of New Haven, Gov. Brown has made the
impression of vulgar, ignorant demagogue,
coarse in manners and language, aud quite fit
to be the tail of the Chappagua ticket
Senator Perkins of Connecticut, who was
claimed by a New Haven Democratic paper
as wavering toward Greeley, declares that he

two have urged his nomination; twelve have
no preference whatever; ffty-three have
earnestly protested against his endorsement,
and ten positively assert they will not sup

1t is little singular, but none the less a
fact, that nearly all the prominent Republicans
who have declared for Greeley and Brown,
and more particularly since their nomination
at Baltimore, are disappointed Office seekers,

s. servant, and put in IT'S place party whose
whole strength lies in the adhesion TO it OF
the very men whom the republican party has
fought before, at Shiloh, at Ficksburg, at
Gettysburg, and around Richmond. They
tried to take Washington several times be-
fore. They could not do it by bullets, and
we do not intend they shall by ballots. This
country IL not prepared to pass the Govern
ment into the hands of that party which has
for fifteen years done nothing but fight those
laws and the policy which they hope soon to
construe and administer. 1t is not even pre-
tended that the rank and file of the Demo-
cratic party have been converted to those
ideas of which the whole war was waged.
They have changed their policy. but not their
convictions. They will go to Washington as
Liberal Republicans, but once there they will
throw OF the odlous name, and stand forth
out and-out Democrats. The old questions
are not settled. 1t is not likely that an,
party will attempt 10 overthrow the Constitu-
tional amendments. But a law may be nuga-
tory without abolishing it. The spirit of an
administration may neutralize Constitu-
ti0nal provision without attacking its letter.
If the Republican party is defeated it will
be mainly by the concentration of the Demo
cratic votes North and South. The Demo
cratic element will preponderate to such an
extent, that it will be impossible to carry on
the government except by its political and
moral influence. In six months there will
not he shadow of doubt that the Demo-
cratic party has swallowed and digested all
the erratic Republicans that helped it, and ii
will stand forth, no new creation, born ont OF
past struggles, with regenerated genius to
lead on new era, bnt from inevitable in
ward necessity it will be the old Democratic
party. The voice may be Jacobs but the
hands will be Esau's. Now is the time to
consider the may be's.
How far from probability is it, that in a
year or two, should this new movement cue
coed, will the new Administration think it
best to pension the Southern wounded veter-
rams, for their service and suferings. If
they are taxed to pay the national debt, why,
they will say, should we not be paid for some
of our own losses? There is prodigious
property interest in the South, now in silence
and obscurity, that may, if fair occasion be
given. bring an irresistible power TO bear on

speaking ofthe presence of several of the
Maine democrats at the liberal headquarters
in New York, the Herald says: They leaned
over chairs and peered under one another's

The writer of the above is probably not
so ignorant as he pretends to be, never
theless we make answer as follows, to
each question in order:
LIST. The real difference in principle be-
tween Grant and Greeley is best under
stood by looking at the supporters of each.
Grant is supported by the men who upheld
the government when it was assailed, and
thus gave the best evidence they could of
their love for it and their devotion to its
interests. Greeley is sustained by men
by the Tammany thieves, by democratic
Office seekers and disappointed republic
can office seekers. Tho former class, of
which Grant is the candidate, represent
the principles of loyalty, honor, patriot
ism; the latter class. of which Greeley is
the candidate. represent the opposite prin-
ciples. Whoever can understand these
principles can readily comprehend the
difference between Grant and Greeley.
The change in Mr. Greeley's course within
4 year has been from light to darkness
from truth to error-wheh we think is
''materal" change and a backward one
ID. We cannot see how "other things"
can be equal" with candidates represent
ing entirely different principles. jeff Da-
Wis standing on the platform of secession
and rebellion cannot be equal with Lincoln
on the Union platform, in the hearts of
loyal men. Neither can Greeley in COM
parson with Grant, as candidate for
President. In choosing between two men
for office representing the same principles
and equal in other respects, but one a
temperance man and the other opposed,
we should prefer the temperance man and
so probably would ninety-nine in every
hundred. So far as this may apply to
Grant and Greeley, we think they stand
equal on the temperance question. Pres
ident Grant has been basely slandered as
to his habits. We published letter from
clergyman in Washington the other day
upon this matter. But ii would be better
for the country to have Grant for Presi-
dent, though drunk every day. than to
have Greeley President, though sober.
3D.. At the last session OF Congress the
House passed bill repeating the franking
privilege. The bill went to the Senate
and was defeated there, the democrats
voting against it in a body. The main
body OF the republicans supported the re-
peal. Had the democrats not opposed it

4th. The greatest advocate in the Uni
ted States of the policy of giving public
lands to aid in building railroads. is Hor'
ace Greeley. We suggest to our ques'
toner that he examine the files OF the
New York Tribune for few years past,
where he viii find all tletlight upon this
question which he desires.
9TH. Congress ut It's last session did re-
peal and modify the duties upon salt. iron
and coal. On salt the duty was reduced
more than fifty per cent.-to fishermen
under certain regulations the entire duty
is RENTED. On iron there was Il large
reduction in the duty.-to shpbuilders 1t

Anthracite coal, which is the kind in COM
mon use here, has always been imported
free. This may seem strange to our in
curing friend. after all the harping which
he has heard about the heavy duty on coal.
but the fact is as we state it. On btumin-
Gus coal the duty was reduced at the last
session from 81 % per ton to - cents.
9Th There is no government in the
world. there never has been and probably
never will be any without unnecessary
officials. Even in carrying on large prl-
vate business, strictly managed though it
NAV be. there will be those whose SER
vices are not equal to their pay. 1t is not
surprising that government with affairs
as vast as ours sometimes has inrompe-
tent. unworthy, useless officials. But
President Grant has endeavored to correct
the evil. Hundreds of officers have been
abolished, and reform hae been effected
in the method of making appointments
II is the first reform of the kind attempted
since the days of Andrew Jackson. Pres
ident Grant has given it his cordial sup
port. As to officials in this city whose
business it is to manage caucuses and tell
people how to vote, we know Of none
such, but if there are any of that sort, and
they are SO much smarter than all the rest
of the city as to be able to manage it at
will, we think they ought TO be promoted.
while the citizens who stay at home from
caucuses and neglect their duties, and
then complain of the result, ought in de-
cency to mend their ways or hold their
tongues forever. The fault in this matter
if there be any, is with the people and not
with the President

LIST. What is the real difference in the prin-

Sd. If the republican party mean reform
and retrenchment and really mean what they
say, why, having been twelve years in pow
er, have they not abolished the Thanking priv

He takes care in his letter to show that his

cordng to all honorable usage in such cases

practical way to prevent the election of a
democrat. or Greeleyite. But, as the Office
of Presidential Elector is regarded as COM
