The movements of Messrs. Sumner

Democrats of the South. Thus the
Richmond Enquirer don't want too
many Republicans to join the party
only Just enough to defeat Grant.
"Wc have not dreamed, 1t adds, "of

must endorse Greeley or die. An Afri-

We learn with pleasure that quite a
number of the Democratic leaders
have resolved to push b. Gmtz Brown,
the new Governor of Missouri, for
next President. We do not see how
they conld better this choice. Gatz
isn't much TO look at, but he has IDEAS
in his head, and is rather honest for u
successful politician. He was good,
second-ate editor, makes fair speech,
is radical free-trader. and can get
some negro as well as some white Re
publican votes; whereas, any known
copperliead will get none of either, but
those who can't help themselves. If
the Democrats were in the ascendant
