POLITICAL NOTES,

~ Greeley and Brown club has been or
saniacd at 1t. Adams.
The Greeley mass meeting nj Rutland on
Saturday it reported to have been miscrA
able fizze. None of the advertised speak,
ers were ON hand, and not over 800 persons
were present, most Of whom were Grant
men aud Democrats who attended through
curiosity.
The statement that jefferson Davis has
written letter TO Wade Hampton declar-
ing for Horace GreeIey, is denied.
The Democratic Convention of Pennsyl-
vania met at Reading, last week. EN-
Senator Buckalew was nominate for Gov
crnor, and the Cincinnati ticket ignored
completely.
The Democrats of Georgia declare in ia
vor of defeat rather than partial victory,
and do not propose 10 support Mr.. Greeley.
The Vermont Democracy appear to be
divided as To the question Of endorsing the
Cincinnati candidates. The Rutland Gour-
Ter opposes the nomination Of straight
ticket at Baltimore, while the Argus and
Patriot favors it. The Burlington Demo-
crat appears to be on the fierce with a strong
| leaning to Greeley.
The New York World publishes extracts
| from ninety-two Democratic newspapers
opposing the Endorsement If Greeley at
Baltimore. II had previously published
extracts from over forty Pennsylvania pa
pers to the same effect.
The Springfield Republican after an ex-
| tensivc summing up of the situation comes
to the conclusion that $50 far as present APP
pearances go, the prospect for the change
of tenants at the White House next March
can hardly be described us encouraging"
| Such declaration from one of the strong
est supporters of the Cincinnati movement
is very significant.
The Concord On. H. Patriot, Democra-
tic, swallows the Greeley pill, but says If
the national convention indorses Greeley,
we feel the utmost confidence that we can
carry the state for him. But neither we
nor our delegates should favor that indorsc-
ment unless assured that he can be elected.
We must not roll in the mud for nothing.
The Boston journal iacetously remarks
that if the democrats continue TO cleave to
Mr.. Greeley and the liberal republicans TO
drop away from him, his party will he like
the boys jackknile, which got new blade
and then another handle, causing the scien-
tifc inquiry whether it was the same knife,
after all.
William Lloyd Garrison has written
letter to Charles sumner, characterizing
the Senator's recent speech against Gen.
Grant as "ill judged, i'll timed, cxlravagant
in its charges and bitter in It's personali-
ties
The Troy Press, tDemocratic) believes
that If the Baltimore Convention "adopl"
Greeley one-third of the Democracy will so
over to Grant, and Greeley will surely be
defeated.
The Greenfield Gazette says: "A sub
scriber now and for the last seven years
resident of Louisiana, with good facilities
for hearing the opinion of its citizens on
the Presidential question, states that the
old rebel whites are gene rally for Greeley
and the blacks universally for Grant for
President
The local Kentucky mind is thus argued
iato reconciliation TO Greeley by the Louis
willie Courier journal: Nobody should OBJ
ject TO Greeley because he is teeotaler.
His abstinence leaves all the more whisky
for the rest OF us.
The Hon. Daniel Voorhees, is out in de-
liant letter, wherein he remarks 1--WE will
see whether can be read out of the Demo-
cratic party because | refuse to leave it and
go into camp with Horace Greeley. There
are at least eighty Democratic members of
the House who stand with me, and Frank
Blair is the only Democratic Senator for
Greeley, Kerr, Holman, Niblack and Ma
son are against him, as am."
The New Hampshire Legislature assem-
bed at Concord on Wednesday. Except
I the election of a United States Senator,
r which occurs the second week of the ses-
sion, nothing Of much importance is to be
