Organize.

The Presidential campaign for
1872 is already upon US. Republicans
Of the various towns of Grant Coun-
ty should at once take such steps as
may seem wise to completely organ
ize and solidify the party. To this
end Gran: and Wilson club should
be formd in every town. Theroppo-
sition will not fail to organize, and
that thoroughly at an early day.
Republicans should, therefore, now
devote their attention to this work,
that their whole strength may be
available at the polls.
The campaign before us bids fair
to BIO one Of unusual activity and
earnestness. Our opponents are des-
perate, and will infuse into the can
vass all the venom OF treachery and
the concentrated bitterness of party
malice. The line Of battle and the
method of warfare are already indi-
Gated The line will be the same as
marked out by Calhoun in Jackson's
time, and the weapons used will be
personal abuse, systematic lying, land
gross exaggeration of the most tri-
fling faults Of the Administration.
1t will be political guerillaism on a
scale never before known, seeking
but one object-the defeat of Presi.
dent Grant.

Startling Facts.

Since the close Of the rebellion not
less than t,Centy.three thousand persons
black and white, have been scourged,
banished, or murdered by the Ku-
klux Kans OF the South. The vic-
Tins Of their horrible barbarity have
been Republicans. Not a single
Democrat has suffered. Loyalty to
the United States Government
brought persecution, disloyalty ex-
emption.
Since the enforcement of the Ku-
klux acts by the present Grant Adj
ministration, peace and security have
reigned throughout those States in
Tested by the klans. The defeat of
this Administration by the election
of Greeley in Novemb Der will be the
renewal of these organizations aud a
repetition Of past outrages. Is there
a Republican in the land base enough
to be a party to so great u wrong 7?
Millions Of loyal men and women ia
the South are depending on our
party and its strong arm of justic e
for continued protection. The Gov
eminent must protect them.

What Greeley Knows about Know
Nothlngism.

1t has just come to light that Hor-
ace Greeley, the Democratic candi.
date for the Presidency, dabbled in
Know Nothingism some Is to II
years ago. The Rochester Democrat
notices a certain Know Nothing
meeting at Kingston N. Y, full re-
port of which was given in the New
York Express, August 81, 1858, and
states that Mr.. Greeley attended the
meeting and expressed himself in ia
Dor Of the oStrdcism Of toreign born citi~
Gems. In that speech be strenuousIy
urged the passage of alaw Owe quote
from his speech) "ercluding the for
eign born citizen from a Uote in the
State until he should hare resided in IL
as Tong as an Americdn-born citizen,
exercising the same franchise, 1. e.,
t,centy-one years." The speech is full
of sound (?) Know Nothing princi-
pies, and very plainly shows that
Mr.. Greeley belonged to the Know
Nothing organization, or at least
strongly advocated it's principles.

BALTIMORE, July 10-The election

was spread. eagle all over-a regular
sophomoric spread. After the APP
pointment of committee on resolu-
tiops and the appointment of Ma
tional Executive Committee the con-
vention adjourned over till 10 this
morning, at which hour il reassem-
bled. The attendance to-day is about
the same as yesterday, and it is just
about the same automatop-like ma
chine. The Committee on Rosolu
tions has reported the Cincinnati
Convention platform, recommends
ing its endorsement, which was done
in a boisterous manner, after fight
against them by Bayard, of Della
ware and others. No other resolu-
tons were reported from the com.
mittee nor adopted. The Southern
rebel delegates evidently voted for
these resolutions with mental reser-
vations; seventy voted dead against
them, and those who voted for them
did so merely for expediency's sake,
not because they really Endorsed
them. Then came the formal Mons
ination of Greeley and Brown. The
dose was gulped down easily-"any-

Enr PresidentiaI ElectOrs.
The Campaign opened-Grant or
Greeley-Republicanism or Dem
ocracy-The Same old Fight.

The two great political parties OF
the country that have confronted
each other for the past sixteen years
have selected their color-bearers for
the campaign. The Democratic Ma
tioual Convention that met at Balti-
more on Wednesday last nominated
Greeley and Brown. The Republic
an party in convention at Philadel-
phia nominated U. S. Grant and
Henry Wilson. Disguise the OPPOSE
ton under what name you please,
the impending conflict must be mar
rowed down TO these two parties
the Democratic and Republican.
The mere title of the opposition
whether the party is called "DemO-
cratic" "Liberal Democratic" "Dem-
ocratic Republican," or Southern
Democratic" nothing. Its men
and principles are too well known 10
mislead the people. 1t is the old
Democratic party in new clothes.
The great question which every
voter has to consider as between
these candidates is shall the country
in its government exchange certain
peace security and prosperity at
home, and confidence abroad, for
condition of doubt and uncertainty
in all these respects. For the last
three years the government has been
more honestly aud efficiently admin
istered than ever before during the
present generation. All the charges
against the personal integrity of Gen
eral Grant vanish into smoke before
the test of investigation. Mr.. Gree
ley, if elected, would call about him
and look for counsel to those who
elected him, and they would be main
ly Democrats. And Horace Greeley,
backed by Tammany corruptionists,
public plunderers, unrepentant reb-
OILS and proven traitors could not
make a safe President. U. s. Grant,
to whom more than any 6ther man
our nation owes its present existence,
the success of whose Presidential adj
ministration has exceeded the high
est expectations of the most sanguine,
who Notwithstanding the immense
amount Of solid lying that has been
done about him, when the facts are
reached, stands with garments un-
tainted even with the smell of fire.
Supported, as he will be, by the great
mass of the ever loyal Republican
party and u portion of the Democra-
cy, General Grants election in No
vember is no uncertain experiment.

s9- Hon. J. r. Doolittle is support
ing Greeley. In 1869 the Tribune
says of him: cable, adroit, and
early schooled in the arts of the self
seeking politician, be has for years
done his level best against the par
ty which has so honored and trusted
him. He worked like beaver, with
tongue and pen,t defeat Gen. Grant,
and his labors were crowned with
the largest republican vote and the
most sweeping republican victory
ever realized in Wisconsin. We be-
lieve the majority there would have
been 10000 had he remained faith
ful; it was swelied to 24, l52 by the
intensity of the popular detestation
of Doolittle, his works and his ways.

the largest majority of ny State in

his regrets that there had been any

How Greeley's Nomination IS Re-
ceiVed.
THE ENGLISH VIEW.

LONDON, July 11.-The London
Times says the nomination of Greeley by the
Democracy is fragrant instance Of party de-
moralzation. The Democracy swallowed
their opponents platform and candidates, con-
Tossing that they had none of their own. No
body believes that Greeley could be President
four months without making some terrible
mistake We cannot believe he will be elect
ed
The NeloS says his nomination at
the Baltimore Convention on the first ballot
and at Cincinnati on the 9th, shows the Dem
ocrats more enthusiastic in his support than
the Liberal Republicans. His election, how
ever, would not change the relations between
England and America
The Post declares that such fla.
grant 'sreluctio all absurdam," will largely
tend to bring out the abandonment of a system
whereby the people of America have so long
been deprived OF all real choice for their Pres
idents.
The Telegraph styles Greeley a
political weather-cock,o and SAYS: GAS a
Democrat supported by the South, he is en-
deavoring TO unseat the General who saved
the Union"
New YORK. July IL The Times
to-day says that by the action at Baltimore :,
Greeley becomes the Democratic candidate +;
that as such he should receive no Republican
votes; that not all the Democrats will support
him that he can have no claim on the Re-
publican or Independent electors.
DETROIT July IL The Free Press,
the leading Democratic paper of Michigan,
bolts Greeley, and says that The Greeley move
ment is engineered by Hermaphrodite organ
ization, held together without any principles
except keeping the administration of the fl
nacia affairs of the country in their own
hands; and the nearer it gets TO success the
worse off will be every financial and CONNER
cal interest of the country. The sham which
Greeley is acting stigmatizes him as an I'M
principled ofice-seeker. The only hope of
the country lies in his defeat.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Chicago
Times of to-day takes bold ground against
Greeley's nomination, and rePudiates him in
the most decided manner.
The New York World and Chicago
Tribune accepts the situation.
