CURTIN AND FORNEY.

The grea. war Governor, says the
New York Commercial Adrertiser,
has done bis best, now let him come
to the stool OF repentance, confess
his sins and take back seat Men ere
nothing. Leaders are OF no account.
Personal influence is q delusion.
The masses OF the people stick TO
principle and party, ard the apos
tacy Of Greeley, Curtin, Sumner,
Schurz, Forney Trumbull, Banks and
all the rest is Of no weight. II the
Republican party had felt that they
wanted q change, il they had lost
confidence il Grant, they would have
begun to show it two years ago BY q
decided change in their votes. These
silly sgeaders" imagine that because
they had a GRIEVANCE the people
would sympashize and follow them.
They can now see what they .sIe
rorht, and how feeble is their hold
upon the public when they forsake
the principles and the associates OF s
lifetime.
The people have followed some o.
these men for years, deyotedly, al
most bIindly, but at the first sign
of altering the party kept right
ahead on It's march, and paid no heed
to deserters and traitors. A "Greai
War Governor turns out q very
significant bolter, and an Able Edi'
tor finds himself without hearing

at naturally rejoices me to see the
old AbolitioDists taking their stand
against the restoration to power OF
the pro-slayery, negro-h hating, and
negro numbering Democratic partT.
William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell
Phillips, Joshua Leavitt, Fredrick
Douglass, Henry II. Garnet, Henry
Wilson, and ex Governor Fletcher
have all taken this stand. And now
comes tins from dear old Benjamin
Shaw, telling US, in emphatic terms.
where be is to be found in this renewal
of the anti slavery contest.
The letter towhich Mr.. Smith refers
