AUGUSTA, ME-, Aug. 15.-Mr.
Greeley left Portland this morning
on special train for Augusta. A
dense crowd collected at all the
stopping places along the route. At
Brunswick Greeley spoke briefly.
At Gardner he was met by a recep-
ton committee from this city. The
arrived here about noon. A large
crowd had assembled, there being
at least four thousand people at the
depot and in the streets. Carriages
were in waiting for the guests, and
amid the cheers of the multitude
and the firing of salutes, a process
ion of carriages, preceded by a band
of music and cavalcade of one
hundred and fifty horsemen, pro-
ceeded to the Cashnoe House bal
cOny, which had been decorated
with flags. ETC., and an arrangement
made for public speaking.
Mr.. Greeley made a short speech
here after which he left Augusta
for Portland.

he caused them to separate; it was
not long before he smacked his
mouth over the delicious flesh of the
four bulls, whom he had attacked
and killed one by one. There is no
cOlOred man but who will admit
that he will fare better if he lives
in peace with the white men around
him nor will any white man deny
that he will do better if he is at
peace with the cOlOred men about
him. This being selfevident, it
needs no proof to convince our read
ers that the present PROSTATE and
impoverished condition of all classes
in the South is mainly, if not solely,
attributable to the tyranny, prOScrip-
ton and oppression of the Southern
white people by the general gov
eminent. under the administration
of President Grant. Had it not
been for this treatment, the South
ern States, in wealth and general
prosperity, would to-day compare
favorably with other sections Of our
great country. We advocate, then,
the election of Greeley, because his
administration will bring peace to
the country, and unite the people
of the South in friendship. Bicker-
ings and dissensions will cease, and
the white and cOlOred citizens will
make this section great, prosperous
and wealthy, as nature designed it
to be. With the cOlored people, so
far as their civil rights are concern
ed, it matters nothing which of the
two, Greeley or Grant, will be elect
ed. With the whites, though, it
does matter, for Grant is pledged
and committed to keep up the bit
terness between the races in our Sec
ton, while the chief plank in Gree
ley's platform is reconciliation be
t,reen the sections. The blacks will
not be benefited by Grants re-elec-
ton, nor be injured in the slightest
degree, by the election of Greeley.
On the other hand, the continuance
in power of Grant and his admins
tratiOn will injure the whites of the
South, and, consequently, will re-
suit i'll the injury Of the material in
terests of the blacks.
In our next, we will pursue this
idea further, and endeavOr to show
that it is no less important to the
blacks than to the whites, that Gree
ley should be supported by the
South, and elected President in No
vember.

~In 1861, Grant, now President
of the United States, and candidate
for reelection, then an officer in the
United States Army, stated that he
would resign his commission and go
home, elf thought the war was
waged to free the negro" In 1858,
Henry Wilson, then a Senator in
Congress, and now a candidate for
Vice President on the Grant ticket,
made a speech, in which ne used
the following language: "We be-
lieve that slavery in the States is
local institution that we are not
responsible for its existence, and
that we have no legal authority to
interfere with it in any way what
ever. I am content to Ieare Slavery
to tho people Of the States achere it
xoso erists. 1 recognize the Demo
cratic doctrine of States Rights in
the application to slavery, as well
as to other local affairs" In 1860,
b. +. Butler was such a Jealous
Southern man, and SO bitterly Op-
posed to human freedom, that he
advocated the election of Jefferson
Davis to the Presidency of the Uni
ted States.
To-day, these three men are the
peculiar champions of the cOlOred
race, and teach that the Southern
white man is utterly unworthy of
confidence, and the bitter enemy of
the colored man and his welfare.
Like the few corrupt men in Missis-
sippi, they have been bought for a
price, and in order to hold their Off
ces, they would see the country anew
in blood, or else would keep alive
for their generation the bitterness
and hates of the war.

~Ex-President Johnson, in lis
speech at Nashville the other day,
thus alludes to the present candi-
dates:
AS for Greeley against Grant, 1
am decidedly for the former. He
has beer nominated by the Demo
cratic party, and while it continues
to survive 1 shall follow where it
leads. Mr.. Greeley is far superior
to General Grant, as a citizen and
as statesmen. They say he's hon
est, and who will dispute it until he
is tried Against him personally
1 have nothing; but 1 have never
had him in my minds eye as the
choice of the people for President.
There are other ADLER men than he !;
but in order to beat the present adj
ministratiOn, willingly accept him.
When is a malarial plane from
whence foul air proceeds, 1 am
anxious to remove it. / consider
that the best way to accomplish this
end is to make a vacuum, and if
there be one of sufficient strength
made. it will be sure to extract all
the foul atmosphere. Grant repre-
sents the foul air at the White
House. BY making tube of popu
lar prejudice, and creating ii vacuum,
sufficient force could be brought to
remove Grant, and as a supply of
purifying atmosphere, Greeley
would rush in, Applause and laugh
teri. Still, as l have said, am not
thoroughly a Greeley man, but
would use him as the "crOOked stick
to kill the mad dog"

DARK CORNER, MADISON Co, !
Aug, 20, 1872.

DEAR CITIZEN Thinking that
you would like to hear from this
part of the county, 1 concluded to
drop you line.
Your crop report in last Satur-
days issue was correct, at least so
far as this part of the county is con-
cerned. We are working people,
and with fair season, we make
good crops. A new kind OF worm
has made it's appearance near Cam
den. 1t does not touch the boil or
leaf, but eats the stalk and limbs.
On reading the able, chaste and
eloquent address of our learned
Board of School Directors in your
last issue, 1 was fully convinced of
the many great advantages the
school children of these days have
that we never possessed in our jul
venife career. Schools now have
for school directors and school super
intendents, the most learned and
moral men in the land, which is
right and proper; in our days they
had no school directors or superin-
tendents, and no teacher save the
old-fashiOned, cornfeld school mas
ter. Changes in our language have
been introduced by the most learn
ed men to whom we look as the
standards, and, hence, we must be
governed in writing and speaking
the English language by our learned
and distinguished Board of School
Directors. The English language,
from the time of its first formation,
has been subject to continual chang
es. Our language as it is spoken
and written in these days, differs so
materially from the language as
written and spoken two centuries
ago, that we can hardly read q book
printed at this time. A radical
change has been introduced in the
English language by our School
Board, as shown i'll the late =" adj
dresso; and as we adopt all the
styles of dress introduced from the
North, l think we must adopt the
new style of English composition as
introduced by our imported School
Board. l was taught that the rules
given in Murray's, Billions and
Smiths grammars, and Boyd's rhet-
oric were correct guides in writing
the English language. The recent
address proves that we cannot re-
gard these textbooks as proper
standards, and that we must I'M
learn much that we have learned.
This is a fast age, and we must keep
up with all the modern improve
ments. JUNIUS.

@In accepting the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency, Mr..
Greeley made short speech, in
which the following sentenced &C.
CURED:
'' The time will soon come, and trust in
God the opportunity too, when the world will
see that you are no less Democrats because
you have pursued the course you have. and
that am no less Republican because ac-
espt your nsmination.'
These are the words of a patriot.
They commend Horace Greeley to
the confidence and support of eve
~ sincere lover of the country. Had
We not one word from his lips in
favor of peace, reconciliation and
economy, the sentence quoted shows
the purity of his motives, aud is
sufficient to rally to his standard
the opponents of nep0tism, corrup-
ti0n, extravaganza, unconstitutional
legislation and military depotism.
1t shows that the intelligent and
patriotic element Of the Republican
party, and the Democratic party en-
masse, are willing to forego all hopes
of mere party triumph, and unite
under a common banner for the gen.
eral good. This is one of the grand
est political triumphs of the age.
Having accomplished their object.
theif0unders and leaders of the Re-
publican party have joined hands
with the Democrats, their old-time
enemy, in the holy effort to hurl
,ff0ni lplace and position the bad
'fhenWho have usurped the Repub-
liean name, and would Cypress and
'uegFade the American people. We
.ure -'no less Democrats" because
.we,have pursued the course We have.
Hits an honor to our name that we
have forgotten selfin the struggle for
honest, constitutional government.
The movement shows the sinceIi y
and patriotism of the Liberal Re-
pubIicans and Democrats. Mere
partizans never present the specta-
Gle of self-abnegatiOn that is to-day
presented in every section of our
great country by patriots Of every
party. May the good work continue
until the government is rescued
from the hands of bad men.
