The Jeffersonian Democrat, in speak
ing of Grant, says Tile is not deserv'
ing of half as much execrasion from
Democrats as Horace Greeley, who has
been lifelong, open and bitter enemy to

The wa1st that can be said against Grant,
the man, that while President he
accepted some >giits and appointed his
relatives to Office. BSt even this is moi
SO much his fault as the fault Of the

From Elk Governor Salisbury, ofDeIa-
ware.

At the meeting of the Kent Coun ty
Delaware Convention, on Tuesday, the
18th, letter was received and read from
Ex-Governor, Salisbury dated at Bed ford
Pa, Springs, August 10. The Governor
says:
When an Admin istration in power
uses the patronage and influence of office,
and the funds Of the Government to in
fuence elections in order to retail in power,
there is no security for the future. The
present Federal Administration, or the
party that sustains it, is not only justly
chargeable With this great crime, but, it
is alleged. upon high authority. with the
still greater one of causing repeated re-
visions of the returns Of the late election
in North Carolina, by which the Dem
ocratic candidate was counted out and th e
Republican candidate counted in, with
the view to its influence upon the Presi-
dental election in November Such an
Administration should not only be re-
moved from power by the votes Of the
people, but consigned by history to last
ing dishonor.
