THE American Free Trade League of
New York is Liberal Republican " or
ganization, but it doesn't like Horace Gree
ley, and claims to have been betrayed by
his nomination. Its disgust will find ex-
preston in mass meeting to be held in
New York, tomorrow Thursday evening,
at which William Cullen Bryant will pre-
side, and Messrs. David A. Wells and Ed
ward Atkinson speak. Mr.. Greeley is be-
ing stabbed from all directions and by
everybody.

ONE of the unmistakable signs of grow
ing taste and refinement is the multiplied
ton of flower stores in our city. There is
an innate love of flowers in our very ma
lures, and it attaches itself to our varied
sentiments of sorrow and of joy. they
deck appropriately the crest and the tomb,
the bridal and the burial, and are thus en-
twined with our dearest and tenderest asso-
Citations. Flowers are the sweetest and
purest educators of our children. Their
influence is cheering, refining, taste-in-
spring. They cultivate more of an esthetic
taste in the hearts and minds of those
brought under their education and influence
than it would be possible to inspire by all
the art-galleries in christendom. A flower
pot and a bird-cage, in every house and for
every child, is what the highest considera-
tions of virtue, humanity and patriotism
demand.

OyR CANDID OPINION.

We Ike General Grant but we care far
more for Republican ascendency than for
any mans personal fortunes. 1t is, in our
view, of great Importance that the opposi-
ton shall be kept out ofpower, while it is
of comparatively small moment that A or
B should tenant the White House. For
Democratic national triumph means resto-
ration to po,cer Of those aoho deserted their
seats an Congress and Their places ander The
last Democratic President, TO plunge the
counhy into The red sea Of secession and
rebellion. Though you paint an inch thick,
to thls complexion you must come at last
The brain, the heart, the soul, of the present
Democratic party is the rebel element at the
South, acith its Northern allies and synpa-.
hizers. 1t is rebel atHe core to-day, hard
ly able to reconcile the defeats of LEE,
JOHNSTON, BRAGG, HOOD, and PRICE,
and the consequent downfall of its beloved
Confederacy, with it's traditional faith in
Divine Providence. 1t would hail the cleo
ton of Democratic President in 1872 as
virtual reversal of the Appomattox sur
render. 1t would come into power with
the hate, the chagrin, the wrath, the NOR
tifcation of ten bitter years, to impel and
guide its steps. 1t would devote itself to
taking off or reducing tax after tax, until
the Treasury was deprived of the means of
paying interest on the national debt, and
aooat1d hail the tidi,ags Of national bankrupt
cy aoiM unalloyed gladness and unconcealea
erutation. Whatever chastisement may
be deserved by our national sins, we must
hope that this disgrace and humiliation will
be spared us.
Some of our readers may imagine that we
are about to improve the tone of our edi-
torials, from reading this much Of what we
have obviously not written to-day. To
those familiar with the peculiar style of Mr..
GREELEY, we scarcely need say, that the
whole of the above, save only the preced-
ing part of this paragraph, is from the pen
of the Cincinnati nominee, who is now so
eager to slide the Democratic party into
power over the Carbohydrate slope"
In February, 1871, Mr.. GREELEY dis
coursed as above, giving a description of
the Democracy which it must be exceeding
ly gratifying for them to read now.

THE World declares that "Mr. Greeley
is receiving the support every corrupt and
scandalous ring in this State. What remains
of the shattered Tammany ring, the equally
odious Brooklyn ring, the Buffalo ring and
all the swindling rings in every city in the
State are loud and Jealous for Greeley"
The remark is literally true, as every intelli-
gent observer knows, and it is one of the
most curious phases of this singular "re-
form canvass" .-aErEeE

WE are pleased to see that our city con-
temporaries are devoting less space in their
columns to politics, and giving some little
attention to the manufacturing and other
industries of Richmond. We commend
this improvement in their general editorial
management as one that ought to be espe-
cially encouraged. 1t is certainly crafty
ing to us that their attention has been thus
turned,

THEY are "fring the Southern heart"
for Mr.. GREELEY by publishing his old
articles from the Tribune advocating the
right of secession. Among the old follow
ers of the stars and bars these articles in
variably excite much enthusiasm for Mr..
GREELEY.

The New York World is not only pitch
ing its Greek fire daily into the " Liberal "
Republican camp, and especially into
GREELEY, but its Parsee merchant of
Apollo street, Bombay, fire-worshipper,
and late pupil of GREELEY, sahib, is pour
ing hot-shot into his locker almost as con-
stantly through the columns of that indig-
nant paper. The World is now engaged
in giving extracts from the Tribune, show
ing with what bitterness and recklessness
of accusation GREELEY pitched into the
" Missouri bolt" by which his present con-
free on the Reform national ticket came
into power in that State in 1870. The fol-
lowing is one of the characteristic attacks
of the Tribune on the Gratz Brown move
ment:
s. You ask as to assert a falsehood-
namely, that we are all in favor of en-
reimbursement when some of us are not.
The Republicans adopted platform which
left every one free to vote for or against en-
reimbursement as he judged best. Here
upon the predetermined rote aoas made.
We oa1ned the Republicans that THE PRE-
TEXT WAS A SHAM that enfranchise-
ment was certain to be carried anyhow !;
that the real object Of the BOLT acas to hand
the State 0Uer 10 SHAM DEMOCRACY and
free trade. 4nd that IS the naked truth"

THE fiery little WIGFALL, of Texas, is

THE fiery little WIGFALL, of Texas, is
again heard from. He is now out for
GREELEY. WIaFALL was valiant se-
cessionist until the issue became one of
fierce and fiery battle, when he found his
natural level and sank out of sight. In
these piping times of a genuine GREELEY
peace, he naturally makes his appearance
again. We are satisfied that a great, il not
irreparable mistake, was made at Cincinnati.
The reform" ticket should have been
"GREELEY and WIaFALL," for then ex-
tremes would have met, and the political
millennium come! The ticket might not
have been so Gratzityag, but it would
have been in better keeping with the alb
surdities of the hour.
