There sfe some leading politi.
clans IN the country whose support
Ofa party is as much if not more of
an evil than q benefit. They are
30 selcopimonated, revolutionary
and selfish, as to permit their Ier-
sonal aspirations and crotchcts, il
not spites, TO interpose obstacles in
the way Of the progress of the party
which they profess to support. Tie
men from the Republican party who
are now leading the Democracy are
of this stripe. The history Of Hor-
ace Greeley, especially within late
years, is full Of sudden departures
ofa most pecvish raturc, from the
line of well.dcfncd Republican
progress, in every instance snbsti-
tuting some personal preference, or
opinion, in the place Of the general
policy Of tie Iariy. Car Schun
has been equally, if not more disa-
greeablc to the party IN this rartic-
ular, and tie same characteristics
apply with more or less pertiGency
to Sumner, Trlinbull and the rest.
II is better to lave IN individual
ont of the household as an open
enemy, or opposer, than in the FAM
lily as an clement Of discord, and
pccvish unrest. There is one thing
evident: No party can succeed
with such dicordant elements in
tie lead. Even now they scarcely
Tolerate each ether, and one success
would burst them into belligcrant
fragments. We verify believe the
Republican party is better off with
out them, and we think the coming
election will show it.

If the opposition can gather any
comfort from the election in North
Carolina they arc certainly welcome
to it. To the Republicans it is a
source of goOdly cheer. They re-
member tlat two years ago the
State went Democratic by nearly
FIVE thousand They don't forget
that every effort, which Democrat
ic ingenuity and strategy could
bring 10 bear, was used to carry
the election. Even tricks Of the
most improved Tammany stripe,
were projected; but in spite of all
these, white Republicans stoodman-
fully to their duty, and the colored
citizens rallied around the Republi-
can standard as faithfully and fear
lessly as their regiments did around
the old flag upon many bloody bat
tie fields in the South. It demon
strates the sterling integrity Of the
colored citizen. 1t showsthat neith-
cr persuasion nor threats will wean
him away from tho Republican par
ty. Ir it he bellolds lis best friend
and savior, and he will not forsake
it. The victory in North Carolina
is cheering, too, as indicative of the
results Of future elections to trans
pire in other States of the South.
The example set them here will not
be ignored, and Republican victor
les may most certainly he anticipat-
ed.

1t will not be forgotten by our
readers how bitterly Greeley ami
adverted on the appointment Of
Thomas Murphy to the Collector
ship OF New York by Grant. The
reason why he ranted and scotched
so much aboutit, was solely because
Murphy had voted for Hoffman for
Governor, we believe it was, ofthe
State. This act Greeley regarded
as both damnable and uhpardona-
be. lie called loudly for Murphy's
removal; but an investigation into
the custom house affairs OF New
York failing to discover anything
wrong in the affairs of Murphy,
Grant refused to comply with the
angry and imperative demands Of
Greeley. Now, Greeley is cheek
by jole with this same Hoffman,
doing all he can to assist him along
in his Democratic plans, and reoeiv-
ing in turn a corresponding assist
ance in furtherance Of his Chappa-
quack plans. A great deal is said
by Democratic Chappaquacks about
Greeley's honesty. Let them look
at this picture Of Inconsistency, and
tell us just where The honesty is,

Now that the Democrats are
fully satisfied that North Carolina
has gone Republican, they try to
console themselves by saying that
the election was carried by "fauds, /"
II will be granted that there is no
party more thoroughly qualified
from experience Oiteil what a fraud
is than it,as the historic cnainofthat
party is linked with them; but be-
cause that propensity constitutes SO
large an element in its identity, it
is no just reason why it should
charge the evil upon its bettArs.

Presidential hollors, Is largely COM
posed Of the "slnlhs," tho "plugug-
lies" or Nt least Ot the more de.
graded elemcl.tsoi soriety, and their
aspirations are far from a desire to
secure purity. We do not say that
there are rot good elements IN the
opposition, for such an assertion
would be untenable; We say that
the bad elements rredomiuate. But
then tie reasons, purely personal,
which prompted the present rene
gade Republican leaders to set up
a larty for themselves; tic mmer-
ous departures" ending in 50 COM
plete a sacrifice of Individuality,
which lead tie Democracy tomerge
Into tic Chappaquack organization,
present anything but an attractive
picture of truth and consistency.
J'lere is nothing in the picture to
indicate progressive enlightenment,
but on the contrary anopposition to
it The Republican party is the
real party ofwogress, and, as such,
in tile present temper of American
mind, is bound to succeed. Tie

1t must be becoming more appar.
cnt to the eyes ofthe Chappaquacks
every day that Greeley stock is or
the decline. 1t is offrequent occur
renee to read Of leading Democrats
by name, belonging to different sec.
tions Of the country, uttering their
declarations Of opposition to Gree
ley. Such Democrats are the ones
who are the most emphatic and
outspoken in their declarations Of
opposition. Since the principles Of
the Democratic party have been
ignored, given up, slaughtered, they
feel under no obligations to go with
the slaughtercrs; but propose to
act in the future in consonance with
their own views OF independence
and consistency.

1t is reported that Democrats in
the Eastern counties of Oregon turn
their noses skyward whenever the
proposition to support Greeley for

or the amalgamation of the white
and black races, and they can't
take lin down.

or china tree, possessed valuable manurial
properties, but do not remember having
noticed any systematic experiment with

that planter Of Pulaski county. in this

OF the China berries by comparison with
cotton seed, which he sewed in alternate
rows under his corn. The rows manfred
with the berries preserved a greener and

with SCOT and vinegar, makes an excellent
