CAMPAIGN NOTES.

August Belmont says the Democra-
cv must indorsc Greeley or die. An
African clergyman, in fervid SER
mon; once exclaimed: 'Bredin-
Dab is two roads, the one leads to
pcrdition, and dc other to damnation,
which will you take ?" Isn't Bel
mont's alternative very like ?
A compositor, now in the Office of
the Newark, y. j., Adreytiser, 6ce
asked Mr.. Greeleys influence to pro-
cure a Government clerkship in Wash
ington. Can YOU saw wood - que
ricd the philosopher "Ycs, sir fall
terincIy replied the applicant Then
stav away. from Washington was
the only further remark vouchsafed.
The compositor now tenders the same
advice to Mr.. Greeley mo matter
whether he can saw wood or not"
The st. Paul Mimi Press says
Horace Grcclcys first efforts as free
trader were cminently successful. He
traded his record, his principles, and
the good opinion of mankind, for the
privalege of being laughed at by the
world, and of bcingmost numerically
beaten in November by Grant.
The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutional
ist comes out strongly in favor of the
nomination of Mr.. Greeley at Balti-
more, upon the principle that half a
loaf is better than no bread. If" it
saws, "wc are to select for the head of
our columns the name that would
come nearest being the exponent of
our principles, we would place there
Jefferson Davis" This being mad
visablc, and under the circumstances
impossible, it hoists the names of the
Liberal Republican candidates as the
next best thing.
HARTRANFT has been in Office six
wears, and that say the sorehcads and
Democrats is long enough for any sol
dier. Buckalew has been in Office
nearly if not quite a quarter of a cen
turv, and that is not enough tor
man who sat in the Senate and re-
fused to aid his country or our sol
dicrs by his voice or vote during the
rebellion. In other words, patriotism
should not be rewarded so well as
scmi-trcason, for those who were not
with Us were against us, and Chas X.
Buckalcw was one of these.
The Lcwistown Gazette SAYS Me
Clure denies that he has bought
up Forney to come out for Greeley
but Mcclure also denies that he was
TO Grant when he was can
didate. for Office, and yet as soon as
Buckalcw shuilied his cards and let
him into the Senate, he opposed
Grant. Now if Mcclure would
wear some badge by which folks
might know where he is fibbing, we
might tell when he is, but, as matters
stand, how are We to know whether
he is Tom Pepper or 4. X. Mcclure
GREELEY's OpINIoS-No living ed
itor has published more unpalitable
truths about the Democrats, or spent
more time in denouncing TIE princi-
pies and acts of thet party, than Hor-
ace Greeley. In 1857 he wrote
and published the following in the
Tribune
THere irere aOt nelcspdper or
common school an tbe country, he
Democratic party icoald be far
stronger hdn IL as. Neither clcmcn-
tary instruction nor knowledge of
transpiring events is necessary to
teach the essential elements of the
Democratic creed: Love RUN AND
HATE NIGGERs.n The less one learns
and kRO,rs He more certain he is 10
'rote The reg'iar ticket, from 4 10 K
zdrd."
A North Carolina Freedman writes
az follows to the New York Times
''Thc black people of this State are
aware of the fact that their freedom
in this country depends upon the sue
cess-at least for time-of the prin-
ciples enunciated, and thus far faith
fully and honestly carried out by the
National Union Republican party.
They don't ask what a man has been
are his principles to-day z"
If Mr. Greeley thinks otherwise he is
sadly mistaken. The Democratic
party of this State are almost unit
for Greelcy--or anything to beat
when they (the colored
peeple) find that the bittercst and
vilest of the Ku Klux are hurrawing
for Mr. Greeley they will know that
wind blows them no good. There are
not a dozen colored votes in North
Carolina for Horace Greeley, unless
he is the nominee of the Philadelphia
convention; and such viii (noO be
Grant ed him."
