be observed By those engaged upon the
Arbitration at Geneva on the subject OF
their proceedings, and the counsel en-.

the argument Of the British agent before
the tribunal. under the fifth article Of the
Treaty, the report Of the Committee Of the
Board Of Trade relative to the claims of
the United States. After examining these
claims, which are for the sum of twenty
five millions Of dollars. the Committee
says that eight millions will be sufficient
to cover them.
The charter Of the Texas (Southcrn)

lean Independence will witness no less
than three grea, railroads from the 4 Arian.

II they are not to heard in its councils
can they be expected to vote tho State

this State are sumcrous. aud iftherc should
be an attempt madc to exclude them from
acting with the party, It is our opinion that
the State ticket will fall considerably bc.

There are Republicans who will vote
for Greeley and Hrown. but xho will no.
vote the State and county tickets. These

The wilmington Commercial vindtcates
our position against the Cincinnati Balti-
more nominees, aud draws n parallel be-
tween our course aud that Of the Sussex
journal, the editor Of which took occasion
last week to refer to our editorial Of the
week previous. We do not need any as
sistance from the Commercial. and II need
not hope, by the Aattering notices which
we have received at its hands within n
month past, to induce US to support
Grant.
We cannot conscicntiously support ei-
thcr Greeley or Grant, and unless there is
a s,ruigh,-out ticket aud platform put in
the field, we shall devote ourselves to the
State ticket, the success Of which is far
more important to us than that Of the na.
tionnl ticket.
Tho Sussex journal, which the Dcla-
'cagean says is edited by brain,
sometime ago spoke Of the TRASscRIrr AS
a model paper" but recently has taken
great delight in condcmning it. This
turning and twisting almost leads us to
believe that the Deiawurcan is right
Several other papers have been taking us
to task for not thinking as they do. bu,
their words fall harmless and as it pleas
cs them and doesn'; hurt us, we say to
them, 60 on to your hearts content.
Every mans belief, political. religious
or any other, is the result Of his train
ing and education, and all should have
the credit Of being honest in their convic-
tons. We do no, stand alone in not
thinking that either Greeley or Grant are
fit persons for the Presidential chair
Some Of the nblcs, men and the leading
journals have taken the same position
Alexander Stephens and Robert Toombs
Of Georgia Blantun Duncan Of Ken
tucky, Willard Salisbury Of Delaware.
Henry A Wise aud John A. Lyons Of
Virginia, Congressman Dooli,tlc Of Con-
nccticut, the Savannah News, the Atlanta
Sun, the Louisville Ledger, the Chicago
Times, the Tcrrc IIau,c Journal, six or
eight papers in Maryland, all think us we
do, and VIC might continue the lists until
we had filed up our entire paper. Those
papers which have been so much at unrest
in regard to our position, seem to think
that we are the only Democrats in the
whole country who oppose Mr., Greeley,
speak Of us as setting up our judgment in
opposition to the three millions Of Demo-
cratic voters. OF the three million Dem
ocraiic voters in the country there will be
large minority who will not supper, Mr.
Greeley.
The papers and men to which allusion
is made above. aud many more, declared
before the Baltimore Convention met, that
they would not support Greeley and
Brown and the Cincinnati platform. This
was known by the Baltimore delegates,
and they knew that If they endorsed the
Liberal Republican platform and accepted
their candidates it would divide the party !;
and they knew Also ,ha, il regular Dem
ocraiic platform and ticket were put for
ward the party would stand together as
one man. Knowing these facts, let them
take the consequences Of their action. II
they elect Mr.. Greeley. they will have no
one to censure; but il they should be de-
fcatcd, let them ccnsure themselves.
