A LETTER from New Haven, written by
a "Thomas II. Seymour Democrat" and
published III one of the New York dailies,.
says, present appearances indicate that the
"Greeley campaign in Connecticut can meet
with nothing but disaster" A large proper
ton of the Democrats will not support Gree
ley, but, on the contrary, "bite their lips IN
wrath at the bare mention of his name"
The names of prominent Democrats who
will not vote for Greeley are given; and
the writer adds: "Thus, all over the
State, may be found men OF the greatest
prominence in the party, who will under no
circumstance support Greeley" Some OF
them will not vote at all, some support the
Louisville movement, others are declaring
for Grant. Meanwhile, William w. Eaton
of Hartford, "who enjoys the widest rep
tation as Democrat of any man in Con
necticut, will leave for Europe. in shor
time, to spare his eyes the sight OF Demo
Gratis campaigning for Greeley" INT
opinion of Zone Of the oldest Democrats
in the State,n expressed to the writer las
Saturday, is cited as follows: why
Greeley stands no more chance of carrying
Connecticut than he does of passing mt
history as a wise and consistent man."

DEATH OF JUAREZ.

The death of President Juarez, Of Next
co. le>ves that unfortunate country in
more deplorable state of revolution than
ever. Juarez was possessed of strong
mind, and with strong hand he succeeded
better than any of his more immediate
predecessors in governing his turbulent and
factious fellow countrymen. His constitu-
tional successor is represented as being IN
sympathy with the rebellion. If this be
true, it will strongly provoke the hostility
of those who now comprise the government
party, and who are apparently possessed OF
considerable strength. If a popular cleo
ton is resorted to in the present confused
and revolutionary state of the country, II
will be impossible to predict the conse
quences that may follow. In brief, there
seems but little hope for unhappy Mexico
except under the protection of the United
States, and even that is a questionable
remedy. 1t would certainly be yer,
questionable policy for our country t.
adopt. f~ fI -'8ss77. H'ss- a"T

OUR NATIONAL CREDIT.

The overthrow of the Tammany Ring in
New York in 1871, was followed by a
marked improvement in the value OF our
national securities. From leading finan-
cial journal Of November II, 1871, we clip
the following:
market for securities improved under
following influences First, the result OF
the New York election, impartmg, as II has,
healthy stimulus throughout every de-
partment of commercial and industrial ac-
tivity. Secondly, increased disposition oil
! foreign capital to invest itself here. Since
the election, the belief has been that the
dividends payable to foreign creditors Will
be reinvested during the next two months
to the extent of fifty per cent. more than
could otherwise have been expected. The
amount of these dividends is estimated to
be $125, 1000, 900" aHa aHa aaE
Here we,have cause and effect; the cause,
the defeat of the Democratic party in SIM
gle State; the effect, the increase in the
value of our securities throughout the
world. Does any reasonable man believe
that the triumph of the Democratic party
would improve the value of our securities
On the contrary, can one intelligent man o.
found who does not believe that the detea
of the Republican party would be followed
. by general depreciation of our bonds j
the money markets of Europe and our ow
country? Our securities depend Target
on the success of the party that framed tn
system on which they are founded. To elet
men who are known to be opposed to tn
} system, to bring into power party thi
, has fought for the past twelve years again
, it, would be an act of financial suicide.

LIBERAL CONSISTENCY.

President Grant appointed Thomas Muir
ply Collector of the port OF New YORK.
Horace Greeley and Senator Fenton opposed
the appointment ON political grounds. The
Tribune regarded the appointment as po-
litica blunder, and Senator Fenton was ter
ably severe on the President for appointing
a Democrat to so important an office. The
Tribune devoted column after column to
prove Murphy a Democrat, and dared Muir
phy to deny the charge which it made that
he.hal voted for John Il. Hoffman, the DEM
ocratc Governor of New York. Fenton was
equally aggressive, and considered the TACT
that Murphy had voted for Holman, the
sum of all villainies," and the fact that
should secure his instant removal from
Office. The investigation into custom house
affairs in New York resulted in vindlcatng
the Collectors personal integrity and prov
ing the charges raised against his official char
acterfalse and malicious. But, IN the esh-
nation of Greeley and Fenton, the uncon-
tradlctcd fact that he had voted for Gov
ernor Hoffmon was the objectionable sin
which they could never forgive. Now mark
the consistency ofthese very liberal poll
ticians. A few months only have inter-
yencd since these gentlemen thought vote
for Governor Hoffman was the grayest OF
political crimes. Now they are hand and
heart with this same John I. Hoffman, do
inc their best to further his interest as
Democrat, and he is in turn using all his IN
huence to advance the reasonable move
ment against the Republican party. The
very man that Greeley and Fenton onc'
thought it political crime to vote iof i
now the leader of Greeley's cause in tn
State of New York, This piece of consist
ency is in keeping with the whole move
ment. 1t proves one of two conclusions
either these men were honest or hypocrlt
cal when they objected to MIR. Murphy o
the grounds of his having voted for Hon
man. If they were honest then they ar
dishonest no,c. If they were dlshones
then. how much credit can we allow then
for honesty noao?
