CAMPAIGN NOTES.

the southern Greeeleyites talk much
of the bloody chasm. They know
all about that chasm-they made 1T.
Greeley hats are now used for set
ting hens. Their popularity was
about as heightened as the Demo
cratic news from North Carolina.
There is man in Waterville, n. H
who announces his determination TO
support Greeley because he thinks
the 100000 in Confederate bonds
which he holds will become valuable.
A private letter from Knoxville,
Tenn.says: Greeleyis losing ground
in the South every day. There is
no doubt of it. / see too many evi
dences of the fact to be deceived
1t is rumored that Greeley, being
satisfied that he will be distanced
in the Presidential race, proposes to
withdraw in favor of O'Connor, who
will undoubtedly, be the choice of
the Louisville Convention.
Some too sanguine chow-chow
predicted that Hannibal Hamlin
would go for Greeley. 1t has been
observed that the ex-Vice President
egoes for him" as hungry hen
goes for a grasshopper.
Those who can't shake hands a.
cross the "bloody chasm" - the
boys with ''stumps" where hands
should be. But Greeley and the old
peace Democracy can, having kept
out of danger. -..
Hint to Confederate organs about
commenting on election returns:
If the election appears to be in your
favor, call it a "key note;;" if it
proves to be against you, call it a
fraud.
A Greeleyite was discovered the
other morning closely scanning
bulletin announcing the result of
the North Carolina election. 'Ahn
said a Grant man, taking your
morning bitters, l see." Greeley
dug out for home, and made no sign.
The Beaver( Pa CONSERVATIVE last
week took down the names of Gree
ley and Brown, and says: "The
National Ticket shall stand at our
masthead, a begging vacancy until
the Louisville Convention fills the
blanks. - 'A- .'' -'''i ''''' ''' 10 -''. ~
Hon. Robert c.. Winthrop says
81 certainly cannot support Greeley
and the constitution. / can see no
safety in their success. Neither re-
form or reconciliation could result
from so unnatural a combination,
but only, renewed discord and con
fusion. .iii8 ttbl., or H.i 4 loi -ga..
Poor Sumner 1t n ow turns out
that with all his love for the color
ed man, he lodged the vote on the
Fifteenth amendment, and oppos-
ed the civil right bill, while profess
ing to advocate il. its principles
These facts are attested by the
Congressional Globe s-.i+-. 9 ia
The old Democratic arguments
of sticks, stones and rotten eggs
were used at Lexington, Kentucky
few nights since to silence a Re
publican speaker and break up Re
publican meeting. The Republican
cause is gaining ground in Kentuc
ky, and the Democratic resort te
brute force is proof of it.
A Democrat, observing that the
votes on railroads and at all the
hotels are all for Grant, remarked
that it was easily accounted for
Democrats and Liberals said he
'stravel on foot, and put up at sa
looms. just take vote at the sa
looms if you want to see where Gree
leys strength is.
1t is stated that the family ot
Charles Francis Adams received s
letter from him, in which he states
he will not consent to be candidate
for Governor of Massachusetts, that
he does not sympathize with the
Greeley movement, and regards the
reelection of Grant as essential to
the best interests of the country.
The nomination of General Dix
for Governor of New York has had
a marked effect on Democrat aspir
ants. Governor Hoffman declines
a renomi mination: Judge Sanford E
Church, hitherto apparently ths
Democrat favorite after Hoffman
declines. Yes, 'there is triumph
in the air." i,aiE .seso ael l.l-.
The heavy joker of the New Yorl
Tribune says; "The danger of the
campaign is the confidence oul
friends feel that the election OF
Horace Greeley is so much desired
by masses, that it will be accom-
plished without the ordinary cam
paign work" That is certainly tn,
coolest thing out since the advent
of the dog days.
The rooster has been superseded
by the crow, as the emblem of th,
Greeleyized. The first sound tina
will greet the ears of these zealou
'reformers,' as the light of the new
ly risen sun shimmers and glow
upon the broad bosom of old "Sal
River" on the morning of Novem
ber 6, 1872, will be the melodiou
sscaw, cav, caw," ofthat festive bird
