The Hon. Matt. 81. Carpenter is aSena-
Cor in Congress from Wisconsin, and sup
ports Grant for reelection. Let us see
what was his dispassionate opinion of The
party of hate, of which be is now mem
Der. In 1868 he wrote to R. r. Reed as
follows:
Sand yet the great Democratic party,
although at present (1S63) in false posi-
ton, blind with rage, and led by blind
guides madaer still, is the last and only
hope of the country. >
The party once more erect, its face to the
foe, no right minded man could fail to
choose correctly between the Republican
party, born of sectional hate, reigning only
with civil war, and the old hereditary party
of the Constitution, its brow adorned with
the trophies Of peace, and covered all over
with martial glory"
Now, since actual war ended, over seven
years ago, Carpenter and his associates are
opposed to peace and amnesty. They are
the apologists for the csrpet-bag govern
ments which have stolen outright from the
Southern States two hundred and fifty mill
lions of dollars -Four years ago they set
up the cry of peace, but their subsequent
action gave the lie to their promises. In
1868 Carpenter was bitterly opposed to the
party ssborn in seasonal hate" in 1872 be
is apologist of the crimes, corruption and
sectional hatred of that party. This is the
character of men who are Grants most
prominent supporters. If Seymour had
been elected four years ago they would
have been Democrats.

Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown for
President and Vice President On the Gin

election Of ex-President johnson, who has
never subscribed to that platform, over a
Liberal Democrat who stands squarely up
on it; and it deems this of more import

A Bnner correspondent Saws:

a BullRef correspondent says
We need capital and we need immigra-
ton to build up aad develop our great ma
tional resources aud wealth, and ask, are
those who have got it, and are so distrust-
full of us, as shown by their verdict on
Tuesday last, in the North, going to let as
have it? No sir. q
How did those people vote, who "are so
distrustful Of us, as shown by their verdict
on Tuesday last?' Is there any shorter
way into their good graces than to vote the
same Radical ticket? Is the Banner pre-.
pairing for suggestion that we shall all
turn Radicals The writer proceeds:
Seven years has interviewed since the
close of the war, and with some few excep-
tons we have not bulged an inch in this
respect-while the great territories and
States of the Northwest have known no
check-townS, cities and railroads are being
built as if by magic-Ihat is the cause Of
tit is because our political complexion
has not sufficiently changed to give them
confidence in us.
The Northwest grows faster than we, be-
cause European immigration moves on
isothermI lines, and because they are not
clogged with large negro population, with
which foreigners refuse to come in competi-
ton. But there is much of public plumber
and corruption, the stealing of public lands,

Mobilier swindles, mixed up with the ''msg-
ic" of railroad and town building in the

drippings from these fesh-pots of Egypt.

THE Earl Of Shafe5bury is building
new town for workingmen, short distance
out of London. Small dwellings therein
are rented for sum at which it would be
impossible TO live in the city, except in a
tenement house. The officers Of the rail-
road running through the property have
the good sense to ran early and late trains,
at low rates Of fare, especially to suit the
laborer. Here is an idea for the philan-
thropic in this country to act upon. Rents
are so high in the cities that labOrers must
put up with any SORT of a tenement, how
ever crowded, or seek home in the small
town or the country. High rents are do

NORLE WoRDs PROM GREELE1

NOZZLE ~ORDS FhOM GREELEY.
We have drifted almost to the close of
the Presidential canvass, and it will not be
amiss to reeur to the starting point. In bis
letter of acceptance Horace Greeley ex-
presses his approval of the Cincinnati plat
form, which denounces the usurpations of
power at Washington. He says the people,
irrespective of parties, are every where
sending him their congratulations. These
come, he says, from men in every station of
life, including Journalists independent of
official patronage, and Indifferent to the
smiles or frowns of power" They
strengthen him in the justice of his convic-
ton in favor of universal amnesty; and he
emphatically says:
"Our policy should aim to local self gou-
erTlmellt, and not at Capitalization that
the ciUH authority should be supreme orer
the military; that the writ of habeas corpus
should be jealousy upheld as the safeguard
of personal freedom; that the individual
citizen should enjoy the largest liberty con-
sistent with public order, and that there
shall be no federal SubuerSiOn Of the inter-
nal polly Of the several States and munich
palitias, but that each shall be left free to
enforce the rights and promote the we'll
being of its inhabitants by such means as
the judgment of It's own people may pre-
SCRIBE"
This is Democratic, This has the right
ring. 1t is sound and right; and all honor
to Greeley for uttering it! He goes on to
say that he accepts this doctrine Gas the
basis of true, beneicent, national recon-
struction, of new departure from the
jealousies, strifes and hates which have no
longer an adequate motive, or even plaus-
ible pretext, into an atmosphere Of peace,
fraternity and mutual good will" Noble
words, wisely said But nobler still are
his eloquent closing words. Hark to the
clarion note of the Presidential election of
1872:
'In this faith (of the certain triumph of
| the Cincinnati mOvement,) and with the
distinct understanding that if elected l
shall be the President, not of a party, but
OF the whole people, accept your nomina-
| ton In the confident trust that the masses
of our countrymen, North and South, are
eager to clasp hands across the bloody
clasm ,ohich has too long divided them,
forgetting that they hnUe been enemies, in
the jogfh consciousness that they are and
must he1lcetorth remain brethren"
Worthy TO be printed in letters of gold!
Well worthy to be emblazoned on the
pure white folds of the banner which Mr..
Greeley has carried through the canvass.
In all his speeches Mr.. Greeley has enforc-
ed and amplifed these sentiments. They
have rung like clarion notes from every
hastings upon which be has appeared, and
if they have failed to rally the people to the
standard be has borne aloft, it is because
they have let passion run away with reason,
as they did while the war was in progress.

The cities and towns as well as rural districts

to tell the truth, because they did not wish

were required for the transaction of gov
eminent business, the contract system was
adopted, and the work ostensibly let to the
lowest responsible bidder. But as the re-
suit has shown, the contracts were mere
farce, being frequently awarded to straw
bidders, who soon threw up the jobs and

The lapse of time ought not to bury one
of the earlier incidents that disgraced
Grants administration, and tested its sill
cerity touching civil service reform. 1t has
been universally conceded that there was
no appointment by which Grant got more
favor than by that of Gen. I'D. Cox, of
Ohio, as Secretary of the Interior. He was
Republican, gallant soldier, and a ma n
of known integrity, and he seemed from
bis ability an exception to the men whom
Grant called into his Cabinet. How long
did he stay in it? Less than year. How
did he go out oft? BE tried to resist the
corrupt political managers who
were prostit uting the machinery of
the government, and he soon found they
owned the President. Gen Cox was forced
to yield, and in sending in bis resignation,
Oct, 80, 1870, said in the course of it: %
"My views of the necessity of re form in
the civil service have brought me, more or
less, into collision with some Of our active
political managers, and my sense of duty
has obliged me to oppose some of their mo-
lives of action through the Department. l
have no doubt whatever that public senti-
ment will, sooner or later, sustain the eff
forts at what regard as needed reforms,
but l ought not to overlook the fact that for
the present they involve opposition which
it may not be to the interest of the admin
istration to provoke"
Here was a chance for President to side
with the right. Grant promptly sided with
the corrupt political managers, deserted his
friend and military comrade, and cOolly
bowed him out of Office. Few things were
more characteristic than this transaction.
The correspondence at the time was thus
versifed, and gives the pith of the matter
more briefly than the original prose:
cox TO GRANT.
/ do no choose TO rob the nation,
Nor let rogues do it in my name;
So I'll resign my present station,
And keep at least an honest fame.
''Our managers" are knaves; you KIN low it;
And so l waste no words to show Il.
