A BASE MISREPRESENTATION Co

is statement attributing to Gen. Grant
the expression in the early stages Of the
war of determination to carry his sword
to the other side and cast his lot with
that people, should he become convinced
that the war was being waged to pros
ecute the designs Of the abolitionists. !"
That this statement is wilful fabrica-
tion-that the President never uttered
such sentiment nor entertained it-ey-

readily comprehend. Butte place the mat
ter beyond question even in the minds of
partisans who would be glad if it were
true, the Springfield (Ill.) State Journal
relates an incident to show that at the
time in question Gen. Grant held views
quite opposite thereto. IL seems that in
1861, Gen. Grant, who was ON his return
from Cincinnati, in response to a tele-
graph from Gov. Yates, who had ten

the 2lst regiment, stopped over Sunday
at Lafayette. Here he met a mum Der

that should he have command of an
army in slave State, drawn up in line

their masters, he would suspend the bat
tie and unite with the rebel army in sup

ANOTHER CAMPAIGN FALsEHooD
NAILED.-The falsehood that Tom Muir
ply presented Gen. Grant a cottage at
Long Branch has appeared again. Gen.
Grant was never at the pains TO deny the
falsehood it has often been repeated
and is now furnishing text for demo-
cratic campaign speeches. A Mr.. Good
rich recently repeated this in speech,
calling out the the following letter from
Mr.. Murphy

1872.
Aon. Milo Goodrich, Dryden, N. Y:
SIR In report of speech recent
ly made by you at Ithaca read that,
speaking Of the President of the United
States, you said Z" He now revels at
Long Branch, in cottage given him by
Thos. Murphy"
Now, sir, this oft repeated statement is
wholly false. did not give the Presi-
dent his house, nor contribute cent to-
ward its purchase and so far as | know
and believe, he purchased it ami paid for
it with his own money.
Assuming you to be gentleman, you
will retract this statement as publicly as
you uttered. Respectfully yours,

SAN FRANCIsco. May 81, 1872.
NV Dear Sir, ON the dry the news was
received here of the nomination of Greeley
and Brown by the Cincinnati Convention |
declared it to be my opinion that they would
proye TO be acceptable to the southern States
pcoplc, and would receive in the ensuing
election their active, hearty support.
After the lapse Of little time, and the
southern newspapers containing the express
sion of public sentiment in their respective
localities had been received, / was &1atlfled
to find myself in full accord with my people,
and especially with the Dispatch and lfhtg,
of Richmond, published by two esteemed
friends, in whose sound Judgment and true
southern. feeling have the highest opinion.
at least ninety-five per cent. Of the southern
and western people living III this State are
for Greeley and Brown; also u large per-
centage- Of the Germans, and nearly If not
all the Irish. rs -"
/. The most singular feature in this contest is
the fact TINT the old-line Republicans [oriSi-
nal Aboltionists) are with us, whilst the
War or Douglas Democrats are either
lukewarm.in their support of Greeley and
Brown, or open and outspoken in iopposi-
ton. I will not be surprised if, as the cam
paign progresses, the leaders of that wing of
the northern Democracy should be found
lighting side by side with their former COM
panions, Butler, Forney, and Sickles, for
Grant; and, on the other hand, Sumner,
Wentworth, and Schllrz battling with the
South against him. The hour, however, has
passed when the so-callcd leaders of the De-
mocracy could cause detection in the masses.
This is evidently their fight, and the politi-
clan who essays to thwart their wishes win
find himself without followers. California
is as certain to go for Greeley and Brown as
an election is held; and think both Oregon
and Nevada will also be carried for them.
The delegates to be sent from this State to
the Baltimore Convention will be instructed,
no, doubt to vote for the confirmation of the
Cincinnati nominees and platform. The
present indications are that way. NJ.

If RAPHAEL SEMMEs and BRAxToN BRAGG
can vote for Mr.. GREELEY we cannot well
perceive how any southern man can see any
ilsupcr1.blc objection to doing the same
thing. These distinguished men do not pre-
fer Mr.. GREELEY for anything he did before
or during the war. They know that he
was against us firmly. But they support
him now because when the war was over he
favored the immediate restoration Of peace
and contentment by according to the South
general amnesty and equality with the rest
Of the nation, and because he is pledged to
the Cincinnati platform, which demands the
restoration Of State authority, and denounces
as unconstitutional, the Capitalization of all
power in the Federal Government; and, fur
thermore, because he is pledged to such re.
forms as; viii purify the Administration and
put check upon corrupt le gfslation. These
are the reasons that decide the conduct of
these distinguished men, as they also con-
troll the preferences of the southern white
people, with the Iarest possible exceptions.

he will carry the State. The trouble about

WAsHISGTos, June THE Hon. Henry
Sherwood, representative of the eighteenth
district of Pennsylvania, has just returned
from a visit to his home, where lie spent
some time informing himself upon the po-
litical situation. His district is composed of
Centre, Clinton, Lycoming, Potter, and Tioga
counties, being the northern tierl of the
State. The district went Democratic for the
first time when it elected Mr.. Sherwood to
Congress, and has been regarded as one of the
surest Republican districts in the State. Mr..
Sherwood says that fully one-third of the
Republicans Of the counties of Susquehanna,
Bradford, Tiosa, and Potter, all being
announced themselves for Greeley. He was
at the Reading Convention, and, by ! careful
count, satisfied himself that considerably
more than half the delegation to the Balt-
more Convention from that State would sus-
tain the nominations made at Cincinnati.
