In 1868 Indiana went Democratic at
the October election by gel votes; yet
Grant carried the same State by over
1900 in the November following. Is it
likely, then, that the loss of one-tenth of
our State ticket in Pennsylvania this fall
can defeat Grant in November? The
ring journals constantly assume that such
a result may ensue, and urge this as a
reason why conscientious Republicans
should help elect unworthy men to the
offices of Governor and Auditor General.

the Radical Republican, gave some strik-
ing facts and figures in regard to the

use this fund in building a magnificent

A strange Scene In Church.

The following story, which is published
in the Albany Erening Journal, is quite
true in every particular:
"On Sunday morning last, much to the
surprise and indignation of the congrega-
ton, Horace Greeley, accompanied by
George n. Saunders and Theodore Til
ton, walked into Rev. DR.. Chapin's
church, taking seats in Mr.. Greeley's
pew. 1t was soon known that the nOto-
rious traitor who was Matching conspira-
cies in Canada during the whole of the
rebellion was Mr.. Greeley's guest, and
an expression of disgust was manifest in
almost every countenance, for in our
whole city there is not congregation
more distinguished for it's intelligence and
loyalty than this one. Nor did the cir
cumstance fail to attract the attention
and the rebuke of the eminent and elo-
quent pastor, whose patriotic heart must
have burned with indignation to see a
man who had conspired to burn our city
and assassinate our President thus open
ly and shamelessly patronized by a prom
inent member of his congregation.
This man, Saunders, who was wander
ing in Europe until Greeley's nomination
for President, was guest at recent po-
litical breakfast to aid Greeley's election,
where he met Erastus Brooks and others
of that stripe.
The incendiary who burns a single
dwelling goes to State prison, while
George n. Saunders, who conspired to
burn the whole city of New York, and
whose agents actually kindled fires stimuli
taneOuSly i'm several parts of the city
is not only Mr.. Greeley's intimate politi-
cal friend and supporter, but is the re-
cipient of public Inequalities in city
from which he should be promptly and
Indignantly banished."

The Party of False Pretenses.

That success can attend Greeley's great
and monstrous treason is not for mo-
ment credited by the Springfield Mass
Union. And it says: "That Horace
Greeley has so changed his mind that he
really believes the Republican party is
hopelessly corrupt, and the rebel De-
mocracy is the party of patriotism and
purity, no one believes. The pictures he
has been accustomed to draw of the DEM
ocratic party are as true and life-like to-
day as they ever were, and he cannot so
stultify himself as to suppose any change
for the better has taken place in the men
with whom he has cast his lot. In de-
sorting his friends and going over to the
enemy, he deliberately turns his back on
the principles and purposes which have
governed his past life, and gives his name
and influence and efforts to make what
he has done for freedom and equal rights
of no effect. Designing politicians may
try to put different face on the transac-
ton, but the plain common sense of the
people will understand it in this light"

THE Brockport Democrat, published in
Western New York, having become disguised
with the false pretenses and innuendoes OF
its party, withdraws from the support of its
lack of principles, and flies the name of Grant
and Wilson. We publish the following ex-
tract from its leading editorial:
And now, between the Republican candi-
dates before the people we have no hesitancy
in pronouncing for Grant. As the successful
leader of the Northern armies during the late
war, he challenges our admiration as chief
administrator Of the laws of the nation he
commands our respect and confidence.
That the administration of President Grant
has been entirely free from mistakes, not
even his most jealous supporters will affirm.
He himself says: "My past experience may
guide me in avoiding the mistakes inevitable
with novices in all professions and in all oc-
cupations." But that his administration has
on the whole been succeSsful-far more so
than it gave promise in '67, no candid man
will deny.
Above the general murmur of dissatisfac-
ton with the nomination of Greeley; above
the loud recitals of his many eccentricities,
and inconsistencies, we hear the cry of
Peace; :" and we are told that upon the
election of Greeley depends the realization of
before. Had it been needed in '61 the result
would have been dissolved Union. Had it
been needed in '63, when Greeley bargained
with traitors at Niagara Falls, the nation
would have been weakened and Inundated.
Had it been needed in "a the war and the
better results growing out of the war would
have been failure.
And'what is that peace offered us by the
South to-day? Why are "hands clasped
across tie bloody chasm?" While we would
gladly encourage every effort being, or about
to be made, in the interests of a common
country, we question the sincerity of hand
grasp from those who only few weeks ago
openly avowed their opinion that the results
for which they fought were yet within their
grasp-that more could be gained by diplo-
macy than by war. We therefore look with
suspicion upon the many exhibitions of friend
ship between him who at one time preached
the doctrine of secession, at another time
urged the purchase Of the slave property of
the South, and later, signed the bail bond of
the rebel leader; between him and those
who, failing in one effort to destroy the
Union, only wait for more favorable OPP
portunity to project another in the same di
rection.
With these facts before US. we ask all in
telligent and patriotic Democrats in this dis
trict to calmly consider the situation. The
time has come when every true citizen should
plant himself squarely between his country
and her enemies, disguise themselves as they
may. To every Democrat who fought for
her in the field or prayed for her success at
home, who desires steadiness in business
circles, the economic administration of the
national finances, the maintenance of our
national honor, the complete and indissoluble
union of the States; to all such we appeal,
asking you join with us, and with the Repub-
lican party in the support of Ulysses S. Grant
and Henry Wilson.

An Opportunity for Gratz Brown
to Act-SiX MiSsOurlans Taken
from their Homes and Whipped
by the Ku.Klux.

Deputy United States Marshal, Bierstadt,
returned yesterday from an official visit to
Southeast Missouri. He represents the spirit
of outlawry as still abroad in the swamps
The Ku-Klux exists there as an organized
band, and all persons that do not act in ac-
cordance with their views are visited at night
by men with blackened faces, tied TO the
nearest tree and logged on the bare back in
the most cruel manner. Mr.. Bierstadt was
informed that within the past two or three
weeks six men had been treated in this way,
for no other reason than that they were Re-
publcans and supporters of Grant.
Charles White, a farmer, living three miles
from Bloomfield, was whipped by band of
masked men, who took him from his house at
night.
A Mr.. Hoffsteder, farmer, residing four
miles west of Spring Hill, was treated in the
same manner. In his case the ruffians are
known, and will be brought to justice.
j. o. Gaesing was flogged and notified to
leave the country.
A Mr.. Gelser, a farmer, near Spring Hill,
was severely logged.
A colored man was severely logged by the
same band.
These occurrences have become so common
in that part of the State that they have
ceased to attract much attention. 1t is a
common thing, we are informed, for peace
able farmer to be aroused from his sleep at
night by armed and disguised men, and taken
to tree and fiogged. If these reports are
true, it is about time for the Executive Of the
State to use his authority in putting down
such Outrages. If the men are maltreated
simply because they are Radicals in politics
and utter their sentiments freely, perhaps
no action can be expected from the "Liber-
al" rulers of the State; but there is, fortu-
nately, superior power in the land, and it
should be invoked without delay. At all
events, an investigation should be had, and
the whole truth known.-,S. Louis Democrat.

DENVER, July 1G, 1872.
Editor Neps:
Allow me, as a member of the body poll.
tic, to occupy small space in your paper. to
give vent to a few reflections. remember
well of writing, many years ago, to that
great lawyer, David Paul Brown, of Phila-
delphia, to ask his opinion and advice about
the propriety of holding a certain anti-slayery
meeting, and he replied by saying: "Go on
with your meeting. have always believed
that those who suffer should at least be al
lowed to groan. You must speak and act
for yourselves, and then others will act with
and for you"
Never before was this sentiment so fully
ana leeIngiy brought to my mind, as it was
last night, at a meeting Of few earnest COL
ored citizens, who quietly assembled in the
African Methodist Episcopal church of Dem
yer, to consider the matter of how unjustly
and lndiferently they have been treated and
neglected by certain Republican officials.
All, how deeply could discover the NUT
terings Of painful emotions struggling up
through incoherent expressions Of honest
indignation, coupled with an earnest desire,
not only to rebuke, in gentle way, but so
to present and treat the subject as not to in
jure the cause for which all manifestly had
at heart, namely: the great principles and
success Of the Republican party. tell you,
fellow-countrymen Of the white race, that
after enfranchisement, elevation, as logi-
cal sequence, must follow. There is no
positive inertia in nature. Matter and mo-
ton are fixed and eternal laws, and the
individual or nation, that will not con-
form to them will gradually give way to
those who will conform to those laws !;
for, onward is the language of creation,
and all nature proclaims it as with
silver tongue. From ocean to ocean, from
hamlet to hamlet, and from city to city, all
is onward! Let it be remembered that the
negroes are not all fools. They will not al
ways be subservient to the behests of mere
party. If parties want the aid of colored
citizens, they must progress, as well as in
dividuals, for the negroes are catching the
spirit of progression. They are beginning to
understand the Importance of industry,
economy, and the real and substantial value
Of money and real estate. With the constant
practice of the former, they will come into
possession Of the latter; and when once in
possession of these means and facilities, we
shall have no trouble on the score of recog-
nized equality of manhood.
