NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMIT.
TEE.

ZEN WOOD AND HORACE GREELEY.
From the y. Y Evening Post.l
At a meeting Monday night of the ma
tional democratic committee in Cooper in.
stitute, composed OF members from vari-
Gus assembly districts, the follCwng reso-
lutions, offered by Benjamin " God, were
adopted;
WHEREAS, The corrupt course pursued
by the present national administration
has caused "A large and influential portion
of the republican party to abandon the ad-
ministration, and in national convention
to select candidates to represent the prin.
| ciples OF reform that are deemed neces-
| sary for the perpetuity of our institutions;
| and whereas, the candidates SO selected
are men whose past history is a guaranty
for their honest integrity, and that they
will, if elected, carry out the expressed
will of the people.
Resolred, That unless q National Dem
ocratic Convention shall, in their wisdom.
deem it advisable to nominate other can
didates for president and vce-president,
we will support the nominees of the Gin
cinnaii Convention, believing that by so
doing we will succeed in relieving the
country from an administration that has
created distrust and dissatisfaction, and
seriously affected our prestige abroad.
A German delegate suggested that the
position of the democracy, after endorsing
Greeley, would be rather unpleasant
were the Philadelphia Convention to dis
card Grant and nominate Blaine for
president and Greeley for vice.president,
u course which be heard was contempla-
ted.
In reply Mr.. Wood said that he had
had an interview with Mr.. Greeley, aud
asked him whether there was any possible
ity of his Withdrawing. Mr. Greeley de-
clared that no action taken by the reprb-
lican convention would cause his with.
drawal, but that the failure Of the demo-
cratic convention to support him might.
1t was resolved to hold mass meeting
FOR the purpose Of obtaining an expression
of public opinion, with view of influence
ing the national democratic convention.

and Brown.
The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-05-15

The MOUND City JOURNAL has
entered into the canvass for Greeley and
Brown with much energy, and is doing
a good work in the good cause. In the
last issue of that paper, among other
'strong points the following is to be
found:
ave lose patience when reading such
Democratic sheets as the Chicago Times
and News. They would sacrifice tho best
interests Of the country TO save party and
then are 80 stupid they cannot sec what
the interests OF the party demand
This is rs true as preaching
"The Democratic party cannot now
turn back from tho Liberal Republican
movement. Such a course would be u
breach OF faith that would bring the party
into disgrace and contempt, and ruin II
forever. 1t would be an exhibition Of O
lack Of honor and integrity that 1t never
could SURVIVE
And this delicate hint may DO studied
with profit; '-
"The imperial Grant ring embraces q
few protested Democrats whose sole aim
10 to distract the Democratic party, and
now they are particularly desirou. to
break up the Liberal organization by
Withdrawing from It tho countsnance and
support Of the Democrats. Those treach.

JUDGE DOOLITTLE'S LETTER.

Elsewhere, in this issue Of The BULLE-
TiS, we publish letter from ex-senator
j. X. Doolittle, Of Wisconsin, in reply
to note addressed him by the editor Of
this paper. In the MAN, We agree with
the sentiments of the Judges letter, but
think he does not 60 far enough in the
right direction. There is an implied COM
pact between the Democrats and Liberal
Republicans-a contract in compliance
with the terms of which the Liberals have
abandoned the republican party and STEP
ped forward in line with the advance
guard of the Democratic forces. If the
Democrats should abandon these allies by
the nomination Of ticket at Baltimore,
they would prove 10 the world their utter
baseness and deserve the contempt of every
honest citizen of the republic. They
would sacrifice the leaders of the Liberal
revolt, and secure 10 the Radicals complete
control of the government for years Ia
come. No matter what the action of tho
Philadelphia convention may be, It is the
moral and patriotic duty of the Democrats
to stand shoulder to shoulder with the
Liberal Republicans until the close Of the
polls in November next.

From the Harrisburg Chronicle ,


A NUMBER Of democrats in this vicin.
ity express themselves in this wise: ave
pref er to select our own candidate for the
presidency, and in case We are denied that
privilege, We would just as soon support
Grant as the disappointed, fault finding
republican the Cincinnati convention has
selected for US
REMARXs.-The Democrats who talk in
this manner should make haste to get into
the Grant party. They are not entitled
to place among sensible and prsctica,
men. Tho Democrat who would as soon
support Grant as Greeley is no true Dem.
ocrat, and the Democrat who ands fault
with Greeley for finding fault with Grant,
with whom all Democrats have found
fault for four years past, is fault finding
fool with whom we desire no longer tc
fellowship in politics. Theo slogan I'm
a Democrat and won't compromise" has
lost its power, and many Of the old Bour
bon leaders who were in the habit Of play
ing on this string have come down grace
fully, and with their accustomed impu
dencc are now stepping forward to lea
the Progressive Democrats into the Lii
ersl party. Tho spectacle is to be see
here in Southern Illinois, and we have n
doubt we, Of tho progressive school, VIII
endured the contumely of these men nc
long since, will have the pleasure Of hes
, ing our reformed friends declare they d.
serve the thanks of the ofiice.glving vote,
, for leading in the successful attack upo
stubborn but yielding radicalisn,.

Novel Scene In A Court Room.

The Providence journal says An un-
usual scene took place during the trial of
the case of Burgess VS.. Anderson. The
case is brought to recover moneys won at
various times from the plaintiff at faro by
fraudulent practices. The plaintiff used
as an illustration of the technicalties of
the game, a complete faro table, with its
marking apparatus and silver cue-keeper's
box. An expert Mr.. Daniel ii. Helme
took his seat at the table and played the
game, the counsel and other spectators won
their bets, although luck was largely in
favor Of the bank. He then took set of
"strippers," that is, a pack in which GER
tain Of the cards were trimmed at the sides
to an edge, undesirable to the eye but
easily perceived by the touch of the dealer
BY this device the dealer knew the position
of any card, and by dealing two at a time
when necessary, was able to make the op-
posite players lose at will. This false deck
of cards being inserted into the box, the
spectators, betting at choice against the
bank, found that the dealer distributed the
favors of fortune all to himself, and were
at once convinced how immoral thing
gambling is. The expert testified that he
had been in the service of the defendant
and had used the "strippers" to defraud
the innocent customers. The defendant
denies the use of the "skin game" at his
place, and says the story of the expert is
fabrication resulting from personal en-
nifty. However that may be, that such
sinful game is possible seemed to be
pretty clearly demonstrated in open court.

Fixing Up.

Hyoung gentlemen who fancy their lady
loves so many angels because they see them
look so charming in the evening under paint
powder and rogue Gd li6itum, with false
hair, false busts and huge complications of
silk, could see them in the:morning at the
breakfast table before they have fixed up
it is probable material change would come
over their minds and they would not be so
eager TO jump into the matrimonial moose
with them. A few days ago one of these
young gentlemen in Cincinnati happened
in about the breakfast hour. Meeting his
lady-love in the hall, divested of her ar
tifcial charms, and taking her for servant
he passed her by without recognition.
When informed by the irate maiden that
she was not the servant the young man
suddenly concluded she should not be his
wife, insomuch as be did not believe her
half so charming as her flxins' were.
