Belmont'S Latest Vaccinations.
[From the Memphis Appeal.l

FROM inc MenpHiS AppealI
Belmont first turned up in Ameri-
can politics, and fatally to all Ameri-
can interests, in 1856, when Buchanan
was nominated over Douglas-the
East prevailing over the West, and En-
gland, rather than America, shaping,
unfortunately for America, the result
of the ensuing contest for the Presi-
dency. Belmont again interposed at
Charleston, and prevented co-opera-
ton between the West and the South,
as was said, by unworthy agencies,
and thence came the disruption of the
Democratic party, and consequently,
of the Union. Belmont was not con-
tent with his achievements. He was,
we believe, a very proper Radical
during the war. In fact, he has ever
managed to ingratiate himself with
the party in power, and at the same
time control absolutely the fortunes
of the party out of power. 1t is very
generally believed thathe is employed
by the one to eyiscerate the manhood
of the other. He shaped the fortunes
Of the Democracy when he made Sey
mour the Democratic candidate in
1865, instead of Pendleton or Hend-
ricks, and very properly had his re-
ward in conducting for Grants ad-
ministration the negotiation of federal
bends il. EE4Eops Ii. Hlf.s heard pf
rangement with Grant not long ago.
He came West :. snipe shooting his
toadies so reported it-and forthwith
the birds he collected sang sweetly
of one Adams, of whom we only know
that he never had an emotion or SYM
pathy, or sentiment in common with
the masses of the American people.
But Belmont's and the Rothschild's
gold may have gilded his foibles, and
when the Cincinnati convention sat
Adams shone resplendently. For the
first time, however, in all his dealings
with political conventions, Belmont
was foiled of his purpose, and man
was nominated of all others most
feared and detested by British man
ufactuers and capitalists. Belmont
was agonized. He set about the tasks
of retrieving his misfortunes. He has
ever used at will, If he does not now,
the World. Greeley must be over
thrown and Grant reelected, and
there is only one mode OF effecting
this purpose. A Democratic national
convention must sit beneath the
shadows of the federal capital, and
within the current of wealth and
power that sweeps from Wall street to
the maelstrom of corruption at WASH
ington. There may be need for this
Baltimore convention, but the people
will have little faith in its honesty of
action or purpose. It is believed to
be part of the scheme OF Belmont.
Gradually the number of his agents
and exponents is increased. The
Baltimore Gazette becomes at length
an ally of the World. There has been
another snipe bagged. How many
more Mr.. Belmont will capture or slay
we shall see. But they will fall
rapidly and steadily and when the
Democratic convention sits, the party
will have been SO manipulated by the
willy agent of Grant, and of TIE Roths7
ehilds, that Greeley will be betrayed,
even by men who pitted Adams
against him and were beaten in an
open, honest convention. We once
inaugurated political revolution in
Tennessee. We dealt fairly and
honestly with partisan enemies, who
co-operated with lis in the election of
Senter. The same purpose, by pre-
cisely the same agencies and eombin
ations, is proposed to be effected in a
federal election. We see no reason
why the results in the last should differ
from those evolved by the local con
test. When the Republicans were
induced to meet in Cincinnati, they
were assured of our co-operation.
They shall have it, and such is the
determinations of the South. Read
what the hundred and ninety papers
say, from which we have made ex-
tracts. Mr.. Belmont may retire.
There are too many snipe to he bagged.
He has undertaken too big a job.
