The Liberals and IrIshrnen.

The st. Louis papers comment on the
fact that the Liberal Greeley politicians
in that state have given the Irishman the
cold shoulder. The latter have no re-
cognition upon the state or electoral
tickets. The Western CeIt has the cour-
age and the spirit to speak out and tell
what it knows about Brown in this style:
He has shown himself to be a politi-
cal weather-cock trimmer. a trickster,
and to be utterly bankrupt of political
honesty or sound principles. The Irish
American citizens of st. Louis, and Of
nearly every town in Missouri, supported
Brown, and contributed to swell his i'm
mense majority of Al, 00G over his rival,
and in all respects superior, MCClurg, at
the last GubernatOrial election. Not
withstanding the grand support and
handsome compliment extended by our
nationality to b. Gratz Brown, he has
acted toward them with unspeakable in
justice, baseness and ingratitude. he
has shown himself to be destitute of fine
feeling, honesty and fair play in the
matter He has dismissed Irishmen,
whenever he has had an opportunity,
from every lucrative and honorable posi-
ton in this state; and he has refused tC
appoint on any board or public body.
The man Brown has in every instance
Disseminated against Irishmen and in
favor of Germans. The Board of Police
Commissioners is q case in point. That
organization is composed exclusively OF
Americans and Germans who are permit
ted by Brown to perpetrate the greatest
injustice toward the lrishmen on the
police force. But we shall have other
opportunities ofcxposing thep eccadilloes
and utter dishonesty. if not positive cor
ruption, of B Graz Brown"

been considerably understatcd by the

settlement, and that the present colony
movement is only the forcrunner of
scores of thousands of Englishmen who
will speedily follow and make their
homes in the great grain belt and stock

Horace Greeley and the Democrats.

The Democrats have taken up Horace
Greeley as their standard bearer in the
present political contest. They have
chosen one who has strenuously advocat-
ed every principle and measure against
which they are committed. They would
not have been induced to this right
about face if they had any hope of elect
ing a Democrat. They hope through
his nomination to deceive the masses
into the support of the Democratic
ticket. If elected they expect to control
Mr.. Greeley in the interest of the Demo-
cratic party. Can they do this They
are assured of it. 1t is no hazard on
their part. They feel sure of bringing
sufficient pressure to bear on a man like
Mr. Greeley to mold him to to the Dem
ocratic will. He has already made a
virtual surrender of protection, which is
the only thing on which he has been
consistent. 1t viii be easy for him to
yield up everything else. With what
show Of consistency, or hope of achiev-
ing good, can any Republican vote for
Greeley as the Democratic candidate.
He will do so with almost a certainty
that his administration will be as Dem
ocratic as that Of Jeff Davis could be-
Every vote cast for Horace Greeley is
a vote for the Democracy and the rebels
of the South. If he is elected it viii be
by Democratic votes. His supporters
hope for Grants defeat What salts
faction can any loyal Republican derive
from that lie might crafty his re-
venge, but he will deny his principles,
defeat his party, and put his country on
the road to disaster. Can any Republi-
can, with a spark of patriotism, or real
love of principles, vote for Horace Gree
ley?
There can be no question that the
Presidential chair will be filled, on the
4th of March next, by either the Demo-
cratic or Republican nominee for the
Presidency. Let us all speak out in
favor of Gen. Grant, the representative
of the Republican party, and thus put
an end to the last vestige of the rebel
Democracy headed by Horace Greeley,
in the country.

Lead thy mother gently
Down iife's steep decline;
Once her arm was thy support,
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deep lines of care;
Think-it was her toll tor thee
Left that record there.
Meier forget her tireless watch,
Kept by day and nights
Taking from her step the grace,
From her eye the light.
Cherish well her faithful heart,
Which, through weary years,
Echoed with its sympathy,
All they smiles and tears.

Guard the priceless boon,
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.

Loses power to save,

battalion with Major [thcn Capt) Grov-
cr Our battalion was commanded by
Major John w. Bennett. while the 2d
battalion was commanded by Major
Wells.
Major Benefits battalion composed
of companies L and E, K and F was or
dered to charge a battery. some half an
hour before Major Wells battalion was
ordered into the fight. Gen. Fitzpatrick
joined us and rode some distance with
the battalion down the pike as it adyanc-
ed on a trOt to the charge, at the same
time tlOurishing small sword he carried
and saying he would lead us. As we
came within good range of the enemies
skirmishers they opened on us sharply,
also with their battery. Gen. Fitzpatrick
then wheeled off to the left Of the pike,
and shouted to us, as we passed him, go
in boys"
The mistake Of Major Grover is in
confounding the charge made by Major
Wells battalion with the one made by
Benefits, when the facts are, Major
Wells was not ordered in line full half
an hour after Bennett, neither support
inc the other.

LETTER OF GEN. WELLS.
BURLINGTON, Vt, Aug.

BURLINGTON, Vt, Aug. 81.
Editor Rutland Herald Il notice i'll
your paper of the Both inst, letters from
Gen. Fitzpatrick and Major Grover, rel
alive to a cavalry charge at Boonsboro,
Md, July s, 1868.
The facts are that late in the after
noon Gen. Fitzpatrick ordered a charge
to be made by Co.'S B. and G., (Vt.
Cav under command of Capt. Beeman.
The charge was made but repulsed by
the superior number of the enemy, on
their return from the front Gen. Kill
patrick addressed them in the language
quoted by Maj. Hazleton in his letter OF
the gath inst.
While the General was thus address
ing Capt. >Beeman's command, | came to
the front with Co.'S G. and II. (the bal
ance of the battalion.) l asked him
what the trouble was, when he repeated
to me what he had just said. He added
that he would lead the charge and. show
the regiment how to fight. | replied
that the battalion were not towards, and
would 90 farther than he, etc, which
they did.
MY recollection is that General XII
patrick did not even 90 as far as the
house referred to by Major HazletOn,
but was behind a hay stack, some dis
lance in rear of the house. The General
says the affair was of little account as
only one man was wounded. Had he
led the battalion and gone as far as he
said he would, he might have thought
differently. The report in the Adjutant
Generals office shows that fifteen 90
men were wounded in the charge, most
of them with sabres.
Col. A. w. Preston says in his official
report, dated BoonsborO, Md, 18th July,
1868 18th July.-Gen. Stewart with
large force attacked our cavalry at
BoonsbOrO early in the morning. The
First Vermont was held in reserve until
the afternoon, then it was sent by de
tachments to various parts of the field to
strengthen our lines At shutdown q
spirited charge was made by the Cd bat
talon, under Major Wells, upon the re-
treating enemy, and the sabres were
freely used on both sides.
Major Grover (atthc time Capt Com
pany K. } in his letter Of Both inst, refers
to the action Of Major Benefits bat
TALON, in which his company belonged,
and not to the battalion | had the honor
to command. Major Grover was not
with me at any time during the charge,
but was in a different part of the field.
