From the New York Express
| Ex-President Millard Fillmore, now il
the city, excused himself from any ex
preston of his views on the grounds O
business and lack of familiarity with 20
litical matters. He referred the reporter
however, to the Hon. John Ganson, oi
Buffalo, as one acquainted with popular
sentiment in his portion OF the State
and as representing his Fillmore 81
opinions. Mr.. Ganson, a well.known
Democratic Of the old school, expressed
himself freely. He thought Mr.. Greeley
would be indorsed by the Baltimore Con.
vention. He had always been opposed
politically to Mr.. Greeley, and had never
expected to see the time when he would
be willing to vote for him, but at present
he thought there would be strong prob
ability of his doing So He had been in
Erie, Cattaragus, Wyoming and several
other counties since the Cincinnati Con-
vention, and had found the feeling every
where, among Democrats, in favor OF
Mr.. Greeley. He thought if the latter
was indorsed at Baltimore, as he be-
lieved he would be- there could be little
doubt Of the result. w "a AfH AAA y
Chief Justice Sanford E. Church says
that when he first heard of the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Greeley he did not think the
Democrats could be induced to support
him. Since then he has been about
among the masses of the party, and
found only one man who says he will
not vote for Mr.. Greeley. He believes
the mass of the Democrats are ready to
support Mr.. Greeley, and is surprised to
fad the Irish vote almost unanimous for
him. thJLa-5 .l ~ a -
Correspondence Chicago Tribune.l
WASHINGTON, May l9.-Hon. S. S.
Cox, of New York, stated to-day that he
had received letter from Horatio Sey-
mour, who speaks to the following effect:
Mr.. Greeley's election will be a pre-
seryative step toward local neighborhood
government, and will stop the course of
overbearing federalism. We can have
Democratic principles in some measure
by acceding to the great revolution in
his favor which is sweeping over the
country. In this state it is irresistible.
have not been on personal terms with
Greeley for some time, but there is wis
dom aud greatness in the popular move
ment to support him. / recognize in the
sympathy between himself aud the yot-
ing masses an element stronger than
talent or fitness. He has the talent and
fitness to suit the temper of the times"
l rode up TO the capitol to-day with
Senator Sehurz. He does not feel that
anybody has betrayed him, or that the
at Cincinnati did not un-
derstand itself. slil4 htajl
We have an easier campaign before
us.p he said, than had wished TO see.
With great obstacles we should have
made an intellectual campaign, and, by
harder fighting, have come out no worse.

Now, with a good honored, popular
! ticket, the, campaign will need no espe.
cial marshalship& l. preferred Mr..
Adams, as q high exemplar of the reform
spirit, think that Governor Brown s
advocacy Of Greeley helped Greeley to
this extent: That it reihvigorated Gree.
lley's friends, who had already come to
the conclusion that their favorite had
no chance.
Senator Schurz said that the Germans
and the German journals were somewhat
electrified, at first, at Greeley's success,
like q man proposing to take a tepid
shower-bath and by mistake letting on
the cold stream; but, he said, the signs
were. of the sensation growing more
pleasant and being approved healthful.
His own paper had first declared for
Greeley, and now half a dozen leading
journals had come out for the philoso-
pher and chapeau blanc. The temper
ance question did not disturb the Ger
mans, as Mr. Greeley had perfect right
to make a temperate example of himself,
and the Germans were proverbially tenn
perate and frugal people, and had no is
sue to make Of that kind not coercive
upon their established menage and ma
tional method of recreation The feeling
amongst the Germans-if there existed
anyways rather as to general reform in
its highest purpose, for which all German
Americans were ardent, and this feeling,
perhaps, implies doubt as to whether Mr..
Greeleys advisers in politics we're i'm
bued with the reform spirit. The express
sion of Mr.. Greeley's fullest assent in
the reforms expressed in the Cincinnati
platform would have the bes. effect upon
the German people, who already knew
Mr.. Greeley to have had at one time
power to give encouragement to the
knowrNothing movement, and that he
had persistently refused to touch it,
from reasons of principle and sympathy
with all schools Of foreigners.

WICHITA CRY EAGLE.-This is
the name of Marsh Murdock's new
paper, just started at Wichita. It
is large eight column sheet, print
ed on new type throughout, and is
perfect beauty in Typography.
The only objection we could sug-
gest in this respect is too much
white space in its advertisements.
This seems to be Murdoch notion,
though, and its all right. The Eagle
contains large list of new fresh
Wichita advertisements, four or
five columns of good local items,
an interesting description of the
Arkansas Valley, and much other
interesting reading matter. The
Eagle takes it's place ut once as the
largest, best looking and leading
paper of the Southwest. Wichita
will do well to give it a good sup
port, and from what We know
of the enterprising inhabitant
of that town and section of
we can have no doubt but
that they will do their duty in this
respect. Marsh now has more tel
bow ROOM" and will undoubtedly
improve his opportunities. Long
may the Eagle swOop, aud long may
Murdoch give 1t life and beauty.

TEMPERANCE.

Mr.. Ed TOR: Temperance men
sometimes complain that ministers
and church members are not doing
as much as they ought TO do in that
cause, and sometimes they have
just grounds for making this COM
plant. 1t was the desire of our
Presbytery to have the following
resolutions published, not only in
their UNCONVENTIONAL papers, but
also in the secular papers of this
State. Please insert this copy in
your excellent journal.
Very respectfully, j. C. w.
The Kansas Presbytery of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
at their session in Bourbon county,
Kansas, March %, 1872, unanimous
ly adopted the following report,
submitted by Rev. j. s. G. Wheeler
from the Committee on Temper
ance:
I'VE regard the success of the
| cause of temperance of the greatest
Importance; not only to promote
the material prosperity of our coun-
try, advance the happiness of the
people and shield hem from innum-
cradle evils, but also as a means of
preparing a way tor the introduce
ton of the Christian religion, in
many cases, where obstacles almost
insurmountable are now created by
the pernicious vice of intemperance.
| We therefore recommend the adop-
ton of the following resolutions by
this Presbytery:
RESOLVED, That all the ministers,
elders and church members con-
nected with this Presbytery be and
are hereby recommended to give
the cause of the temperance reform
within our bounds their earnest sup
port.
ReSolUed, That each minister of
this Prosbytery deliver one sermon
at least on the subject of temper
ance between this and the next ses-
sion of this Presbytery.
RESOLVED, That we are in favor of
the enactment of restrictive laws
such as have been adopted by the
States OF Ohio, Illinois and other
eastern States, making the vender
of Intoxicating drinks responsible
for the damages inflicted by their
pernicious traffic.

We talk a good deal about the
rspidity of our country's growth in
wealth as well es in population, but
there are really very few people
who have any definite idea as to
how rapidly this growth Is going
on. Perhaps the following figures,
extracted from q report recently
made by General Walker, Superin-
tendent of the Census, may aid US
In giving definite shape to our con-
captions on the subject. The actual
value of all the real and personal
property IN the United States, in
1870, twas S30,O6S,5 lS,5O7. In 1860, it
was SIG, 159, GIG, O6s. so that the
property has already doubled with
in the last census decade. The in
crease between 1850 and 1860 was
about S9,OO0,OO0,O 900, while that be-
tween 1860 and 1870 was nearly
SI4. OO0, OOO.O 900. The wealth of New
York is very much greater than
that OF any other State, the aggre-
gate being s6.50o,s41, 264, while
that of Pennsylvania, the next high
est, only reaches S3,SOs, $40, 112, or
q little over half the value of New
York's property. The ratio of in
crease, too, is unusually large in
New York, the property value of
that State having advanced, within
ten years, from 81 ,s43, 33S, 5l7 to the
present figures, more than trebling
itself, while Pennsylvania's wealth
Is but little more than double what
1t was In 1860.

speaks in terms of praise of young

Leavenworth carried the bonds

Leavenworth means business, after
