The infrmities of age have COM
PEELED Hon. Gerritt Smith to decline
an invitation to speak in Cazenovis.
In his letter he says: "Vitally i'm

succeed. Democratic rule very near

forbid that we should come again
under this ruleI The return of the

Chas. Sumner is not as "big an
Injun" as he thought. His letter
does not call to his side the colored
citizens of the land. They are will
ing to follow Grant. Greeley and
his allies cannot get their votes.
Gen. John A. Dix was nominated
by acclamation as the Republican
candidate for Governor of New
York. "There is triumph in the
air."
Sumner, in his letter, speaks of
"his excellent friend Chase" This is
touching. Lovely in their lives, in
death they were not divided.
There will be an immense crowd
at the Pittsburg Soldiers Conven-
ton.
Boss Tweed has contributed $75,
900 to the Greeley campaign fund.
Birds of feather, &c. =.
Gratz Brown never drinks, he only
"applies stimulant for temporary re-
lief" that's all.
AT. Stewart said, "Yes, should like
to vote for Greeley if could afford it,
but we business men can't afford it."
If Horace Greeley couldn't get
any encouragement from his native
State, where will he go to look for
comfort?

A gentleman in Lewiston, Me-, adver-

four good carriages, which he will sell

Grant is elected President of the United

Early in October, says a dispatch,
Farmer Greeley will elucidate to the ag-

he may be better qualified to speak on
the particular branch of that subject that

The Vermont election, on a straight
issue between Grant and Greeley, shows
what the Greeleyites have to expect from
Republican voters. The Louisville Con-

ism will get from the Democratic party.
The Republican phalanx remains COM
pact and strong. Democracy has drifted
ashore and gone to pieces.

Mr.. Greeley and Pensions to
Rebels.


There is much more satisfactory way
for the personal organ of Mr.. Greeley to
dispose of the widespread impression
that the Baltimore candidate is in favor
of paying pensions to rebel soldiers,
than by flying in rage whenever the
subject is mentioned, and stigmatizing
those who allude to it as "lost to self
respect" If Mr.. Greeley will simply
say, over his own signature, that he is
opposed to any such proposition, that
the subject has never been broached to
him by any person whatever, and that
those Southern journals and orators that
assume him TO be in favor of such pro-
ject are guilty of misrepresenting his
views and opinions, the whole matter
would be definitely settled. There is
no necessity for that paper to quote the
fourteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton to prove that such payments are
inhibited by organic national law. The
people of the country have not yet for
gotten its warm endorsement of Jere.
Blacks recent letter, in which he de-
nounced those amendments as "frauds,"
and called upon the reactionists to sup
port Greeley because his election would
'begin the process of their extinction"

the Greeleyites."

in stating that the great business men
there will not only vote for Grant, but
that they are organizing political pro-

former rebel element, will produce a f.

more disastrous than the great crash of

it is claimed that Horace Greeley

he has been a good editor; but a

By CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH.
Come all ye true Republicans,
Well hoist our same old banner;
And cast our votes in seventy-two
For Grant, our o. s. tanner.
He tanned soma hides in sixty-four,
And some in si1ty-eight, sir;
He'll tan some more in seventy-tHo,
And some of late dater, sir.
Now, when we get their hides all tanned,
Well give them all their dues, sir;
Our Henry Wilson is the man
To make them into shoes, sir.
There's Horace Greeley's hide is tough,
As you will all remember;
But Grant will tan it soft enough,
By the fifth of next November.
And there is Greeley's old white hat,
Well tan it over new, sir,
And have him wear an extra pair
Of Wilson's high cut'' shoes, sir.
Well take old Horace, JEFF. and Brown,
And tan them altogether
And start shop in every town,
For the sale of damaged leather.
The ladies all will go for Grant,
And by the latest news, sir,
Declare they will wear nothing else,
But "Wilson's high cut" shoes, sir.
Then will our fears and troubles end,
And all our sorrows cease, sir;
Well raise our banner to the skies,
And vote for Grant and 'peace," sir.
