COMpARKG NOTES.

The enemies of the present admins
tratiun are scratterlng broadcast over the
land wholesale charges of corruption
against President Grant and his subordl-
mates in Office The Democratic press
teens with SANDER, Democratic speakers
reiterate the faisehoods. and every effort
is made that partisan engenuity can de-
wise TO poison the public mind against
the administration OF President Grant.
Fortunately for the Republican party
the character of theN opposition Is too
well known by the people to make
its charges effective. Every school-boy
knows the record OF the Democratic par
ty. The recent Developments made in
New York city, wherc over S40,UUU, ,0UO
were plundered from tie city treasury
By Democratic leaders, show the honest
tendencies CT the party that is now trying
to cover its own rascallties by charging
corruption on he party that was instru-
mental in cutting short It's careeer OF
wholesale robbery.
Will our liberal friends and ''ill,ber-
al" enemies make note of the toll
lowing statements!
The present administration has lost
smaller per cent of the public funds,
through the dishonesty of officials ap
pointed since March 4, 1869, than any
previous administration.
1t has collected larger per cent of
the public revenue at smaller per cent
of cost than any administration since the
days of Jackson.
1t has brought to punishment larger
per cen: of dishonest officials than any
previous administrator.

1t is the FIRST ADMINISTRATION that hs

1t Is the first Administration that has
shown desire to still further improve
the ciyil service, ana has given practical
proof OF its intention to introduce reform
wherever needed By adopting system
which, in time. win bring into the service
the very best men Of the nation.
What more is needed? The Admin
istration is honest, capable, and econom-
ical. The most searching investigations
have failed to fix single act of cor.on
ton on the President or his chief off
cials. From the heads Of departments
to the humbiest clerk. the rule is official
integrity, while dishonesty is the rare ex
ception. If anyone is SIM minded
enough to believe that the Democratic
party can make the Government perfec-
tion they must be ignorant of the past
record of that organization. If reforms
are needed, some purer party than the
one that nov sits in judgement on our
shortcomings must bring them about
As we'll might we try to gather figs from
the poisonous upas tree as to try and
obtain an honest administration of affairs
from the Dem ,cratic party. The people
know this as well as they knew it in 1860
1864, 1868. They heard the same old
charges OF corruption .aised ther tlrey
hear know. They returned their an
swer In overwhelming majorities in the
past. as they win do the same in the
FUTURE

Political Notes.

A correspondent OF the New York Ii
mes, writing from Culrerper, Va. a
place made historic by the late war, says:
the support given the Greeley movement
In that section is wholly a matter of pol
icy, the people expressing just as bitter
hatred OF the Yankee nation" as they
term it, as when fighting under the stars
and bars" The writer thinks the result
of the election in that state uncertain,
with the chances in favor Of Grant and
Wilson.
The St. Louis Journal of Thursday
says: 1.-TWO days ago Democrats boas-
ted Of an assured majority in Missouri
for Greeley and Brown, and the blatant
delegates to Baltimore gave promise of
a majority for that ticket which should
be immense. To-day The only question
more votes than their opponents by 1--WE,
or ten, or fifteen thousand?
The secession organ in Baltimore thus
accepts Mr.. Greeley and the platform ::
The slavery issue is dead; the tariff
question is disposed Of by reference to
the congressional districts, but where the
Democrats want it, and when MIR. Gree
ley said let the erring sisters go. he ut
tered words that were virtual acknowl-
edgment fthe sovereignty of the states. "
The Detroit Post says the one term
plank was wildly cheered at the Balti-
more convention. the delegates. in that
cheer. revealed for once their honest sen
timents They were willing to swallow
Greeley just once; but one term of Gree
ley was all any of them could bear to
think Of. 1t he should be elected, one
term of bis rule will be all the country
can henr and live

WIZ SIRE TO FOLLOW.

Democratic Liberals grow eloquent
over the results which will follow the de-
feat of President Grant. The South
will embrace tie North. and peace and
good will reign everywhere" By what
means this "peace and good will'' arc to
be brought about in the South may be
Judged by the means employed in the
past. The Presidential election of 1868
in the State Of Louisiana affords CLEAN
of light on this subject. The Democrats
wauted carry tho o]oosion. AS they
could not outvote the Republicans they
determined to kill them off. How well
they succeeded may be learned from the
report OF the committee appointed to In
yestigate the affair. We quote.
'sThe testimony shows that over two
thousand persons were killed, wounded
and otherwise injured in that State.
within few weeks prior to the Presl-
Dental election; that half of the State
was overrun by violence that midnight
raids, secret murders, and open riots
kept the people in constant terror until
the Republicans surrendered all claims,
and then the election was carried by the
Democracy.
1t says of the riot at the parish of St.
Landry:
"Here occurred one of the bloodiest
riots an record. in which the kukiux
killed and wounded over two hundred
Republicc rs in two days. A pile OF 25
of the victims was found half buried IN
the woods. The Kuklux captured the
masses, marked them with badges OF red
flannel enrolled them in clubs, marched
them to the polls, and made them vote
the Democratic ticket.
This is not fiction, but words of truth
from an impartial report This is the
peace and goodwill which would fo!-
low the defeat of President Grant; these
are the "liberal" rights which would be
allowed the loyal citizen. The instiga-
tors and actors of these terrible crimes
are in favor of Horace Greeley. This one
fact should open the eyes of the people
to the full meaning of this desperate
combination of anything to beat Grant.
Defeat Grant, and the loyal people of the
South arc at the mercy Of the rebel
hloodhounds, who only need his defeat
to finish their work of blood. Defeat
Grant, and universal gloom will settle
over the South, and obscure forever the
sunshine of liberty which is beginng to
light up It's once deso.ate fields. Defeat
Grant, and civilization is retarded at
least a century.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1872-08-01

Day after day the news from the South
grows more encouraging. The Republl-
cans are wide awake to the importance
OF the campaign and are pertectlng then
local organizations to bring Ont every
available vote Ill November next. This
Is the righ5 plan to adopt everywhere
and Is sure to be followed by complete
victory. The out-and-out, rebel element
of the South is In favor OF Greeley but
the Conservatives those who followed
the fortunes of the eontederacy, but
since It's overthrow have honestly en-
deavored to restore prosperity to the
South by conforming to this lave OF the
United States, are dissatisfied with Gree
ley and though not openly In favor OF
Grant will do nothing by vote or lnHu'
ence to defeat him. Very many of this
class will support the Republican ticket
but the majority will abstain IRON vot-
lDg rather than help eject man whose
entire life In their opinion has been de-
voted to the destruction OF their interest.
From reports which reach US from sey-
eral Gulf States this feeling is very strong
among the Conservative Democrats
They are not In iavor OF Grant but are
decidedly opposed TO Greeley because
they believe his election would only add
to their trouble and prolong the return
ut peace and prosperity. The Unlonlsts
of the South are u unit for our ticket.
There will be no division among them.
Selt-intere>t and gratitude for past pro-
| lection will impel them to keep together.
They know that the Republican party
Is the only party that can protect them
in the full enjoyment OF their constltu-
| tional rights. For this reason they will
enter upon the convass with an earnest
ness never before known In a preslden-
llal election. Inc lookout South Is
| hopefully bright with coming victory.
| Our friends must not rest In their labors
| nor permit the feeling of self.security
TO Iull them into inactivity. Our enc
mics are vigilant, active, desperate
| ready to take advantage of every weak
point. They will attack US with desper-
ATE energy they must find US strongly
intrenched prepared TO roll them back
in utter confusion and defeat. Ii the
loyal element of the North can catch
the aspiration which prompts the 10y
alists OF the South TO earnest action, we
shall sweep the nation for Grant and
Wilson by ovorrhelmina loajority-

Greeley and Brown are bY no

Greeley and Brown are by no means
acceptable to the Democracy of Georgia.
The Atlanta Sun, the organ of the Dem
ocratic Governor Of the state, deelire to
support them. The Constitution, the Of
fetal state paper. the editor of which
was Baltimore delegate, demurs TO the
platform and is frigi1. The Gazette,
published at Washington in the same
state declares that it is no more in favor
of Greeley than when he was nominated
at Cincinnati Its language is. The
election ofGrant we look upon as certain,
and fear the Democracy is dead. The
Quitman Banner, says it has never been
called upon to record so humiliating a
fact as that of Greeley's nomination by a
Democratic convention. 1t is estimated
that at least 25. 600 Georgia Democrats
will refuse to vote for Greeley.

ORGANISE FOR VICTORY.

The campaign before us bids fair to be
one Of unusual activity and earnestness.
Our opponcnts are desperate, and will IN
fuse into the canvass all the treachefy
and concentrated bitterness Of party
malice. The line of battle and the meth
cd of warfare are already indicated. The
line will be the same as marked ont by
Calhoun in Jacksons 3 time, and tie
weapons used will be personal abuse,
sytematic lying, and gross exaggeratlou
of the most tritiinS faults of the Admin
istration Ii will be political guerrlliaim
on :, scale never known before. the COM
hination of every element of m >rai de
p,avity, devoid of principle, seeking
but one ohject-the defeat o. President
as desperate as General Lees last effort
to break the line which enveIoped his
army at Apromattox and the result will
be the same. After November next
Horace Greeley can repeat his old opin-
ion of our leaders ability" Genera!
Grant hos neUrr been defeated, and
NEVER WILL BE.
We feel assured of certain victory, but
we must make the defeat of the enemy
not only defeat but disastrous rout.-
We can hold our present Positions, but
we must drive the enemy from the posi-
tions they hold. We can do it, and if
every Republican will work from now
until November as if the salvation of
the Republic depended on its Individual
exertion. we can elect Grant with as
large majority as endorsed Abraham
Lincoln for second term. We must
have thorough organization: every dis
trict must be canvassed; local commit
tees must be active in watching and
counteracting every movement OF the
enemy. Our work must be thorough
aIId eTTeCSuut, w frerr tho day of
election comes we shall present an un-
broken front and poll every vote possible
for the support Of our ticket. We want
something more than drawn battle that
shall leave us in possession of the field
We want to win victory which shall
leave our opponents so shattered and de,
moralized that it will take at least half
century for them to recover sufficiently
to make another stand against the great
party of progress and liberty.

THE Douglass County (Ill.) Democeat

THE Douglass County (Ill.) Den,oceat
has serious objections to following, after
Democratic principles disappear. The
following is the Democrats very sensible
reasoning
Either the Democratic party in the
past have been right, OR they have beer
wrong. If wrong. then let the members
Of it come out like men and acknowledge
that they have all their lives been either
fools or knaves, and ask a1mittance into
the Radical party through the front door
and not endeavor to creep in the back way
or over the wall. 1fright, then let them
stand up like free born white men ard as
sert their manhood, and refuse to be bar
tered like slaves in the market, by set
of selfappointed leaders. whose record is
that of the unscrupulous political trickstel
and ofice-seeker, who, if he had lived in
the time of Christ, would have wormec
his slimly carcass into the company of the
disciples in order to get the opportunity
to sell out his matter at large discount
upon the price received by Judas. "

Startling Facts.

Since the close of the rebellion not less
than tooenty-three thousand persons. black
and white, have been scourged, hanished,
or murdered by the Kuklux Klans OF
the South. The victims of their horri.
BILE barbarity have been Republicans
Not single Democrat has suffered.
Loyalty to the United States Govern
meut brought persecution; disloyalty ex-
emption.
Since the enforcement of the Kuklux
acts by the present Administration. peace
and Security have reigned through hout
those States Infested by the Klans. The
defeat of this Administration would be
the renewal of these organizations and a
repetition Of past outrages. is there a
Republican in the land base enough to
be party to so great wrong? Millions
of loyal men and women South are de
pending on our party and its strong arm
of justice for continued protection. The
Government must protect them.

How the Democratic Reputation of
Greeley Increases Subscribers.
TIE last Prairie Du Chen Courier, a
Democratic newspaper, says:

TIE last Prairie Du Chen Courier, a
Democratic newspaper, says:
The present trying political position,
tor finds himself placed by the policy Of
ambitious party leaders, has developed
high and noble spilit Of newspaper in
dependence" in every State. The nomi-
nation of Horace Greeley, an old line
back abolition, anti j ackson, Temperate
fanatic, native American High Tariff ad
vocate, and ever and still an avowed ene-
my of every principle OF Democracy, as
enunciated by our party for half q centu-
ry, is an act o." King Caucus" repudiat-
ed by very many editors of true Demo
cratic jouI IDai., that represent the real
sentiment OF thousands of the best men
IN our country.
This ''indepeEdence" of all policy poll
! ticians. is creditabe to the character of
the press of our nation, 1t is the true
lever, that will, if ever, raise Denoci a.
ey to permanent success. 1t Is the last
plank Of safety between the freedom of
elect ,rs and the tyranny of caucus dicta
tors The ''independens" Democratic
press of the land can, and will alone dis
pei all chances of Greeley's election, for
any De emocrat's vote. and no Democrat
is under obligations to support him.
And tens and hundreds of thousands of
their Democratic readers entertain and
will act on this firm conviction.
Greeley acW Meier be President. The
politicians who look only to chance of
local success in Congl essionai districts,
or counties, or perhaps in some States,
consequent upon the breaking up of the
great Democratic organization, may
curse the independence" that will not
bow to their dictation. But their curses"
like chickens. will surely come to roost.
The independent Journal will be read.
The people will sustain them. Their
circulation will increase. Even this
humble sheet already realizes this fact. -
Every day, almost hourly, the subscrip-
ton list of the Courier is increasing =
This is not the result of mere curiosity to
read what stubborn tool' may write;
but it is evidence that Democrats cannot
be bought, bargained and transferred,
notens Uolens, to the support of an ancient
aud present enemy to Democratic princi
plies by any self-constituted leaders.
And next November, when Greeley is
certain to be defeated, and the policy
leaders will look around upon the field
lost by cowardIy dshonor. the Indie
pendent Democrats whose earnest
pleadings were unheeded, will have this
one consolation:
You can say I did It,!
The political course Of the Courier and
hundreds of his Democratic supporters,
is not half as strange as to see some OF
the Observation-Disclosures papers
''eating dirt and supporting Greeley.
