Gle on the presidential campaign, says,
that whatever else Mr.. Greeley may

The Buffalo Eyening Post, a news
paper which has been Democratic for
twenty-five years, last week hoisted

Mr.. Stanton, the husband Of Eliza

George Francis Tram, in his last
speech, said of Greeley. His white
hat was the receptacle Of all the politi-
cal vermin the Democratic party had
produced, and it was no wonder his
field was blasted when he sowed gum
powder for turnipseed." @
New England stands firmly by the
Republican party. The Boston Adper-
t5ser, in a late issue, says: "Whatever
| decentralization the combined attacks
from Baltimore and Cincinnati may
have caused elsewhere, it has produced
no visible effect in New England.
John F. briggs. the only Republi-
can member of Congress from Michi-
gan who was ever openly and directly
charged with bribery and corruption.
and whose constituency showed their
faith in these charges by turning him

party because it is not moral enough
for him, and joined the party which
has Tammany for its headquarters and
Tweed, Sweeney and Hall for its rep
resentatlVes.

In the course Of consideration of
the associations and tendencies of the
two candidates for the Presidency, the
Albany Evening Journal says: Con
fessedly, the chief pillar of Mr.. Gree
ley's support in New York is Tammany
Hall. Its politicians are managing his
canvass. If he should be elected, his
Administration would be surrounded by
that influence. General Grant is sus-
tanned in this State by the great mass
of those who stood by the Government
through the war, and who won the vic
tory for reform last year. Mr.. Greeley
is sustained by those who sympathized
with the REBELLION and those who up
held Tammany Hall last year in spite
of its exposed rotteness. What more
can honest men ask to guide them than
the contrast of these associations p
The New York Euening Post speak
ing of the Tribme's defence of Greeley
against the terrible exposure of the
Binghampton Republican, says: Not
one word, it will be observed, is there
about Carmichael not one word about
Waldo Hutchins not one word of
discussion of democratic nomination
by reform convention not one word
of talk about pensions 20 rebel soldiers;
not one word of the particular letters
enumerated by dates of correspondence
between Carmichael and Seymour, on
the one hand, and Greeley Hutchins
and Fenton on the other. We repeat,
this sort of thing may serve with the
Tribune readers, who are permitted. so
far as thai paper is concerned, to know
what it is in controversy but it will
not answer for the outside public, who
understand the charge to be that Mr..
Greeley's nomination is the result of
bargain with the Democrats, and that
whoever votes for him votes for the
consummation of that bargain, as we'll

enough - whichever you please to

insane craving to be in Office.
THE GERMANS OF THE VEST
Gov. Oglesby, in one of his late telling
speeches, said: "They talk about our
German citizens. Aye, says a man,
you will get the German vote. You
get the German vote? How dare you
talk about the German vote that way
What right have you. Dem ocrats. to
march mp to me in the streets of Deca
tur, or Chicago either, and set up
claim for the German vote Is Ger

Is German a mere article of traffic !?
Aye, Democrats you don't understand
this German nation-you don't under
stand the German people. They will
submit to many grievances they will
go over many stumbling-blocks before
they will abandon their natural, God
given love of liberty, Of purity and JUS

Greeley. They have been in this Re

stood by it and fought with in the army.
You will find many Germans that think
that they have been neglected that
they have not been treated right, but
