We notice that some of your cores
pondents are still harpingo on ''Veritas"
whose articles seem to have operated
as alcohnter-irritant upon those weak
and obdurate stomachs which yet re-
tain the Greeley pill. It is not sur
prising that such strange eontortions
and such wry faces should be exhibit
ed, but it is surprising and almost past
belief that lifelong Democrats should
haYe faith in the promises of a bitter
opponent and (ieserter from the ene-
my's ranks, and worse still, when that
enemy pro claims himself, moro de-sI
termined opponent than before, haylI

Democratic party no true and tried
men on whom they can rely as: expos
nents of their principles, or must they
accept such political renegades as
Sumner, Schurz, Banks, Greeley s. Go.
or even Ben Butler, should he offer
himself? This CRY of "Anything to-
beat Grant" or the election of one Re-
publican to beat another, is political
insanity, leading to suicide and death,
