uENRY WILSON AT NATICK.

Mrs N. S. Wilson, writing to the Woman's
Journal, OF the 2lst inst, has this to say of
our glorious candidate for the Vice Presidency:
Knowing we'll the Hon. Henry Wilson's
noble record as lifelong champion of tie
poor and oppressed, and as leader in the
great reforms Of the last thirty years, but
understanding tho temptation ut the present
goodly number Of whom do not yet look
with favor upon Woman Suffrage; thought
that our future Vice President might be in
duced to give no decided approval of this re-
form in his speeches. But no! Bold and iea.-
less as ever, Mr.. Wilson asserts his principles
like true man. Too long did he struggle
for the freedom Of tue black man, amid the
sneers and threats Of the despicable but
powerful shareholders and their Northern
allies, to be afraid of any old fogics now.
1t was with delight that l, as well az thous-
ands of others. read the eloquent speech
which he delivered at his home in Natick on
the 9th instant. Allow me to quote the fol-
| lowing sublime Words
'Tsay to you to- night, l have been an anti
| slavery man for nearly thirty-seven years; l
have always believed in the doctrine that Al
| mighty God made as all and Christ died for as
all, and that we are all brethren, and that men
of every nationality and every race and every
color ought to have perfect liberty and abso-
lutte equality everywhere, the wide world over.
Aud don't confine it to men, either. include
women in that declaration, and never saw q
time in my life would not give to every man
everything | asked for myself. and to every
woman everything asked for my mother or
my wife. l believe that to be the Christian
doctrine, the doctrine of the New Testament
and the essence of liberty"
Noble man Those words of thine should
lie engraved in letters OF gold upon the ma,
tons Capitol, as our second Declaration oil
Liberty and independence, and thy name ge
down to posterity as our second Jeifersoni''

Doubtless everyone who remem-
berthe campaign Of 1868, will
recollect that one Of the principal
arguments used by the Journals
and speakers in the Seymour and
Blair interest, mas this: "Grant
has been fully rewarded for Lis
military services in being made
General Of the Army, and in being
enriched by munificent gifts Of
money, houses and lands" The
most important Of the ..gif Is" cited
then was the present of 100000
made in 1856. Mr.. Hendricks
participated largely in that can
vass, and probably used the aame
argument scores of times. He
must, ct ali events, have seen and
heard it and become entirely ia
milliar with the mater Of the pre-
sentation, as it had then been COM
mon talk for more than two years.
And yet, after ali this, he profes
| ses to believe that the present was
made in 1869! and doesen't seem
ashamed to use forgery in an at
tempt to support his assertion.
Well the majority of Mr.. Hen
bricks friends are more sensitive
on question of honor than he is.
He sticks to his calumny and
ciings 10 the forgery that he used,
They blush that their candidate
for Governor has disgraced his
party in digracing himself.

Col. j. y. Gordon, OF Georgia

Democratic harmony in that State,
in which he says:

Gratis in Georgia of such over
shadowing importance now that ]

Greeley's remarks, with the hope
that the good results you antici-
pate may 10 some extent be re-
allied:
'In company with sew ersl prom
inent Southern gentlemen / met
AIR. Greeley, at the request OF
Democratic friends, and stated
to him the fact that it was of great
moment to Democrats, and es-
pecially to the Southern people, to
know what class OF counselors he
would have about him if elected.
His reply was 10 effect this: 81 am
given credit for having some com
mon sense. / should not consider
myself entitled to this credi: if l
should turn my back upon ma
jority OF the men who had elected

allaying my opposition to Mr..

from the exalted horn Of the Springfield Re.
publican, which paper declares that if the
same falling off In numbers occur in Connec-
ticut, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsyi-

and New York gave 10000 for Seymour.
Vermont gave, in 1868, 80, La for Grant;
New Hampshire e,s67; Pennsylvania 2s,ssS;
Indiana 9,572. VermCnt's majority then was

4 Few Facts.

The public expenditures under General
Grant has been less per capita than under any
other President since 1910.
In 1860 the expenditures reduced t, gold
basis were s63 ,o25,7ss So, or 81 e5 par capita.
On the same basis the expenditures in 1871
were $751; ITO 70, or 81 16 per capita.
Of course the amount of public indebted
ness chargeable directly to the var is not in
cluded.
During three years of Johnson's admins
tration, with a tax of 81 gallon on whisky,
only $93, ZOO, 900 were collected.
During three years of Grants administra-
ton, with tax Of fifty cents a gallon on
the treasury was 1857 100000.
The expense of collecting the revenue un-
der General Grins has been one-half less than
| under johnson.
The aggregate receipts Of the Government
for the past three years have been 81, i65 $685.
1863 70; expenditures during the same tine,
| 1924 ,026 80, making grand total of
| money passing through the hands of United
States officials OF s.. O9o, 22a, 1876 SO. Ont Of
this amount the Government has lost through
deialcation only 81 ,o97.9 1868 81.
Since 1861 the amount of money passing
through the hands Of General Spinner, United
States Treasurer, his becn $50, I04, 232 ,2S2 "a,
| OF this vast amount only So, 037 As has been
lost through the dishonesty of the officials in
| his Office.
Since the beginning of Grants administra-
| ton the public Iebth has been reduced upwards
of $3.50, 100000
Since 1866 the aggregate reduction Of
internal revenue taxation has been S228, 000,-
coo.
When General Grant came into Office the
value of greenback was about sew .nty-fve
cents in guild, now it il worth eighty -Eine
cents in gold.
Our public securities stand higher than
ever; our public debt is being funded at low
rate Of interest; our credit is good in the
money markets of the world; our army has
been reduced to . peace basis; every branch
of industry is prosperous; wages are high;
and general prosperity throughout the land
greets the close Of Grants hrst term.
These are facts that the people appreciate
They know the, value Of an honest admins
tration Of affairs, and pay no heed to the fou
ISLANDERS raised by the Greeley Democracy
Grant still retains the confidence of the people
and will be a. nobly sustained BY the lo-a
/ millions in 1872 as be was in 1858.

A recent communication from Shelby

A recent communication from Shelby
vile to the Gazette says:
Maj. Gordon then addressed . large
crowd on the life and public record Of
Thomas A. Hendricks. As this is the
native place of Mr.. Hendricks, it was
especially appreciated by all. After
hearing Major Gordon through, we were
no. astonished that Senator Hendricks
wanted to turn his back on the past for,
in this particular, at least, we think he
shows his good sense. Major Gordon
stated and proved, from documents at
hand, the following facts in the political
record of Thomas A. Hendricks:
That he had misrepresented Senator
Morton and Gov. Baker, in speech at
New Albany on State finances, by not
telling the whole truth.
That he had made false statement
in regard to the time when Gen. Grant
ACKNOWLEDGED present o! United States
| bonds.
That he had falsely accesed President
| Grant of signing railroad land grant
bill, and of vctoiug bill for the relief Of
poor Indiana soldier.
That he had voted for the repeal o.
the Missouri compromise bill against the
wishes Of majority Of his constituents
That he had accepted an office under
Pearce, as reward for such vote, wher
defeated for Congress.
/ That he had himself been guilty Of thu
grossest nepotism, when in Congress ant
in the United States Senate.
| That he had discouraged Union sol
diers enlisting.
| That he had opposed every great wa
measure of Lincoln's administration.
| That he had never in any Of hi
speeches condemned secession
| That he had voted against the best in
terest Of the soldiers.
All of these charges re proved to tn
satisfaction OF all BY printed document
in hand. Every one was astonished t.
find the record Of Mr. Hendricks such
black one. The universal sentiment wa
that no deserved detestati5n Of all partie
rather than their votes fer the Gov err
orship OF the grea HoGsier State.

SILLY LIEs.-Thc Herald man, in his lame
attempts to bolster up the fcssi,a,ed remains
OF the Democratic parry, resorts 10 the mean
est O. lies in order TO accomplish his object
As aa instance OF his usual correctness, in his
last edition he says that General Baker spoke
a: Phillips Hall to al audience of less than
hundred people, This is nothing unusual
however, for this paper, and it is only q mat
ter of surprise tc US that any sensible person
will continue to read such sheet as the
Herald. We would suggest that the editor
retire to the country and confine his attention
70 the grow tn of cucumbers and squashes
and leave of trying to edit q paper.
Owing TO the fact that il was not generally
understood that General Baker was to spesk
on that night the speech was lot 80 largely
attended ON that occasion as usual at Grant
speeches here, but the crowd was much
larger one than we have yet seen ut any one
