We sound the alarm let loyal men hear
the sound and consider the ground Of dan
ger. II is not danger of Dsuniou to be
attempted simply, but an attempt with pros
pect OF. peaceful success through a President
who will refuse to use force Aud even if
Mr.. Greeley's views are changed, that will not
change the ground and argument for a new
attempt at secession lie in that event would
change, but not the rebels, and then we should
have the prospect Of another terrible and
bloody struggle ere the country has recovered
from the mighty weight of debt imposed upon
it in the struggle that has so recently ended.
Let no reader mistake usi we do not charge
that Mr.. Greeley desires, expects, or arpre
hends renewal Of the past terrible conflict.
His estimate Of human depravity is low, his
expectations from human virtue large. This
is the key to both his false philosophy and his
inconsiderate philanthropy. Since the War
for the Union, he has been clamorous and i'm
patient for universal amnesty. He could not
bear the thought that Jefferson Davis was a
prisoner in fortress which has long been
fashionable as a place Of summer resort for
weary Presidents and cabinet officers; so in
hot haste, aud by his personal bond, Greeley
released the rebel chief from the stern grasp
Of rotributye justice. Aud now Mr. Greeley
may not see that amnesty from judicial pun
ishment and political disabilities is one thing,
and puttiag these amHctied Rebels into o6ice
and po,cer is altogether another thing This
is a fatal mistake. BY the ,alliaucc Of him
self, and the Republicans who follow him,
with all the Rebels at heart still remaining in
Che country, he must, inevitably if the ALI
'ance is successful, 5riay tie Re5d efemeaf
once more into Congress possibly into The
Cabinet, crea and his uader circumstances
quite tayoraJie far mischief. This is the
danger we would avert; aud we put it to ev.
ry loyal Nermonter, calling himself by what
ever political name to seriously reflect and
decide, whether he will be a sharer in the
guilt of SO endangering tho country.
With GRANT in the chair, we know that re-
belion dare not rear its bristling front, or
sound its sanguinary threats, and are assured
of peace. With GREELEY, aud his rebel and
semi-rebel hackers, tell US what is most rea-
sonably to be expected if it is not renewal
of Southern demands, with peaceful secession
and ruin to the Union on Grceley's doctrines,
or another " American Conflict, with another
holocaust Of priceless human sacrifices, aud
mortgage upon future generations. Think Of
these things they are Of the highest moment

your children and your children's children

The Burlington Conventions.

In another place will be found the result
Of the State Conventions Of the Democrats
and Liberal Robublicans which we're held in
Darlington last week.
There was no little friction in the selection
of some Of the ticket which was presented.
Some Of the old line Democrats claimed that
in supporting Greeley and Brown they ad
conceded enough to the Liberals, aud in
asmuch as at least three.rourlhs of the vote
thrown for the ticket in the State would be
cast by Democrats, that the first place on the
ticket should be conceded to them This
wing Of the Democracy presented the name
of Hon. William r. IIorrobin Of Bennington,
for the position Of Governor, who, after the
nominations had been made, accepted the
situation with decided GOODNESS, and predicted
light vote for the ticket in his county
The nomination of Mr.. Gardner for Gov
ernor can hardly be called a Republican
nomination. Two years ago Mr.. Gardner
was nominated and elected, on the same ticket
with Mr.. Horrobin as Senator from Benning-
ton county, by coalition Of the Democratic
and anti-Park vote, in opposition to the regu-
lar Republican nominees of the county Since
that time, we do not know that Mr. Gardner
has taken any active part in politics either on
one side or the other 1t was more than
intimated at Burlington that Mr. Gardner
was willing to be anything, politically, that
was required to secure for him the first plac,
on the ticket lie has certainly been quite
ukewarm in his support Of any or either po
litica party for the last two years, and Will,
he has done nothing to help any Of then
during this period, he certainly has don,
nothing to hurt them. SO perhaps he coul,
be claimnd as well by one party as by another
Against Mr.. Bingham or Mr. Chase tb,
next two nominees on the ticket, no word car
be urged, except their evil political associa-
tons. They are both very respectable nom-
nations in point of integrity and ability.
We know Of no law which compels the
ticket for electors to be selected, one from
each Congressional district ip the State, but
we think there is a manifest propriety in such
course, and are no little surprised that the
managers of these conventions, who certainly
had everything their own way, suffered such
an anomaly as this list of nominations to be
presented TO the convention But so they
did, and inasmuch as the slate presented was
so exceedingly fragile that it would not bear
much rough handling, the ticket was swal-
lowed with the understanding that some one
or two Of the nominated Electors should re-
sign, and that their places should be filled by
the State Committee
The nominations on the whole, althou III
fair, are not strong, and we confidently expect
to see them buried under about the usual
straight Republican majority this fall.

Mr.. Summers Position.


Senator Sumner has at length put an end
to all doubts, if any existed, as to his poiti-
cal position, by publishing a lengthy letter
to certain colored men in Washington, in
which he takes strong grounds for Mr., Gree
ley. His opposition to President Grant con.
sists Of a rehearsal of the bitter personalities
contained in his great speech, and his espousal
of Greeley is based on the assumption that
the Democratic party, in his nomination and
support, have all changed to genuine Repub.
licans In joining hands with his lifelong
adversaries, under the promptings of pique
and anger against President Grant, Mr.
Sumner seems to have chosen the moment and
manner of doing it with view to affect the
colored vote in the approaching election. In
this he will signally fail. As was said by a
distinguished colored orator at the Philadel
phia convention" We are uneducatcd and
uncultivatod, but God has given US an instinct
by which We can distinguish our friends from
our foes y and when they hear jeff Davis
and the whole army Of their oppressors and
prosecutors shouting for Horace Greeley, not
all the Summers in the universe can persuade
them that there is not death in the pot All
of the Senator's labored arguments can not
change the fact that the triumph of the Gree
ley ticket would prove victory over every
doctrine and principle of his whole liCe-the
advocacy and the triumph of which have
alone given him the euviabe position he has
attained before the nation aud the world.
We refer to the letter of Speaker Blaine
which will be found in another column, for an
unanswcrable reply to Mr.. Summers argu-
ments,

about year ago, when the Democrats
we're slandering the President, the Tribune
said =" We never knew the propagators of
such stories to acknowledge their falsity after
they had been proved, bat this makes little
practical difference, for the people know the
truth, and will honor their President all the
more for the obloquy of which he has been
made the victim. Judging from the past, we
should say General Grants enemies are taking
the best course to insure his election for
another term"

The Greeley Democracy are making a
great howl about the payment Of s75 900
for the Rebel archives. This expenditure
was made by order Of Congress for specific
purpose, and it win be found to be money
well invested. A striking illustration of the
value of these documents is afforded by the
fact that ia reference to Single case before
the Claims Commission, which was backed by
twenty witnesses aud had every appearance
Of justice, letter has been found which es.
tabishes beyond question that the witnesses
had perjured themselves, and that the claim
ant was in the rebel army at the very time
he pretended to be making great sacrifices
for the Union. la this single case, the pos.
session Of the archives has resulted in saw
ing Of sl25,00O to the Government, and
more than covered all the cos, of the "yel-
low trunks )" and their contents.

W. uouIse VIC viii NOT conceal the TACT that
in spite Of these declarations, Mr.. Creole,
did support the war. In the early days of
July, 1861, he proclaimed "TnE NATIONS
WAR Cay FORWARD to Richmoadw The
attempt was made, aud failed at Bull Run
and then he cried, July %, 1861, We have
fought aud been beaten. God forgive our
rulers that this is so !" Bat he did not pray
that he might be forgiven for bounding these
rulers and the army on to a fatal battle field
On the 9th, however, he confessed his Gown
terrible mistake" but at the same time
charged the chief blame upon the obicers who
ordered or planned the attack. 1t is not for
us to explain or defend the many nconsisten.
cies of Mr.. Greeley, but fairness in this ease
will justify the suggestion that, while he de-
nied the right of the Government to preserve
the Union by war, he might'also conclude
that when war was actually waged between
both parties, it was his right to support the
Government rather than the rebels. His sup.
port Of the war, then, did not imply any
change Of his conviction as to the right of Sc.
eeS'ioa or the 'crOag Of eoreion, and thi,
view Mr. Greeley has himself confirmed for :

A Cool Greeting for Grant at the
Boston Jubilee.

Into the presence of this great au-
dience, mp the center aisle marched
General Grant and his crowd. People
stood up to see him, climbed upon the
seats, craned their necks and stared.
That was all. Ayiolent effort to get
mp an enthusiastic scene was made by
some sleek gentlemen in tall black
hats who where posted near the CEN
ter door at which he entered. They
swung their hats, jumped and yelled
to start thunder of applause, but
the thunder didn't come. The effort
died out within forty feet of the door,
without awakening the faintest re-
spouse from the multitude, and in as
thorough silence as it is possible for so
enormous and uncomfortable a null
titude to maintain, Grant and his
crowd marched forward to their seats.
The number present is variOusly es-
tinlated from sixty to eighty thou
sand, including chorus. Yet all his
applause came from the parties men
toned. He should be thankful that
he got so much without having the
post-office aud Custom House closed
for the occasion. "Your people seem
rather cold here" remarked, doubt
fully, one of the Presidential party to
a Bostonian. oh, do they z" was
the response. Well you come back
here the day Horace Greeley comes
to the Jubilee, and see if they are.n
1t is simple truth to state that such
was the sentiment echoed in all parts
of the building.
When the Presidential party were
seated IN reserved place in the CEN
ter of the house, they were found to
consist of Grant, Hancock, Porter,
Dent, Fish, Creswell, Boutwell,, Rob-
q ION, Wilson, Loring, Gov. Jewell of
