Dispatches from the South indicate
that everywhere through the late Con-
fcderacy the action Of tho Baltimore
Convention is hailed with enthusiasm.
A few years ago If Horace Greeley
had venfured into, Georgia or South
Carolina he would have been hanged
on the nearest lanp-post. Now his
name Is cheered to the echo in every
Southern city, and the ex-slaveholders
aud soldiers of the Rebellion, the men
who always made southern opinion,
are unanimously in favor of electing
him President.-New York Ifibnne.
We take the above from leading
editorial, in the last number of Horace
Greeley's Democratic Tribune. 1t tells
the whole story.
1t means that there is an understand
lug between Greeley and the danger
GUS classes of the south.
It means that the man who proposed
to "let the erring sisters depart in
peace" thus consigning four millions
Of men, women and children to hope
less bondage, has been seen" salts
factorily.
1t means that the cratic old dema-
gogue who tried afterwards to force
Mr.. Lincoln into paying four thousand
million dollars for the slaves of the
south, has been interviewed by the
fellows who lately owned said Slaves.
1t means that the man who so pomp-
ously and indecently bailed JEFF. Davis,
and who later eulogized Lee and Jack
son as being entitled to equal honor
with Grant and Sherman, was doing
those things for purpose, and that he
promised these fellows that their slaves
shall be paid for and that their maim-
ed Rebel soldiers shall be pensioned
when he comes in. Otherwise how
can we account for this state of lowell
ness existing between Greeley and the
chaps who were so recently trying to
cut his throat.
If our theory is not the correct one,
will some one else tell us why Greeley
has gone over to to the Rebs, or the
Rebs over to Greeley?
We pause for an answer

1t is the plain duty Of every good
citizen to be a politician to certain
extent. You cannot under our form
Of government, evade this duty and
still be a true and faithful citizen.
Your business is your politics, and
your politics is your business, and you
cannot separate them. =
II good politics or otherwise good
government prevails you have good
times.
The people of France were apathetic
and let their government pass into the
hands of bad and imbecile men, and
In the space OF one short year, that
country toppled from the hight of
prosperity to the lowest abyss of pow
erty..and dispair.
The people ofthe South were blessed
with everything which the heart could
desire, yet bad Democratic politicians
led them into suicidal war, resulting
in carnival of blood, bankruptcy and
anarchy.
Whose memory is SO short and
treacherous that he cannot recollect
the stagnation Of business the worth
lessness of the currency the prosper
sty Of the Shylocks, and the constables
and sherifs under the the infamous
reign Of Buchanan. Behold the reverse
of this picture! Bear in mind that
the Republican party came into power
when bad politics had apparently par
alyzed the heart and purse of the Ma.
ton, yet it came to the rescue in q gal
liant manner, and not only crushed the
life out of the rebellion, inspired by
democratic politics, but has managed
the finances meanwhile in such mss-
terly manner, that the people during
the last decade have been more pros
porous than during any other period of
our history, Of the same length of time.
This is lengthy prelude to what we
intended to say in this article, to.wit:
That it is the plain duty of every good
Republican to attend the primary meet
iags Of his party, because it is here
where the delegates are selected who
make the nominations, and it is here
where the voice Of the people is poten-
tial.
On Saturday, Aug Sd, each township
in Wapello county will select five del
egates to attend County Convention,
TO be held here ON Saturday, August
the 10th.
This County Convention win nomi-
nate our important county officers, as
will be seen by the call elsewhere, and
will select delegates to Des MONIES,
which will nominate the State officers
below Governor, and who are newt
ably to have charge of our State inter-
ests for the next two years.
Ifyou want continuation of good
county and State government attend
your primaries to this end, and also that
you may have no reason to growl at
the result.

HORACE oRnHLHY's BARGAIN
AND SAKE.

LBingampton Republican. July 9Th, 1871
Our charges of collision of Horace
Greeley with the Democrats, and of
Waldo Hutchins, his friend, with Ho-
ratio Seymour, have been SO long be-
fore the public, in the columns Of the
journals, great and small-beginning
with the New York Times of Monday,
which very prominently reprinted
them ; and also the Albaiiy; Utica, Sy-
racuse, Rochester and Buffalo papers,
with others almost everywhere, and we
hear in other States, wholly outside
the range of our circulation, that, in
the absence Of contradiction or denial
of any kind, we are to regard the
judgment as confessed. The Tribune
has hitherto been very fast to derry or
explain what did not suit it, appearing
in this and other papers but It is silent
as the grave now. In order that we
may relieve it and the Democrats of
any delicacy in answering the details
we have given, with dates, &C., we put
our charges in form so brief, direct and
positive that they can neither mistake
nor evade them.
We charge:
l. That Horace Greeley agreed
with a Democrat in October last to be
candidate against the Republicans
for President II the nomination were
rendered him.
2. That he kept this agreement Sc
cret while he changed the tone of his
paper, SO that from supporter of the
Republican organization, Republican
administration and Republican princi-
pies, it abandoned its party, became
an enemy of the administration, repu-
dated Republican principles, and sub
stantially joined the Democrats. This
was while Mr.. Greeley held q Demo-
cratic prop position to be their nominee
for President, which he has accepted.
3. That Horatio Seymour, repre-
senting the leading Democrats of this
Stale, wrote to Waldo Hutclins, one
of Greeley's fright hand" supporters
and advisers in New York, on the
question of making Greeley President
with Democratic support; and that
Waldo Hutchins replied to that letter
on OF before May /, just before the
Cincinnati Convention.
4. That the understanding arrived
at between Seymour for the Democrats
and Hutchins for Greeley-with other
direct understanding -wasr ,c0nifluni-
Gated to New York and other delegates
to Cincinnati, and was the principal
cause Of tho nomination of Greeley,
who had at first little more than one
fifth the strength of the convention,
and who, for reason the country has
never comprehended till he received f.
nally the majority of votes, against the
sense of all, or nearly all, the original
movers for the convention.
If there is any answer to these char
ges, or to any Of them, we invite the
persons concerned, or anybody by their
authority, to come forward. There is
much more to be said on our side and
we may add that the facts points very
significantly toward other llate) repub-
lican company than that of Hutchins,
as associates of Greeley and Seymour
in the plot. The name of man who
has occupied very pro minent place
in Republican politics in the state is
given to us as involved in it.

I'M. Departure for tho

His Departure for tho West.
Rumors were prevalent yesterday that Governor
Brown had accepted an invitation to dine with Mr.
Ethan Allen, and that he was afterwards in close
consultation with magnates Of the republican party
at the residence Of the above named gentleman at
the Glenham Hotel, and at other places including
the now famous Lincoln Club. The truth is
that Governor Brown did not do any of the
above things. He dined at No. so Great
Jones street, and at little after one
O'Clock he, in buggy with DR.. Steele,
for Lexington, Kentucky He did not leave his car
riage here but finding the ticket office not open
was driven to the Glenham Hotel, after visiting the
residences OF Dr. Steele's patients At no place did
ne leave his seat till at four O'Clock he returned to
DIR. Steee's residence, Great Jones street. At
few minutes before five O'Clock Mr.. Greeley called
upon him, only to find Messrs. Ethan Allen, Colonel
Anderson and others with him.
Mr.. Greeley and Governor Brown remained In
consultation more than an hour, when the former
lett, warmly shaking the hand OF his c0',ere as he
departed.
Among the others who called were Ex-Governor
Herbert, OF Louisiana; Ex-Governor Mag0fn, OF
Kentucky, and Mr. George Saunders.
At seven O'Clock, all the guests having gone,
Governor Brown and DR.. Steele entered a carriage
and drove at once to Cortlandt street ferry which
they crossed to the Jersey Railroad depot. Cover
nor Brown took the eight O'Clock train for LexIng-
ton. He will remain week or more in Kentucky,
and Will then go on to Jefferson City, the capital OF
Missouri.

tend the meeting OF the State Committee, OF which
he is q member, and will go thence to Mississippi
and Arkansas, where he takes the stump for
Greeley and Brown.

were in low, undistinguishable whispers.
At nearly four O'Clock Governor Brown, with his

away.
At eight O'Clock the same signs of desertion were
visible, with the exception that the jovial face of

A Speech to the Democrats Of indianapolis
State Should No Longer Hesitate Con-
cerning tho Cincinnati Nominees
The Constitutional Amendments
and tho National Debt

INDIANAPOLIS, July q, 1872.
The democratic mass Meeting held last night at
the Academy Of Music was large and enthusiastic.
Mr.. e. 8. Alvord, Chairman Of the Central Commit
tee presided. Hon. r. A. Hendricks made the prin-
cpal speech. He referred briefly to the causes that
produced the Cincinnati Convention its action and
the acceptance OF its platform and nominees at
Baltimore. This action had been accepted by the
Indiana democracy, who now stood side by side
with the liberal republicans in their endeav0r to
relieve country nom the control Of cliques and
combinations. He eulogized Mr.. Greeley, and said
his unmpeachable integrity was conceded by his
bitterest opponents. This he considered the best
possible guarantee for an honest administration,
and that II elected he (Mr. Greeley would faith
fully redeem pledges made to the people. He
thought the abuse account about evenly balanced
between Mr.. Greeley and the democracy.
OF Governor Brown, he said, the pacincation Of
Missouri showed his administration there to have
been without reproach. The Cincinnati platform .r
people that 1t escaped even criticism. All could
meet and harmonize upon 1t without dishonor or
longer in the recognition OF the recent constitu-
tional amendments, but would neither approve nor
declare one of them ratified by the Indiana Legis-
lature without the presence of constitutional quo
TO ; be fowed in future. Mr.. Greeley had agreed
to fair, safe and honorable adjustment Of the
tariff question: which was to be settled in the spirit
measures shall originate in the House Of Repre-
sentatives. He read Mr. Greeey's letter OF accept
ance and said that the const tutonal rights Of the
States were to be respected and the local State
governments to be preserved. He thought that
the success OF Greeley would bring about real civil
service reform. 1t was Grants personal partisans
who were wrongng the people.
Speaking OF the reduction OF the national debt,
he claimed that had proper economy pre-
vailed the reduction would h4Ye been much
greater. Referring to Senator Mortons recent
speeches questioning his sincerity, he said
| and look forward to the future No fair minded
man understands this language as desertiOn of
| convictions of right or an abandonment of essen
| tial principles opposed the amendments to the
constitution, for thought then, as believe now,
| that during a civil war and until the passions
| excited thereby have cooled, the public mind is
not in condition safely to change the foundations
and framework OF the government; but now that
the amendments have been declared adopted is 1t
humiliation on my part to cease that controversy
to turn my back upon 1t and to declare that the
amendments must be respected and obeyed

alton.
In the Second Congregational church OF Newark
yesterday, an eloquent and impressive sermon was
preached by Rev. NJ e. Strictly IN behalf OF the
American Missionary Society, the preacher taking
for his text the words found in Matthew, XIV. 90
'Inasmuch as ye have done 1t unto one OF the least
OF these, my brethren, ye have done 1t unto me-"
The discourse, which embraced an elaborate de.
scription OF the workings OF the association among
the colored people OF the South, was listened to
with deep attention by the large audience present
The organization, the preacher said, numbered five
millions OF adherents and required the strictest
attention to keep 1t intact. The liberated slaves OF
the Southern states are sadly In want OF Christian
education, and the vast deld OF labor they occupy
requires many teachers and missionaries to AID Ia
extending the influence and power Of the society.
The reverend speaker closed with an appeal for help
taken up. Among the contributions In the box
lifelong and efficient abors Of Horace Greeley for
the good OF the c0ored race, continued through
evil and good report In behalf OF their liberty, en-
lightenment and Advancement In all that constitutes
