Mr.. Greeley leaves here tomorrow to 60 to
Vermont, to deliver an address on agriculture,
at the State Fair. He will heap Goals of fire
on those Republicans who did not come out
and vote for his candidates for State officers
last Tuesday. After that, Mr.. Greeley will
leave the hide bound Vermonters, and 60
where he advises all young men who dan bor-
row a hundred dollars to go-West. He will de-
liver agricultural addresses, and, If tho people
insist upon 1t, talk a little about politics. There
Is q great Industrial exposition at Cincinnati,
and a visit from him to 1t Is not inappropriate.
It Is Intlmated that if Maine goes heavily
against us today, showing that the Liberal
movement has not made much progress 10 the
East. Mr.. Greeley will take the stump in
Pennsylvania and Indiana until the October
election. AS he is one of the most persuasive
speakers in America, he would. doubtless,
help the cause along by these public appear

fer Presidential candidates to advocate their
own claims 10 election. Douglas stlmped The
country In 1850. and Lincoln. Breckenridge and
Bell also made speeches.. Four years ago, MT.
Seymour spoke In his own behalf In the North

81. Andrews Day, November 80, is to be a
great day tor the S;otohmer In this city.
There will be a turnout of all The Scotch socie-
ties of New York, Brooklyn, Newark, Jersey
City aud the suburbs, and a procession through
the streets to Central Park, where the statue
Sir Walter Scott, which has just arrlved
from Glasgow, will be unveiled. There will
also be- a banquet at Delmontco's In the eve
The statue is of bronze, heroic size,
and an exact counterpart Of that In Edin-
burgh. Sir Waiter Ia represented IN q slttlng
clad in the plaid, with hla dog at his
feet. Central Park Is being rapidly covered
with similar works of art. A proposition has
been made In one Of the Journals that resi-
dents of New York who are natives OF other
States shall club together by States and pro-
cure statues of their representative men Ior
the adornment of the great park. Thus South
Carollniaus could conir butte Calhoun, Ken
Clay, Virglnians Jefferson, 1'ennes-
seeans Jackson. Texans Sam Houston, DC.
Then the eslhetically inclined might give the
park statues OF LoDgfellow, Booth, Powers,
Blerstadt and other art worthless. In time, |
probably, these suggestions will receive serl.
GUS consideration. NYM.
