a leading and influential lawyer and Democrat
in New York, and is well known throughout
Broome, Schoharie, Delaware and the adjoin-
ing counties. UnGer date Of the oath inst,
he publishes long letter in which, as Dem
ocrat, he gives his reasons why he cannot
support the Baltimore ticket. 1t is a strongly
written and impressive document says the Al
bany Journal, Which will be read with inter-
est and profit by the thousands of Democrats
who sympathize with Mr.. Becker in the pres
ent crisis.
The Cincinnati Times says: Alta very mod
crate calculation we believe there are thirty
thousand Democrats in this State who will
either stay away from the polls in November
or else vote for Grant. i3.m5}4Es Z II
Two hundred and thirty-seveni Democrats
have turned up in Allentown, Penn, who re-
fnse to obey the dictates of the Baltimore
Convention, and swallow the nauseating
Greeley and Brown mixture. Pc,
Robert Anderson signed the first call for a
Greeley meeting in Brooklyn after the Cincin-
natl nomination. He now repudiates him,
because he cannot trust man who must, if
elected, be elected by the Democratic party.
A straight-out speaks of his associate, who
goes the Baltimore ticket, as ga Democratic
ass, who has taken the Greeley saddle upon
his back.u w it 'li i'. ~ "L... ~ -
The two elements most active and jealous
for the hybrid ticket, are the Tammany cor
ruptionists of New York and the rebel re-
actionists of the South. No observer fails to

The Machias Union declares that Hon.
George F. Talbot, of this city, now in Europe,
is a Greeley man. The following extract
from letter to the Advertiser indicates the
character of Mr.. Talbot's Greeleyism as it
does that of hundreds of men who are now
confidently quoted tor the Democratic eandi-
date:
Besides his most obnoxious political opinions,
Mr. Greeley's personal qualities utterly unfit
him for the Presidency. He lacks steadfaSt-
ness and fidelity. He is claimed as one of the
old anti-slavery men, but he never was SUCH
The influence of the Tribune was for many
years powerful in the anti-slavery debate, but
Greeley neither wrote nor inspired its anti
slavery articles. He was primarily an Ameri-
can-system Henry Clay Wing, and always
thought anti-slayery should be made subservient
TO the elevation of Clay to the Presidency, and
the establishment OF the American" L. e. the
Protective system. He could write pithy and
eloquent leaders in favor of any Established
policy; he could never be trusted to determine
upon policy for he invariably abused the con-
fdeIfce of his associates to surrender to politi
cal opponents all the fundamental purposes of
his party under a foolish expectation of carry-
ing some local election. His sef-consciousness
was so great that he never for a moment doubt
ed that he was clothed with ample power TO
speak for the anti-slavery North as against the
pro-slayery South and North, and he wondered

Gasconade by eGov.o Kimball.

"Gov." C. C. Kimball and j. S. Lyford of
Maine, according to the World reporter, called
at the Democratic headquarters at New York
where the said Governor INDUCED in the fol-
lowing political ''fapdoodle:'' iaIs.
Among the visitors at the Glenham House
Saturday, were u. Lyford and Governor c.
G. KimballaOf Maine. In the course of the af-
terpoOn the writer had a conversation with the
latter gentleman i'll regard to the prospects in
the East, but as he is a candidate at the next
election for Governor he felt delicate in ex-
pressing his views, especially as regards his
avn State. He, however, was sure that the
contest would be very close, and it was almost
impossible to tell what would be the result On
close calculation, however, itwas found by the
State Committee that it required but gain of
ten votes in each town in the State to be sue
cessful. This gain is already more than made
and from appearances when he left on Thurs
day was in fair way of doubling The lead
ers of the administration party, who have all
along argued that they would retain the major
ity Of 10000 which was given at the last State
election, are now content with 1000, and some
even less. and" continued the Governor
with knowing winkl ''when they talk in this
manner you can be certain they feel alarmed;
and don't blame them, for more earnest and
determined set of men than these Liberals are I
have never known. They are always working,
scattering campaign documents over the State,
organizing Greeley clubs arranging for meet
ings, and thousand other things, but they
never complain of fatigue.
"How many of the Eastern States do you
think will go for Greeley?" asked the writer
"New Hampshire and Maine 1 am positive
of. From what have told you about Maine
you can judge for yourself Massachusetts is
uncertain; the result either way will not sur
prise me. Vermont will 60 for Grant; we will
of conrse make gain, but this is ali. Rhode
Island will also go for Greeley, that is if / may
judge from what l hear prominent men of that
State say. All in all, 1 know the Eastern States
will do their duty. The people are fighting
desperately for theta rights, and are determined
to have them"

was appointed by Andrew johnson, and re-

faulters named is Joshua F. Bailey, originally
appointed by Johnson, afterward transferable
another port by Grant at the earnest solcita-
ton of Fenton and Greeley against the equal
ly earnest remonstrance of Senator Conkling.
But the Tribune does not STATE that when
Bailey was making the Revenue Service obi
Gus by his oppressive treatment of'innocent
merchants, and influential Republicans were
making efforts to compass his removal, the
columns of that paper were, filled with en-
comiums upon him, and his retention was inn
periously demanded. Even after he had alb

1t is no longer possible to accept any state
ment on political subjects, which originates in

Perhaps this may be the way to elect a

have net entirely got rid of certain old-fash-
toned notions about justice and fair play it
looks as fit was the worst as well as the

THE Belfast Republican Journal, which
first introduced 'fPercie" to the Maine public,
reproves her rather sharply for undertaking,
in connection with the Boston Post, to foist
Mr.. Pike on the Democrats of the Fifth Dis
trict. Itobjects to dictation from young
lady who lis not entitled from years, expert
ence or proven political sagacity, to direct the
veteran Democrats of this District" For
our part we believe s.Percie" is a match for
any veteran Democrat in sagacity, but we do
not blame Mr.. Simpson for disliking greatly
to see renegade Republican like Pike, who
has no principle but determination to get
Office, coming in to push him, and other good
Democrats who have borne the heat and
burden of the day, from their stools. If the
Fifth District must be represented by an OPP
,ponent of the Republican party, it is great
pity that an honorable man like Simpson can
not be selected instead of soldier Of fortune
like Pike. But to do the editor of the Jour-
nal justice it should be stated that he is not
candidate, bnt gives his support to his friend

GEN. E,KnPATRIcK.-The7 advertiser thus
pontedly closes its notice Of Gen Kilpatfick's
harangue:S
One Of his characteristic Inaccuracies, it may
be worth while to notice. Gen. Fitzpatrick says, as
we have already reported, that he was wounded
three times before Grant made up his mind to
go into the war. Now Cullam's Register, the
West Point ''triennial," shows that Judson
Fitzpatrick graduated at the Military ACADEMY
May 6, 1861, and was wounded at Big Bethel
June 10th, 1861, after which time he was absent
on a sick leave, or in the defences of Washing
ton, for the rest of the year..-Yhe same accur-
ate record shows that Ulysses Grant command
ed a company of Illinois volunteers in April,
1861, a month before Fitzpatrick graduated and
was continuously in the service of his country
from that time forward to the end of the war.
1t is of small moment 10 inquire whether Grant
entered the service in April or May, few days
before or after Fitzpatrick received his first
wound, (Which he exaggerates into three, but
it may not be. altogether q waste of time to
bring speaker so ready with confident asser-
| tons for once to book. EqsEq $3.50 rts u.
| ID The plain fact appears, to be, that General
Fitzpatrick was for Grant and an Office four
| years ago, and got his office but has since lost
| it. He is now for Greeley and an office, seeing
nothing to be hoped for on the other side, and
| stalking his hopes on the election as gainester

ANOIdEh DOCUMENT.-A Washing
ton special says; ~HrYa rEil
The national committee are printing the re-
port of James P. Holcombe to Benjamin, rebel
secretary of State, for circulation. 1t details
his connection with the peace conference at Nj
agara. During the season he met among 9TH
ers Governor Hunt Ben. Wood, Buckalew of
Pennsylvania, and Mclean of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and heard from VOORHEES,, Pendleton
and Vallandigham Editorials in the New
York Tribune together with intimations from
friends in New York, had induced the hope
that the able editors of that paper entertained
more moderate views on the question of peace
than the Republican party. Sanders's first let
ter to Greeley was unauthorized by Clay,
Thompson and Holcombe, but afterwards al
lowed to stand. Greeley was deceived through
ignorance, knayery or folly of Colorado Jewett,
whom he Greeley employed, to communicate
with Sanders, Into the belief that the Demo-
Gratis at Niagara Falls had a diplomatic posi-
ton and were authorized to treat for peace.
They were anxious to go to Washington as the
place of meeting, so they could have chance to
observe the temper of the people and the re-
sources of the country. In framing their reply
to Mr. Greeley, they endeavored so to shape it
as to compel Mr.. Lincoln to disclose the trne
policy of his administration. In closing, Hol-
combe urged the continuance of efforts to GRE
ate anarchy at the North, to introduce arms, to
stir up revolution and to subsidize leading
journals. lINc3 81 m

.-a.7 y NEW YORK, July n, 1872.
Carl Schurz has found a witness. Gen.
Alfred Pieasanton, whom the President was
persuaded to appoint as Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue, went to Washington imbued
with the idea that herwas henceforth to run
the government. He began by assuming in
dependence of the Secretary of the Treasury
and continued by taking into his own hands
general supervision of all the affairs of the
departments. His oficiousness amounted to
monomania. He was demonstrated with by
several of his most intimate friends, but all
in vain. He became so dizzy with his eleva-
ton, and so wrapped up in self-conceit, that
he was the ~
