zse Did Not Wait Long Enough.

'GENTLEMEN: l have chosen not to ac-
knowledge your letter until l could learn how
the work Of your convention was received in
all parts OF our great country, and judge
whether that work was approved and ratified
by the mass of our fellow-citizens. "-Horace
Grecley's Letter c' Acccntd.ce.
Mr.. Greeley goes on in his letter to say
that from the number and character of the
letters received by him lie is satisfied that the
action of the Cincinnati Convention has re-
ceived the stamp Of public approval and has
been hailed by a majority of his countrymcn
as tho harbinger of a better day for the Re-
public. This may or may not be true, as to
tho action Of the Cincinnati Convention. but
since that convention we have had a Balti-
more Convention as defner of the action of
the Cincinnati movement. BY this definition
we learn that Horace Greeley is to be used
as step-ladder in the attempt to carry into
power all The reactionary clements opposed
to freedom and equality before the law.
With this definition before their eyes the
people Of North Carolina, Vermont, and
Maine show Horace Greeley that he did not
wait long enough before writing his letter OF
acceptance to learn how the work Of the
Cincinnati Convention would be received.
And if Mr.. Greeley will have patience lit
tie longer the people of the whole country
will prove to him that the hatterers and
demagogues who led him to believe that the
grand Republican party was to be swept out
of existence by the great Greeley tidal wave
were only Turing him on to his own destruc-

The inventions Of the New York Tribune
against the honor and honesty of President
Grant, have thus far been shown up much to
the detriment Of that veracious journal. The
net result ofthe base ISLANDERS against Presi'
dent Grant and his supporters, is found in
the waning prospects of poor Horace Gree-
ley, who is now enjoying trip West, under
the vain delusion that look at himself by
the people will inspire them with such ahee-
ton for him as to make his election and call
to the Presidency sure. The Greeleyites
have tried calumny and have lost by it. The

When Hon. Henry Wilson, our candidate
for Vice President of the United States,
was in the shoe manufacturing business, a
Southern customer, being unable to meet his
payments, wrote, that by selling his slaves,
he would be able to pay fifty per cent. of his
indebtedness. This Mr.. Wilson refused,
giving the debtor q full discharge Of the In

A Stable Institution.-Just at the period
when all stable men were complaining that
the horse ontments of the day were unstable
remedies, the Mustang Liniment made its en-
tree in Missouri, without any flourish OF trum
pets, and within one year became the favorite
embrocation for the external distempers and
injuries of horses and cattle in all the West
ern and Southern States. From that time to
this, it has never had a rival in the estimation
OF accomplished horsemen; nor is its house
held reputation as cure for rheumatism,
neuralgia, sore nipples and caked breasts, tu~
mors, mumps, sore throat, earache, tooth
ache bruises, burns, wounds and sprains, a
whit behind its celebrity as horse Liniment.
The mothers of America know its value, ard
apply it promptly to the external injuries of
the ''rising generation" and in fact there is
not city or township in the United States
where the Mustang Liniment is not regarded
by both sexes and every class, as a blessing
to the community. apl9-+&weod

When southern democrats cannot allow
a republican torch-light procession to pass
without firing pistol shots into it, as they
did at Columbia, South Carolina, recent
ly, it does not argue that they are in a
veay good mood to become 'passevists.'
Passive resolves adopted by such party
in convention would be worth about as
much as Confederate bonds will bring ir

HORACE GREELEY'S BID.

The Tribune of yesterday morning con
tanned the bid of Horace Greeley for tn
nomination for President The itchin
for that distinction, which has infected s.
many leading politicians and been tn
death of them, has fastened upon him il
n violent manner. The symptoms have
been evident for some time. They hav,
appeared in his efforts to gain popularity
at the South, to make the present admin
istration odious to the people, and failing
in his attemps to defeat the nomination Of
Grant to push his chances in fusion Of
all the elements that can be gathered
against the republican party.
The position Of Mr.. Greeley as defined
by the Tribune is enterely independent.
He breaks loose from all party ties, but
hopes there will be two republican tickets
in the field. He knows, of course, that
there can be but one republican ticket,
that regularly. nominated at Philadelphia,
but he desires to see some person who has
been republican placed upon the opposi-
ton ticket as candidate for the Presiden-
cy, as best calculated in his opinion to de-
feat the regular republican ticket. When
he talks about two republican tickets he is
practising deception. Though he himself
were nominated by the opposition, his
purpose and the purpose of those who put
him in nomination, would be to defeat the
republican party, and he would be as
great foe toit as Seymour, Pendleton,
or any other of its avowed enemies. He
makes his bid as a leader against the re-
publican party and he knows it. Several
weeks ago he shaped the campaign for
the democrats, advising them to make no
nomination but to support the nomination
made by the liberal republicans. In his
view Of the case that was the course he
thought they should pursue to be success
iui. lie had not then declared himself
an independent. but as republican, speak
ing IRON within the republican camp, he
sent Out this advice to its enemies, II is
well that he has followed his words into
the other camp. Better fight an open en-.
envy than 4 secret one. However he NAV
try to balance himself between parties NV
explanations of his position and twaddle
about principle. every intelligent republi-
can will recognize him and the Tribune
as foes. and treat them accordingly.
The indacement which Greeley holds
out for his nomination is the power he
wields through the circulation of the Tri-
bune. He has endeavored to adjust his
platform to suit all the incongruous ele-
ments Of the opposition, SO that personal.
ly he may not be Objectionable, and when
he casts in the Tribune the bait appears
tempting. lie has really but one plank,
and that negative one--iliat protection

ing 70 getinto his present condition, but

The advance in the price of iron continues.
The large demand for iron rails is the princ-
pal cause. New rails have advanced in price,
and old rails continue scarce and in demand,
while prices for scrap iron show an advance
of ten dollars per ten from last weeks quota
tons. As to pig iron, extreme prices are
realized for both Scotch and American. We
also see that the nail and spike manufacturers
of the Atlantic and New England States, at a
special meeting held in New York recently,
agreed to general advance on all grades of
cut nails and spikes, amounting to fully fifty
cents per key. The present prices of Ameri-
can nails are now nearly as high as they were
during the war.

years the population of Salt Lake will be

cess, VIII have no more weight among re-
publicans than any other democratic pa
per. The Tribune has boosted of the in.
telligence Of its readers as class; we
think 1t will have demonstration within
the next thirty days by the decrease of its
subscriptions, that they are as intelligent
as it has given them credit for. There are
thousands who have paid for it in advance
under the idea that it is to continue re-
publican paper, who may keep it reluc-
family to the end of the year, but their
confidence in it is gone and can never
be restored until il is published under
some other name than that of Horace
Greeley. 1t may be possible that the
Tribune will have as much as it can do in
the future. to take care of itself, without
assuming to dictate who shall be President
of the United States, so that its assistance
will not be worth much to any man OF
party. Once joined to the fortunes of the
democratic party, it will be less respected
by republicans than the New York World
which they can respect for consistency il
not for its principles.
But Greeley and his followers have un
dertaken difficult job. Their campaign
is to be directed upon President Grant
