So great is New York with her million
OF inhabitants, her vast means and her
bre,eminent position as the metropolis
Of the republic, and 30 closely connected
as she is by business interests with nearly
every section of the Union. that we hear
as much Of, and attach equal Importance
to, her municipal affairs, and probably
more, than to that of most States. The
city seems to be in critical situation
now from the queer conduct OF the Re-
formers, so-called, or Committee of
Seventy and the Republican party,
which threatens to throw into power
aagain she same corrupt and thieying set
which feeced the people under the rule
OF Tweed and Connolly.
last year, when the frauds Of Tam.
many were disclosed. seeing the utter
imposaibility of putting forth reliable
candidates from their own party organi-
zations, which were in the hands of the
oorruptionists, the Democrats, by the
thousands, being more OF patriots than
partisans. joined hands with the Repub-
icans, who were Justify crying for re-.
form, and succeeded in breaking the
power of the Tammany ring, and in res
ouing the State from their hands. The
city government of New York belongs
by right to the Democracy, their party
having majority of from 10000
to 10000. When. therefore, the Demo-
Gratis. having purified their party orga-
nization. and placed men of spotless
character, like O'Oonor. Tilden, &C., at
the head of affairs, put forth an une1-
ceptionable ticket like the one which
they have, it was to be expected that the
Republicans, who profess desire solely
for an honest and capable selection of
city officials, would combine with them,
and insure the defeat of the Tweed fac
tion, which Jimmy O'Brien now leads.
But not 30. Hoping to take advan-
tage OF the split in the Democratic
ranks in municipal affairs. 80 ns to aid
in the Presidential election, the Grant
ties have put third ticket in the field,
with Mr.. Havemeyer, very excellent
man, it is said, for Mayor, but with
creatures of Tom Murphy and the Gus.
tom House clique as candidates for sub
ordinate positions, which latter com.
bined must shape the character Of the
administration, should the ticket be
elected.
But there il but little if any chance oi
the success of their ticket, and the
scheme appears very palpably to be te
gain acoessions to their State and Presi
Dental vote by oonsigning the city ageir
to the thieves of old Tammany. It is te
be hoped that they will not succeed. ani
that the chief city of the republic may
be saved from the clutches of vampire,

which are now feasting upon the life

Gen. U. S. Grant.
BY HORACE GREELEY.

"The record of General Grant is the
most GLORIOUS RECORD Of OUR
HISTORY. Whatever may be his poll
tics, no citizen can be insensible TO
Grants merits or the lustre of his name.
In knowing Grant we know ourselves.
Like Tennyson's great Duke. he stands
before us, great in saving common-sense
and in simplicity sublime" The con-
queror of Lee is hidden forth to con-
quer Lees remaining allies; and as
the canvass deepens and ripens, it will
be found, we think, that our candidate
will win to his standard large part of
the party known as war democrats "
Tribune, Nay 20, 1868.
General Grant is as thoroughly a
citizen to-day, as perfectly civilian in his
habits, as any man in the country. We
think of no one in public station who
represents more fully the idea of the
American gentleman. transformations,
unassuming, brave; without ambition,
forbearing, resolute in doing what he
deems to be right, but never offensive in
asserting himself, General Grant is a
man of the people, one in heart and feel
ing with the men who dig and pillow and
weave" Tribune, FEB. 10, 1869.
THE insinuation that the President
was in collision with the Gold Gam
blers never had fact to lift it above the
level Of audacious calumny, or a motive
save the coarsest sensationalism or clum-
sy malignity. There aOas combination
to put gold up. When it assumed dan
gerous proportions, Gen. Grant interfered
and crushed it. Thereupon he is charged
with having been a member of it ! The
country knows its President to be inca
pable of such conduct. If it did not, it
would still be able in SO plain case to
reason that men are not secretly seeking
that which they openly, determinedly,
and effectively destroy. By THEIR
FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. "-Iri-

A False Witness.

Gen. Fitzpatrick has not only become
a false witness, but ia his campaign
speeches in this State, has he become so
coarse and abusive toward Gen. Grant,
that he is Kissed by his audience. Among
his later slanderous assertions are those
that Gen. Grant has no humanity. At
Glen's Falls, the other day, he stated
that when Gen. Rawlings lay on his
death-bed, he telegraphed to Gen. Grant
atSaratoga General, / am dying l
must see you before | die. Come here"
Grant, said Fitzpatrick, refused to go,
preferring rather to attend ball at Sar-
atoga. Fitzpatrick dwelt upon this theme
for twenty min utes in his speech, pictur-
ing the dying Rawlings last moments
and painting the awful ingratitude of
Grant in not fastening to his bedside.
The New York Times, says that Sena-
tor Conkllng, who happened to be posted
on this incident spoke at Glen's Falls
on the 18th inst, where he most effect
ually foreclosed this fabrication.
Mr.. Conkling was at Saratoga at the
time of the occurrence on which this fab
rication is founded, and therefore knew
whereof he was speaking. The Presi-
dent received a dispatch from Gen. Sher-
man, merely saying, Rawlings is
worse" At this moment Mr.. Conkling
had a special train in waiting, which was
to convey the General to Utica, where
he expected to meet large concourse of
citizens. There was no urging, no en-
treating in Sherman's dispatch to Grant
to hurry back to Washington. He was
simply informed Rawlings is worse
Grant instantly relinquished the visit to
Utica, and FASTENED back to Albany,
Mr.. Conkliug accompanying him; there
took freight steamboat not carrying
passengers to New York, saving twelve
hours of time reached Washington be-
fore Rawlings expired, aud accepted the
guardianship of his children. Mr.. Conk-
ling stated fact, also within his own
knowledge, showing that Grant was TAX
ing the kindest interest in these children,
keeping up a correspondence with them
during his late trip to the North.

Political Notes.

The Tribune indorses Judge Blacks
letter as a "pungent and unanswerable
arraignment of the administration"
And Judge Black arraigns the constitu-
tional amendments as frauds upon
the constitution, and therefore void. Yet
we are told this is not campaign against
the work of the republican party !
Indianapolis Journal.
A canvass in the paper mills of
Messrs. A. G. Denison q Co., at Mechan-
ic Falls, Me-, resulted as follows: SO for
Grant, 8 for Greeley, old line DEM
ocrats, who will not vote for any other
than a straight. ticket, and 6 democrats
undecided. Among the SO Grant voters
were 4 who have heretofore supported
democratic nominations.
A call has been issued, signed by
William Dean, recently chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee of
Delaware, for the election of six dele
gates to represent the State in the Louis
vile convention. Dean has organized
a straight-out democratic club, and a
large number of democrats, it is claimed,
are ready to join it.
- Is Horace Greeley on record as ia
voring the right of secession Yes. Not
only did he assent to it in the Tribune
before the war, but he transferred his
utterance to his History of the Ameri-
can conflict after the war, and there
leaves it as monument of his folly. In
the first volume of the American Con-
fiict, page 359, he copied approvingly an
article which he published in the Tribune
of November 8, 1860, one passage from
which reads as follows: " And whenev-
er considerable section of our Union
shall deliberately resolve to 60 out, we
shall resist all coercive measures design
ed to keep them in it."
Judge jeremiah S. Black of Penn
sylvania, in his letter announcing his pur-
pose to support Horace Greeley, speaks
of the reconstruction act as a most cruel
and unjust bill of attainder. Of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments he
says: They were frauds upon the spirit
and letter of the instrument, inasmuch
as they effected the worse outrage which
it was made to prevent" And this is
the manner in which the great majority
of democrats are supporting Mr.. Gree
leyl Does it argue sincere conversion:
or mere pretense to rend the republican
organization, and regain control of the
government?

New HAMPSHIRE.

All the reports from the old Granite
State are encouraging to the election of
Grant and Wilson. Two democrats will
vote for Grant where one republican de-
serts to Greeley. The Lebanon Free
Press in discussing the prospect in that
town and State says "After diligent
inquiry, we have been able to find two
and only two of the five hundred repub-
licans of Lebanon who propose to go the
Dolly Warden ticket. One of them has
never been regarded as fully in sympa-
thy with the party, and has not been so
in fact. Both have very earnest demo-
cratic wives, and it is presumed that each
couple have concluded to shake hands
across the bloody chasm and together
join the Liberals, for the sake of peace
in the family They are very excel
lent citizens, withal. On the other hand,
we know that more than dozen demo-
democrats of Lebanon have declared
most positively, since the nomination,
that they cannot under any circum-
stances vote for Greeley. Many others
are doubtful and wavering, and others
shake their heads in silence. We get
precisely similar reports from all quar-
tiers of the State, and unless the most I'M
accountable disasters attend the fall
elections, we have no thought that Gree
ley can come within 5000 of carrying
New Hampshire. Put a pin in here, if
anybody wants to"

The Straight Democrats.

An important movement is going on
among the straight democrats, in some
parts Of the country. They are compos-
ed of those who refuse to support
Greeley, and propose to have straight
democratic ticket, of their own. They
are to have national democratic con-
vention at Louisville, Kentucky, next
month. Last Saturday they had meet
ing in New York, and it was determined
to send delegates to the Louisville Con-
vention. 1t was announced at the meet
ing that Charles O'Conor, the eminent
lawyer, was in full and entire accord
with the Louisville movement, and had
announced his intention of giving it his
earnest and unqualified support. The
adoption Of Greeley by the Baltimore
Convention was stigmatized as base be-
trayal of party trust, which ought to be
sternly met and vigorously put down.
Mr.. O'Connor has been mentioned as a
candidate for president. Should he be
nominated, or any other strong demo-
crat it will have an important influence
on the presidential election.

Mr.. GREELEY's OPINION OF Mr..
SUMNER.-It is not many weeks ago
that Horace Greeley was riding in the
horse cars in the city of New York. A
friend who sat near him was reading a
paper. which, commenting upon the new
edition of the works of Mr.. Sumner,
suggested that Mr.. SumAer was fool
for publishing some of his old speeches
upon events which had passed away.
" Mr.. Greeley, this paper says Mr.. Sum-
ner is making fool of himself" remark
ed the gentleman. "God Almighty got
the start of him fifty years ago." was the
response of the Farmer of Chappaqua.
