Political Paragraphs.

Hon. Lawrence Weldon, the Liberal
nominee for Attorney General of Illinois,
has declined the nomination, and in his
letter expresses no sort Of sympathy with
the movement with which his name is
identified.
Ye Ancient Mariner, Gideon Welles,
has been heard from on the political sit
Iaticn. He starts out emphatically with
the obvious truism that, ST would be
difficult to find more disagrccabie and
Objectionable candidate than Horace
Greeley" and then sails out into foggy
dissertation, the purport of which Is,
anybody to beat Grant"
The Buffalo Express having pleasantly
alluded to the Fifth Avenue Alright
Conference, the N Y Commercial is
moved to respond ave feel sanguinc
that no person who caught g glimpse of
the sidcb0ard in the conference room at
the time Of the adjournment, could
possibly mistake it for that kind Of d
tight"
In illustrating their enthusiasm for
their candidate, the Greeley men seem
partial to medical terms and forms of cx-
preston. Thus, Virginia admircr of

country; common allusion to him is as
bitter "pill' or "dose," and the speakers
at the Fifth Avenue Conference spoke of
MI. Greeley as az "emctic," &c.
A Detroit man notifies the Fyef Press
of his intention to vote for Mr.. Greeley,
for the the following reasons, 1. Upon
the occasion of a slight difference of opin-
ion between my party and II. G., he said

and "afllnitics."

Horace White on Greeley.

The Chicago Tribune is the most
prominent Journal in the West adj
vocating the election Of Horace
Greedy, and like nine-tenths of his
supporters is compelled in SO doing
to give the lie to its former opin-
ions regarding his fitness for official
position. A fair estimate of the
honesty and consistency Of its pres
cnt partisan position may be gath
cred from the following opinion of
Mr.. Greeley, expressed by Horace
White, the present editorin-chiet Of
the Tribune, in 1866:
"Horacc Greeley is not now, and
never has been, man who ought
to be trusted with an official posi-
ton requiring practical wisdom,
ordinary craftsmanship, or firm,
consistent action. For twenty-five
years he has been marplot in
council, an unreliable commander in
action, misanthrope in victory and
riotous disorganizer i'll defeat
He has always been fanatical in his
demands for the EXTREMIST meas
urcs, and when the party has
reached the eve Of triumph, invari
ably thrusts himself forward as Il
negotiator of terms of surrender to
the enemy. His course during the
war was but repetition of his
course in politics. In 1861 he was
an open defender OF secession; he
changed to a vigorous champion of
the war, and thereafter was forever
recklessly making proposals for
peace and as recklessly withdrawing
them--making war in spite of Mars
and negotiating in spite Of Min
| erva.
"For twenty years he has been an
uncomprolnising advocate for a
square fight with the pro-slavery
party, and when that kind of a fight
was forced upon the Republicans,
in 1860, he was here in Chicago,
voting not for Lincoln nor for
Chase, but for Edward Bates, Of
Missouri, one of the fossils of the
slave party. He was then the asso-
ciatc and co-laborcr Of that other
impracticablc and unreliable squad
the Blair family. The country at
this time wants no inspired harle-
gums iii the national councils
Still less does it want men with
craftsmanship so microscopic that
they can see nothing in public bust
ness but the mileage and per diem
OF their fellow members. If Mr..
Greeley is not satisfied with his po-
sition as a Journalistic position
which ought to be equal in point of
influence, power and dignity, to that
of six average Senators-and if the
Republicans of New York want to
do something for him, let them
make him State Prison Inspector,
or even Governor; anything that
will not make the outside Of the
State responsible for his follies."

trust that every wounded
soldier, every widow and orphan,
and every freedman of the land will
cry aloud to their patriotic brothers
from now until after the election,
not to allow the destinies of their
country to pass into the hands OF
those who tried to destroy, and who
may to-day be ready to do the deed
as when they attempted it., only
waiting the opportune moment. And
in confirmation of this view l may
say to you that not over two months
ago was travelling with an unre-
constructed U. S. Senator, who, in
answer to the question put to him
by me, stated that the South were as
ready to-day to strike for indepen-
dence as they were on the day they
fired on Fort Sumpter, and that if
our government got into war with
England, and England would furn-
ish five hundred thousand muskets,
he would find in the South five hun
drcd thousand shoulders to carry
them; and this may be an explana-
ton of why it is that the Democracy
are so axious that there should be a
rupture between England and the
United States.

Judge Williams for Congress.

The Clermont Peoples Paper,
heretofore non-political journal,
in it's issue Of last week, takes its
departure from that character to
the extent of suggesting as candi-
date for Congress in the Third
District, gentleman well known,
and deservedly popular, Judge E.
II. Williams, of Clermont. We
have also been permitted to peruse
a circular issued from the office of
the Peoples Paper and signed by
D. G. Goodrich, it's editor, designed
for private circulation, and devoted
to the same purpose of placing
Judge Williams on the course rs
candidate for Congress. If any
evidence were lacking that the sug-
gestion of his candidacy in the
Peoples Paper was without his
knowledge or consent, it is furnish
ed by the circular referred to-
While the latter Graves the cooper.
alton of the parties to whom it is
sent in the effort to place the Judge
squarely before the public as
"peoples' candidate for Congress-,
it at the same time expresses appre-
hension that the Judge, who is SEN
sitive on such matters, may refuse
to accept the position. Mr.. Good
rich frankly says that he does not
know how Judge Williams stands
on the Presidential question, but
that both Liberals and Democrats
indorse him. The suggestion will
occur to many Of those who receive
Mr.. Goodrich's circular that it
would have been more appropriate,
in matter SO important, if he
had more fully informed himself as
to Judge Williams wishes and pc.
sition, before assuming to speak for
him.
We cordially indorsc all that the
Peoples Paper has to offer regard
ing the high character and ability
Of Judge Williams, his influence
and Identification with the interests
of the District. These avc well
known and will hardly be question
ed by anybody, but we have the
very best of reasons for believing
that not only will Judge Williams
not consent to allow the use of his
name in connection with the Con-
gressiopal nomination, but will give
a cordial and hearty support to Mr..
Donnan.

not nevertheless swallow the miscr.

the Greeley press regarding the
danger to result from the reelection

Fer Congress.

The selection of candidate for
Representative in Congress in this
District is beginning to be agitated
by the press of both political organ
izations. The Democratic papers
are INDUCING in their usual game
of brag over anticipated capture OF
the District by means of a conglom-
crate Observation-Disclosures
candidate. Whether the incongru-
Gus elements Will he able to unite
OH the particular man for such can
didacy is yet a problem OF the fu-
turc. The names already mentioned
for the empty honor are Richards,
O'Donnell. Stoneman and Thomas
Updegraff. The lasti S a Republican
ola ccrtain--or rather, an uncertain
sort, who has a grievance III the
fact that the Republicans have here
toforc failed to recognize his super
eminent qualifications for Congress.
1t is hardly probable that the Dem
ocrats will be more apfreciaflVe'
for as they will furnish ninc-tenths
of the stock in trade of the picbald
combination, and have consented to
swallow Greeley, they will natural
iy regard the Congressional nomi-
nation as their legitimate spoil.
The Republican situation is less
complicated. So far as it has found
utterance the sentiment OF the ke-
publican press Of this District is al
most unanimously favorable to the
denomination of the present mem
Der. Mr.. Donnan, and there is no
room for doubt that this is the wish
of the Republican masses. These
expressions of preference are inva-
riably accompanied by reasons
which reflect the highest honor up-
on Mr.. Donnan.
The precedent of tw o terms IS not
given prominence in any case, but
the claim for his denomination is
based entirely upon the able
and honorable record he has
already made in Congress. 1t
is undoubtedly true that few new
members have during their first
session secured the influence and
the consideration among the older
members Of the House rs that at
tanned by Mr.. Donnan. A member
Of the Military committee, he was
virtually its chairman, presenting
nearly all its business TO the House
and taking upon himsclfthe defense
of its recommendations. In the de-
bates incident to this business, hav-
ing thoroughly mastered every de-
tail Of his subject, he was almost
always successful, and many times
gained his point against the voter
ans of the House. In short, he has
developed the same qualities OF
downright hard work and conscien-
tious devotion to his duties which
made him so useful a member OF
the Legislature. The people OF the
District, not slow to recognize ster-
ling qualities like these, are well
content to return him to his place
for another term. lie will undoubt-
cdly be nominated without serious
opposition, and be elected triumph
antly.

ELEGANT EXTRACTS.
What Horace Thinks of tho Democrs-
tic Party.

The Democratic party think SO
much of Horace Greeley that they
have nominated him as their can
didatc for the Presidency with Il
unanimity never accorded to men,
her of their own party: 10 show
how this regard is rcciprocated we
append the following fragrant
bouquet of choice extract taken at
random from his writings:
"Evcry one who chooses to live
by pugilism or gambling or harlotry
with nearly every keeper of tip
pling-house, is politically Demo-
crat. "-Horace Greeley.
eff there were pot newspaper
nor a common school in the country,
the Democratic party would be far
stronger than it is. ''-Horace Gree
ley.
"The essential articles Of the
Democratic creed are 'loye rum
and hate niggers.' The less one
learns and knows the more certain
he is to vote the regular ticket from
A to zzard."-Xorace Greeley.
awe thereupon asked our contem-
porary to state frankly whether the
pugilists, blacklegs, thieves, burg
lars, keepers Of dens ofprostitntion,
etc. ctc.---werc not almost lthani-
monsly Democrats. "-Horace Gree
ley.
"To smoke is o Democratic yir-
the, to chew is that virtue intcnsi-
fed; to drink rum is that virtue in
the supcrlatiyc, "-Xorace greeley.
"a purely selfish interest attaches
the lewd, ruilianly, criminal, and
dangerous classes to the Democratic
party. "-Xorace Greeley.
"This would amount to six in a
bed, exclusive of any other vcrmin,
for every Democratic couch in the
State of New York, including those
at Sing Sing and Auburn, "-Xornce
Greeley
"Thc brain, the heart, the soul of
the present Democratic party is the
rebel element at the South, with its
Northern allies and sympathizers.
1t is rcblc at the core to-day-It
would come into power with the
Aatc, the chagrin, the wrath, the
morfif cation Of ten bitter years to
impel and guide its stepas-What-
ever chastisement may be deserved
by our natural sins, we must hope
that this disgrace and humiliation
will be spared us. "-Horace Gree

Ex-senator DOoLITTLE, on be-
ing installed as chairman OF the
Baltimore Convention, made a
speech, addressed to the country as
well as to the body over which he
presided, in which he said that the
coalition between "threc millions of
Democrats and perhaps one million
of Republicans" is not q union on
dead issues; and went on to say that
the issue is not OH the repeal of the
Missouri compromise, nor the ques-
ton of slavery in the territories,
nor the Lccompton constitution, nor
secession, nor the war against re-
bcllion, nor the abolition Of slavery,
nor on reconstruction, nor universal
suffrage. "All these" said the arch
demagogue and renegade, with a
magnificent flourish, 'Fare past
They have been fought out and
fought to the end" and arc no longer
in the way,
But he failed to remind his hear
crs that on ali the above issues the
Democratic party fought on the
wrong side, was ANONYMOUSLY
beaten, and had the seal of condem-
nation irrevocably placed upon it
by the intelligent voters Of the
country. TO have mentioned this
fact would have invited too close an
examination OF tho present designs
of that party, and would have s'ig:
gested too obviously the false and
dishonest character of the issues on
which it again attempts to grasp
the reips of power. That the issues
enumerated have been fought out
and in every instance settled accord
ing to the principles Of justice and
humanity as represented by the Re-
publican party, despite the malig-
nant protests and opposition Of the
Democratic party, is very potent
reason why honest men and patriots
should distrust its present attitude
of pretended regard for equal rights
and good government,
The Democratic party has the
best of reason for wishing the coun-
try to forget or ignore the past, and
it's Understanding determination to
make the canvass on live issues will
bc appreciated at Its true value
The timc WIS when it was proud
to refer to its past record. Its bat
ties were fought retrospcctively,
and its followers inspired by the
glorics Of its grand history. But
now that it is reduced by reason of
the infamy of its later career to the
necessity Of hiding its deformity
behind the candidacy Of a man who
was, and is yet for anything that he
has recanted, Its bittercst and
most contemptuous foe, it naturally
finds its chiefest inspiration in the
future, Forward in its path lies
the hope of power and spoils, won
by trickery and indirection; behind
it is nought but the black catalogue
of its crimes.
