The Baltimore Convention, the recognized
representatives of the Democratic party as
national organization, did not choose
them. What then shall l do? Shall I,
from mere pride of opinion or because of
personal preference, or from any baser mo-
tive, fail to CO operate with the great mass
of men of my own party and principles to
secure peace and good government to my
country9 Shall vote for Grant, or fail
to vote for Greeley and thus give strength
and success to a party and to men who, as
1 honestly believe, will not give the coun-
try peace and good government? For one,
as a citizen and Democrat, faithful to
the principles of theparty, as [ understand
them, [ have from the first announcement
of the Cincinnati nomination and platform
believed it to be wise and patriotic for
the Democratic party to support Greeley
and Brown. Factions are
not party, nor are parties principles; and
if were less of Democrat than I am,
would not hope to, maintain the bulwarks
of Democracy byyielding support to the
malcontents of the louisville Convention,
who do not, as Isbefieve, represent either
the Democratic partHpr it's principles, but
are, possibly without design, aiding to sub
vert both. 1t would. require more than
the great professional reputation of Mr.
Charles O'Cenor, or The family name of Mr..
John Quincy Adams, even If those two
gentlemen had accepted the dubious honor
of your nomination, to redeem your Con-
vention from the contempt due to great
failure in all that can dignity political
movement, except7a possible power of do
ing harm to the cause it protested to honor
and aid L,as.. --

The Washington Campaign "Patriot.'
We take pleasure in calling attention to
this excellent Campaign paper, which is
the Organ of the National Democratic and
Conservative parties, and published at the
National Capital.
The price of the Weekly is only So per
annum. To clubs of six or more only
$3.50 per annum, while for the Campaign,
or four months, it is furnished to clubs of
six, or upwards, for small sum of fifty
cents. It has thirty-two columns of care
fully-selected reading matter, embracing
editorials, the latest political and domes-
tic news; and, besides, has correct market
reports and miscellaneous news.
We bespeak for it a. liberal patronage;
for, as our only representative party organ
at the National Capital, it should be in
every Democratic and Conservative house
hold, as its cheapness brings it within the
reach of even the poorest. Make up your
clubs and send your lists in.

Democrats have GOOD cause to complair

Democrats have good cause to complain
of the conduct of the negroes in this State.
1t was Democratic Legislature that per-
mitted them to testify in our Courts. 1t
was Democratic Legislature that confer
red on them the right to vote, and it was a
Democratic Legislature that gave pen
sion to the late Samuel Neal, negro man,
and yet the negroes show their ingratitude
to the Democratic party by voting en- ma0sse
with the Radical party which, years ago
might have, if it had been so minded, con-
ferred all the privileges upon the negro
race which were afterwards given to them
by Democratic Legislatures. We are not
bidding for negro votes nor addressing our
remarks to negroes: all we desire to say
is, that in the end, the negroes will pro-
mote their own well being by not confn-
ing their votes to any one of the political
parties of the day, and we think they ought
to have enough of sense to see and know
this themselves.-FTed.U Union.

It becomes the duty of the Officers OF
Registration under their oaths and the law
as construed by Attorney General syester,
to publish the list ofqualified voters regis
tered, together with those who have been
added, those who have died., removed and
become disqualified immediately after thei,
last sitting, and it will therefore be necessary
for those Registers who intend to comply
with the law, to have their lists ready for
the Printer almost as soon. as they close
their last days sitting in October. This
duty the Attorney General says is too clear
and plain, under the law itself, to need any
arpnment. =. -

The Maine Standard, of the 18th inst.
after giving the result of the late election
in that State, says: every unit in the Re-
publican majority represents vote bought
by the money of the administration. Had
no money been used, Maine would Monday
have given Liberal majority of over ten
thousand. But it is not too much to say
that nearly twenty thousand votes were
bought by the Grant managers, who used
money to an extent never before witnessed
or even dreamed of in New England. The
vote must be bought-the price was a
matter of little consequence. The tactics
employed by the "Ring" masters equalled
in unblushing infamy the most shameless
conduct of the old Tammany Ring. Thou
sands of voters were imported who had no
shadow ofright to vote in this State. Men
who had not set foot upon Maine soil for
twenty years were put on the lists and vot-
ed, against the protest ofevery honest man
Washington clerks, Navy-yard employees,
and military gentlemen were sent to Maine
with orders to vote for Grant candidates
orders they dared not disobey." And
yet, after all these appliances had been ex-
hausted, the majority falls fully twelve
thousand behind that given for General
Grant in 1868, which is the only true test.

any political standing will be willing to
make himself the butt and laughing stock
OF the party by allowing himselfto be made
a candidate with as little prospect of an
election as George f. Train or Daniel Pratt,
Jr., "the great American Traveller" If the
honest anti-Greeley Democrats are dealt
with gently and kindly, their own rectify-
ing good sense and sound feeling will unite
them with the other opponents of Grant
before the canvass closes. We shall fight
the closing battle of this campaign with
the united Democratic army, reinforced
by large Liberal Republican recruits in
this State, and very considerable recruits
In many other States. We have on our
side, what we could not have had in a
strict party canvass, such Republican lea
ders as Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull, Fenton,
Upton, Banks, Farnsworth, Palmer, Cox,
and host of like celebrity, and four of
the most able, Jealous, powerful, and wide
ly-circulated Republican journals of the
country. The nomination of Mr.. Greeley,
and the support given him by this great
array of Republican talent, will make it
easy for the multitude of honest Republi-
can voters who have lost confidence in
Grant to break their old party ties. Thou
sands will vote for Greeley who would not
have voted for Hendricks. Instead of the
Democratic party alone, we have the Demo
cratic party plus heavy Republican rein
torcements, supporting a candidate as
thoroughly pledged to universal amnesty,
and as heartily detesting the rascality and
rapacious carpetbag government, as Mr..
Hendricks or Senator Thurman and Ba-
yard. We shall elect with him Democra-
tic Congress, Democratic State Governors
and Legislatures, and Democratic State To-
cal officers; and we may expect a large
proportion of Democrats in the compost
ton Of his Cabinet, and in his promised
reconstruction of the civil service.
The present apparent lull is a period of
preparation. There is great deal of ear
nest work, great deal of hard fighting to
be done. 1t is an advantage to have our
people realize that they are going into
strenuous, hotly-contested battle, and not
into decorated, demonstrative parade
Among our leaders, both Democratic and
Liberal, we have men wise to plan and
stubborn to work and this apparent stag
nation of the canvass, which, considering
its causes, was sure to come, when SPLEEN
did new accessions were no longer daily
announced, is favorable to the success of
the movement whose only real danger lay
in foolish, over-sanguine confidence

On Wednesday morning, says the New
York World of Monday, Mr.. Greeley will
start on Western tour, embracing Pitts
burg, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis,
Louisville, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit,
Toledo, Cleveland, Erie, and the coal-mine
regions of Pennsylvania. He will deliver
a number of agricultural or non-political
addresses on the route, but will by no
means confne himself to speeches of that
character. He will be accompanied by
the members of State committees in each
State, Governor Randolph taking charge
ofhim as soon as he strikes the Jersey shore.
He will be gone over two weeks.

Geneva Arbitration.

The award of the Arbitration at Geneva
is finally announced as $15,50O,O00. Sir
Alexander Cockburn, the English member,
disagrees on the award for the Shenandoah
and Florida, but agrees on the Alabama,
which constitutes the greater portion OF
the sum. The London Times thinks Eng
land not morally to blame, and argues that
because only the Alabama claims were un-
animously allowed the accusations made
against England's friendliness are disprov-
ed ); it cheerfully consents to pay the sum
awarded as lending to obviate similar diff
fculties in the future.

Letter from NIr. EdgertOn.

We find in our exchanges letter from
Mr.. Edgerton of Indiana whose name was
before the Louisville Convention for nomi-
nation for Vice President, which concludes
as follows:
Personally, and as Democrat, would
prefer other men to Greeley and Brown for
President and Vice President. Most Demo-
Gratis could have chosen other men from a.
mong the candidates before the Cincinnati
Convention who would have suited them
better. y i But the people did not
select them. No spontaneous and united
voice of the party or the people called for
them. The Cincinnati Convention, led by
the highest intelligence and ability of the
Republican party, did not choose them

rs AS remedy for Bronchial Affections

Golden Medical Discovery.
The Culture of the Hair.-Just as sure
ly as a soil infested with Canadian thistles can
be made to produce fine crops af golden grain,
the scalp now sparsely covered with harsh, dry,
unmanageable hair can be made prolific of
silken tresses. All that is necessary to effect
the change in either case is the right kind of
fertilizer. Leaving the agricultural chemists
to determine how the barren land shall be
made fruitful, we positively assert that Lyons
Kathairon is unequaled as a fertilizer and beau
tifer Of the hair. Twenty-Five years of success
is the basis of this unqualified statement. Du-
ring that time it has been used by many mil
lions of both sexes, and the first instance in
which it has failed to fulfill the expectations of
a rational purchaser has yet to be discovered.
1t will not cause hair to grow on a vanished
gourd but wherever the roots of the hirsute
fibers remain undisturbed it will cause them to
put forth new shoots, and in all cases where
the hair has become thin it will increase its
volume.

Ohio,

The Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the best
posted political journals in Ohio, says
eve can assure our friends abroad that the
supporters of Greeley and Brown will car
ry this State both at the October and No
vember elections, if there is anthing in in
dications. The change in the German vote
in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton,
Columbus and the Northwest will be more
than sufficient to change the past political
character of the State. Avery large part
of the German vote, so called, has been a
gainst us for years, but now there are few
among them who will touch General Grant
or any of his tickets. This county gave
nearly five thousand majority for General
Grant. twill give that same figure against
him. In many other counties the change
will be equally marked. We have never
in our political experience seen the politi-
cal skies as bright as they are this fall"

Death OF Rev. w. ID. Mitchell.

The following from the Elkton Demo-
GRAFT of Saturday, will convey sad tidings
to many relatives and friends of Mr.. Mitch
ell in this county:
Intelligence reached Elkton on Monday
last, that Rev. Nottingham D. Mitchell,
formerly Rector of Trinity Church, in this
town, but, who resigned about year since
to locate in milder climate, had died in
Florida, of pulmonary consumption. Mr..
Mitchell, at first was much benefited by his
residence in the Gland of flowers" and was
encouraged to accept the care of a parish
there. Rumors reached US, however, sever
al weeks since that his health was again
failing, and finally the last sad tidings
came.
Mr.. Mitchell was young man of decid-
ed promise, a clergyman of fervent devo-
ton, and pastor to whom his flock be-
came tenderly attached. His death will
be sadly mourned by his late charge in
Elkton.
Hon. John Forsyth, veteran statesman,
and the able editor of that sterling Demo-
cratic journal, the Mobile Register, recently
received an invitation from the Herndon
Club, of Mobile, to deliver an address be-
fore that body. Mr.. Forsyth was obliged
to decline the invitation, on account of his
feeble state of health, but, in his letter
communicating that fact to the club, COM
mends Mr.. Greeley as the only man through
whom relief can come to the nation. cit
is simply because Mr.. Greeley has been
what he was, and is now what he is, that
he has the power" and in the contest for
local self-government the Liberal platform
gives as substantial basis for action as
Jefferson himself could have formulated.
Col. Forsyth "marvels at the GOODNESS with
which O'Conor RENTS the South to the
tender mercies of Grants protection for
another four years." scorns the professed
Democratic spirit of the Louisville Con-
vention, and calls upon the Democrats of
Alabama to strengthen Democratic prin-
ciples by their deeds in the fight for Lii
beralism against Grantism. That these
words express the sentiment oftrue South
erners, and that they viii find an echo a.
mong patriots of all sections, mo- one can
doubt.
