POLITICAL
Henry Wilson Speaks His Piece.
The North Carolina Canvass.

%sNEW YORK, July ia dispatch from i
Wilmington, N. c., says Wilson, the can
didate for the Vice Presidency, addressed /
a gathering, the most of which was colored,
there yesterday. He said the contest was
not between the men but between the |
principles of the organizations arrayed
against each other. Grant and Greeley /
were before the people. Some men will
tell you, you can vote the Baltimore and |
Cincinnati ticket and claim to be Republi-
cans. But you could as well have been in |
Lees army and say that you had fought for |
the banner of the Union. A vote for Gree |
lev is a vote to defeat the Republican party. |
Il means not only the defeat Of that party |
but its determination. They say that it is |
time for this great party to die. Why, we |
have just begun to live. We will live a |
thousand years. He could not see why the |
Republican party which had done SO |
much good should die. A greater |
work than emancipation was to
change the hearts of these three million |
American Democrats. The Republican
party was always in the right. He, the |
Speaker, had been long in public life, but nev-
er have written or uttered sentence tend |
| ing to degrade any man, black or white. l
| have acted with the Democratic party and
against it, with the Wing party and against
it. The North Carolina election would eX-
ert immense influence on the vote of the
country. The people are looking on this
vote of North Carolina as the settlement of
the Presidential contest. If the Democrats
carry it, it will give more votes for Greeley
than you think. But If you carry it, it will
give more votes for Grant than you have got
in your whole State. They say we have
stolen, but there has been less per centage
stolen under Grants administration than
any other within a quarter of century,
by actual figures less than one fifteenth of
one per cent.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Secretary Bout
well is expected to return to Washington
tonight. He will leave again in few days
for the North.
DelanO on the Stump.
Secretary Delano concluded his speech at
Alexandria, Va, last night, by arguing that
Greeley, If elected, would place himself un-
\ Ill - 81 e.,
that in some degree at least he would be
the exponent of principles of that party,
and that it could not be otherwise unless
Greeley designed to deceive and abuse the
confidence which the Democratic party had
bestowed on him. Greeley was incapable
of such deception, and therefore the con-
clusion as inevitable that bis administra-
ton would, in some degree at least, be
shaped in accordance with Democratic ideas
and sentiments.
Grants Mess.
