MR.. WILSON, TIE JEWS, AND TIE KNOW
hO1HINGS

Mr.. Wilson has been informing the people
of the West that during his twenty-seven years
of public life he has made at least 800 speeches;
that he has written "hundreds" of newspa-
per artcles-that his speeches and articles If col
lected and printed would fill at least twenty vol
umes in 8vo.-but he did not state whether be
meant large or small Syo, nor the number of
DID. which each volume would contain. How
ever. he did say that during his whole
yoluminous and vOciferous career he
has neither spoken nor written a
word which he is not willing to have
canvassed, or which he regrets, except indeed
the little passage in which he alluded to SEN
ator BENJAMIN as belonging to that race that
"scorped the Prophets and crucified the Re-
"deemer of the world" These would be the
only lines in the Complete Works of Henry
Wilson, in Twenty Octave Volumes, Edited by
Himself which publishing he would wish to
blotl He asseverates that "as God is his
Judge" he never dreamed that "any Jew in
"this country would feel hurt by them" In
deed, Mr.. Wilson thought, we suppose, that
every Jew would feel highly charmed by his
polite personal expressions, and proud to be
mentioned, even contemptuously, by such n
great man. lie has found out his mistake,
and so he conveniently calls God to witness
that when he spoke of the race that "cruci-
"fied the Redeemer' all he meant was that
" q race that had been persecuted for years in
Europen was freely tolerated in America !!
The explanation is a clumsier blunder than the
original Olfense.
Mr.. Wilson wants it understood that he was
n Know-Nothing without being Know
Nothing at all ; and that he "loathed tho idea
"Of opposition TO foreigners because they
"were foreigners" This is another of the
nice little lodges which the Senator knows so
well how to employ. Why doesn't he explain
how he happened to be q Know-Nothing at
ALI He will not deny, we suppose, at this
time of day, that ho was regularly initiated
member of the Order-he will not deny it, be-
cause he has often admitted it, He took all
the oaths, the votes, and the general support
of tho Know Nothings-he worked hard to get
admitted to the glorious privileges of the So
cety-rejected by ono lodge, no had better
luck with anothor-he accepted tho Senatorshlp
as his share Of tho spoils; and now. whom

TIE TRAITORS AND THE TRUE MEN.


Every Liberal Republican, according to the
organs Of the Oilice-lIolders Party. is in some
way person of bad character, whose depart
ure from the organization is matter for con-
graduation, and whose support of Mr.. Greeley
will be of no service. What lot of disrepu-
table men. then, tho Republican party in the
past must have had In its chief places! Thus:
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
XXXVIIth Congress, GALUsHA A. GROW of
Pennsylvania.
Speaker Of the House of Representatives,
XXXIVth Congress, and Chairman Foreign
Relations Committee since, NATHANIEL p.
BANKS of Massachusetts.
Chairman of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee United States Senate, for many years,
CHARLES SUMNER of Massachusetts,.
Chairman of the Judiciary, United States
Senate for many years. LYMAN TRUMBULL Of
Illinois.
Chairman Of Committee on Claims, House
of Representatives, cx-Gov. AUSTIN BLAIR of
Michigan.
Chairman of the Post-01ice Committee,
House of Representatives, Gen. JOHN F.
FARNswoRTH of Illinois.
Chairman of the Committee on Manufac-
lures, United States Senate, ex-Gov WILLIAM
SPRAGUE of Rhode Island
Member Foreign Relations Committee, United
States Senate, and since 1860 one of the most
successful and valued orators and editors Of
the Republican party, Maj.-Gen. CARL SCHURz.
Chairman Public Lands Committee, House
of Representatives, XXXVIlIth and XXXlHth
Congresses, GEORGE w. JULIAN of Indiana,
father of the Homestead bill, original and
lifelong AbolitiOnist, sOn-in-law of Joshua X.
Giddings, and one of the fathers of the Re-
publican party
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, House
of Representatives XXXYIth and XXXVIlth
Congresses, JOHN HICKMAN of Pennsylvania.
Governor of Illinois, and former Commander
of the Fourteenth Army Corps, Gen. JOHN M.
PALMER.
Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court of tho
United States, former Governor Of Ohio, SEN
ator and Secretary OF the Treasury, SALMON
Z. CHASE.
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, one
of the Founders of the Republican party oil
the West, DAVID DAVIS of Illinois.
Finally, of the five Free-Son Senators who
helped organize tho Republican party, one is
for Grant, one is taking no part in the con-
test, and the other three are for Greeley; Of
the Republican electors in the State of New
York in 1868 over one-half are already de-
clared for Greeley; of the four surviving men,
bers of Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet, three
ardently support the Liberal cause. The
people are asked to believe ell these men
traitors to Republicanism Of which they have
been prophets, and to the Republican party
which they founded and led. They are asked
to accept instead of these traitors as the only
true men now, and Che rightful Republican
leaders, Roscoe Conkling Simon Cameron,
O. p. Morton, Zachariah Chandler, and Mat
thew H. Carpenter.
New-York tribune., 1872-08-16
VHAT JOHN THOMAS KNOWS ABOUT THB
SENATE

The Times has published q classification OF
the Senate which, while it gives an over
whelmng majority to the Administration,
still admits that in certain contingencies that
majority may be lost. Some opposition papers
have seized upon this admission, as if state
ment in The Times had value, as o matter OF
news. But it is never safe to rely upon its
accuracy, even when its testimony is given
against its own side. It's present MANAGE
ment is characterized by such ignorance
and recklessness1 that its assertions in
regard TO current politics no longer
attract any attention. In matter
where accuracy would have been so easy TO
secure, as in classification of the Senate, 1t
is ludicrously incorrect. 1t divided that BODY
into twenty-five Liberals and Democratsagalnst
ffty-one Republicans. Among the latter 1t
placed Cooper of Tennessee, and Kelly OF Ore
gon, who are Democrats; and West OF L0uSl-
ana. Hill of Georgia, and Hamilton of Texas,
whose affiliations are with the Liberals. Al
corn of Mississippi, Robertson OF South Caro-
lima, and Ferry of Connecticut. whom 1t claims
as submissive members of the Grant majority,
are VIGOROUSLY Independent of the dictatI0n OK
either party, and oftener vote with the op-
position than with the Administration. AS q
fruit of the recent North Carolina election,
there will, of course, come Senator OF the
Liberal Democratic stripe to succeed tbs
Presidents man, Pool. These changes alone
make grievOus rent in that Overshadowing
majority, leaving the opposition 81 to AZ, so
that six changes more will shift the prepondcr-
ance of numbers. Messrs. Morton, Conklins,
and the other Household Senators, now strug-
Cling for life at the hands Of approaching
Legislatures, do not contemplate that prospect
with the equanimity with which it is regarded
by the people, because of their perfect satls-
faction, or by John Thomas, because OF bis
perfect ignorance.
But this is the style of news which tho
country postmasters are directed to assist in
forcing upon their public. 1t is the best the
present management of The Times can furnish,
so that it is perhaps unreasonable TO ask for
anything better. But until some change Is
made would it not be as well for that paper
to stop publishing facts and figures at all, and
confne itself to simple slack-jaw and personal
abusef 1t does not do that very well, but it's
efforts in that direction show more facility
than when it NEEDLES with the politics Of a
country it knows nothing about.

Late reports from the San Salvadoran IN
vasion of Honduras read more like chapter
out of burlesque history than serious news
Mendieta. who had captured Omoa, a small
seaport of Honduras, and proclaimed himself
President, seems to have managed affairs very
well for time. He was able to subdue Me-
dina, the real President so that that func-
tionary, instead of routing the mva-
der, actually hob-nobbed with him, and
probably the twain slipped their "mescal"
in amicable companionship. If Sanchez. Com
mander-in- Chief, the General BOum of this
play, had kept quiet, all might have been
well he arrested his President, and, after
demanding and receiving a ransom of $4,000
for him, put him on trial. The curious con-
clusion of the whole affair is that Mendieta is
a fugitive, Medina prisoner, and Honduras so
far as we can see, has no President.

Arkansas has enriched the political nomen-
clature of the times with the titles given to
the party factions in that State A TRIBUNE
correspondent, whose letter from Little Rock
is herewith printed, gives in detail the sub
divisions of the parties and elucidates tho
nolitical situation. Since the letter was writ
ten. the Clayton ring Qknown in Arkansas ver-
pacular as the Minstrels " havo abandoned
the scheme of declaring martial law in the
State and, unless some new form of political
tyranny is invented, Arkansas will present a
solid front against the Grant and Clayton
cabal.

The debate between tho Rev. Henry IL.
Garnett and Mr. w. U. Saunders at Cooper
Union last night, seemed to possess some OF
the leading characteristics Of the whole can
vass. Mr.. Garnett was not so much logical
as personal; Mr.. Saunders was less personal
than argumentative. Mr.. Ganett avoided the
issues before the people and assailed his oppo-
nent in the debate but Mr.. Saunders confined
himself rigidly to the line of argument which
any earnest and trained speaker would en-
ploy under similar circumstances. In addl-
ton it should be remarked that Mr.. Garnett,
who is a colored clergyman of this city, and pos
sesses a deserved local reputation, evidently
had the audience with him. We commend
our careful and impartial report OF tho debate
to the candid reader.

Wemay have done injustice to worthy man In
our notice of the sermon preached at Utica by the
Rev. Dr. Fowler upon the occasion of the visit of DR..
Grant to those regions We still think that the gen.
tleman rather disproportionately magnihed the
event; but better report of his sermon than tho
half caIicature which originally reached US IN tho
columns of Mr.. Conkling's home organ, shows that
the Doctor was misrepresented by the local news
paper We find, too, that the preacher did say some-
thing timely about caricature subject which we
have never known to be discussed in tho pulpit
before Here is what we refer to-:
"a political is not all fight with US. but
large admxture Of fun. Peas OF laughter ntercbanSc
with heavy blows. Smiles chase rOwns Is there such
wit in the whole range OF literature scintlaes from
the American press under the friction OF an election;
and such droery then shakes the sides OF the
natonf Not ray OF brightness should be dimmed, Ell
cept what CLEANS from putrescent matter and not Joke
need be staid save what feathers sting MaSDity Ia
not the soul useful humor and w.t. and they never
be lawfully employed In the inction Of wrong There
are innocent and harmless caricatures, but the prolific
production of them falsify facts and misrepresent
persons is transcendent lying and defamation. and
should be tolerated in no respectable community"
All of which we heartily commend to the atten-
ton of the Christian proprietors OF A Journal OF
Civilization whose latest exploit was to parody one
of the most sacred and awful in the history OF
Jesus Christ as a means Of throwing mud at hated
political opponent.

Our columns, this morning, contain carefully
considered and full utterances on present
aspects Of the campaign by the rival candi-
dates for the Presidency. Mr.. Greeley's
speech at Portland, which the Asso-
ciated Press failed to deliver in time
for yesterdays issue, and President Grants
conversation, yesterday, at the White House
viii each command, as they deserve, the
closest scrutiny Of dispassionate voters. Mr.
Greeley puts an end TO the talk about
bargains for Office surrender to the Democracy,
understandings with the Rebels and the like,
by straightforward statement which is sure
OF general acceptance. The President explains
the Fred. Douglass business, tells of domestic
reasons for transacting public business at

Judge Barnard's counsel having concluded,
yesterday, The closing argument for the prose-
cution was commenced, but not finished, by
Mr.. Van COtt 1t is not likely, however, that
his trial, which has attracted such wide atten-
tiOn, will Immediately end. Mr.. Van Cott will
occupy to-day, at least, with the remainder of
his argument, and it is now evident that the
presiding Judges will ask an adjournment for
few days in order that they may prepare
their opinions; so we must expect consider
able delay before a final verdict is reached.
