A Baltimore correspondent Of the
New York World, writing during the
session of the Democratic National Con
vention in that city, states that gentle
man from Tennessee, who owned 100
slaves before the rebellion, stated that
before starting for Baltimore he WIS ap-
proached by al anti-Greeley man, who
reminded him of his previous wealth,
and said: Greeley did more than any
other man to free your slaves" whom he
replied, "that is the very reason why I
want him to try his hand at freeing the
Southern whites"
A correspondent gives the following
reasons why he supports Horace Greeley
for the Presidency: 1. Because he is an
honest man. 2. Because he is man of
intellect. 8. Because he is o pure pa
triot. 4. Because he is a man of un-
finching steadfastness to principle.
The New York Herald says: "We re-
cognize the courage, the manhood, the
loyalty of the Southern people, now that
the rebellion and it's causes are alike
dead and buried, and We admit their
equal title with ourselves to all the privi-
leges and rights of the Constitution.
We shall hold any Administration in the
future responsible for constitutional
treatment of that section of the country,
and shall regard an assault upon their
liberties and privileges as crime against
the Republic"
Colonel Shorter, in conversation with
hIr. Everts, of Montana, at the Greeley
headquarters in New York, said that the
Democrats down South did not care a
cent for Greeley's past record. Said he,
eve don't ask him to go back on sim
gle one of his lifelong principles. We
would not honor him as we do now if we
thought he could be persuaded or paid
to deny his old abolition record. We
love and trust him now for his present
record, his amnesty sentiments, and his
earnest desire for harmony and recon-
ciliation." Colonel Shorter is ON electric
orator, and made the most thrilling
speech at the Chappaqua gathering on
Saturday.
An exchange tells us that "the Presi-
dents stables contain eleven thorough
breds." This way the people have of
putting thorough in the stable and
scrub-stock in the White House ought 10
be stopped.
The following letter was received in
Washington few days days since, by a
young man who asked aid for Liberal
Republican weekly paper published
there, and is OF Importance, as it goes to
show the writer's opinion on subsidzing
the press:
"NEw York, July -, 1S72.-Sm:
decline decidedly to ask my friends TO
furnish money to sustain q newspaper in
Washington. do not consider this q
Legitimate political expenditure. If the
people will not support newspapers that
favor my election, we must get on with
out them as we may.

The New York iStdats Z,itung is severe
in its attack on President Grants admi-
nistration. In its leading editorial,
Wednesday, it said: 'The most effectual
weapon which can be directed against a
continuance of the administration of the
ruling party, and against the reelection
of Grant, consists in reference to the
State Governments of the former So
called Rebel States. In the Northern
and Western States no thorough inquiry
