Judge Stephen ]. Field, OF the United
States Supreme Court, has declared that he
cannot support Greeley and Brown. He Is
one Of the leading Democrats OF the coun.
try, and has much influence, especially In

tWHany Bingham, OF New Hampshire,
iustihes his support for Greeley by saying:
"Horace Greeley is pledged to do, and will

would require one Of their old and tried lead

speech, September 10, 1872, as reported in
Associated Press dispateh: "I demand
that there shall be open, free discussion be-

est, unterrihed and unconstrained vote they
prove that the people Of the South say they
want disunion, ItCW consent to it,"
wJudge stallo, of Cincinnati, seys of
Greeley's logic "H He has a form of syllogis-
tic reasoning ntirely his own, his syllogism
| consisting of q broad assertion of the thing
| to be proved as The major premise, ringing
| imprecation as the minor, and bold charge
of venality or idiocy against his antagonist

that Colfax, or Kelly, or Patterson, or Bout

sSy-A wealthy citizen of Hartford, Ct, au-
thorizes the Courdnt to make the following
proposition: 81 will bet 5000 that General

~ What would be the effect of Mr.. Gree

9-The ARdntic for October says: "With
President Grant the country has at least an
assurance of tranquility. 1t will not be lift
ed to a state of perfection, but it will incur
no new peril The Administration of Grant
will make no rash experiments on our finan-
ces and our dangerously expanded currency.
The public credit will be safe. The country
will have security from foreign wars, fill
clustering attempts and domestic violence.
The constitutional Office OF President will
remain intact, to be used to protect the pub

growing out of the war"

e7g- The Baltimore Greeleyites, having
J succeeded to the rowdyism with which that
city is plentifully endowed, employed one OF
their peculiar political arguments on Sun

soldiers and sailors, who were en- route from
Washington to the Pittsburgh Convention,
in passing from depot to depot, were as
sailed by the roughs with stones, brickbats

several were more or less injured. When the
soldiers turned on the roughs, the latter flee
