The Attempt at Restoration.

The plan of running Horace Greeley
for President proves more and more ev-
cry day to be scheme for the restora-
ton of the democratic party TO power.
At the time of the Baltimore convention
u pamphlet was circulated, favoring the
nomination of Greeley by the democrat
ic party. 1t was agreed, that, while
Greeley would take just enough republi-
cans with the democratic vote to elect
him, that, nevertheless, the democratic
element would so overwhelmingly out
number the liberals, that they would
practically secure democratic admins
tration, and that it would proceed to
fortify our outposts for future indepen-
dent effort to RECOVER ABSOLUTE
POWER"
But the GROWING argument of the
democratic pamphlet was the confession
of bargain already made, rs follows;
There is moral obligation resting
upon us to support the Cincinnati nomi-
tions. There was definite understand
ing between our party and the liberal re-
publicans, entered into by representa-
tive men of both parties, and with gen
eral consent, before the assembling of
the Cincinnati convention, that the nom
nations there made should receive the
combined support of both parties. Good
faith requires that the obligation so i'm
posed should be complied with, unless
we have been released by some unfair
ness practiced toward us by that party ;
and that can not be justly affirmed, al
though it has been cautiously asserted"
Here, it will be seen, was bargain
made before the Cincinnati convention
was held Do the freemen of Vermont
propose to ratify the bargain on the day
of election

WHO Is TO BE CHEATED ?-The North
Carolina correspondent of the New York
Tribune, addressing that paper before
the recent election, wrote these remarka-
bic and suggestive words.
The democrats OF the South, if Hor-
ace Greeley is elected, will be the worst
disappointed set of men you ever saw.
don't believe Mr.. Greeley has sold out to
them, as they think be as, aud there's
sure to be fight unless these secession.
lists down here are allowed to manage
him. You don't and can't know them
as we do; but mind what 1 tell you
this whole country will be overrun with
ku-klux within three months after Mr.
Greeley's Inauguration. Then if he
undertakes to suppress disorder there'll
be such a howl as this country never
heard.
Observe, this confding correspondent
does not believe "Mr. Greeley has sold
out" but frankly admits that the rebel
element 'think he has" Which part,
is likely to know best?

Gov. Whyte, of Maryland declares
that they are only using Greeley and his
few republicans " for temporary purpos-
es," so as to put the democracy perma-
nently into power. On the other hand
Charles Sumner says the election of
Greeley is to put the republican party
into power. Now who is to be cheated ?
And isn't the fact of the diverse claims
alone sufficient to make the duty of ey-
cry republican very pain that he will
vote for Grant and Wilson and thus take
no risk of being cheated.

The temporary purposes for which
Greeley republicans are being used this
year is we'll illustrated by the democrat
ic party of Georgia, where, being strong
enough to 60 on their own hook, they
entirely ignore the " liberals" refusing
to ooalesce with them ON State electoral
ticket, and the few liberals there have
meekly submitted and very humbly sup
port the ticket furnished by the "Gree-
ley democrats" That is the way it will

A DEMOCRATIC VIEw.-At Gree
ley meeting held at Louisville, KY, on
the I'd ultimo, Gen. Hodge, democratic
elector for the State at large, announced
that the democratic party, in taking up
with Greeley, had not surrendered its
principles. 1.-THE graves" said he, sc of
the gallant Southern dead who sleep up
on every hillside of the South, are re-
minders to me of the love for these prin-
ciples which still fingers in my heart"
He objected to Grant because he is a
republican because he is a member of
that party which waged successfully the
contest against my brethren of the South,
whose orators kept the fires burning that
filled the Federal ranks with soldiers"
But the point OF his remarks is here
Abiding to the report that the demo
cratic party were to have no share in the
success of the coalition, he said: "Not
only will Greeley not forget who has
helped him to his position, but pledges
direct pledges been given us
by him that we shall not be forgotten
in case of success" At the same meet
ing Col. Breckenridge said 81 dom

what he has said. He represents tn,
dawn of new era to us, an era that viii
restore US to power. Will that not b.
victory enough for power ?"

Political Notes.

The Burlington Free Press says
one Of the most significant "straws " OF
the present campaign is the canvass just
made of the towns of Chesterfield and
Ausable, N. Y. The result of the can
vass disclosed just two Greeley republi-
cans in the two towns, one of whom is
considered doubtful while no less than

Hon. Gro. w. GRANDEY.
Waterman, What of the Night?
Yours, very respectfully,

The political outlook of the State is
very cheering, especially has this become
so within a few days. As the canvass
proceeds, and men declare themselves,
it is very evident that the Greeley dem
ocracy have foothold in very few pla-
ces in Vermont. Every day we hear of
" old Tribune men," who at first thought
of going for Greeley, but when they
come to see that it is not the old Tribune,
in which they have formerly learned SO
many valuable lessons in sound political
faith, but bogus one that is now trying
to lead them astray, they at once declare
in favor of their old faith and that they
will firmly stand by it. The tide flows
from Grant and Wilson On with the
good work
In connection with the above we copy
the following from private letter to the
editor of this paper, from the efficient
Secretary Of our State committee, of last
Tuesday. He says;
From all quarters, the most cheering
encouragement comes. What seemed a
few days since to endanger the strength
of the republican party seems to have
been stayed, and many who were then
disposed to go for Horace are now en-
abled to discern the great difference be
tween Ii. G. the republican, and 8 Uncle
Horace the new hedged democrat"

Coming Back to the Fold.

Those republicans who at first entered
heartily into the Cincinnati movement,
and not governed by some personal ami
mostly, are rapidly returning to the old
republican fold, especially is it true in
this State during the last two weeks.
Their numbers to-day are growing less
every day and will so continue till the
day of election. A signal instance is
reported in Rutland. A highly respect
ed republican citizen entered heartily in
to the Greeley movement, and SO contin-
ued up to within week or more, when
on receiving visit from a friend, we
don't know but brother, from North
Carolina, who explained to him the true
situation in that State and the South, he
at once declared that he would support
Horace Greeley's party no longer. His
friend said that the Ku-Klux of North
Carolina and Of the South, in case of
Greeley's election, would commence their
demonstrations within three months, that
the lives and persons of all prominent
and Union whites and especially of the
colored people, would be in great dan
ger, and that their present subsection
was entirely owing to the vigor of the
present administration, from which they
expected to be released on the election
of Greeley and democratic Congress.
This incident above alluded to is said
to have had more effect at Rutland, in
winning back those who at first thought
of breaking away from the republican
organization this year, than all other
things combined. May il not also affect
others in the same way.
