There the river glides on its winding way,
BY fields that are crowned with the 'rlpencd

Whose broad leaves shine in the sun to-day
Like the flaming banners that gild the morn,
And my thoughts, like tide that leaves the

ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, late Vice.

" straight-out Democrat" favoring the
Louisville Convention. He has been as

paper, the Atlanta Sun, does not assail
Grant. To this charge Mr.. Stephens re-

" 'Tammany ring,' and the Greeleyites
generally in the slang cry of corruptions'
"and 'defalcations' because we have not

AS we understand it, General Grants
administration has paid off upwards of
three hundred and thirty millions of the
"public debt, and lessened taxes to the
amount of over three hundred millions OF
dollars. In the face of these, and other
facts, which we have not time now to
"notice, we repeat, we have not seen the
evidence which would justify us in at
" tempting to persuade the people that their
finances would be any better managed by

General Grant. We, therefore, confne
