party-made great concessions to save
the Treaty threatened by England alone)
and to demonstrate its good will in the
premises. We have consented to reduce
the subject matter of arbitration to the
points required by British sensibilities,
and now we merely wish to relieve the
statement of these from all reflections on
our diplomacy and to make it perfectly
impartial in its scope and bearing. If
John Bull cannot abide this, it is of no
use to think of going on with the nego-
tiation. He will raise new pretexts of
misunderstanding and still other occa-
sions for new demands. The business
relations of the two countries will be
continually at the mercy of such an ar
rogant, encroaching spirit. Undue COM
pliance on our part will only foster and
feed it. 1t is time, therefore, to take
our stand. We have been terribly wrong
ed we have been equally right and pa
tient in our claims for redress and now
we have come to the decisive point where
we ask nothing that is not just. We
shall certainly submit to nothing wrong
and it is to be hoped that such an issue
will not be forced upon us.-Bostoa,

nal points in the administration of the
government, is there any more probable
ity that they would be obtained from
Democratic ascendency in 1872 than
in 1868? Mr.. Horatio Seymour is
probably not inferior in personal homes
ty and in skill of administration to Mr..
Greeley. But if the country would not
trust him four years ago, with the Dem
ocratic party behind him, is there any
good reason why it should prefer the
same party, with Mr.. Greeley and a
body-guard of Republican politicians at
its head, to General Grant and the Re-
publican host?
Have we entered upon the Millenni-
UNI? Are the familiar Democratic man.
ayers suddenly anxious to abolish pat
ronage, to renounce the fat things of
power, to reform abuses, to introduce
purity of government? Are they who
vote steadily every week in Congress
against equal rights, suddenly the cham
pions of justice? If they decide to sup
port Horace Greeley, it will be because
they believe that in doing SO they can
scatter the party which has made justice
possible in this country. 1t will be be-
cause they think they can march over
him to the defeat of every principle and
policy with which he is identified. t.

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON GREE
LEY. ~ X,

In letter to the Traveller Mr.. S. P.
Cummings publishes the following ex-
tract from letter to him by Wendell
Phillips. -
You know that am neither Repub-
lican nor Grant man. Whom [ shall
vote for, or whether l shall vote at all,
I do not know. But certainly as against
Greeley 1 am for Grant We have had
one Andy Johnson; L will not run the
risk of getting another in Horace Gree
ley | want man with some decided
principles. Greeley never had any.
Besides, I consider Greeley a secession
candidate. l believe the plot to nomi-
nate him was Matched by Southern white
rebels more than a year ago, and has
been mainly nursed by them. advise
any one who means to vote for him to
find out first what agreements have been
made by Mr.. Greeley's friends with Jeff
Davis and his staff as to office and pat
ronage. [ am perfectly certain that
there is distinct mutual understand
ing, if not a positive contract between
them. If Horace Greeley enters the
White House, Jeff Davis will be as tru-
ly part of the administration as Seward
was in Lincoln's day. No negro can
vote for Greeley who values his life or
property, or cares for his race. If-by a
frown of Providence he is elected, |
shall advise every southern loyalist to
load the revolvers that Grants arrest of
North Carolina Klu-Klux has allowed
to be laid aside If he is elected, let
the negroes live in squads of fifty, whom
no coward will dare shoot down, and
show no property after sunset. Lonely
men will be shot, and no black will
own mule forty-eight hours if any reb-
ell knows the fact
AS for Adams, l do not fear him-an
aristocrat by birth and democrat from
perverseness-the love of money makes
such union possible. He is demo-
crat, but afraid to confess his creed, or
wear its uniform. If any party allows
him to lead it, he will lead it to its
grave, as all the Adamses have always
done. Old John Adams vanity, bigot-
ry and hate of Hamilton put the federal
party into its tomb. John Quincy Ad-
ANS administration was the death blow
of the wing party, then called Republi-
cars. The light which gilds the Ad-
amses is that of sunset. They insure
defeat. Catham said Sir William
Young's voice was the death knell Of
his country. The breath of an Adams
fame has the chill of the charnel house
in it. Let them nurse their money-bags
like timid misers, and allow holder and
more unselish men, whose foreheads are
lit by the rising sun, to help the world
forward, undisturbed by their greedy
ambition or their querulous crotchets..
For loyal administration to protect
the negro, awe the rebels and give the
working-man chance, Grants little
finger is worth bakers dozen of Gree
leys. Yours,
WENDELL PHILLIPS. -

THE PHILADELPHIA CONVEN.
TION.

The Republican National Convention
meets next Wednesday. The list of del
egates is now nearly complete, and it
comprises less than score of United
States office holders of all kinds. An
Inspection of the names indicates that
the convention will be of a high order
in point of character, talent and expert
ence. Among the prominent men may
be mentioned Hon. F. A. Pike of Maine,
ex-Gov. Smyth of New Hampshire, Hon.
John Gregory Smith of Vermont, Hon.
A. HI. Rice and ex-Gov. Clafin of Mass
achusetts, General Burnside of Rhode
Island, General Hawley of Connecticut,
Gerrit Smith of New York, ex-senator
Cattell of New Jersey, Morton McMi-
chael of Pennsylvania, ex-Gov. Baker
and ex-senator Lane of Indiana, General
Dodge of Iowa, ex-Attorney General
Speed of kentucky, and his successor,
Mr.. Akerman of Georgia. 1t is said
that all the states have instructed their
delegations to support the denomination
of General Grant, except Connecticut,
Missouri and South Carolina, where the
feeling in favor of that step is as strong
among the Republican masses as in the
other States. The following table pre-
sents the whole matter.

THE CHANGING SUPPORT OF
GREELEY.

A curious change is going on among
the supporters of Mr.. Greeley-that is,
there is an obvious sinking away of the
original Liberals and substitution of
Democrats. A very good indication of
the latter is given in the recent adhe-
sion of the Boston Post, which turned a
decidedly cold shoulder at first to the
Cincinnati nominee. Now it declares
that '.it is every day becoming more ev-
ident that the Democratic masses are
joyfully accepting Horace Greeley >
that they could ask nothing more salts
factory than his letter, and consequently
he is the man that "they are ready to sup
port" We think it is clear that the tide
is running that way, though it is exceed
ingly doubtful whether it will mount
high enough to sweep the Baltimore Con-
vention.
On the other hand, those who consti-
tute the nucleus of the Liberal move
ment are manifesting their disappoint-
ment at the Cincinnati nomination open
ly and actively. The Nation teens with
suggestions of new plans for embodying
this dissent in some practical movement.

self does not support Mr.. Greeley As
to his real position, it is said "his friends
know what it is, but the public does not, :"
and he is called upon to make it known.
1t would be singular if both the chair
men of the Cincinnati Convention should
repudiate its nomination. If things go
on in this way much longer, Mr.. Gree
ley's party will be like the boys jack
knife, which got new blade and then
new handle, causing the scientific in
quiry whether it was the same knife af-
ter all 1t matters not in this case, see
ing that change is no improvement

The Philadelphia Convention for the

The Philadelphia Convention for the
denomination of Ulysses S. Grant for
President of the United States, or rath-
er, to ratify the nomination already
made in the hearts of the American peo-
pie, will b. held next Wednesday. The
assembly will be an enthusiastic gather
ing of prominent, experienced and pat
riotic men. all eager to preserve and per-
petuate life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness eager for the enactment and
strict enforcement of such laws as shall
be for the greatest good of the greatest
number. The unanimity with which
thirty three Republican State Conven-
tions have instructed their delegates to
vote for unconditional Surrender"
leaves not any room for doubts as to
the result We may be very much mis-
taken, but it is our opinion that just SO
sure as Grant is nominated, just so sure
will he be elected, the Democratic party
and ofice-loving Republicans to the con-
trary. Notwithstanding. Already is
the Greeley party getting weak in the
back, and slowly, perhaps, but surely,
nevertheless, are his followers beginning
to lag; especially, since his letter of ac-
ceptance, which gives the rebels such a
loving pat are his republican friends
making the fright about and soon, we
predict, will they march en- masse almost
for the Philadelphia nominee, leaving
of course, behind, few Liberal leaders
and some of their dear friends. The
reason of this "pack knapsack' move
ment on the republican part is apparent
from the fact that it is becoming more
and more plain, as before stated, that
Greeley is becoming the true-love of the
late rebels and sitting up mig hts with
the Democratic party. Should Greeley's
nomination be endorsed at Baltimore
that, more than anything else would have
the effect of driving home all good Re-
publicans and many Democrats, would
vote for Grant before they would fol
Greeley, and many would not vote at all
thus leaving the doors wide open fol
Grant. But in case Baltimore does no
endorse Cincinnati, Greeley threatens t.
60 back on the Democracy by retiring
in favor of Philadelphia. So we don
see why Greeley has not decidedly go
the advantage of them, and that whateve
may be done at Baltimore, Ulysses tn
warrior, will be Ulysses the Conqueror

WHY WILL YOU BE HUMBUGGED ?

AS certain parties are now travelling
throug h this county humbugging folks
by soliciting old pictures to be copied,
representing that they will do it cheaper
than any one else, | propose to give you
few facts in relation to them. In the
first place the pictures that they deliver
are common plate pictures-enlarged tin
types-for which they charge you from
20 to 60 per cent. more than [ charge
for the same kind of picture, for the
very reason that they are obliged to pay
express both ways, also to pay the ex-
penses of the travelling agent, all of
which you will save by getting your
work done nearer home. My work is
all done in my own shop, finishing and
all, Notwithstanding the Concord agents
statement to the contrary; and you will
find it to your interest to bring your
work here to be done, as | warrant my
work as good as the best and cheaper
than can be done by sending it away
Also, you will find my work just what it
is represented to be. as l shall not palm

there is any significance in the fact
that the wind should so suddenly have
uncovered Tammany Hall, and ex-
posed its contents to the gaze Of tho

certain, the cornice of the building
was so far projected as to give the wind
special hold. So strong was the wind
that the sidewalk next south of the

blown upon top of Mr.. Evans horse
