Political Notes.

The Boston Globe Washington correspond
ent says that large numbers of letters receiv-
ed by the Republican Committee here indi-
cate that there will be a stampede of Demo-
Gratis against Greeley to the extent, in the
States of Virginia, North Carolina, West
Virginia, Georgia and Alabama, of at least
twenty per cent. This is an under-state-
ment of estimates made by the partisan cor
respondents who make these calculations.
The Philadelphia Press says Confederate
soldiers who know Grant and have tested
alike his bravery and his magnanimity, will
Join hands with the boys in blue in support
OF the man who forgives as well as he fights"
The Greeley managers claim the Irish vote
for Greeley. The claim is not warranted.
Even in New York city, many prominent
Irishmen repudiate the sage. Among others,
Col. O'Beirne, Major Hanley and Michael
Scanlon, formerly editor of the Irish-Repub-
Hcan, have declared for Grant, and will
stump the country for him.
''Dixie," the air with which rebel bands
daily aggravated the feelings of Union pris-
oners in the Libby and Andersonville charnel
houses, was a fitting one to announce the
nomination of Greeley in secession city by
a convention inspired by secession leaders.
But will the Union Republicans and loyal
Democrats of the North consent to "face
such music?" Ag
The Dexter Gazette says that one of the
old Democratic fathers in Israel, who lives in
one of the towns in that country, said, day
or two since, in explanation of his political
status: 81 am going to vote for Horace Grcel-
ey; God blast his old pelt, hate him and al
ways did, but he has come over upon our plat
form, and have got to vote for him.
Mr.. Read, who has been known as the only
Greeley Republican in the Connecticut Leg
islature, and who is the President of the
Greeley Club in Danbury, now says he will
not vote for him, since he has become the
Democratic candidate. Senator Perkins, of
Connecticut, who was claimed by New-Ha-
ven Democratic paper as wavering toward
Greeley, declares that he has no thought of
voting for the man with "a Democratic hook
in his nose"
Gov. Warmoth of Louisiana, whom the
Democratic press has constantly called hard
names, is member of the National Liberal
Reform Committee.
The New Hartford correspondent of the
New York Evening Post says the Tribune,
since It has been ''no organ" has not been
"ground' lately to the satisfaction of the Col
lege students. At Hoadley's the sales have
dropped off two-thirds since the tariff ques-
ton has been taken from the Electoral Col
lege and remitted to the hands of the people.

BAR HARBoR, July IL, 1872.
Though for the past few years this island has
been pretty well written up, yet it has not re-
celved as much attention from newspaper men
as have the other watering places. 1t is impos-
sible in hasty sketch to do full justice to it's
numerous advantages. There is no other place
OF resort that affords such opportunities for
continual outdoor life, combined with the nee
essary comfort, so hard to be found in July
weather. The fisherman finds wide and
varied field for the exercise of his art The
invalid finds quiet place. cool, refreshing
breeze that obviates the effects of the suns
rays, and an atmosphere mild enough for the
weakest The business man finds a pleasant
retreat from the noise and dust of the heated
city. The intense heat during the day, so disa-
greeable at the mountain resorts, is unknown
here. There is breeze nearly all the time, and
it is cool and pleasant in the shade, and not un-
comfortable walking in the sun. The paths
along the shore, amid the tangled bushes and
under the old, gnarled cedars are favorite re-
sorts in the warmest days. The sea breeze is a
benefit in more ways than one Mosquitoes
are scarce, and one can walk the rocky paths,
enjoy the beauties of shore, forest and noun
tain and be free from the attacks of noxious
insects The various objects of interest are
sufficient to keep person of an enquiring mind
from the effects of ennui. For a lazy individ-
ual it is sufficient pleasant to sit on the piazza
enjoying the breeze and view, perfectly cool
and comfortable, and happy in the thought that
his friends at the mountains and springs are
roasting in the July heat, in order that they
may be extremely high-ton The attractions
ana comforts here are in all respects superior to
those of the inland resorts.

p The North Carolina RoOrback.

The associate organs of Democracy are
bawling themselves hoarse over the charge
that the Administration has sent 100000
into North Carolina in orderto carry the COM
ing election. They have discovered that the
Marshal of that State has just drawn this sum
of money to invest il in the purchase of DEM
ocrats and Liberals. The fact is that the
sum drawn was but $4,000, and was for the
purpose of meeting Court expenses already
incurred. 1t was a regular and ordinary
transaction, and is utterly devoid of that aw-
full flavor of corruption attributed to it. Room
for the next Roorback.

The Fall Of the Tribune,

The Stats Zetung, the German Demo cratic
paper of New York, says of the Tribune:
Whatever may be the issue of the Presden-
tlal election and whatever may be the the con-
sequences of the election of Greeley, if that
should be the result of his nomination in Balti-
more one good thing at least will attend events
in Baltimore on Wednesday, namely: The to-
tai destruction of the dangerous influence here
tofore welded by Greeley, and the complete
spiking of that great gun, the Tribune. This
dangerous instrument will, in consequence of
the course which the Baltimore Convention
will compel it to follow, lose its influence and
power forever. We are forced to laugh when
comparing the contests of the Tribune to-day
with those of only few months ago, and re-
turn to the old style, whether Greeley be elect
ed or not, would only excite disgust. Under all
circumstances its power-its power forever
which has been SO freely applied during the
past is lost, never to be regained.

Taken I

A gentleman wishes to chance one hundred
dollars that Horace Greeley will be elected
President of the United States in November
next-the party winning to pay the hundred
dollars won to the Female Orphan Asylum OF
this city. If any gentleman believes that
Greeley will not be elected, and wants to
make the above bet, he can hear of a custom
er by calling at the argus counting-room.
A gentleman in this city has authorized us to
take this bet and the argus man or his friend
can have the matter promptly adjusted by
calling at the PRESS editorial rooms at four
O'clock this lMondayl afternoon.

Greetings Of Gratz and Greeley.

Having heard intimations of two hours in
terview on Tuesday between Gov. B. Gratz
Brown and Horace Greeley, the Chicago Inter-
Ocean supposes the introduction of the CONVEX
sation may have been something like this:
BRowN-Subsoiling statesman, hail! am
Gratz Brown. am that 'third-rate politi-
clan" you wrote about two or three years ago.

THE gentlemen who met in this city Friday
night for consultation, numbered, as we are
informed by one who was present, about thir-
ty, some of whom were Democrats but most
ly, those who have for the most part, acted
with the Republican party. Mr.. Pike was
the only politician present who has more
than local reputation. He has not been in
accord with the Republican party for more
than two years. In 1870 he was one of the
number of gentlemen, who, if Gen. Cham
berlain would have listened to them, would
have started the Liberal-D Democratic party
then, and Mr.. Pike very nearly put himself in
the field against Mr.. Hale at that time. only

ing would probably afford some of hints
of the cause of their detection at this time.

SENATOR SUMNER's POSITION Bos-

SENATOR SUMMERS POSTTION.-The Bos-
ton Adrertiser's Washington special says:
Ex-senator James A. Shields of Missouri
has been trying to persuade Mr.. Sumner to
adopt the course which leading liberals have
urged upon him namely, to speak npon issues
of the hour in Boston and then 90 through
the West and South. After hearing various
arguments which Shields presented, Mr..
Sumner replied that, while he had strong
sympathy with the Greeley movement, there
was one thing which caused him TO hesitate,
and that was the probable treatment of his
colored wards by the Democracy. For these
he had nothing tohope at the hands of that
party, and for himself he had no intention of
deserting them. He could not see his way
clear to cooperate actively with the party
that would never accept the principles of his
civil rights bill. Last winter, when he with
some of his associates were battling the ad-
ministration, and his civil rights bill was
pending, he went over to the Democratic side
of the Senate chamber and appealed to them
there to vote with him so as to give him a
chance to 90 with the new movement, so
that he could support it consistently, feeling
that the rights of the colored race would be
safe with the new party. But in spite of his
appeals and his reasons no one of the Demo-
ocratic Senators would vote with him. Now
his only difficulty in joining actively in the
elfort TO elect Greeley was this refusal of his
democratic friends to give him the least as
surance that the rights of the cOlored men
would be respected. Shields in reply argued
that these Senators belonged to the dead
past and did not represent the Democracy of
the present, but Mr.. Sumner ended as he he
gan, by re-asserting his doubts whether be
could depend upon the new party to do ms
tice to the negro. '''

The World plainly says that the Democracy
have put hook through Greeley's nose The
Springfield Republican thinks this is letting the
cat out of the bag, and .implores the World to
shut up-thus
SIT is possible that the New York World is
sincere in its declaration that it prefers Greeley
and Brown to Grant and Wilson. But in that
case it should not tall about the Democratic
party putting hook in the nose of the Liberal
Republican candidates. That kind of talk is
ohoay untruthful, in the first place; and, in the
second place, it is certain, just as far it i'm
poses upon ignorant or credulous Republicans,
to lnJure the men whose success the World pro-
fesses to desire.''

THE FIFTEEN THOUSAND GREELEY GER
MANs-William Oswald Ottendorfers paper,
the Staats Zeitung, suggests an investigation
into the pretended list of 10000 signatures of Ger
mans of New York, demanding the nomina-
ton of Greeley and Brown, which was present
ed by Gov Hoffman at Baltimore. 1t plainly
intimates that Hoffman was willingly imposed
upon; that nowhere near fifteen thousand sig
natures were attached to the document, and
says, according to the correspondent of the Id
Uertiser:
We do not want to call the attention of our
readers to the lying assertion of the address,
that the gentleman who attended the Fifth
Avenue Hotel conference pretended to act as
representatives of the Germans in this country,
nor to the other assertion, that the nomination
of Greeley andlBrown had been enthusiastically
hailed by the overwhelming majority of the
German voters, and would be most cordially
supported; for to tell falsehoods of this kind
politicians consider sort of poetic license,
the responsibility for which does not arouse
any conscientious scrupleS.
