Driven from Greeley.

10 the Editor Of the Nsto York Times.
Having read to-day the speech Of Horace
Greeley at Pittsburg, and being resident
of Virginia and Democrat, had made up
my mind to support Horace Greeley, but
upon reading that speech, have made up
my mind to withdraw my support and vote
for the regular Democl attic candidates, for
there is too much duplicity, deceit and mis-
representation for me to have any more
respect for the garrulous, office.hunting
Democratic slanderer and villlfier Of the
South and Virginia, and now, (when he
wishes their votes,) to insult them with his
villainous spawn Of extraordinary love for
them. All that / will refer to in this con-
nection is what he says of the first families
of Virginia. On page %, vol. L., of his
american Conflict, is the following from his
scurrilous pen:
The early colonists of Virginia were
mainly Adventures of unusually bad typs
-bankrupts, prodigals, genteel spend
thrills, and incorrigble profigates, many
ofwhom had left their native cou TRY for that
country's good, in obedience to the earnest
persuasion Of sherils, judges and juries.
Probably no other colony that ever sue
ceeded or endured was 80 largely made up
of unfit and unpromising materials"
Being born in Virginia and descended
from the foregoing as described by Greeley,
l should consider myself a craven dog
should reward such a villitier of my pr O.
genitors with my vote.
Yours, truly. j. G. SNODGRAss.

The October Elections-The Prospects Il
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana.

reuhsyiSauia, Ohso, anu Ahuiaha
/. Advices from Pennsylvania indicate the
election Of General Hartranft by majority
somewhat less than that which the balance
Of the ticket will undoubtedly obtain. One
of the best informed politicians in the
State writes that he finds no doubt
existing among Republicans that we
shall carry the State for Hartranft.
The organization is everywhere good, and
in many places splendid, and our majority
cannot be less than twelve thousand. The
accounts from Ohio and Indiana grow
brighter and brighter every day, from the
former State particularly. These figures and
speculations are sustained by Hon. VIM.
L. chandler, Secretary of the National Com
mlttee. He is of the opinion that we shall
get such majority in Pennsylvania, out
side of Philadelphia, that Hartranft's cleo
ton is certain and a majority on the bal
ance of the ticket of from 10 900 to 20, 900.
So far as Indiana is concerned. he believes
that Hendricks will be defeated by ma
jority averaging from 1900 to 5000, and
is very confident that the work which will
be undoubtedly done in Ohio from now UNI
til the day of election will give us that
State by majority greater than Republic
cans dare to hope for.
The political prospect is at the present
time more encouraging for Republican vic.
tories all around dhan it has been at any
period since the campaign began. a.
