Religion and Politics.

"Of Mr.. Greeley it is said he goes to
church on Sabbath, when he reads, say
the London Times, until the sermon
commences. Then he settles into q sleep
which lasts till the service is concluded.
"Gen. Grant is said TO have declared
that he cannot get through a Sunday
without having one Of Petroleum V.
Nasbys letter to read, which exhibits
his moral and literary taste"
"Hon. Henry Wilson is a member Of
an orthodox Congregational church, and
Mr.. Brown is a member of a Presbyte-
ran church in st. Louis"
"lf, therefore, anybody is going to
vote as inhuenced'by the religious char
acter of the candidates, he will not know
how to choose. Certainly thoroughly
religious President would be desirable,
but piety does not produce statesman
ship, nor are the best men always avail
able for high offices"
For whom, then, is the poor euthusi-
asst who has resolved TO govern his poll
tics by his religious convictions, to vote ?
Neither Greeley nor Grant can be the
object of religious admiration. To
this extremity those who wish to mingle
religion and politics; must be reduced at
nearly every election. Statemanship,
and not sanctimoniousness, should be our
rule in selecting men for office.-Obsere-
er and Commonwealth.

The Best Way 10 Advertise.

The best and cheapest mode of adver-
tising in the world is that in the news
papers. Every successful advertiser will
say this. Seed strewn there-if the
seed is good for anything always
brings up crop of some value, most
generally hundred fold. Placarding
the dead walls and showering handbills
among the people are aaxilisH IN ad:
'vertising, but Il is doubtful whether, as
rule, they more than pay the expense,
while there is no doubt that they are
nuisance. The blankets of dead walls
is only disfigured by posters, provoking
in the well regulated mind a sense Of
aversion to the man who so advertises,
the article upon whose exccllencies he
expatiates; while as to hand-bills, moth
ing so prejudices a citizen against going
to see any show, buying any goods, as
the ugly slips of paper thrust at him
from all quarters elOquently recommend
ing him to do those things.-N Y. Jour
nal of Commerce.

How the Radicals Raise their
CampaigE Money.

At recent interview with n newspa-
per reporter, Mr.. Greeley communicated
the following interesting information in
reference to the Governments immense
gold reserve of 500, ,0OO,0 600:
an tell you what the Government is
doing with its immense gold reserve.
They put half million or million in
one National Bank here, and another
there, and As they are not allowed to re-
ceive interest for it, they just 90 about
and ask subscriptions 10 the campaign
fund from these banks, and they sub
scribe to pay the loan. should not
wonder il million dollars were not col
lected in this way, TO further the election
expenses of the Republican party and
buy votes with. The Republican party
under Grant is the most corrupt party
on earth. They live on pickings from
the Custom-houses, Treasury, and inn
poverished South. The Southern States
are filed with carpet-baggers, who steal
anything they can hey their hands upon,
and never even make any report TO the
Treasury"

A Worthy Congressman.

It does one good, to find, amid so
much fraud and rascality, man who
can exhibit true manhood and patriot
ism. Read what az M. c. did about
a vacancy in our Naval Academy.
Col. w. Il. Roberts, Representative of
the Fifth Congressional District in New
York, has recently done worthy thing
for member of Congress to do. There
was vacancy in the Naval Academy,
and he offered to recommend to fill the
place the boy who would pass the best
competitive examination. At the day
appointed, some thirty boys presented
themselves. Most of them were the sons
of rich parents, anu they came TO the
City Hall well dressed, ard some Of them
in carriages. Behind them came poor,
ragged Irish news boy, named Johnny
O'Keefe, but ordinarily known as the
ragged buffer" or the "wharfrat." A
large number of the boys were ruled out
on account of disqualilications, but
johnny, who had braved all the storms
since he was six years old while selling
newspapers ON the street, and when his
only amusement consisted in climbing the
rigging of vessels in port, diving from
yard-arms of ships and swimming under
their hulls, was of sound body. He
showed himself to be of sound mind too,
and of studious habits; for he passed the
best examination by far of any of the
applicants, and was, with one accord, de-
ciared most worthy Of the place. They
call him the young Admiral now, but he
keeps on selling papers, and will continue
to do so until the school year opens.

We clip the following manly defense
4 Mr.. Greeley from his colleagues
Frankfort speech. Read It.
In regard, however, to the distinguish
ell statesman, Mr.. Greeley, who has been
presented for the Presidency in opposi-
ton to General Grant, have no such
hestancy in speaking. Criticism and
caricature have dealt freely with his
kindly face and honest bearing. The
very garments that he wears, innocent
perhaps of the latest fashion, but yet Of
good account with all their homeliness,
have been derided as ecccntricities. His
tastes, which flow out toward the field
and the forest in relaxation Of the over
worked brain, are held to be proofs of
strange and fitful organization. Even
his persistent adhesion to conviction in
the face of calumny, his generous SYM
pathy with the unfortunate in all lands;
his advocacy of unpopular principles; /;
his failure to profit by his politics; his
unimpeachable life, are held by some to
disqualify him for the Presidency. In
reply to all this, let me submit a few
words.
But, strange as II may seem, this is
one of the instances in which caricature
has lost its power to wound, and criti-
cism fails to work depreciation. The
people recognize one of themselves-one
who has led life of toil-one whose en-
ergies have all been devoted to their SER
vice-one who has been unswerving in
his free faith--one clear to discern the
truth, fearless to confront error, and yet
a heart tender toward misfortune as any
woman's. Abuse and ridicule will only
endear such a character more and more
to the sympathy of the nation.
But this is not ALL In the great quail
ities of intellect, in wide and extensive
knowledge, in familiarity with the work.
ings of our government, with the history
Of It's great leaders and the annals Of its
great achievements, he is the peer of any
in the land. He has been for thirty
years a close and careful student of each
successive administration at Washing
ton. He has had exclusive control of
one of the greatest organs of public
opinion this country has ever known, and
no great measure Of public policy has
ever passed that did not receive from
him impress or elucidation.
1t is said that he is changeable, and
therefore uncertain; but of all the pub
lie men we have had, his record alone
has been almost without sign of variance.
1t is said that he is no statesman; and
yet none of those who have tried conclu
sions with him in public discussion will
he found to credit it. He has put a head
ION more statesmen than would stock 9
Congress. 1t is said he is easily impos
ed upon by worthless persons, and ye
the circle of his friendships embrace
the best, the wisest, and the most cultur
ed men of the nation. But it has nev
er yet been said of him, by friend or foe
in his long life of trials and temptation
that he was not honest. His word onc'
pledged, that he will be true to it yol
may rest assured; and having given hi
promise of adhesion 10 the noble plat
form of principles that received sucl
unanimous ratification at Cincinnati an,
Baltimore, you may be very sure of hi
keeping the faith.

extracts, to-wit:

"Horace Greeley Is lifelong aboli-

crat.'
"IToracc Greeley earnestly desired to
see the colored men have n right to vote,
while Gen. Grant was on the other side. "
"Gen. Grant refused to permit the
colored statesman, Fred Douglas, to dine
at his table"
"Gen. Grant did not support the Civil
Rights Bill--Greeley did,
"Gen. Grant is guilty of nepotism,
neglect of public duty, absenteeism, re-
payment Of gifts by official patronage,
military rule over the civil, disregard of
the constitution ard law, unftness for
office and indignity to the colored race /;
and therefore he is unworthy of the sup
port of Republicans.
"Greeley has, among his supporters,
in all parts of the Union. devoted and
consistent Republicans, who have always
been true to principle"
"Greeley has, hocking to his support,
large numbers of Republicans who are
tired of Grants misrule."
"The Democrats have adopted, in good
faith, the Republican platform"
The election of Greeley will not be a
Democratic triumph, but Republican
victory gained by the aid of Democratic
allies"
"Greelcyis the true friend to the col
ored race"
"Unquestionably, Grant deserves i'm
peachment for high crimes and misde
meaners, rather than a denomination.

Liberalism.

The following, from Governor Browns
speech, will define what is meant by Lib
eralism:
Regarded, therefore, in the light of
its origin, of its growth, and of its pres
ent development, Liberalism gives assu-
rance of three things that it will be well
TO recognize at the outset:
First-That il is neither responsible
for nor connected with the past resent
ments and collisions that have prevailed.
Its departure takes no note of former
differences, either of persons or parties,
but rests alone upon its outlook. Its
union is that Of many diverse minds,
none of whom feel responsible for the
opinions Others may have entertained
hitherto, because they all have common
faith and purpose in the present.
Second-That il is honest in the effort
to attain the objects set before it; for men
Of no previous concert, and separate party
attachments, could not be brought to-
gether by voluntary impulse, except with
sincerity of purpose. The very fact of
their union is thus absolute proof of tidel-
ity to professions.
Third-That the movement being with
out antecedents, must be judged of solely
and exclusively by its own action in the
present and its own emphatic declaration
of purpose in the future. There are no
false professions or unfulflled promises
behind il; there is no scandalous record
to be apologized for; there is simply its
pledge for the time to come. Ii must be
tried by its platform"
GRANTS MACHINERY.
From the same speech We clip the fol
lowing:
Furthermore, consider that the whole
army of place holders in the Northern
States are being drilled year by year
more and more into a body Of personal
retainers rather than free-thinking Amer
lean citizens, and some idea may be had
Of the magnitude Of this machinery
which is brought to bear for controlling
the vote OF the people. From the vii
lage postmaster 20 the head Of the bu-
reau you will find no one daring to dissent
from any policy the President may insist
upon. The independent thinkers have
all fed the service, for the service does
not admit Of independent thinking"
