1t is now said that Major Gen. W. B. Frank
lin of Hartford, CT, will not only not support
Greeley for president, but has announced an
intention 10 vote for Gen. Grant.
Gov. Washburn OF Wisconsin, who has lust
arrived in Washington from Maine, feels conf
dent of success in all the congressional districts,
and places the probable majority on the state
ticket at $4,000. The highest estimate at the
liberal headquarters upon the liberal republican
strength in Maine is 1000.
Hon. George Bancroft, United States minister
to Prussia, writes from Berlin to Governor Nor
gan, chairman of the national republican com
mittee, as follows: 81 hope, my dear sir, that
our state of New York will give its vote for
Grant and Wilson. The free states Of old, the
states north Of Mason and DiXou's line, might
Of themselves give the ticket votes enough TO
make the election sure. The movement in Mis-
souri, has simply sent Blair to the senate, the
same movement, if successful in the United
States, would call TO power the worst elements
Of secession"
The twelfth ward of St. Louis contains many
German citizens, and on the evening of August
% Senator Carl Schurz was brought to address
them on the political issues of the day. West
ern papers say that the hall was pretty fun,
when he launched forth in his German speech,
but speedily he was interrupted by his hearers
with loud cries of english EngliSh!" And this
German SENATOR in a German ward, had to
make few short excuses in English in stead OF
delivering the German speech as an nounced.
MOI a single German had appeared. Nine-tenths
of those present were of Irish nationality.
A lady, who has for years been an ardent al.
mirer of Mr. Greeley, writes as follows from
North Carolina, under date of August 25th: at
looks as if the old serpent was raising its head
These men of the south mean to regain Their
power in the government if they can't looks
as if they thought they could do it with Gree
ley | am getting dissatisfied with his course,
as neither he or Sumner have been honorable
toward Grant 4 Another thing; these
rebels would rejoice to see Grant defeated some
way or any way. As their armies couldn't do
it they hope to do it by strategy.
The kindly feeling toward northern people is
less apparent, and the old arrogance is asserting
itself"
The Charleston West Virginia. Courier, a
democratic journal, makes an admission, since
the election in that state, hich will prove very
unpalatable 10 the Greeley conlederates. Itsays:
'The fact may as well be recognized at the
start that West Virginia is not absolutely GER
tain for Greeley. much greater demOrali-
cation than anybody anticipated has been pro-
duced by the recent election. This must be

cratic front may be presented to the common
enemy at the coming election There certainly
should be no thought on the part of West Vir-
gnia democrats of making the late division per
petual. If they expect to give their state to
Greeley and Brown they should determine to
work and vote in that direction, without refer
ence to recent discussions
In an article called forth by Senator Carpen-
ters recent forcible letter published in the Times,
the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Eagle says: "NIr. Car
penters criticism is Just aud is well applied.
Mr.. Greeley has never disowned his secession
ism. He does not retract it now, neither does
the Tribune for him; and, more than that, he
dare not do it in the face of his southern sup
porters in this campaign, Jerry Black tells us
distinctly why such democrats as ne support Mr..
Greeley for president; do the ex-rebel military
men in Kentucky as well as in other southern
states tell why they support him, and they leave
no room for doubt that it is because of what they
expect to gain for the lost cause of states rights
and secession. 1t is right, then, to ask people
to reflect seriously upon what may be the con-
sequences Of the election of Mr.. Greeley before
they decide to cast their votes for him."
