ORwELL.-Well, the Baltimore Con.
ventiou has come and gono into history,
and some of our people who were inclin-
ing toward Greeley before, are beginning
to iecol. They can't see the issues, as
they now stand, 10 any other light than
straight Democracy or Republicanism
The question now before the country is,
which will you have, the rule which pre-
served the country when it was in peril,
or the government which inaugurated
secession and brought upon US all our
woes? One who was a Greeley man
three weeks ago, said that he feared
should Greeley be elected, that the coun.
try would see lively times in less than ten
years
The haying season is right upon us,helT
scarce, wages high, and almost no end to
the lightning, thunder and rain.
