How to Edit q "LiberaE' Organ
Declare it is not an ORGAN,

l. Declare it is not an organ.
2. Spice your editorials with abuse direct,
and by insinuation against the President, call
ing him by some nickname, such as Doctor
Grant, Hiram, Ulyss, Useless, anything that
playful fancy and lively wit may suggest.
B. Severely deprecate personalities in po-
litical discussions, and denounce all imputa-
ton upon the motives of Liberal Republicans.
f. Have corps of correspondents in the
office, employed in writing letters from all
sorts of places; as thus =" Stumpton all
ablaze here for G. & b. ''-fVermont, Aug

pect it to, we shall carry it," "Auburn, Me-,

Joined Greeley club. How about Tom
Murphy?'
"Hon. Israel Turner of Turnersville, Pa,
candidate for Legislature last year is out
strongly for Greedy! He thinks we have too
much Dent and too little President That's
what's the matter"
Ii you have great number of assistants
they can be occupied with writing ''leaders''
demonstrating that everybody who is in the
field for Greeley is able, perspicacious, I'M
answerable, &C., &C., and for Grant, specious,
sophistical and shallow.
The same forms will do in many cases for
whole columns, by an occasional change of
name or locality. The New York Sun, for
instance, repeats itself day by day. The
same old familiar inventions serve the pur-
pose OF each returning morning.
t. A series of standing words or sentences
should be kept ready for instant use, viz,
Nepotism; Brothers-in-Law; Dent Family;
Horse; Gifts; st. Domingo &c. &c.
There is sameness, to be sure, about this
sort of paper. One number will serve for
whole season. But there really isn't much
to fight this campaign in. A lot of fellows
OF all shades and compilations of past politi-
cal opinion have Joined in a desperate strug-
gle to get at the public treasury. They are
cold, hungry and thirsty. 1t would be
charity to let them in but that, in spite of
all Gen. Grants frugality and economy of
administration, the drain the Rebels made
upon Uncle Sam during the war was so great
That he cannot yet afford to feed them at the
public crib

The NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.
ing the North Carolina election the Tribune
fabricates as follows: "More than this, we
learn of some of the disreputable tactics en-
ployed by the Administration to carry the
North State. 1t seems that arrests were made
by deputy marshals and then Cancelled on con-
diton that the released persons should vote the
Administration ticket"
The Democratic Journal Of Commerce truly
and candidly admits that: 'The Democrats
and Liberal Republicans had expected the
swarms of United States deputy marshals to
interfere Extensively in the elections, but they
too, were agreeably disappointed. Neither
civil or military forces were applied to the in
timidaton or coercion of voters. OF frauds
there are none reported
The editor of the Tribune is running for the
Presidency, the editor of the Journal Of Com
merce is not. Hence the difference in their
statements. The Democrats of North Carolina
had possession of all the polls. They re-dis-
tricted the State, for Congressional and legisla-
tive purposes, to suit themselves They sent
down some Tammany experts to manage the
ballot swindling. But in spite of this, and a
loss of 1000 colored votes through fraudulent
tickets; the sturdy Republicans of the Old
North State came out triumphant.

WE give the following extract from a
private letter to gentleman in this vicinity
from one of the most intelligent and infuen-
tial colored men of South Carolina. After
giving general review of the political stu
alton in that State, in which he says the
Republican majority is so overwhelming that
the Democrats will not even nominate aState
ticket. he goes on as follows:
The ignorance of the masses of the colored
men and even the rapacity of some of their
leaders, are nothing compared with what we
have reason to believe would be the result
were the political power transferred to the
Democratic party-ds zoe knOto them IN the
South! You say that eff III. G. should be
elected it will not be so bad as it might have
been, since we have got the amendments,
&C." That is true, but it will be bad enough
We do not believe that colored men could
after that event live comfortably in the South,
they would be constantly threatened about
their liberties and still greater would be the
danger of retaining their political power. 1t
would be looked upon by the Democrats as a
consent by the North to their rehabilitation
and control in politics. And a people SO
used to rule as they have been, and so exas-
perated by their dethronement and disfran-
chisement, that they would unite their heads
and employ their time more in plans and
devices how to get us down and keep us down
than in any other earthly matter! We see
and hear too much nOD to form any other

HORACE GREELEY is coming to Maine,
but it is announced in advance by his man
ayers that he will only be on exhibition, and
that the spectators must be content to view
the old white hat and coat, without expect
ing the man, whose frame is convenient
means Of displaying them, but who is himself
relatively secondary and subordinate, to open
his lips. 1t seems too bad to put the old
gentleman to so much trouble, when his ''old
clo'" might be sent down by express and dis
played on lay-fgure. 1t is to be all 1.-THE mex
plicabe dumb show and noise," which an
old writer of some repute so much deprecated.
There would be'many advantages in the plan
we suggest. The lay-fgure could not be

Now the Greeley papers are hedging for
defeat in West Virginia which holds State
election next week. What is the matter with
them? Are they to give up the whole field
State by State just before the fight. If the
Democracy cannot carry such States as North
Carolina and West Virginia, pray what States
can they carry? Is old Kentucky in doubt?

ing contest He took three weeks to consider,
and then replied, giving his opinion as to
''the antecedents" ami ''present position of
the two candidates. The antecedents OF
Grant are, he says, that he started with
military commission, and was trained as a
soldier, and voted for Buchanan, and never
did anything for the colored race Except as
soldier summoned by the terrible accident
of war;" and twas on the other side," what
ever that may mean, when Greeley was "ably
championing impartial suffrage" This is all
be has to say of Grants "antecedents," al
though in the opening paragraph of the let
ter he declares that he will "nOt allow any
prejudice of any kind to interfere with his adj
vice.; ''the occasion is too solemn" he says.
The occasion was, however, apparently not
solemn enough, inasmuch as this is put forth
as fair account to colored people Of the an
tecedents of man to whose victorious sword
they owe their emancipation, and Mr.. Sum-
ner actually owes it that he has seat in the
Senate, and that Mr.. Greeley and Mr.. Sum-
