For many long years Warren has
been the particular personal and po-
litical friend of Senator Harlan. Moth
ing has cqualled his friendship for
Harlan except his venom for Grimes.
He has ate the bread and salt at his Ia
Bile and depended upon Senator Har-
Ian for his army promotion and for
his Guatemala confirmation, and
everything supposed to be binding
among gentlemen has passed between
them to induce Warren at least to
maintain his fidelity. Harlan's time,
however, is about to expire in the
Senate, and with it his power to aid
political 5 mendicants like Warren,
hence the latter devoted much of his
time in abusing the former last night.
Gratitude is defined to be a lively
sense of favors to come, which maxim
has its highest illustration in the
course pursued by Warren towards
Harlan heretofore.
The converse of that proposition
was illustrated in his speech last night
and the idioms Of the language con.
tain nothing yet sufficiently despicablt
to describe it.
However, we may be permitted Il
enquire of Fitz Henry Warren how i,
has happened that he has been so par
ticularly intimate with Senator Har
Ian for so many years ifthe latter hal
been such an arrant rascalhll that time
Gen. Warren should rccollect tn,
story of the Philadelphia Divine wht
shook his long bony finger at Aarol
Burr as he walked up the aisle Of hi
church, saying: s'Mr. Burr, expect I,

uAosAsuurY.

The largest Convention ever assem-
bled in this country, has just adjourn
ed at Pittsburg. It was variously es-
timated at from 10000 to l,OOO people.
1t was composed of the war-worn
veterans who marched to the music
OF the Union, from Sumpter to Apo
mattOx.
It assembled for the purpose Of re-
newing fealty to the Union, they
fought TO ssvc. Not one word of vim
dictive hatred was uttered towards the
men in grey, they fought on many
bloody fields, who have honestly ac-
cepted tho results of the war, but
npon the contrary, communication
from hundreds Of ex-rebel soldiers,
was received with vociferous applause.
1t was actuated by the noblest senti-
ments of magnanlmity, characteristic
of our soldiers, which have invariably
been manifested towards the vanquish-
ed. But because it declared against
frittering away the results Of the war !;
because it declared for maintaining the
Union they fought for, one and undivi-
sable because it declared to follow the
man who led them to victory, rather
than the conspirators who favored se-
ccssion therefore, Horace Greeley de-
nounces them as demagogues and fell
lows who are going around crying
warl war!!
It Is evident that Horace Greeley is
willing to clasp hands across the bloody
chasm with Davis, Tombs, & Co.,
rather than with the boys in blue, who
saved the country in spite of Davis,
Tombs Il Co.
The boys in blue are in favor OF
clasping hands across the bloody
chasm with all the late rebel soldiers
who have returned to their allegiance,
and they propose to fill that bloody
chasm with Greeley, Tombs b Co., and
write over this, their last ditch, nc

certainty of Grants reelection within

TIE WORTH OF DEMOCRATIC PROMISES.

We notice some of our Republican ex-
changes North, at first alarmed by the bold
announcement of the New York World
that in the coming campaign the DCn1Oc-
rHcy would be aggressive, are now persuad-
ed by the temper and promises of other
Democratic exchanges that the Democracy
will actin good faith to the Liberal Republic
cans who may cooperate with them i'll the
overthrow of the present administration.
Do these easily persuaded papers under
stand Democracy? If they want to know
what such promises are worth, let them
consult Ex-Governor Senter, and
those Republicans who co operated
with him in restoring to power the De-
mocracy of Tennessee. If Andrew John
son could be persuaded to come forth from
his retreat in his quiet Greeneville home,
he could also give some valuable hints
from his experience, as the worth of these
promi es Democracy keep faith with Lib
eral Republicans? Not a bit Of it ! 1t
stands to-day, in the language of the New
York World, IAN unbroken, disciplind
host, ready to take aggressive part in the
coming campaign the moment it sees the
Republican party weak enough through
the divisions it is now cunningly encour-
aging.
Talk about the good faith of party that
plunged the country into terribls war for
slavery! Talk about the value of prom
ises from a party that has only now ceas-
ed to advocate reputation of our national
debt, because forced by repeated lessons to
understand that it is unpopular!
The Union men of Tennessee who in the
moment of weakness put their necks I'M
der the heel of this corrupt and treason
able old party, know the value of such
promises, and we should think their eN-
perience would be enough to satisfy the
most cOntiding, of the utter hypocrisy OF
the leaders who hold out such promises.
The prescription, intolerance and mean
ness manifested by Tennessee Democrats
towards the " Liberal " Republicans who
enfranchised them and aided them to
power, is just what may be expected by
the Liberal Republicans of the nation, if
enough of them can be found to help DEM
ocracy into the White House.

Mr.. GREELEY seems extremely anxious
to accommodate himselftO almost any plat
form, provided he can make the Cincin-
natl Convention a success. The Gazette,
of Cincinnati. thus analyses his ridiculous
position Oh this question. by comparing a
series of late editorials in the World and
Tribune:
Thus, having sounded every note in the ga
NUT from declaration that the Cincinnati
Convention must speak plainly on the question
of protection, and warning that 1t may count
Mr.. Greeley out if it gives any expression OF
revenue reforms to a suggestion to compro-
mise on disgraced dodge taken from dis
graced Democratic platform, and to the accept
ance of a proposition from q Democratic jour
nal to ignore the tariff question wholly in the
presidential contest the Tribune and Mr..
Greeley come to this attenuated point:
If those who think as we do are to be pro-
scribed bv il, we demand that this purpose shall
be so plainly avowed that every one may COM
prehend it and act as his own judgment shall
dictate
Thus this wonderful protectionist accepts the
proposition to play the play of the presidential
election with the part of protection left out.
And these, so far as these distinguished negotia-
tors are concerned, the tariff question is remOv
ed from the way of any cooperation that may
9e thrown in their way by the presidential
movements.

TIE 1MPERsoNAL1TY OF JOURNALISM.

There is growing sentiment among
editors that the personnel of the editorial
corps should not be known. The theory
Is that the paper speaks and not the man
who writes the editorials We should
think that as a general rule the principle
would hold good. In some cases, howev-
er, the readers of a paper have right to
know and should know the man who
controls its policy and writes its articles.
An established paper of large influence
and extended circulation, by the cunning
manipulations of few stockholders sud-
denly comes under the control of an I'M
scrupulous man who uses its well earned
reputation to crafty his mean, contempti-
BILE personal spite or makes merchandise of
its good will and influence to fill his pock-
cts. The readers of the paper are in
terested i'll knowing and will soon
find out who is responsible for the
change. The paper in such case
does not represent the principles that es-
tablished it in the confidence of its readers.
1t speaks for an unworthy man who tenn
pOrarily uses it for bad purpose. In such
cases it generally happens that the paper
is none the less enterprising i'll its efforts
to give the earliest and best news,
and therefore does not materially lessen
the number of its readers. But it most al
ways happens that while it loses few read
ers it does lose their confidence. 1t is read
us much perhaps as before, but it does not
meet with the response and support from
admiring and enthusiastic readers that If
formerly did.
We know of newspapers of great circuIa-
ton and wealth that have of late years great
ly lost their influence. Weknow how some
of their present editors, by unscrupulous
combinations, supplanted men who made
them what they are, who built them up
from the beginning, but who to-day
though owning within fraction of one
half the capital stock of the papers can not
dictate a line of their editorials, can not
control in any way the policy of the pa
pers.
One of these papers, one of the most
prominent in the Northwest, is to-day
bounding General Grant for dishonesty.
The man who edits it and controls it, Sc

cured the means to thus traduce an honest
President by INSCRIPTIONS and his honor
able combinations. Such facts are certain
ly worth considering when we come to es-
innate the influence of the press, and in
such eases, at least, the personnel of the
editorial writers ought to be known.
