The deponent also saw another
letter of Horace Greeley addressed tt
Carmichael, in which Greeley invited
Carmichael to call on him in New
York, to talk over political issues tha,
had been broachcd. between them
and a separate part of the letter, which
deponent did not have opportunity OF
reading carefully, expressed, as depo.
nent casually noticed, and was dis
tinctly informed by Carmichael, the
possibility that Greeley would accept
the nomination for President, if the
nomination was rendered to him in
1872. That Carmichael was sliscnt
from Otsego shortly afterwards and
received from Greeley, as Carmichael
distinctly and emphatically stated to
him, Mr.. Greeiey's positive consent TO
be the Democratic candidate for
President in 1872, if the nomination
was given to him. The date of this
letter was in October, 1871.
That Carmichael endeavored to in
duce depOncnt to consent to advocate
paying pensions to Southern soldiers
as measure Of cancellation between
North and South, and to support Mr..
Greeley for the Presidency.
That it was fully understood be-
tween deponent and Carmichael that
Greeley was to be pressed for Demo-
cratic nomination. That deponent
Carmichael as candid man
who treated these subjects with the
utmost seriousness and that dcponent
is fully convinced that his correspond
ence and interviews, and their mean
ing and results are described by him
honestly and faithfully.

THE corrupt bargain between
GREELEY and the Democrats, looking
TO the election of the former TO the
Presidency, embraces the defeat OF
our State ticket in October. Accord
ingly MCCLURE, FoRNEY & Co. are
unccasing in their vituperation and
assaults upon General Hartranft, and
for months past by alternate threats
and entreaty have attempted to com.
pei his withdrawal from the ticket
with the full assurance that such q
Generalization of the Republican
forces would inevitably ensue, as to
result in the election of BUCKALEw,
and thereby improve GREELEY's
chances of success in November So
hopeful were they Of the success OF
their scheme that last week the Press
and the Age both announced that
HARTRANFT would be Wlthdrawn Dy
the State Central Committee at its
meeting on Thursday last. Neither
General HARTRANFT nor any OF his
friends ever entertained the idea oi
his withdrawal. He was fairly nom-
mated, the ISLANDERS against him have
all been exposed and rcfuted, and the
people have determined to make him
our next Governor. The State Com
mittee met and received the most en-,
couraging reports from all portions of
the Commonwealth, and the little
game OF MCCLURE & Co. did not
win.

There is something very sad in this
announcement, from Dubuque

have Greeley and Brown ratifica-

KSIGHTsTowY, IND, July 24.-The
little town of Carthage was thrown
into a commotion last evening by the
breaking up Of the saloons iii that
place by about sixty females, who
formed themselves into a committee
for that purpose. They first visited
the owners and pleaded with them to
quit the vile and unlawful business.
Failing in this, they warned them to
quit or they would have 10 abide by
the consequences. Still they persist
ed in selling the liquid, and last even

they took this way to crush the ac-

JACOB SPEICHER, of Stonycreck.

W IT. lfA'At0h
statement (all that our space would
allow of the bargain and sale be-
tween HORACE GREELEY and the
Democrats for the Presidential NOM
ination, clearly exposing the most
corrupt political intrigue Of the age,
entered into by this model reform
candidate, whose sole stock in trade
consists in the alleged purity of his
character, and his desire TO reform
the political morals of the country
In the light Of this exposure, the
Southern trip Of Mr.. GREELEY, his
violent abuse of the carpet baggers"
in the South, his refusal to cooperate
with the National Republican Com
mittcc of which he was member,
the sudden cessation of his attacks
on the Ku-klux, and the ardent sup
port of him as their candidate by the
rebel leaders and soldiers, ali now
stand forth clearly revealed. Offices
to he Northern Copperheads and
pensions 10 the Confederate soldiers,
were the potent considerations for his
nomination at Baltimore
At first, although backed up with
such an array of circumstantial evil
dence, we refused to credit the dam
ming tale, and determined to await
the Tribune's denial or explanation; /;
but careful reading of all that jour
nal has yet said on the subject, has
convinced US Of the substantial truth
Of the revelations of the Binghampton
Republican.
While the Tribune enters kind of
general denial, and saws that GREE
LEY never wrote TO any one about
che Presidency unless first 'criHen TO,
and challenges the production of his
letters. WEIGH it knows are in the
hands Of CARMICHAEL, the origina-
tor Of the plot, and declares that
GREELEY never agreed in case of his
election to make SEYMOUR Secretary
Of State. which was never alleged, it
vet has not one word to say about
CARMICHAEL, not one word about
pensions to rebel soldiers, not a word
of the particular letters enumerated
by date, not a word Of denial that he
agreed TO become a candidate if sup
ported by HoRATIo SEYMOUR In
short its answer consists Of the most
palpable eyasions; and leaves un-
touched the fact, that whatever Mr.
GREELEY NAV, or may not have
written, asked" or ''inyited;" he
knew at least, that his friends were
engaged in this most disreputable
bargain for him and in his behalf,
and it forces home the con"iction,
that while trusted by the Republican
party he deliberately turned traitor
TO it, and used the influence of the
Tribune, sustained by the money of
Republicans, to disrupt and destroy
the party; that while put forth as the
representative Of a grand moral up
rising looking to the publication of
politics, he is the mere tool of cor
rupt bargain-a first class fraud,
whom no pure man can support, and
that the Cincinnati Convention was
swindled into accepting as a Liberal
Republican candidate, the already
agreed upon, "set up" candidate of
the Democratic leaders. There is no
depth of corruption that may not be
apprebended, should this man he
elected to power, after this evidence
of his completely in so grave a politi-
cal crime

THE New York Commercial thus
sums up its advices from different To-

edge of these facts probably accounts
for the determined opposition of near
ly one-half the Pennsylvania delega-
ton at Baltimore to the adoption Of
the Cincinnati ticket:
lit is very evident the emetic is too
strong for the stomachs Of the old
fashioned Democrats. For one Re-

in Pennsylvania there will be ten
Democrats who will vote for Grant, to
say nothing of the number who will
stay away from the polls on election
day. Pennsylvania is just as sure
