Make Preparations /!

The political campaign In
Vinton county has now COM
menced in good earnest. Both
parties have PLACED tickets in
the field and are soliciting the
suffrage Of the people for
their respective candidates
Our ticket is composed of men
of acknowledged ability and
fitness for the different offices
for which they hsvs been Sc
lected.
1t now behooves the friends
of Greeley, Reform and Recon.
ciliation, in every township in
this county to grid ON their az.
NOR and prepare for battle for
the right. Although the Pc,
litical horizon has never, dur-
ing the past twelve years,
looked as cheering as at press
ent, we can not afford to halt
ip the good work as We know
that the enemy will leave no
no device or effort uutried fir
the success Of the "cut aud
dried" ticket selected by the
little Ring in Macarthur. II
we would succeed in defe,tipg
this corrupt party we mustS las
Dor with L Zeal that only a
good cause Can inspire. Let
every one remember that as
"eternal vigilance Is the price
of liberty" "eternal ,watchful-.
ness and labor" should be our
motto throughout this GAM
Eve Every man o'his post, and
the result will not be doubtful!

In the 18th District the
Democrats and Liberal Repub.
licans held their Convention to
nominate candidates for Corr
gresham and Elector last
Thursday, at Marietta. Gen,
F. I. Wildes, of Athens, pre-
sided over the Liberal Repub-
lican Convention. A commit.
tee of conference was appointed
by each convention for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon the basis
upon which the two conven.
tions shall unite and form one
ticket. The committee of con.
ference reported that the Lib
eral Republicans name the can
didate for Congress and the
Democrats that for Presidential
Elector. r. r. Hudson, Of
Meigs, was nominated for Con.
gress; and w. I'll. Oldham, Of
W ashington, for Eleetor. Gen.
Wildes has heretofore been
a prominent Republican and
twice a candidate for Secretary
of State before Republican
State Con ventions, but now he
is for'Greeley and Brown. 1t
looks as if one half the Repub.
ficans Of the State would come
out and declare in favor of the
Farmer, the Philosopher and
Printer.

Circulation of FalsehOOds'


The Radical leaders in Vim
ton county are SO greatly alarm
ed at the hand writing which
they have seen by moonligh
upon the wall, that they have
commenced uttering downright
lies about Horace Greeley
These frightened and trem-
bling leaders make it their
business to assert, in the pres
ence of Democrats and honest
Republicans, that if Greeley is
elected the Confederate debt is
to be assumed and the Rebel
soldiers pensioned. Now the
men who are circulating these
falsehoods throughout Vinton
county, profess to be SO honest,
so intelligent, SO truthful, SO
moral, SO respectable, and SO
virtuous. They are 80 sure
that "Robert e. Lee is for
Greeley" too.e There is moth
ing sogrand as the intelligent
and truthful squad Of leaders
of the Grant party in our little
county. Even Spoon Thief
Butler feels proud Of them.

OR CHIPS.

A new town called Greeley
has been established in Nilsson
ri, on the Platte river.
Seventy five Of the 222 IRE
publicans of Honesdale, Pa,
have declared in print for
Greeley.
In a recent letter, Chief JUS
tice Chase says: "If l live, and
am able to go to Cincinnati in
November, I shall vote for Ho-
race Greeley"
While Republicans berate
Democrats for supporting Gree
ley, an old.line Wing, what are
we to say of their support OF
Grant who, in 1855, was a Bu-
chanan DemocratI-
Gov. Myron H. Clark and
Hon. Emory B. Pottle, distln.
guished Republican leaders in
New York, have left the "foul
party" and come out for Gree
ley.
The Detroit Free Press OBJ
serves that the Grant papers
are beginning to begin their
articles thus: "In the event of
Greeley's election" The next
step will be: "When Greeley
is elected"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer
says: "There are at least $500
German Republicans in Cuya-
hoga county who will vote
against Grant; and Ohio is
about as sure for Greeley as
New York, which will give
him a large majority
State Treasurer Raines, OF
New York, elected by the Re.
publicans last fall, is active in
his support of Greeley. He
has collected facts in regard to
the corruption of the last Leg
islature, and proposes to state
all he knows about it on the
stump this fall.
The working men will sup,
port Mr.. Greeley. He has
always been, and now is, a
workingman. He was not born
to fortune, he received no edu'
cation at West Point or any
other place at the expense Of
the government, The great
editor, philanthropist, philoso
pher and statesman was once
an apprentice boy. BY hi
own energy, integrity, industr.
and talent hev acquired hi
lproOpnt high position. Fo
thirty years Horace Greele..
has devoted his powers to wha
he has thought the best inter
ests of workingmen.

1t is strange what queer folks
there are in this world, and how
blissful ignorance often becomos.--
A case is reported of o man who has
labored under the impression that
Greleoy was running for Governor
Of North Carolina, and was feeling
good over bis slsOtjop. Portsmouth

That man is almost as igno-
rant as the Grant Elector for
this district, who declared in a
speech in the Vinton county
Court House, on the night Of
August 9Th, 1872, that "Rob'

PATRIOTIC LETTER FROM GEN
BANKS. q
He Comes Out Strong ~fOr
Greeley, and Gives
Good Reasons 4
Therefore,

BOSTON, August I.Enu~
mors of the DETECTION of Gener-
al Banks FROM the support of
Grant and Wilson are confirmed
by the following letter:
BosToN, July 81, 1872.
MY DEAR SIR: / have the
honor to acknowledge by this
note, in addition to our con-
versation today, the receipt Of
your invitation to address the
citizens of Lynn on Thursday
evening, in support of the elec.
tion OF General Grant and the
policy of his Administration.
No invitation could have
greater weight with me, from
any part of the country, nor
from any part of my fellow.
citizens; and it gives me great
pleasure to assure you that no
thing could be added to your
suggestions as a representative
of the citizens Of Lynn to in>
duce me to accede to the re.
quest. Their kindness to me
many years since is a continu-
ing life-remembrance, and no
thing would give me greater
satisfaction than to renew my
associations with them.
But 1 regret to say that | am
not in accord with them in re-
gard to the Presidential can
vass. Against my wishes and
my personal interests, | am
compelled to say that the per-
petuatlon Of the present policy
of the government is not for
the advantage Of the county,
and that it will not tend to es4
tablish its sformer good and
prosperity, nor to promote the
interests ofany class of citizens.
No personal feeling of any
form or character enters into
this judgment. 1t is in view
of general principles and pub
lie interests alone chat | am led
to this conclusion.
The uniting masses of people
of all parties, sections and ra-
ces in support Of the grand re-
suit of the war is indispensable
to the permanent establishment
of the general recognition OF
the results. 1t can be secured
by no other means. We shall
> all be fUrUed-t to this conclnsior
; sooner or later, This united
action upon this basis has beer
the hope of my life. | fervent
: ly desired it during the war
and in the reconstruction Of tht
States subsequent to the war
/ believe it is now rendered il
good faith in the nomination o
Mr.. Greeley, and for one, / Cal
not reject it. 1t was what
desired. Its consummation
although sudden and startling
does not alarm me. My duty
to myself and my county re
quires me to give him my sup
port. l can not advocate be
fore your friends dlfferen
course, which neither my judg
ment nor my heart approves
It grieyes nae most deeply
to separate myself in though
or act from any Of those will
whom l have been 80 long as
sociated, and to whom ! am 81
: greatly indebted; but | believ
the result will justify my &C
3 ton, give to the country tina
peace and prosperity which j
