There is something more than daily

In fact, the rate is something like
steamer for every twelve hours from the
port of Liverpool alone. During the
month of May, fifty-three steamships
left the Mersey, OF which thirty-four
came to New York, cigh. to Boston,
eight to Quebec and Montreal, and three
to Halifax, Norfolk and Baltimore.
Seventeen of these belong to the Gun
ard Company, eleven to the Inmau, five
to the National, five to the White Star,
ten to the Allan, and six to the Guion
Company, respectively. When to these
are added the ships of the French and
the German lines, we get some idea of
the prodigious increase of late in steam
communication between the continents.
More than $4,000 persons were brought

eighteen thousand. These figures are
full Of significance with reference to the
future of the Republic.

COMMITTEE of New York, Messrs. Allars

bad company in which they found them
selves. Mr.. Allaire writes that no gen.

that Horace has alienated his old friends,
and gone over to the Democracy. "The
leaders of the Democratic party" says
Mr.. Allaire, "know that by the election
of Mr.. Greely they would virtually have
the government in thier cwn hands, and
that could entirely mould and snbdue
him to their aoiA." This hits the nail
squarely.

Wanted.

At the Democratic headquarters in
Baltimore on the 9th of July, 1872, a
suitable person to nominate as a candi-
date for President of the United States.
A certain Fourierite Philosopher, Horace
Greeley by name, has been proposed,
but upon careful inquiry as to his ante
cedents it is found that he is too uncer-
tain for our purpose. 1t is true this
Philosopher is now Democrat, and
swears he always was, and that the man
who says he was not is "liar, thief
and villian," and if that man don't
mind his P's and Q's he will be under
the necessity of sending him further
South than South itself, where the
climate is much warmer even if there
is more Of the sulphurous in its atmos-
phere.
A very fine trait of character in
Philosopher Greeley is, that he is most
excellent specimen of the political
chameleon, and is never seen twice under
the same colors, as for example in 1860
he claimed to be the delegate from
Oregon and gave his vote so as to secure
the nomination of Mr.. Lincoln, thereby
defeating Mr.. Seward for all time, so far
as the Presidency was concerned. But
in three years the chameleon had
changed cOlors and the immortal
Lincoln no longer suited the chief
Philosopher of the new school. Lincoln
must be cast aside and Gen. John G
Fremont was just the man for the place
and times. This Was owing to the fact that
in 1856 the Philosopher had written a
life of his pet General then Col. Fremont
and had made the world astounding dis
covery that his hero Of Maraposa re-
nown had been born twice, once in the
swamps of Georgia, and once in North
Carolina; during the same campaign,
however, he wheeled into line and luke
warmly supported the reelection of Mr..
Lincoln.
In 1868 he was hi! no! for General
Graut-General Grant "never had been
defeated aud never would be-" so said
the Philosophey Gen. Grant was just
the man for the post, his great military
ability was only stronger proof of his
capacity as Statesman, and this Four
ierite when elected chairman Of the
New York State Republican Committee
re. nominated Gen. Grant for a second
term. In 1872 the chameleon changes,
and Gen. Grant is the worst of all the
bad beings in the Universe, even worse
than the head and ruler of that continu,
ously warm region, in the existance Of
said warmer region the Philosopher it
is said processes to have no faith, faith
decidedly in better keeping with his
eminently exemplary life.
Hence upon the whole we fear that
the Philosopher might not be Oh hand
in cases OF emergency and when we
should come to look for our President
he might not be there, and the nation
be without President at all, and the
Office occupied by vain, credulous and
easily fattered old man, who would be
a statesman if he only could.

WENDELL PHILLIPS is not suited
with Greeley, but Adams would have
pleased him still less. He says: "The
light which gilds the Adamses is that OF
sunset. The breath of an Adams fame
has the chill of the charnel-house in it,"

EDWARD A. POLLARD, the Southern
historian of the "Lost Cause" has
just issued political pamphlet in which
he glowingly sets forth the claims of
MIR. Greeley upon the Democracy, North
and South. The author very truly says
that "the Democratic party, to support
Mr.. Greeley for President, is not asked
to give up any of the opinions which
distinguished it as party, and which
may be necessary to maintain its organ
ization and principles. Tt is portion
of the Republican patty that has come
to them, not they who have gone to the
Republican party" This writer con-
siders the Cincinnati movement to be as
unconditional surrender as was Lees
submission at Appomattox. Mr.. Pollard
is supposed to know good deal about
Lost Causes, and hence should make
quite valuable auxiliary to the coali-
ton.

THE STORM AT MOKELUMNE.-The
Stockton Independent of January
Sd says:
The new Methodist Church build
ing recently erected at Mokelumne
Station was shaken considerably
during the recent storm. The build
ing was swayed over aboutsix inches
and had to be propped to save it
from falling. The new school house
at the same place was moved about
three feet from its foundation by the
force of the storm. A number of
fences were also blown down.

\ report was circulated at a late
hour last evening, says the Grass
Valley Gal Republican of Deem
Der 81, that Father Grace, a very
worthy Cutholic priest, suffered a
terrible outrage on Wednesday last
on the South Yuba River, between
Washington and North Bloomfield.
Our informant states that the priest
was stopped by a couple of robbers
and tied up to a tree, where he re-
manned for twenty-four hours in the
midst of the raging storm, and was
finally released from his trying po-
sition by a passing Chinaman. We
are unable to learn any further par
ticulars. Father Grace is quite e
young man, of fine personal appear
ance. We believe his residence is
at Carson, in the State of Nevada.
At the time of the outrage we refer
to he was on a visit to friends in the
northern part of the county. Bob
berries are not uncommon events, but
when highwaymen go after priests it
shows an unparalleled state of des-
peration on the part of the knights
of the road"
