That 6 Black.Republicano Club,

The "black- republican club which was
organized at the Court House last Satur-
day night in the interest of Greeley and
Brown, had uphill work. First the Court
House bell was rung but only a few of the
ring masters appeared, who were the bel
ringers intact. The big bell was invoked
again but still its senorous summons was
but feebly responded to. Growing desper-
ate the wire pullers who had arranged the
feast of 'tboiled CROW" for the stomachs of
their old Democratic following, sent out
runners to gather up the band, while the
bell was for the third time violently clang-
ed
The band proved more potent, and its
habitual following were drawn after it.
The music having pretty well filled the
Court House with "little boys and all"
Jas. B. Groome Esq, was called to the
chair.
Like an honest fellow that he is, when it
was in order to appoint committees he
commenced to select from among the tried
and true of the old Democracy, but a sign
and few words from one of the sly old
foxes of that party, stopped such honest
proceedings, and the blushing young Lib
erals" were brought to the front and made
conspicuous, by having "honors" thrust
upon them, which it is hoped by the mana
gers will serve to bind them to the ring
after the Greeley humbug is exploded, and
'The devil claps claw upon Horace Gree
ley with the Tribune under his arm,"
to paraphrase a line of the old song, "The
little tailor boy" The young and bashful
liberals and semi-A5era1s, blushed like timid
brides when about receiving the fateful
ring, when they were called to the front
and made chair men of committees. Poor
fellows, they felt badly enough, no doubt,
when they themselves manipulated by the
old politicians who run this county politi-
cal machinery to the sorrow of tax payers.
The movement in the interest of Greeley
and Brown is transparent sham on the
part of the old Democratic ring OF Elkton.
They believe that Horace's chance of get
ting into the Presidential chair, and his
prospects of getting into heaven are about
even; and his Democratic friends have
never claimed that the Philosopher was a
saint by any means. The secret of the
activity of the party that has plundered
This county and the State for the last five
years, is to recruit their thinning ranks
from the Republican party by pulling
the wool over as many, more honest than
wise, Republicans as possible, SO that they
can maintain. their hold in the future upon
the local offices.
John NJ. Miller Esq, first choice of the
managers for Congress from the Second
District was called upon and took the floor,
but we are without any report of his speech,
not being present and having no reporter
employed. this notice will have to suffice
for the "club.'

FACTS WHICH THE PATRIOT EX-sOLDfERs
CANNOT HELP SEEING.

FACTS WHICH THE PATRIOT EX-SOLD1ERS
CANNOT HELP SEEING.
The men who marched under the starry
flag till Grant led them to their homes in
peace will remember how, in November,
1864, they voted Sin the field" Their
ballots and those of the Republican host
throughot the country then was the grand
est and the browning victory of the war,
convincing the Confederates that the ma
tional resolve was fixed and that to strug-
gle against it was to struggle against des-
tiny. But the bullet of Booth and perfidy
of johnson rekindled the expiring embers
of sedition, which were only prevented
from blazing into contagrations by the
election of Grant in 1864
These Presidential contests are the fate
full battles of the Republic. Any Union
soldier can see the Democratic party now
moving by strategy to conquer the nation
al citadels, and he knows what would be
the result of its success, and sees his conse-
quent duty. The settlements of the war
are the amendments to the Constitution,
requiring appropriate Congressional legis-
lation, and it is madness to look to Demo-
Gratis for such legislation. The movement
of the late anti Union party to win the oon-
troll of Congress must be defeated, not
that the Union is in peril or that slavery
may be restored, but that the fourteenth
and fifthteenth amendments shall not be
practically annuled by hostile majority
in Congress.
This year presents the nations grand
opportunity. The defeat of the Democ-
racy, despite its strategy, will bury it for
ever. The last hope of the reactionists
will have been extinguished. The long
and terrible struggle waged for years at
the polls, transferred to the battlefield and
then renewed again at the polls, will have
been ended. The status established by
the triumph Of the Union arms will have
been finally vindicated, and the word
"acceptance" will have passed from the
lips into the souls Of the Democratic legion,
and there will be peace. Then at last par
ties may organize anew and the great civil
war fade with history, with glory crowniag
its "boys in blue" The attempt to I'M
settle the verdict of the national votes and
arms by defeating .Republicansm and dis
grazing Grant, can never succeed without
reopening new, long. and perilous strug-
gle. fraught with the direst peril.
The patriot eX-solders cannot help see
ing this fact. They cannot be deceived by
the black ISLANDERS hurled at Grant. Every
day puts the situation in clearer light
In battle they have no malice against the
men whom they fought, and in peace they
have no past malice to repent of. no coun-
try which they are capable of humiliating.
no great ex-commander whom they will
sacrifice to calumny.-MissouriD Democrat.

VICTORY IN VERMONT.
Death BIO,c to GreeIeyisnl.

Twenty seven thousand majority is re-
ported for the Republican Governor in Ver-
mont. The Greeleyites counted on great
gains in the Green Mountain State and
itaked their hopes for the Presidential con-
test on the result and now that their defeat
is more disastrous than their opponents
ever hoped for, coalition party must neces-
sarily become utterly demoralized. This
Generalization will be still further aided
by the news from Maine which will be
flashed over the country on Tuesday morn
ing next. The returns from Vermont
show q gain of the election of 1870.
The Senate is unanimously Republican.
The House will have fewer Greeley repre-
sentatives than there were Democrats in
the last Legislature.

Municipal Election in Wilmington.

An election for city officers was held in
Wilmington, on Thursday last over which
the Democracy-we don't hear anything
of "Liberals" there-crowed as in the
case of North Carolina. The. following is
the result:
A light vote was polled, the whole poll
falling off over 400 from last year. Simms,
Democrat, has 70 majority for Mayor. The
City Council stands 12 Republicans to o
Democrats. On test Of party strength in
the vote for inspectors of elections, the
Republicans have 2la majority in the city.

THE STRAIGHT-OUTs.

The Straight-Out Democratic Conven-
ton, at Louisville, on Wednesday last,
nominated Charles o. Conner for President,
and John Quincy Adams for Vice Presi-
dent. We would not at all be surprised
that before October frosts tint the woods
with the many spaugled hues of Autumn,
that the names of Greeley and Brown would
be entirely forgotten, or never more named
as candidates. This would be terrible
retribution, and would verify the words of
the white-hatted philosopher, that Gin
nothing have lived and died its debtor"
To throw Greeley over, and kick him out
of their party and the canvass at this hour
would be a vengeance that has no parallel
on record.
We are sorry that the Straight-Out nom
ination has been made. A defeat of that
old Bourbon party under Greeley would
have been its total humiliation. It's stub
tent again, around the Louisville nominees
but it never can be formidable. Its princi-
pies, dropped in taking up Greeley, for the
purpose of committing fraud, and then
resuming them again., can never be taken
up whole. Time and defeat will soon drive
Old brains and old prejudices to the grave,
and young blood and thought, clear of the
cankerng prejudices of the past, will take
their places, and march forward with a
purer faith and loftier aims. This cam
paign has indeed shown the littleness of
more great men than any other era in our
history, and when it has ended in the tri-
umph of the silent man, confiding in the
strength of the right and the wisdom of
the people, many of the great ones of four
years ago will not have fig leaf to hide
their smallness from the gaze of the world
