The Rochester Democrat (Grant republican,
makes cloud CALI upon Mr.. Greeley for
those letters that Carmichael asserts passed
between the Sage of Chappaqua and ex-Gov-
ernor Seymour and others in regard to the
nomination of the former at Baltimore. The
Democrat suggests that the aforesaid CORE
spondence be placed in tho hands Of George
William Curtis or some other administration
editor in whose honor Mr.. Greeley can conide
satisfying him that he has all of them with
him and that they are the originals. and give
them to the public. Well, let us have these
letters, the whole batch of them-if they are
to be had There is nothing like letting every
tub stand on it's own bottom, especially in
political campaign like the present
The Philadelphia Press Grant republican,
is hostile to the republican State ticket to be
voted for in Pennsylvania in October. 1t
makes no disguise about the matter, but takes
the bull by the horns, as if it meant to ''buck

day Colonel Forney maintains his loyalty to
the republican party by saying -

The Albany Journal (Grant) persists In
identifying the Greeley movement with the
Tammany Ring. It declares that 'the corrupt
forces Of Tarnmany are all alert for Mr.. Gree
ley. They have seized this movement as the
means of rescuing them from the position to
which the popular uprising consigned them
last year. Under its cover they hope to get
back into places of power where they can
again plumber the people. 1t is the Tammany
of evil repute that responds to Mr.. Greeley"
The Albany Argus (Greeley democrat) is
elated over the Western outlook for the model
woodchopper 1t declares that eff the demo-
cratic vote of the nation is put into the ballot
box in November for the nominees Of the
Baltimore Convention, Grant will be as badly
beaten as was General Scott by Franklin
Pierce, or Martin Van Buren, by General
Harrison" 'eThere is much virtue in your
sif.'"
The Cleveland Leader (Grant) does notappear
to think the charge of ''want of recollection
brought against General Grant by General
Pleasonton proven. It remarks that any one
will see on reading the testimony Of Pleason-
ton 'that it amounts to nothing as sustaining
SO gross charge against the veracity and in
tegrity of the President Such testimony
would be thrown out Of any court of justice as
utterly untrustworthy irrelevant and incon-
elusive. Pleasonton has simply shown that
he ran where he was not sent and said what he
had no authority for saying, when he went to
Schurz and offered him patronage in the name
of Grant"
The Hartford Co,want (Grant) gives much
prominence to the fact that the Buffalo Post
(democraic) considers the nomination of
Greeley at Baltimore an insult to honest demo-
Gratis" 1t is somewhat unusual for paper of
such character and influence as our Connect
cut contemporary to go all the way to Buffalo
for such little bit of consolation. Has it not
electioneering material enough at home?
The Galveston Bulletin Qiberal republican,
makes the timely remark that sit would seem
as if prearranged plan exists to insugurate a
reign of disorder upon any and every pretext
which suits the occasion as an excuse for mill
tary interference and for depriving the South
Of their vote in the coming Presidential elec-
ton" The effects of ''iring the negro heart
in behalf Of the republican candidates are to
be seen in the recent attempt by q negro in
cendiary to burn the city Of Charlotte, N. c.;
in the attempt to assassinate the colored Gree
ley Marshal, Ross, in the same State in the
tumult between whites and blacks in Savan-
nah, Ca; in the outrage upon the person of q
colored liberal republican orator at Brenham,
Texas, and in other deeds of violence committed
by ignorant blacks under the spur of white
leaders and in the heat of political excitement
The Bulletin properly suggests that the rad
ical negroes must learn to recognize other peo-
pies rights as well as to assert their own. Let
them hear with patience what can be said on
both sides Of the question and be content to
answer with argument not with the barber's
razor, the bludgeon and threats of assassina-
ton. Against thirty-fve millions Of whites
the five millions of blacks would, in contest
Of races, inevitably be obliged to go to the
wall, if not eventually be exterminated from
the land.
The Mobile Register (Greeley democrat) is
never mealy-mouthed when it has nything
particular to say. In this spirit it declares
that it ''means to elect Mr.. Greeley to the
Presidency, and means to elect him as demo-
crat." Somewhat paradoxically u goes on to
