FIELD DAY AT FORT TICONDE-
ROGA.

Announcements have already been
made of Field Day of the Vermont
Historical Society, at Fort Ticonderoga,
n. Y, on the banks of Lake Cham
plain, on Thursday, July 18th, 1872.
1t has long been the desire and in
tention of this society to have Field
Day celebration at some point of histor-
ic interest, and none seemed more aGml-
rably adapted, both in its historical and
natural surroundings, than the place
where Vermont's extinguished hero
achieved his most successful exploit,
and uttered those memorable words of
demand: "In the name ofthe Great Je-
hovoh and the Continental Congress %
The celebration is one which can COM
bine much of interest both to the citizen
of Vermont and New York, in fact every
American citizen who honors his country
and the struggles of his ancestors. 1t
affords the Vermont Historical Society,
which has obtained an honored position
among similar associations, an opportu-
nifty to invite its sister societies through
out the country to join with them in a
day of local as we'll as national historic
association, in looking over the ruins
and points of celebrity that surround
them.
The celebration is not intended to be
carried forward with great degree of
formality, farther than appropriate pub
lie exercises, at the conclusion of which
the varied localities will be pointed out.
The citizens of Ticonderoga take great
pride in their historic town and desire to
do everything in their power to afford
facilities to carry out the purposes of
the celebration and to aid the Historic
al Society in their field day pastimes. A
local committee has been appointed, of
which Col. W. E. Calkins, we'll known
and honored citizen, is chairman, who
will have charge of the immediate local
arrangements.
On the arrival of the special steam
boat from Burlington, at about eleven
o'clock, a. M, procession will be form
ed under the direction of Col. w. E.
Calkins, Chief Marshal, and march to
the ground selected, where the public
, exercises will take place, according tc
the following

DEMOCRATIC OPINIONS OF
GREELEY.

Perhaps Republican opinions concern
ing the Bushwhacker of Chappaqua may
be considered prejudiced just at this time.
But this cannot be said of opinions ema-
mating from Democratic sources. There
fore, we propose to give few of them,
from time to time, by way of showing
how the leaders of that party regard the
vain and weak old man, whom the par
ty propose to use as their tool in the
Presidential chair
The New York World, the leading
organ of the party, said in recent edi-
torial .~'...-7.
"It is too evident that Mr.. Greeley
has but the barest handful of adherents
who would follow him out of the Repub-
lican organization. whereas, on the other
hand, there are countless hosts of DEM
ocrats who would sooner vote for the
eternal Devil than for a man who has
been for thirty years, the fercest assail-
ant of their party"
Says Judge Lyons, Of Richmond, Va.
Democrat and one of the most distin-
guished jurists of the South:
''Of Greeley we know only that he is
devoid of all capacity as statesman !;
that he has been the advocate of almost
every disorganizing absurdity which has
annoyed the country and disturbed its
peace; that he has been consistent in
nothing but his enmity to the South ;
that with him he will bring in new
brood, as hungry, doubtless, and as un-
principled as himself, with Sumner at
it's head. [ for one will never vote for
him, and | trust the Baltimore Conven-
ton will nominate some man for whom
we can all vote, and not commit what
Senator Ferry properly calls midsummer
Madness 49,.
Coming again to the North. we find
the Chicago Times, the representative
organ of the Democracy of the West,
discoursing of the Liberal candidate in
the following vein:
"Let the Baltimore Convention drown
Greeley at once, and not prolong the
agony of his drowning till November,
when the fatal event is sure to happen
in any case. Before the contemplate
personal squabble for the spells involved
in the detestable Greeley, business, Grant
is as sure of the election in November
as he is to live to that time
Thus much for the Democratic opinion
of the man whom the Dolly Vardens
will present at Baltimore as the fttes
person to embody and adorn the princi
pies of Jefferson and Jackson.
We have no idea that these extracts
will have any influence with the enthu
siastic mob who are ready to throw W
their hats for Greeley. But some sobe
men of the opposition will be sure t.
read and mark them. This sort of read
ing will also encourage the supporter
of Grant. They know as we'll as tn
World can tell them, that hosts of Dem
ocrats will vote for their candidate il
preference to Greeley. Therefore the,
content to let the Baltimore Convention
do what it will, since Grant is bound t
be President another term.

We always knew Brick Pomeroy was
BRICK, and now we believe he is not
only brick, but brick-and-a. half.
Democrats, hear what man says who
has been through the Democratic Arith-
metic and stuck to you like Brick-dust
to bar of soap. "Every Democrat aOho
votes to give Greeley the nomination at
Baltimore, IS guilty Of stabbing Democ-
racy to the gerry heart If this be true
present indications are that Democracy
soon will be very dead.

Pat Donan, the editor of the Lexing-

that came out for Greeley for President.
Not much, Pat, you amt The first
man that came out for Greeley was Jeff
Davis, when he came out of Fortress
Monroe.

Mr.. John Crane, formerly of Glover,
but now of Virginia, is again in YER
mont on visit to his friends and old
home. He looks tough and hearty and
does not seem to have grown old much.
He represents Greeley stock in Virginia,
among the Republicans, scarce as hens
teeth. The Democrats, or Conservatives,
as a general thing, indorse Greeley, al
though many of their best men will vote
for Grant before they will for Greeley.
He stopped over the 4th in New York,
and says there is quite a stir among
prominent Democrats to defeat Greeley
at Baltimore, yet he thinks it can hardly
be done, but that Democratic bolt
will be quite likely. He has heard good
deal of political talk between here and
the Shenandoah Valley and does not
seem to think there is any trouble in
electing Grant and Wilson.

.'On to Richmond p was the cry of
the New York Tribune during the early
stage of the rebellion, after it had con-
Guided not to let the rebel States ''go in
peace. up to Cincinnati !'' was his
political cry prior to the convention that,
by the manipulation of political trick
sters, made its late editor Presidential
candidate. "And now for Baltimore !"
is the shout of the Tribune, more than
usually jubilant because the conference
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel did not de-
eide upon anything in respect to Mr..
Greeley's candidacy. What the confer
enee did was simply to hear speeches,
some for, and some against the Cincin-
natl candidate and this is so much bet
ter than the Tribune's fears, that its
exultation demands the EXPLANATORY
mood What about Baltimore SIM
ply this: Horace Greeley. a political
apostate from the Republican party, and
until lately the most violent denouncer
of the Democracy to be found in all the
land, desires and hopes to be nominated
by the Democratic Convention that is
to meet at Baltimore, on the 9th of next
July. Translated into plain English,
the Tribune's shout would read Nov
for the Democracy" In still palmer
English, Mr.. Greeley is to day fawn
ing and trimming courtier Of the Demo.
cratic party, and the Tribune is his or
gan. A more shameless and self de
grading abandonment of principle is mo-
to be found in the history of politics.

A great deal has been said about the
great west being solid for Greeley. We
have not been west, but have a few ex-
changes from that quarter which do not
talk much as though this was the case.
The Wenona (Mich.) Herald says the
amount of Greeley stock in that town
may be summed up as follows: New
York Times, 60 copies; New York Trib-
une, copy, and the Tribune man has
died since Greeley's nomination. No
other Greeley paper circulates here %
The Chicago Times says: I'm this
city of 100000 inhabitants eight men
came forward in response to call for a
Greeley meeting; and probably care
full canvass would show that this is
about the ratio throughout the west"

SOUTHERN ENTHUSIASM FOR
GREELEY.

The great strength of the Greeley
movement is claimed to be in the South,
where everybody is willing to forget and
forgive the past, and "shake hands
across the bloody chasm'' of the late
war. To show how the Southern hearts
gush toward the Farmer of Chappa-
qua, the journals opposed to General
Grant are publishing a speech recently
made in Raleigh by Ex-Governor Vance
of North Carolina, who is regarded as
one of the most enthusiastic Greeley
men in that state. Gov. Vance is re-
ported as follows:
He hoped there would be unanimity
at Baltimore, and was sure North Caro-
lima would give Greeley and Brown a
large majority if Endorsed there by the
Democrats. He illustrated the position
by humorous story of an old preacher
into whose hymn book some bad boy had
pasted the song

Old Grimes is dead,
That good old man /;
We na'er shall see hi

On opening his book one day before
sermon, his eyes fell on this hymn. He
read the first verse, and stopped with
surprise. He wiped his specs and read it
again, and then said, Brethren, | have
been singing out of this book for forty
years l have never recognized this as
a hymn before; but it's here, and |
amt agwine to go back on my book now
so please raise the tune, and we'll sing
it through if it kills US.
Now says the Governor, we have been
singing Democratic hymns for forty years
down here, and we have never recogniz-
ed Greeley as democrat before; but if
the Baltimore Convention puts him in
our hymn-book we'll sing him through
if it kills US. This was received with
prolonged applause.
If this is Southern enthusiasm, we
fear more will be needed than the mar
ket will afford. It is thinner than that
of the boy who said, Il kin eat crow !;
but don't banker arter it." So the
Democracy of the South don't "hanker"
after Greeley; but they are going to
swallow him eff it kills Them as it
will.

VICTORIA AND NELLIE GRANT.

Miss Nellie Grant, now in her seven
tenth or eighteenth year, is still in
Europe. DESTROYS of seeing Queen Vic
toria. she addressed the following note
to her Majesty, dating it from Langley

BILE to read these notes without being
struck by their sweet simplicity, and
without an increased love for Victoria
My Dear Lady and Queen;-
| am embarrassed at the official re-
quest, given through high officer (your
Lord Chamberlain, l think.) to be pre-
sented to your Majesty. | should dear
ly love to see you, that might tell my
mother and father that | have been thus
honored. | am but simple American
girl. That l am the Presidents daugh-
ter, gives me no claim to your recogni-
ton as a sovereign. If, with the kind
lady who is acting as my chaperone, l
mis- ht visit you, l should be very glad.
Our Secretary of Legation hints at some
political significance IN this opportunity.
| cannot 50 interpret it, and would not
wish to be so received, because it would
not be right, as | am nothing in Amer

Meade will do nothing that the newspa-
pers will go mad about, bat he will never

mark struck me at the time, as the high

proved, when the mistake was made, dis
covered, and instantly turned to advan-
tage, precisely az the Confederate general
had predicted.
