The editor Of the Springfield, MasI, Re
publican has had . conversation with a
clergyman recently retsrnsd from Michigan,
10 which the following interesting state
menh occur:
"The hold developed by Mr.. Greeley upon
the people Of Michigan il wonderful. With
the Democratic masses he took at once, aud
the masses have compelled his acce ptance
BY the leaders. Among the Republicans
there we're at hrst isolstsd Greeley men
Then they began to multiply, till now thsy
are as thick as hies.' Why, met half a
dozen Of my psriShionsrS, the other day, on
matter Of business, aud the conversation
turning on politics, | was Surprised TO find
that though We we're oil Republicans We
Wsre all going to vote for Greeley"
The postmasters are said to he practising
the same dodge now that was resorted to by
Van Bursn'G officials, when he was running
the second time for the Presidency Of
forbidding the transmission of franked
slsotionssring documents, where such docu-
msntS are in the interest Of opponents Of
the administration. President Van Buren,
was not reelected.
