IT is a remarkable fact that there
are really but two keynotes in this
campaign for President. The Grant
ties rely almost entirely upon denun-
citation of the South, and everybody
associated with Democrats. The
Greeleyites, on the contrary, preach
the gospel of reconciliation and good
will. GRANT means hate, GREELEY
peace. Every prominent Republican
that comes out for GREELEY, gives as
their reason for doing so, that they
are for reign of peace to come,
which alone be brought about by
GREELEY.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1850-1873, 1872-08-16
GRANT says that it was with grea

GRANT says that it was with great
reluctance that he consented to
become candidate for reelection,
and that he would not have done SO
under any consideration, except as a
means of testing the amount of con-
fidcnce the people had in the libels
that had been hurled at him; and
he simply wants his personal charac-
ter set right by an endorsement of
the people. lie is brute enough to
be willing to infiict the nation with
his magisterial incumbency another
four years, simply to vindicate his
personal character. GRANTS idea
of redeeming his character is good
one if reelection were certain; but,
ULYSSES! ULYssEs!! beware of the
day when GREELEY shall meet thee
in battle array.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1850-1873, 1872-08-16

Four years ago GRANT said, "Let us
have peace" lie has had entire con-
troll of the country nearly presi-
Dental term, and has given what he
meant by "peace." He meant the
peace which reigned in Warsaw af-
ter the life of nation had been
crushed out by Cossack soldiers the
peace brought by manacling the hands
of liberty the peace which succeeds
death. 1t was the language of an
astute and relentless soldier. To-day
we have the language Of an honest
civilian, HORACE GREELEY, LET us
shake hands across the bloody chasm
made by the war;" This is II vague,
unmeaning language of a designing
despot, with hate in his heart. No, il
is the language of friendship, magma
nimity, Kindness, and will bear good
fruit. HORACE GREELEY has proven
to the South. in practical manner,
and ON many occasions, the sincerity
of his professions, and GRANTS every
action has shown the kind of peace
he promises. He recently paid
S75, 100000 of the peoples money, for
old Confederate documents, which
he is using as campaign documents,
TO secure his reelection, by reopen
ing the old wounds of the war, and in
flaming the passions of the North
against the South. GRANT is preach
ing the doctrine of hate, for upon
that platform alone can he even hope
20 make the northern people forget
the many sh ort-comiugs ofhis admin
istration.

Among the good stories told at the
expense of Mr.. Greeley's chiro.
graphy is this: Years ago, when q
young man, he received q poem from
a young lady in Vermont. He
strongly suspected that all poetry

did not square at both ends, and
IS this particular poem did moi
come up to his peculiar me-
chanical standard for such literature
ne threw it into the waste basket and
wrote to the author that he thought
she would do better to marry the
first honest man that offered her hit
hand, and mend his hose and tend
his babies, than to rack her brain in
trying to write rhymes that nobody
would read. The poor girl received
the cruel letter, but could disci
pher only the writer's. name. She
showed it to her mother, and sh too
was nonplussed. A council of in
quiry was held over the strange doc
ument, which was finally interpreted
as q proposal to marry the gifte(
author of the rejected rhymes. Aftel
some inquiry into the character o
MIR. Greeley, the proposal wac &C
cepted, greatly to the surprise of the
young editor, who was 80 mucf

From the Fredericksburg Star

FROM the FREDERICKSBURG Star.I
During the war large number o
our old citizens were arrested by
order of Gen. Grant and incarcerateC
in Fort Delaware, and held as hos
tages for a number of sick ant
wounded Federal soldiers, who hai
been cantured in this place by {
party of Confederates. Mr.. Alex
ander Lang, a citizen of Fredericks
burg, who was then in New York
and who is now upon q bed o.
affection by reason of an accident
which befell him about twelve
months ago, informs us that he got
up a petition for the release of Our
imprisoned citizens. He succeeded
in getting a number of signers in
Washington city and New York.
He called upon Mr.. Greeley at his
office in New York city, whom he
net with hat on and cane in hand,
preparing to leave for the day his
place of business. Upon presenting
the petition to MIR. Greeley, and also
I letter from one of Mr.. Greeley's
warmest friends, the old sage of
Chappaqua very naturally inquired
what it meant. Mr.. Ling simply
requested him to read the letter and
he would see what he desired him to
10. After reading the letter Mr..
Greeley called for pen and ink, and
without asking single question
signed the petition for the release of
our citizens, remarking at the same
time, "Well, l know they are all
rebels, yet l see no reason why these
old men should not be released"

In 1868 Grants majority, in q poll
of nearly six million votes, was only
3O9,5S8. Two States, Massachusetts,
and Vermont, contributed one-third
of this. In the South the reconstruc-
ton machine was at work, and gave
the Republicans nearly all Of the
" Estates lately in rebellion The
dominant party at that time was
united and its nominee was q popu-
lar favorite. The Democratic party,
on the other hand, was ill-organized-
was out of public confidence and es-
TEEN, and was led by candidate
who had not the faculty of arousing
the enthusiasm of the masses. The
leading newspapers of the country
were Republican. But two or three
journals of note, and these of that
second class, supported Seymour
The German vote was very nearly q
unit for Grant. Even the Irish vote
was divided. The old war feeling,
with its delusive peace signals and
false catch-words, inspired the Re-
publicans. The Democracy had all
the dead weight to carry gri
Observe the change which q few
years of maladministration have
wrought in the political situation.
The Republican party, having full
filled its mission, has separated into
Liberals and Radicals. The Demo-
cratic party has exhausted the re-
sources of Intellectual, factious oppo-
sition to the inevitable; hss accepted,
finally and in good faith, the logical
consequences of the war. The ad-
ministration party is reduced to the
one-man principle and the One-man
power. The party of the people,
swoll en- by the union of the Demo-
Gratis and Liberals, embracing the
great body of the foreign vote. In
1868, the three most Influential and
widely circulated newspapers which
supported Grant were the New York
Tribune, the Chicago Tribune, and
the Cincinnati Commercial. The sc
now support Greeley. In 1868, the
most powerful orators of the Repub-
lican party were Schurz, Sumner, and
Trumbull. These are for Greeley.
In 1868 the most impracticable and
indiscreet Bourbons, such as Toombs.
and Wise, were loud-mouthed in
their advocacy of Seymour. They
are now sullenly the opposers Of
Greeley. ....
What does this all mean?

like of which has not been seen since

1t means tie election of Horace

The report from the dead letter
Office reveals startling amount OF
epistolary carelessness. OF nearly
three million letters, sixty-eight
thousand could not be forwarded
for the reason that the name of the
county aud state were left out of the
direction; four hundred thousand
were unstamped, and more than three
thousand were mailed with no direc-
ton at all. And, strange to say, these
letters contained money orders to the
amount of two millions of dollars.

NORTH Carolina has gone radical
by about 1000 majority. The Dem
ocrstic papers of that State are loud
in their complaints of election frauds
perpetrated by the administration
narty; and are demanding that the
Legislature haV the whole matter
investigated. The best informed
Democrats contend that several
thousand illegal votes were cast. In
some counties the number of votes
cast was larger by several hundred
than the number Of names on the
registration. books. Scores of col
ored boys from nineteen to twenty
years of age voted in every county.
This election furnishes further evil
dences of the corruption and dis
honesty of the Grant party. 4

SUPPORTERS of the administration
party have great deal to say about
the economy ofthe present Presiden-
tial incumbency, and are never tired
oftelling how many millions the ma
tional debt is reduced annually, I'M
der GRANT. The country is being
flooded with campaign documents,
showing that the present regime has
been, from financial and economic
cal point of view, a wonderful sue
cess. As unmistakable evidence of
the frugality of the party in power,
we will cite one incident, and we
get the facts from the Jackson Wing
and Tribune: '-'.
at considerable expense of the
government, the Post Office Depart
ment is keeping up the luxury of a
negro Mail Agent one the Mobile
and Ohio r. R., to the disgust of
the officers of that road and the Sc
rious inconvenience of the people.
The negro is utterly ignorant and in
competent, and under the spurious
plea of protecting him from violence
three soldiers accompany him each
trip, and discharge the duties of his
office for him. The negro is paid a
hundred dollars a month to ride up
and down the road and do nothing,
while the soldiers get S13 per month
for waiting ON him. And this is all
done to flatter the negro race, and to
insult decent white men. -

FARNswoRTH, one of the most in
tellectual and influential Republicans
in Congress, has come out for
GREELEY. He gives as his reason
for doing so, that GRANT is failure
as a statesman, and that he has great
confidence in Honest HORACE
GREELEY. When such men as SUM-
NER, BANKS, and FARNswoRH, come
out against the regular nominee of
their party, it indicates how the
great mascot the Northern people,
who look upon them as leaders,
will act.
