An admirer of Alexander Stephens thinks if
the "straights" should nominate him for the
presidency, his letter of acceptance would be
about forty-one miles long.

Gratis grow profane others briste up and pre-
tend to doubt, but the majority settle down in
the dumps and don't say word.
The New York Tribune published list of
government defaulters tie other day, and the
name of Daniel Able of St.Touis headed the
list. And now Governor Gratz Brown has just
appointed Able to an important office, because
he is Greeley man. This is how the retormers
reform.
The Providence journal says that gentleman
from that city, whe passed through the state OF
New York on a business tour three weeks ago,
and was convinced that Greeley would carry the
state, went through the same section last week,
and noticed wonderful change in the political
tone. He has gone home this time confident
that New York will give her electoral vote 10
the candidates of the republican party.

The Albany Journal says: "Ihe manned he
roes, who reported for their pensions this morn
ing, expressed their presidential preferences as
follows: For Grant 1872 for Greeley, 10; doubt

On Saturday the New York Herald was forced
to make this admission: From the accounts
furnished by our special correspondents in this
state and elsewhere, as well as from other indi-
cations of the popular feeling, it is evident that
the enthusiasm for Greeley and the opposition
movement is dying out, and succeeded by a
"sober second thought" which holds men back
from the change proposed by those who have
been endeavoring to rally the people of the
UnitedEStates to the cry of anything to beat
Grant"
The Veracious correspondent of the Springfield
Republican, who has Lately been travelling in
Maine, where he found lots of Greeley sentiment
lying round loose, evidently got some of his
names ofrepublicans who are going for Greeley
from tomb stones. He mentions among Others
I. A. D. Fessenden Of birmingham, eX-membef
of congress- who, according to the neurological
record of Bowdoin college, died September 49,
1868. 1t is really too bad TO thus violate the
graveyard for the sake of drumming up Greeley
recruits. Springfield Union.
The Tribune tries to supplement Mr.. Doolt-
ties Something" and comes 10 the conclusion
that Fan error of judgment and an error of taste
is the full extent Of his transgression." This is
about the view it took at one time of the frauds
of Tweed, Sweeny s. Co. The Tribune describes
Mr.. Conatty as zone Of those crawling parasites,
without honor or conscience, which infest the
capital" What pity it is that Doolittle, who
had know him for years, did not find it out be-
fore he went into confidential partnership with
him, and before he begged "May God bless and
prosper you," or introduced "My friend, 7. J.
Conatty," to Gen. Banks. We presume, how.
ever, that Mr.. Doolittle then, as now, found
Crawling parasites" his congenial associate;
and friends.
