Greeley in Harrisburg.

The State Journal gives the follow
ing account of the visit of the ''Trav-
cling Political Mendicant" to that city
on Wednesday evening and how he
was received by the poor Democrats
who he has so often lampooned in
the Tribune:
Horace, the wonderful, versatile,
ubiquitous and truculent Horace Gree
ley, has been here and gone. He
came in the midst of pumpkin gath
ering-came when ali other vegetables
are pouring in upon us-and left per-
fumed by the breaths Of men redolent
with whisky and lager, and whose
thick tongues one short year ago wag-
ged at the simple mention of his name,
with imprecations on his head and
awful damnations on his soul. 1t was
droll to sec the motley crowd peer and
gaze at the great apOstate; and it was
droll to see Greeley attempt the role
Of disinterested patriot. His clothes
looked as though they had yesterday
come from the store his cheeks glow
ed with the indication of well assumed
innocence, and his ample brow glisten-
ed with the majesty of a man wearing
honors which in his heart he felt ne is
not worthy of. Our Democratic friends
went in couples TO greet their new
master. They tremblingly grasped
the hand which smote them so often,
and as they looked steadily into poor
Greeley's white and uneasy eyes, they
inaudibly inquired "Do / look like
a gambler ?" Have the appearance of
a sot? do l smell of a sweat cloth ?"
81 am no bully, am ?" to all of which
Greeley, with his usual grace and
classic style, seemed to respond: "If
any man says so, he is liar and a
scoundrel." Mast ought to have been
on the spot. The leaders of the Dem
ocratic party at Harrisburg looked
most ludicrous-as they shook hands
and passed on, they wiped thier hands
on the seats of their breeches, las pre-
occupied man does when he unexpect-
edly touches anything by which he i'm
agines he has been defiled. In the
meanwhile Greeley looked as a child
with its first penny whistle. 1t was
awful to look at his smile. His thick,
bloodless lips were drawn into all
manner of contortions, and his checks
of sallow, pumpkin-like hue, glistened
with fever heat of expectancy and
greed. A more farcical public exEibi'
tion of feigned homage TO a man on
the part of people who we're in the
habit onl y year ago, of cursing and
reviling him, was never seen on any
occasion. 1t was the hardest piece of
work the Democracy of Harrisburg
ever did. On their part it was all
sham--whil poor Greeley took it in
earnest. We never in all our life saw
so many men blush as blushed ut this
Greeley reception, and as the echoes
Of the whistle which signalled the
train off in reverberations, the sound
Of long-drawn breath issued from the
crowd, as if every man present felt re-
lisved that the humiliating spectacle
was over

There is thoroughly matured if
not venerable story circulated in some
sections of how Pat cnticed the bear.
He was seen running, gun in hand,
with surprising agility, taking fences
and bitches, like steeple-chaser, be-
fore bruin. Having reached safety
and the jeers of his friends, he enlight-
ened them that he was only enticing
his enemy to more significant defeat
just as, Liberal testimony being taken,
Republicans are now lured to destruc-
tion. North Carolina, Vermont, Maine
all of the States where the coalition
have suffered so heavily-it is now ex.
planned have only been decoys to
tempt incautious confidence and at
tract pursuit. 1t is very likely that
when little more success of this sort
has been attained, las il soon will land
when the allies have achieved the feat
of the rebels in getting their foe "just
where they wanted them," they will
find that their happy application OF
the story will vanish before a square
meal by bruin, to which these prelimi.
nary affairs have only been appetizers.
If their purpose was what it is now
said to have been, there is, indeed,
come reason for fear. They have en-,
tieed their opponents to utter, absolute
certainty of success-so great that the
Fammany betters could not find men
TO hedge with. If this confidence is
an engine of weakness, great will be
the downfall, and awful bruins morti-
fication. But on the other hand, it is
painful to think what the result would
be in the event of the slightest miscal.
culation. Should Pennsylvania be
used as Maine was, and New York
follow Vermont and Others copy the
lead, not even the most notable ske.
daddling of the rebellion would par.
allied that in November. 1t is time
for them to try for their safety, while
there is yet opportunity.

stand the nature of the hazard at stake.
They see that the loss or gain of Penn
sylvania in October il the win-all or
lose-all of the November battle. Not
a single coalition paper in the country,
from Maine to Texas, takes any other
view of the case than this. BY learn
ing wisdom from their enemies, the
Republicans of the State may achieve
magnificent victory. BY persisting
in delusion, or failing to appreciate
properly the momentous character of
the struggle, the Republican party of
the whole country may be brought in
to irretrievable disaster. 1t is not the
honor or shame of the Keystone State
alone that are involved-it is the well
fare or calamity of the nation.

N-----
From this time forward until the
closing of the October polls the air
will be darkened with swarms of false
hood and SANDER concerning the State
candidates. Thus far, as is known
to every intelligent and reflective mind
the Confederate campaign has been
conducted on basis of misrepresenta-
ton and calu nny. 1t is true the shame
less mendacities so industriously hatch
ed and set ahoat have,in every instance,
been promptly met, refuted, and ex-
posed. This, however, has not deterr.
ed their authors from pursuing their
nefarious trade, but seems, on the con-
traIy, to have rendered them more un-
scrupulous and venomous than ever
1t is conceded by all that Pennsylva-
MIA is the national battle. ground, and
the October election the national fight.
All the available resources of the op.
position have been concentrated here.
and here their last and worst display
of malice and vindictiveness, masked
under pretentions and sounding
names, will be made. Knowing the
weakness Of their cause and the vul-
nerability of their candidate, Bucka-
LEWIS managers will try to distract at
tention these by scattering their stink
pots of abuse on every hand. Old lies
will be recOined, old calumnies revived,
old ISLANDERS revamped, and new de-
fractions of every character set in mo-
ton. Let 10 man be deceived. The
issues of the canvass, and the charac-
ters and records of the respective can
didates, are before the people. The worst
criticism has failed to reveal flaw in
the one-the most lenient judgment
must confess that there is hardly a
sound spot to be found in the other.

cheney and integrity" or Buckalew

New York journals are justly
inccnsed at tie result of the Stokes
trial. The Express calls it a farce
and contempt of common sense.
The Post says that we are nearing,
ii we have not already reached, the
point where taking life is not con-
sidered murder except in cases OF
vulgar burglars who have trespass-
ed on the rights of property and
sacrificed life to reach it. The
Commercial blames the law which
allows no intermediate verdict be-
tween murder in the first degree
and rlanslaughter in tie third de
gree. 1t is q lamentable fact that
the practical operation Of our jury
system is to show more leniency to-
wards the wealthy murderer than
to any other class of criminals
While the most rigid penalty ofthe
law is visited upon the horse thief
and other petty thieves, the inilu-
eltial and wealthy murderer as a
rule is rarely punished.

sired by his aunt to go over to her

"SLouGHING OFF."- In 1865
the Republican party saved itself
from the fate of its predecessor by
sloughing off the decrepid element,
and in 1872 it will do the same.
The party itself is as young as it
was the day Of its birth. The real
leaders Of the organization are in
full sympathy with the men and
ideas now dominant in the country.
Such it will ever continue to be, if,
as each generation of public men
pass into the lean aud slippered
age, the party, Sinbad like, casts off
the "Old man."

The imbecility to which Democ-

fact that while some Of the leading
organs Of the party were most anx-
iously urging the party to make a
straight out Democratic nomination.

Of the threats and dictation of the
Greeley-Prown faction of renegade
Republicans, to so do. With the
austere eye ottheir Republican mas
ters upon them, they dared not assert
that manly spirit ofexemption from
control and freedom from dictation,
which flows from a consciousness OF
superior authority and indepcua-
cnce. 0bsequiously they yielded to
