GREELEY AND THE DEMOCRACY

That the Baltimore Convention
will adopt Greeley, at least make no
separate nominations, is exultingly
claimed now by his supporters.
We've got 'em,' shout they, and
snap their fingers defantly In the
face of the Democratic leaders who
have either openly resisted taking
Greeley or hoped that something
would turn up to prevent it. As the
shout OF victory goes up and the
triumphant Greeley column moves
on-the Democratic party disap-
pears from sight forever; and with
all this thousands of lifetime Dem
ocrats step aside from active poll
tics, holding themselves in the mend
ing canvass either not to vote or to
vote for Grant-for Greeley never.
We might reason thus as a logic
al necessity, even if there were not
facts surrounding us demonstrating
1t. 1t is not in the nature of things
that three million of Democratic vo-
tiers, or majority of them even can
be marshaled into the support of a
candidate who has been all his life
inventing phrases wherewith to
stigmatize them. Place hunters
may wheelin and shout for Greeley,
out all Democrats are not place
hunters, any more than they are all
norse-thieves-a fact about which |
Mr. Greeley not long ago professed
himself doubtful, though he was |
certain that all horse-thieves were
Democrats. Those he NAV reason.
ably count on, besides some others
perhaps. But that he will receive
the support of the Democratic par-
ty, or anything like it, is not in the
range of human probabilities.

GRATIFYING AssuR ANcE.

From every section Of the coun-
try comes the gratifying assurance
that our candidates---Grant and Viii
son--are receiving the warmest ex-
pressions of endorsement from the
people of all parties. Old Demo
Gratis avow that they will not sup
port Greeley if nominated at Balti-
more, but will cast their votes for
the brave soldier who conquered re-
bellion, and has honestly and faith
fully executed every trust reposed
in him by the people. This report
reaches US, we say, from every sec
tion of the vast country, and the
expressions of determination grow
more and more warm, as the proba-
bilities grow stronger of Greeley's
nomination at Baltimore.

BENEFITS FUNERAL PROCESSION

If one were to take as true the
New York Suns account of the
Bennett funeral procession, he would
hardly know whether it was the flu
neral procession of Bennett or a
marching pageant to Horace Greeley.
The honest Horace was one of the
pail bearers, and the Sun says:
At many points it was necessary
to stop the procession for a few mo.
ments. When such pauses were
made the people fiocked around the
carriage in which honest DR.. Gree
ley was riding. They pressed about
and shook his hand, many person
ally pledging him their support,an
hailing him as our next President
One gentleman said to him
81 am Democrat, heart and soul.
l voted for jackson; but I'm going
to vote for you this time, and l ex.
pect to be able to say,'Mr. Presi-
dent to you before l die The
sage smiled contentedly at this out
burst of enthusiasm. His carnage
was a perfect car of triumph. Even
the ladies swarmed about him and
wished" they could vote for him.
Evidently the Sun is for making
political capital out of a funeral.
If it will only wait long enough it
will have funeral of its own party,
when there will be nothing to divert
attention from the political pail.

THE PHILADELPHIA PLATFORM AND
THE GERMAN PRESS.

The declaration of principles
adopted at Philadelphia commands
the hearty concurrence of the Ger
man Republican press. The planks
in favor of civil service reform, the
protection of immigrants, and the
hearty sympathy expressed for the
laboring movements are calculated
to secure the good will and allegi
ance of the German masses. These
are the questions in which they are
most vitality interested and upon
which the Cincinnati platform is 81
lent. On the whole political situa-
ton never had a more favorable ap,
pearance for the success Of the Re
publican ticket than it has to day.

GRANT IN THE SOUTH.

The Southern Republican choice,
both of the old and new citizens, is
Grant. The colored votes will not
desert the man whose victory secur-
ed their freedom, for the man whose
spirit---not whose will, but whose
spirit, arising from natural temper
ament--was through the whole war
q spirit of surrender. The Nation
al Convention of colored citizens at
New Orleans declared warmly for
Gen'l Grant. frederick Douglass,
the chief leader of his race in the
country, was eloquent in advocacy
of the Republican party. "That
party is the deck all else is the
sea-" he said, with the most vivid
truthfulness. So a mass-meeting
of the colored people in Ohio two
weeks ago declared unanimously for
Grant.

PAYMENT OF The nERI.

The statement has been made
that Johnson paid off more of the
public debt than Grant. The man
who put lie in the mouth of dead
Stanton is the author of this state
ment, and he Intentionally suppress
ed the fact, which every public man
ought to know, that Immediately
after the close of the war, the re-
ceipts for sales of horses, mules,
wagons, supplies and other mater
ials used by the army, were enor-
nous, and were placed in the Treas
ury, and subsequently went toward
reducing the debt. This money
was not the result of any grand Fl
nancial scheme, but was thrust up
on the Government by the forced
sales of immense amounts of use
less material. Deduct these receipts
from the amounts paid of the pub
lie debt during Johnson's admins
tration, and very little will be left.
This is abundantly proved by the
fact that after the receipts from
sales of war material had been eX-
hausted, and the Government was
reduced to the hard pan of taxation
and collection of revenue, the month
ly reductions of the debt under
johnson fell off woefully. Under
Grants administration they increas
continually until over $330,O00,000
have been paid off,and the annual in
terest payments have been reduced
more than $32, 100000. Tine record
is a proud one, and chiefly so be-
cause it has been made in the face
of constant reduction in national
taxation. The Government, with
revenues reduced over one hundred
millions annually, is now reducing
its debt faster than was ever done
before, out of the regular resources.
Every dollar is faithfully collected
and accounted for. This is the true
secret of the debt reduction under
Grants administration.

THE GREAT EXPLORER.

1t is now believed that the Her.
aid correspondent did actually find
and interview the African explorer,
DIR. Livingstone, and afterwards
hurried away to the coast to tell the
welcome news. Returning to the
interior, again in search of the DIR.
he failed to discover his present
whereabouts. That Livingstone is
alive, is all the world cares about
knowing of him at present. If he
has managed to escape murder at
the hands of the natives thus far, it
is fair to presume that if not car
ried off by disease, he will when he
is ready, eventually reach England.

NEW POSTAL LAW.

The new postal law, passed at the
close of the session. makes changes
in existing postal regulations of
general interest. The most impor-
tant is the adoption of the postal
card system SO popular and general
ly used in Great Britain and other
European countries, for local cor
respondence. The law provides for
an open card to be manufactured
under the direction of the Postmas-
ter General. The face of the card
will bear 4 one-cent stamp, and will
be provided with lines for the ad-
dress, and the back will be ruled
for the letter. The price Of the
card and stamp will be only one-cent.
1t will probably be three or four
weeks before they will be ready for
sale, as the plates for printing have
yet to be prepared. An important
reduction has been made in the
postage on circulars, newspapers and
other transient printed matter.
Under the old law it was two cents
fol, every four ounces or less, but
this is now changed to one cent for
two ounces or less. Small circulars,
which formerly cost two cents to
mail, can now be sent for one cent
an important reduction to business
men who use the mails largely to
advertise their business. The
change is now in force,or will be as
soon as the necessary instructions
e'issucd.

HENRY WILSON.
BY COL. j. W. FORNEY.

| iCuiy w ilSOL, OUR cdnulQaUe lOr
Vice President, is fine example of
the effect of free institutions upon
the struggling youth of America, and
also proof OF the practical consis-
tency of the Republican party. 1
have known him well for over sew
enteen years. Twelve months
younger than Mr.. Sumner, he has
always been his friend, even when
compelled to differ with him. Will
son is one of the men who wear
well. Time and trial improve and
ripen them. No day passes that
they do not learn something. 1 met
him while l was presiding over the
House Of Representatives in the
stormy session of '55 and '56, and
had a chance to study his character.
He saw that the time was coming
when Democrats like myself would
be compelled to choose between lib
erty and slavery, and his anxiety to
secure such a reinforcement to his
party was shown in his kindness to
and confidence in that brave and
earnest body of men. And when
the storm broke, in '5S, and Buchan
an sought to force the Lecompton
constitution upon Kansas, Henry
Wilson threw himself with especial
fervor among the revolving Demo
Gratis. He consulted with us and
encouraged us; he Travelled far and
near to effect cooperation and Or
ganization; and when my name was
presented for clerk of the House, in
'59, he insisted that l should be
elected without pledges. These
had been demanded by some of the
more violent Republicans ,and stern
ly refused. did not ask for the
place, and would not have touched
it if it had interfered with my indie
pendence as editor of the Press.
Wilson declared that 1 was right,
and with the aid of Charles Francis
Adams, John Hickman, John b. |
Haskin, and John Schwartz, we Or
ganized the House, and soon after
the Lecompton Democrats consti-
tuted a resistless Republican re-
serve. Henry Wilson is a superb
organizer. His temperate life and
high principles his fine health and
strong convictions, his knowledge
of the predjudices and wants of men
made him great power against the
rebellion, as well in the army as at
the head of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs. The amount of work
he performed was prodigious. He
was q real break of-day mana
sleepless, untiring and unmurmur-
ing patriot. A little too impulsive,
perhaps, his is one Of the truest Of
hearts, warm, generous and forgiv-
ing. He is inexpensive in his tastes
and lives among his books and his
friends. Active and quick, regular
Iy in his scat in the Senate, he is of
ten seen ON the Avenue and in so
ciety, though he never touches wine
Or cigars. He is thorough com
mon sense man, and natural
between quarrelling friends ,
His blows are for the enemy; his
for his accociates. He :
lates corruption as he hated slavery ,
md he will go far to punish q faith ,
ess trustee. Snch is our candidate 4,
or Vice President. Is he not an ar !
yument in himself? Especially SO !

The Missouri Democrat publish

Greeley as the Political Blondin.'
He is endeavoring to walk a rope
stretched from the Tribune Office to

very difficult job, however, as the
balance pole, Iaiieled Free Trade
on one end AMI Protection on the
other, is very hard to manage, the
free trade end being much the heav-
lest. 1t looks extremely doubtful
whether he will accomplish the feat.
