nounces there is no longer a reasonable
doubt that Boston will give large ma
jority for Greeley, and it will probably
elect 2 Liberal members of Congress. Be
sides the Times, which is the Greeley
organ, the Herald, which prints more
daily papers than all the other daily
journals of the city, and probably cir
culates twice as many in the city OF
Boston as oil the other papers, is an
,ssrnest, steady going, and influential
supporter of the Liberal reform. 1t is
also worthy of note that all the Sunday
pspers, the Herald, the Times, the Cour'
fer, the Gazette, and the Express are
supporters Of Greeley. Sumner, Banks
and their Liberal supporters will shake
Grantism TO pieces in the old Bay State.

HThe three ruling spirits of the
Administration are Morton, Cameron
4nd Conkiing. They have used it to
vent their spleen upon Trumball, Schurz
and Sumner, and are largely RESPONSE
bic for the dissatisfaction and disaffec-
ton Of Republicans. If General Grant
had no policy Of his own in the begin
ming, these men have not only made one
for him. but made its approval in the
support Of Grant for reelection a test
of party loyalty. How completely
Grant has surrendered to these advisers
is illustrated in the recent speech OF
General Farnsworth. Not understand
ing passage in General Grants annual
message in reference to Georgia, Gen.
Farnsworth called upon the President
for an explanation. The President took
his cigar out of his mouth, and, after
looking over the papers, replied: "Well,

mean. Morton put that in"

How TO Dwarf a Town.

Horace Greeley presents the fol-
lowing as a sure means OF destroy
ing the prosperity of the most prom
ising town. There can be no doubt
of its efficacy
off you wish to keep a town from
thriving, don't put up any more
buildings than you can conveniently
occupy yourself. If you should ac-
cidentally have an empty building,
and any one should want to rent it,
ask three times the value Of it. De-
mand a Shylock price for every spot
Of ground that God has given you
stewardship over. Turn a cold
shoulder to every mechanic and
business man seeking home among
you. Look at every newcomer
with scowl. Run down the work
of every new workman. Go abroad
for wares rather than deal with
those who seek to 90 business in our
midst. Fail to advertise, or in any
other way to support your paper, so
people abroad may not know wheth-
er any business is going on in town
or not. Wrap yourselves up within
yourselves with q coat of impervious
sclfishness. There is no more effec-
tual way TO retard the growth of a
town than actions like these emu
merated, and there are people in
every town who are pursuing the
same course every day of their lives,
and to whom the above remarks are
respectfully offered for their consid-

Isaiah ana the passive PoIicy.

From the Missouri Republican.
We have received from a well
known clergyman of this city the
following interesting note, giving
the Scriptural idea of the passive
policy, as expounded by the prophet
Isaiah:
"EDIToR REPUBLICAN-A scrap
in your paper of to-day has again
called to my mind the fact that the
question can be settled as to the or
igin of the well known phrase,
Mastery inactivity
" Many years ago, when the cele-
brated Joe Gales sat at the helm OF
the National IntelIigenceT, there
occurred in the columns of that
paper short controversy as to the
authorship of that significant utter
ance, Mastery inactivity 1t was
then, as now, attributed to variety
of prominent men in literature and
craftsmanship, and l often thought
of settling the question .by giving
the source, doubtless, from which
the phrase sprung, thus showing
that il is only the terse expression
of Scriptural idea, very forcible in
itself. / have determined to do this
now. In the Book of the Prophet
Isaiah, chapter 30th and 9TH verse,
you will find the germ of this strik-
ing utterance, tO-wit: Their
strength is to sit still , and this is, {
