monies; such as those which the great
works Of Wilkinson and Others have COPIED
from, the tombs and temples OF Egypt: 10
several there were. represented colossal,
statues drawn on sletls, the motive power
being many long lines of men pulling ropes,
as Layard's works show to have been done
In Nineyeh. But one thing here was new
and striking. Men were pouring oil before
the sled to make 1t slip, and Others following
1t with fresh vessels and small rollers were
also employed. Such contrivances help one
little in understanding how such enormous
weights were transported by unaided human
strength"
The discoveries here spoken OF are quite
interesting. Itappears that the cars bearing
the great weights were sided on ways that
were oiled. With these and other aids, ana
the power of any number Of men that were
requisite, 1t is not, wonderful that the I'M
mense masses of stone we now see in the
eastern ruins were translated hundreds OF
miles from their quarrics. Religion stimu'
lated the nations in their great zeal to erect
temples grand alike for their architecture ana
their massiveness, and the ruling power
could call out the whole nation to bring tc-
gether material wherewith to build these
TEMPLES.

The semi-weekly Republican. (St. Francisville, La.) 1872-1872, 1872-06-11

The Boston Hr'uM and Boston
,Jouyaal having published n statement
that Mr.. John Greeley, Of London
derry, New Hampshire, lately de-
ceased, said on his death bed
" Horace will never be President Of
these United States he is not the
man 1 know him-he is not the
man." All the children OF the de-
ceased-eight in number-unite in
a card denying that their father had
said anything of the sort concerning
his nephew, and adding, son the
contrary, when he is informed OF
Horace's nomination, he remarked /:
Notwithstanding, / have never been
in political accord with Horace, yet l
think he wo,,ld make a good Presl-
dent. Horace is honest, and If elect
ed, will administer the government
upon constitutional principles, re-
garlless Of party cliques.' He added,
that if Horace has been u Democrat,
his talents and honesty would long
since have been appreciated and
awarded Said he, I have voted
for every Democratic nominee from
Jefferson to Seymour, and in the
present ccnyass, were it policy, l
would prefer q straight Democratic
ticket, but when / consider our polit-
ical situation, ! hope that the Democ-
racy in convention assembled will be
wise to indorse the action OF the Gin
cinnnti convention, and thus save
our t;me-honored party dislntegra-
ton; for said he, i foresec with
/, almost prophetic clearncss, that Hor-
{ ace is the rock on which, if rejected,
], the party will split into fragments
, but if accepted, will build a political
: structure-an elitice as pure, rs
: patriotic, as abiding as that created
l. by Jefferson in 1900.

C.1RPET.BAGHERS.

Ex-Gov. r. G. Wickliffe, in his
letter to DR.. Austen and others ~
undertakes the somewhat laborious
task Of opposing the Hon. Horace
Greeley. The Ex-Governor says
that MIR. Greeley helped to elect the
carpet-baggers. On the same score
might it not be pertinent to ask Mr..
Wicklif1te, who it was that helped to
make Robert G. \Vickliffe Governor
of Louisiana in 1855? Was it not
the good people of Louisiana ? Who
was Mr.. Nicklitfe then !? Was he
not a green carpet-baggger from the
commonwealth Of kentucky. Were
the people Of Louisiana censured
when they elevated MI. Wickliffe to
the Gubernatorial Chair {? No
Then why should Mr.. Wicklife seel;
to berate his brother carpet-bag-
gers? If it was proper in 1856 to
elect a man with I'm empty carpet
bag as Governor, why should it be
such a henious crime in 1872, to
support Mr.. Greeley, who is nc
greater carpet-bagger than Ex-Gov
Wicklif1e I?
Think and ponder over it.
