of marble from the left shoulder of the statue OF

L nc view OTleauS Tlcayu Wnlcn was not
originally in favor of the nomination of Mr.
Greeley, gives its reasons for now supporting
him and assisting to secure his election. The
Picayune says: when Mr.. Greeley was tax
en- up as their standard bearer by the Demo
cratic party, that party, purified by misfortune,
deprived of every Objectionable feature of par
tisanship by the changed circumstances of the
country, representing the JefferSonan principle
the right of local self government, and contain
ing within its bosom nearly the whole conser-
vative element of the country we could no long
er retain our attitude of hostility to Mr.. Gree
ley The moment he was accepted by this
great party, his individuality was merged into
it,and be became the representative or embodi-
ment OF a change to be effected in the whole
character of our Federal Government. With
him, if elected, there must necessarily 20 into
Congress large Conservative delegation pledg-
ed to restore the Government to its pristine
character. With him our Government must
cease to be personal and despotic With him
We may hope once again to possess represen-
tatlve Government and pure tribunals of JUS
tice. Believing that these and many other
blessngs-the birthrights of the American peo-
ple-may be obtained through Mr.. Greeley
election, it is our intention to give him our sup
port AS he is the chosen of the party, whose
purpose is to effect the reforms We have indica
ted, We shall strive to place him where he can
aid in carrying such purpose into execution. ;"

ln speaking of the re kindling of the old
fires, and reviving the old spirit of fraterna
feeling, among the people of the South, the
Petersbu.g Progress, after commenting upon
the course that has been Systematically pur-
sued by the party In power towards the South
ern States, says: IF we have not done our
duty in the matter of loving the whole country,
it was simply because We did not have fair
chance at it. We were in an admirable situa-
ton # let clone for cultivatiDg national senti-
meuts. a proof Of this appears in the spirit
in which the Southern people hail the nou,ina-
ton of Greeley They do not expect any par
ticular fayors of Greeley they are not caudi-
dates for anything. All they feel is that this
nomination is an effort to purify. the govern
ment and do Justice to all sections Of the coun-
try. They are ready to accord him hearty
support, With the understanding that he is to
be an honest President of the United States.
His nomination has awakened a new interest
in the affairs of the nation. His election will
do more to rekinde the fires of patriotism at
the South than any event that has occurred
since the war Tt viii mite -, ,,,ou

The Cincinnati Inquirer says: There is
one thing connected with the election 10 North
Carolina on the Sd of August that must be
borne 10 mind by the friends of Greeley and
Brown. Under the provisions of the present
Infamous State constitution, made by the Dayo-
net, the Governor has the appointment of the
board of registers and the judges OF election
throughout the State. This opens the door to
any amount of frauds The present Governor,
whose name is Caldwell, succeeded to the office,
after the impeachment and deposition of Hold
en- by the Legislature" He is a Grant man,
and not considered scrupuous. If, under these
circumstances, the gallant Conservatives OF
North Carolina gain triumph, so much the
more honorable to them.

Larry is gool -natured fellow, bat has one
failing, which is this-that when he goes to
his home at night he is frequently more or less
under the influence of contraband fluids.
Thanksgiving night he started for home with

ping-paper, under his arm. Larry found the
road to his house uncommon rough that night.
He several times stumbled and fell over all
sorts Of distractions in his path. Each time
he fell he dropped his turkey, but contrived to
pick it up again. On entering his house he
steadied himself as we'll as he was able, and
said to his wife

Lord John Russell called cab in the evening
to carry him from the House of Commons to
Chesham place. To the cabman he gave a
coin; but when, with proper care, he balanced
his accounts that night, he found nineteen
shillings short. He rightly concluded that he
had given the driver sovereign for shilling
On the following day he asked the waterman in
Palace yard whether he remembered the cab
man. Ia a short time the cabman was found.
Lord John reminded him of what had occurred.
The cabman knew all about it, and acknowledged
his rascaIity. Lord John suggested the imme-
diate return Of the money Cant be done,
your lordship," says the cabman, grinning.
Can't! why not? rejoins the immortal whig.
