to this result comes from tho hearts
ofthc people. The last pOal of thun.

signals from every quarter. The
effect will be Sudden and complete.
We will have q new South and a

Tux feeling aroused by the nom
.ination of Greeley aud Brown i, III
some respects, different from any
previous political uprising in the
country 1t is not a wild pnrtizan
zeal that seeks to excite the masses
and by n coup de main cndcayors to
sound . wide hurrnh in every vii
lage aud hamlet. Ii is an earnest,
open, hopeful enthusiasm, an enthu.
siAsm that resigns the Past, that
would lead the Present up to y Flu.
turc that means Restoration.
Especially in the South the can,
vass is carried on with u manly dig
nifty, u total absence of the hollow
trickcry that insults the intelligence
of people. Its effect on the glar-
ing shAmelesSneHs of the Radical
party ia wonderful. They are no
longer defiant, and, thrown back in
to secrecy, are e%ndeavOring to coun,
'eract the revolution by singing
low and resorting to their bidder
councils. The frank:uttcrnnces Of
Horace Greeley have disArmcd
them, and their fall and free acccp-
lance by tho people astonishcd and
unnerved them, and their last re-
sort is an endeavor to play wildly
on old party prejndicos. The new
feeling is one they can neither
reach or comprehend it is so far
above their efforts, it moves on un.
disturbed in its mission, and will
finally consign them back to the
level from whence they sprung,
powcrless for evil, and insignificant
in their obscurity.

DEAR GENKRAL-Of course | have
no objection to your giving my
name to the public in explanation
ofthe facts. would say that being
a friend to the President as woll as
yourself desired you Shonld be on
good terms, and that you should un.
dOrStand that there WAS no person.
al feeling in the way OF relations
mutually satisfactory. Our state
ment is correct hat the President
wanted your support for his San
Domingo scheme, and that you
could have had the patronage of
the government tor giving it. That
was the distinct impression of the
President conversation made upon
my mind, and | communicated it to
ON at the time. If tho President
positively denies having had any
such conversation, l regret it. l
may console myself with the refIec
ton that this is the first time that
any statement Of mine has boon
questioned, whiS the President has
had occasion before this to distrust
the accuracy Of has recollection
Truly yours,
tSigneS] A. PLEASANTON.
