LoNa BRANCH, July 20. 1872
The views expressed by Senator Freinghuysen,
Of New Jersey, who belongs to the Grant-ar any
prioe-party, were given In yesterdays HERALD. It
will be found interesting to know what his brother
Senator OF the same State, who holds opinions
Numerically opposed to him, being one OF the
eaders OF the Anything beat-Grant party, has to
Jay on the orthc0ming Presidential election. In
conversation with your correspondent, Senator
stockton expressed himself as follows;-
81 have never felt more certain Of any result In
overwhelming majority. The very singularity OF
lhe situation-the fact that Greeley leading pro-
at Cincinnati; that Mr.. Greeley, lifelong 0ppo.
nent OF the Democratic party, has captured by an
cratic Convention at Baltimore-sstisaes me that
he will capture Grant and all his cohorts. The
administration politicians are very much ont Of the
reckoning in saying that this was movement OF the
leaders, that every one In the democratic party
quainted with the facts knows that the South STAN
peded and the Northern democrats ran over their
leaders, that there must be some great principle TO
create such an extraordinary change, and the very
fact which the Grant men failed to understand
that they were In the midst Of an earthquake-all
this Is the best evidence that they simply blind

It is more than ALL perhaps that the imbecility Of
that peace which was promised, has permitted self

the people Of North Carolina. speaking for the
administration and from the President, that they do

They want to an i up again with foreign matter

In answer to an inquiry as to the general result
the Senator sad:- n
'New York will certainly 90 in favor OF Greeley

cradle OF the liberal movement, can be relied upon
as being altogether for Greeley Pennsylvania Is

Greeley will receive nine to ten thousand majority.
The movement cannot be arrested. The other

Southern States, almost as unit will vote for
