative is the election Of
Grant Or the election of Greeley. Not to sup
port Greeley is to support Grant. Those who
decline to support Greeley, aid the support
given to Grant, whether they vote for him OF
not. Under such circumstances, there is nc
excuse for neutrality. ''They who are not fol-
us, are against US, is the language OF Hin
who "spake as never man spake." No vote
can escape responsibility by acting the part O
neutral, and the manhood of the people hal
no respect, and but little liberation, for politica
eunuchs at any time, but more especially in {
crisis like that of the present. Yet this is the

ensuing Presidential election 20, what fal

The girl of fhe neriod

THE girl of the PERIOD" as she is called
wishes to become lawyer, physician, or poll
teal spouter, clamoring for what she calls hel
rights. In idealizing the perfect woman of his
time, Shakespeare represents lovely maiden
addressing her lover as follows:
''The full sum of me
Is an unlessoned girl unschooled, impractical
Happy in this, she is not yet so old
But she may learn happier than this,
She is not bred so dull but she can learn;
Happiest of all, in that her gentle spirit
Commits itself to yours to be directed,
As by her lord, her governor, her king"
