From an Occasional Correspondent
MORAvIA, August 80, l672.-Having
traversed several States since leaving
home, stopping over at various cities
and villages, I have enjoyed an oppor-
tunity of learning the prevailing senti-
ment in regard TO the pending national
political contest. Ihave made il a point
whenever thrown into a company of
two, five or q dozen, TO draw out an ex-
preston from which / could discover
the popular feeling. / am gratified in
being able to say that the Greeley and
Brown ticket is popular everywhere. A
great desire is everywhere manifest for
a change in the administration. The
masses, in the smaller villages especial
Iy, are thoroughly disguised with Grant,
and | am assured by many well in
formed in various localities, that Gree
ley viii undoubtedly carry this State in
November. In every town or village
ten &c twenty per cent. of the Republic
cans will vote for Greeley and Brown,
whilst the Democrats will with
but are exceptions support the
ticket. Greeley and Brown clubs
are iOurishing in every township, en-
braciDg among their members many
of the staunchest friends of Grant in
1888. No one can estimate the strength
of the Liberal Republican element in
New York State except he travel
through the interior. This place hereto
fore gave one hundred and twenty-five
to one hundred and fifty majority to
Grant, will now give Greeley a rousing
majority. The friends of Grant are
mum, whilst his opponents are loud
spoken. Nearly all the little country
papers support Greeley, which is a good
index to the popular sentiment. 1
stopped at Louisville, the battle ground
of the Blant. Duncan Democracy, and
talking with the people I found them
unanimously of the opinion that the
Grant Radicals were patronising the
movement, and that the expenses were
borne by them. Everybody ridiculed
the concern, and feltashamed that Ken
lucky should be thus disgraced. How
ever, / found one strong Grant man,
who said that it was a formidable move
ment, and that O'Conor if nominated
would carry Kentucky. / find none but
Grant men who attribute any i'm
pOrtance to the movement. 1t is
gratifying to know that 0'Conor is too
smart to allow himself to become the

playing into the hands of the Grant
party, which would eternaIly politically
damn him. The Democrats and Liberal
Republicans of this State will unite on
him for Governor, and can elect him,
and / am glad to see that be will accept
the nomination if rendered, and it will
be given to him. This would knock the
bottom out ofthe Duncan side-show.
The people manifest a lively interest
in the contest. In fact, they tell me
that such enthusiasm has not been seen
since 1850.
I have enjoyed a splendid voyage,
traversing the most beautiful country,
and witnessing on the way the greatest
wonders of the world. Cleveland and
evince more evidences of COM
mercial and manufacturing thrift and
prosperity than any places on my way.

beautiful little city in all my travels,
Presenting the most Hastily laid-Out

of grass on either side, and I
haded with handsomest trees. l come
to Moravia, the lovely villa in Os-

mountains, from whose sides pour
streams of purest water. The

wholesome counsel and wonderful tests

When they will walk out in open day, at

correspondents of newspapers and

With their own eyes but to bear witness
0 the world of the triumph of the new
