srME SOBER SECOND THOuGHT."

Greeley for President, as against Grant,
most Of them now acquiesng in such endorse
ment. and many Of them boldly advocating
that policy. This is not strange when the
evidence is accumulatins day by day that
Grant and his thieves admit by their actions
that his hopes of a reelection depends wholly
upon the nomination of separate Demo-
cratic candidate. Grant and his hackers are
not fools, but on the contrary are as keen
and shrewd set Of villains as ever banded
together in any country. Their incentive is
money, Office, and power TO crafty their
tyramical natures, with the ultimate hope
of establishing monarchy in America and
boing the rulers themselves. They are re-
connoitering the American sentiment and
strength of parties as carefully as does a
thief before attempting a burglary. These
tyrant plundcrcrs have learned from their
hundred thousand official thieves ard spies,
scattered in every county in the United
States, that the people are against them,
and that their only chance for continued
theving and power is to secure the nomina-
ton of separate Democratic candidate for
President, and to that end the whole talent
and power Of these banded government thieves
is now bent. Instructions have gone ont to
every official, thief and lick-spttle ally Of
the central cabal at Washington to work for
securing Democratic nomination. Already
comes the news that Grant and his Murphys,
Leets, Stockings and other New York Gus
tom house thieves and revenue plunderers have
bought the New York World, a paper of
vast influence, and heretofore a Democratic
organ. Note the conditions Of the sale:
'1he sale is not to be made public till after the
Democratic Conuention II is to continue to oppose
The nomination Of Greeleyat Baltimore, as in that
,cay il can render the most efectual aid 10 Grant,
What Democratic paper can, with this
knowledge before it, aid the World in this
putrid corruption and downright treason to
the party, the country and decency? We
can answer not the PLACER UERALD--no,
not for all the hundreds of millions Grant
and his crew have stolen; others must an
swer for themselves
Again: Reliable news comes from Wash
inston that Grant and bis thief Congress have
secretly invited large number of leading,
influential Southern men to come to the
Capital As these Southern men arrive
they are told that if they will form league
and send delegates to the Baltimore Demo
cratic National Convention instructed to de-
mand Democratic nomination that the Ad-
minstration party, that is, Grant and his
thief Congress, will pass bill refunding the
vast millions forced from Southern men as
cotton tax for three years after the war,
grant Government aid Of millions to the At
lanta and Great Western canal, and aid
with subsidies other Southern schemes now
and to come before Congress. Here is a
direct offer to purchase the whole Southern
people, through their leaders, at the expense
of Government honor, and with the peoples
money. Grant and his thieves, carpet-bag-
gers and military satraps have outraged rob
bed, oppressed and bed the people of the
South until poverty, nakedness, hunger and
distress fills the whole land, and now, in
their dire want, seek to purchase them
through their leaders, that his carrion vul-
lures may feed from their earnings and con-
tinue the robbery for four years longer.
There is no name for such crimes, and no
punishment except hell itself, as pictured in
the book of Revelations. Why does Grant
and his cohorts stoop to these filthy, corrupt,
and damnabe acts of bribery, and all to Sc
cure the nomination of Democratic candi-
date for President? Will some of our Dem
ocratc cotemporares who also want straight
Democratic nominee answer? Who arc de-
ceived, they or Grant? Who are best in
formed of the effec. a Democratic nomination
would have OH Grants chances Of reelection
him with his myrads Of informers in every
State in the Union or the Democratic editor
who sits in his office calculating the election
returns Of four years ago, and blowing of
what we can do in 1872? In all sincerity
and kindness we say that next week should
not see fossil Democratic paper on the Pa
cifc coast, one working blindly in the interest
of Grant. Don't let hope be father to your
thoughts, and control your better judgment
TO us it is clear that if Grant is beaten it
must be by combination of all the elements
opposed to his corrupt administration, and
that if that combination is effected it must
be on Greeley and Brown, and the Cincinnati
platform. Grant may and will purchase
some of our leaders and leading presses, but
the fact will soon be known, and eternal in
fanny will follow these chattels to their graves
and curse their memory while history lasts
