senator Buckingham or Presi-
dent Grant.

If anything more were needed in vindca-
ton of the Presidents personal character, it
would be supplied by the following from a
speech recently delivered at Stamford, Conn,
by Senator Buckingham, whose temperance
and religious standing is so well known:
"A deal has been said about the habits of
President Grant. 1t will not be possible for
me to prove negative, therefore can't say,
can't prove that the President has never been
under the influence Of intoxicating drinks, but
l will say this, that have seen him and have
been with him on various occasions, pubic
and private, at his house and mine, and
was with him on the Fourth of July, two
years ago. l entertained him at my table, |
went with him to the city of New London.
and there We sat at the public table, where
there was wine. l don't know that he drank
a drop; if he had drank anything of any con.
sequence i should have known it. After din
ner he was suffering very severely with a
headache, and it was difficult for him to meet
his friends and yet he stood for over an hour
to receive their congratulations. went with
him to the steamboat, and afterwards to the
hotel, where, when he retired, he was still
suffering Now, l say this, that he had one
of those periodical headaches which he has
at times, when he cannot entertain men, and
that II Is In consequence OF that people have
gone away and reported that because of his
habits he was unable TO do business. | will
say further, that have never seen him when
he had been any more under the influence of
ardent spirits than our Chairman is now.
will say of the men who are acquainted
with him that never saw one or heard one
say that he had ever seen him under the in
fuence of intoxicating drinks. l say that
these reports in regard to his habits are, in
my judgment, the reports of his enemies.
They are base ISLANDERS. There is nothing in
his habits or character which robs me of my
confidence in him. ! know that he is man
of great integrity, and l don't believe that
there is any reward or favor that you or any
one can bestow that will make him swerve
from the course which is for the best interests
of this republic. l will say further, that l
have never known apublie man who appeared
to be governed less by personal ambition than
L. S. Grant. l say still further that you
may be with him in private and in public, and
YOU will have to be with him more than
have been before you hear him utter one
word in commentator of his services while
general in the army"

Among the other reformers, who now go
for Greeley, may be counted all the members
of James Buchanan's Cabinet, and all the
members Of JEFF Davis Cabinet who are liv-

words, but it could hardly tell more tru tn tsan
when it says: 1.-The campaign, on the part Of
the Greeley organs seems to be one great lie
sustained by innumerable smaller lies"
Mr.. Buckalew, the democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, has not yet de-
clared for Greeley, and it is believed that
such An ayowal would cost him thousands of
votes, so unpopular is the Sage among the
democrats in some portions of that State.
The soldiers and sailors of Connecticut ia
vora6le to the election of Grant and Wilson
have called a convention to meet in Hartford
gates to the Pittsburgh Convention. Four
hundred soldiers sign the call.
Senator Pomeroy, who has just arrived in
Washington from the West, declares that the
Grant and Wilson canvass has within fifteen
days taken a new departure, showing great
vitality and energy, while the Greeey:tes
show corresponding depression.
Col Breckenridge, in a speech at Lexington,
Ky, said: II don't care a picayune for IIor-
ace Greeley or what he has aaid. He repre-
sents the dawn of new era to us, an era that
will restore rs TO power" This is signif-

The Greeley men Of this vicinity have en-
perienced very remarkable moral reforma-
ton within the past month. In May and
June the spirit of gambling was abroad in
their midst They would bet every cent they
owed or could borrow. But recently they
have experienced a change of heart, and there
is hardly one of them now who is not opposed
on principle to betting and wagering on cleo
tions. Their confidence is still mistaken
but their morals are better then they used to
be This is very encouraging Mr.. Greeley
has done a good thing in subduing the gam
bling propensities of the democratic party.

reason to hope for the slightest amelioration
of this condition of affairs9 Will the election
Of Mr.. Greeley inaugurate measures for our
rescue? We answer that there Is CLEAN of
hope, and that his election will give us the
means of escape from a portion of our ills.
We can at least through him secure the con-
troll of the Federal offices and of the army
and navy, and these can all be used for the
restoration of the white race to power in the
South-even in South Carolina and Louisiana
The superiority of the intelligence, wealth,

felt, and, despite of numbers, the people will
recover some portion of their liberties and

MIR. Greeley ana Negro Suffrage.

The Southern rebels are disguised with
negro suffrage and wish to have it re-
moved. They cannot endure the idea
that black man shall be equal with them
at the ballot box. They cherish the op.n-

among other things he is going to do for
them, take away negro suffrage. The

The Louisville EartllOuakc.

The straight democratic convention at
Louisville Is an earthquake under the camp
Of the Greeleyites. 1t shakes the concern
from end to end. SCATTERING whatever
hopes his followers may have had of
electing Mr.. Greeley. They tried to laugh
him, to send forces to get control of the
organization and turn it in Greeley favor,
to break it down by denouncing it as a
scheme of the Grant men, but all their
efforts failed to kill it off. The convention
has been held, was largely attended, has
made its nominations and accomplished
all that it anticipated. Its candidates are
respectable and its platform has the flavor
of democracy which the party admire.
One of the most notable things eonnec.
ted with the convention was the letter of
Charles O'Conor, Mr.. O'Conor is re-
form democrat. He is in favor OF demo-
cratic principles, hut opposed to the Tam
many Hall organization and to the Gree
ley combination. His letter goes over the
ground which he believes the democratic
party should accept. He favors Il strict
construction Of the constitution, keeping
the general government in close limits,
leaving the people as free as possible in
their State organizations and business af-
fairs. annulling the power of the govern
ment to borrow money, and moderate tax
alton for revenue. In short the letter is
democratic to the core, and it is because
he holds to democratic ideas that he says
he cannot support Horace Greeley. The
platform OF the convention is in harmony
with this letter. Mr.. O'Conor declines to
be the candidate of the convention, but
endorses its acts and will give ii a hearty
support.
These nominations will split the demo
cratic party in every State. If supported
with the same spirit which has character
ICED the movement for the convention,
this party will eventually control the dem
ocratic organization, kick the Greeley par
ty out and be the democratic party of the
future. 1t is impossible for the Greeley
men to keep out of sight or to get around
or over the ugly fact that the nomination
of Greeley is exceedingly distasetelul to a
large portion OF the democrats Many OF
them would not sustain him on any condi
tons, but thousands would have voted for
him who will now vote for Lyons and
Adams.
Wehare ii on the best auth ority that many
af The most prominent democrats in Maine
are IN sympathy ariM the Louisville nomi-
nations. They see that Greeley is fail
ure and that those who adhere to him will
be left to sink between the regular demo-
cratic party as represented by those who
support Lyons and Adams and the regu-
lar republican party who support Grant
and Wilson. There is hesitation and doubt
all along the line of the Greeleyites, with
disposition prevailing for each man to
take care of himself A vote for Kimball
IN Maine, however, fastens them to Gree
ley, for Kimball and Uncle Horace were
in alliance from the first and the bond
cannot be broken.
Mr.. Greeley urges all democrats to vote
for Kimball, and Kimball is bound to sup
port him in return. A democrat who
means to keep clear of entangling himself
should not vote for kimbal on Monday.

Manhood Of the Republican
Party.

The Philadelphia North American thinks
the present contest will do great deal Of
good on all Sides Those who have been
parading about for years az the fathers Of
the republican party will find out that the
party is no longer a child in leading
strings--that it has attained the full stature
Of manhood, proved its capacity in the
sternest Of human trials, and it is an in
dependent self-exalted organism. The
great deeds of this party were the work
of many hands, and those who desire the
most credit for them are apt to be entitled
to the least. 1t was the prodigious force
and power and discipline OF the party
that rendered measures successful that
few persons had vainly agitated for years.
Colored suffrage was to Wendell Phillips
as far off dream. But the party wheeled
suddenly into line battle and made 1t
reality. Colored soldiers seemed an i'm
possibility, in consequence of the preju-
dices of race, till Grant cast his sword into
the scale, and hundred thousand black
soldiers marched forth under the national
standard, sustained by the party. What,
then, are the names of few men like
Greeley and Sumner when arrayed against
this party that has done such wonders by
the sheer force of its numbers and disci-
pine? If Sumner had made thousand
more speeches, and Greeley had written
ten times rs much inconsistent rubbish as
he did, the party would still rise triumph
ant"
