had convinced his audience asked: "What angel
OF the Lord has met the Democratic party ana turned
them from their evil course 7" Horace Greeley" was

the crowd The orator didn't feel like saying anything
more.
The emphatic announcement of The Harris
burg (Pa) Telegraph that Gen. A. L. Roumfort, Chair
Of the Dauphin County Democratic Committee, OPP
posed Mr. Greeley, finds its best contradiction in his

the straighout movement He assures them that while
opposed 20 Mr.. Greeeys nomination, his present duty
Is support him, and the straightous that their
paucity of numbers will brand their organization "as
mere faction"

gated number of prominent Southern politicians, says

Democratic conventions but had his expenses paid
by Committee OF Correspondence. In conclusion he
saws "I cannot know whether you gentlemen are aber
to pay my fare there than would be myself, and
would not thus wrong YOU But H. as have no doubt
is the the corrupt creatures Of corrupt
party and this is part Of their corruption fund, then
would soon borrow one OF judas Iscari0ps thirty
pieces as touch 1t. And If any additional proof was
wanted Of the proprety Of the oneTerm principle, the
present humiliatng attitude OF the Administration in
securing the services OF such as address would
furnish It,"

advocate of Boston, has written letter to Senator Will
son. taking him for his letter Mr. Dennson
Grants temperance habits, and maintaining that the

admitted all that Mr. Dennson charged In conclusion
Mr. Usher says "I have 1t the best authority that
william L. Dodge OF NewYork, and President OF the
National Temperance Society visited the President with
a view TO persuade him to take the pledge. Why
thisf Undoubtedly because 10 we'll lknOwn tnat he
used intoxicating liquors. That in the future may
have the chair OF State but total abstinence
my desire and doubt not Il the earnest desire OF the
American people. Then IL Will not be charged that the
President drinks too much and II 1t Is. his defenders
will not feel regret that lie 10 at all will it be
necessary for him 70 take the pledge guarantee OF
personal sobrety The thought that the President OF
this great nation drinks intoxicating liquors as to ex
cite anxiety the part OF his friends brings morthca
ton the heart Of every American citizen who seeks
honor OF his country Upon this subject there should
be for regrets or special need OF pledges"
