SrGNIFICANT.-It must be pleasing to
any republican who may still think of
supporting Mr.. Greeley, to see the kind
of company they are in, and the ground
on which they support the Baltimore
nominations. For instance a Southern
paper hoists Greeley's name at the head,
on the following platform
"Whte supremacy and reputation
The Constitution of 1864 and the
rights of States
This is the white mans government
made by white men, for white men, and
their posterity foreverl
Down with the Fifteenth Amendment
Total Reputation of the monstrous
Yankee war debt--that accursed uncon-
stitutional burden accumulated by an
unconstitutional mob, styling itself a
Congress, in the prosecution of an un-
constitutional crusade, for the accom-
plishment of an unconstitutional and hor-
rid purposel"

Political Notes.

The Fishkill Standard says: "Hur-
rah for Oh" Which Troy Times.
Gov. Salisbury of Delaware says
1000 democrats of that little State will
refuse to vote for Greeley.
- There is spit among the demo-
Gratis of Georgia. OF the 81 democrat
ic papers of that State, IA refuse to sup
port Greeley.
"A vote on the Michigan Central
Railroad few days since stood for Grant
81, Greeley 27. The joke is, Greedy man
called for the vote.
- Greeleyism does not flourish in AL
ALBANIA. Thomas Lambert, who was one
of the Liberal Republican Vice Presi-
dents from Alabama at the Cincinnati
Convention, has renewed his allegiance
to the republican party. and declares for
Grant ana Wilson.
Senator Thurman of Ohio claims
that the democratic party doesn' aban-
don its principles in making Greeley
its standard bearer, and Greeley says he
" is as much of republican as ever. F"
There is where the laugh comes in.
A New Yorker just returned from
a Southern tour, says the secret of South
ern enthusiasm for Greeley is the conf
dent belief of the people that they will
get paid for their emancipated slaves if
he is elected. Horace, they say, is in
favor of justice being done them, and
justice they understand to be the price
of their lost chattels.
- The Newark IN. j. journal, dem
ocratic paper, pays the New York Trib-
une dubious compliment when it says
We will give the Tribune the credit
of saying that its contributions to demo-
cratic literature are equal to anything
we could do ourselves. In fact, it goes a
little ahead of US, for it pitches into the
administration with savage ferocity
more venomous than gentiemanly."
The leading democrats of New
York are not all for Greeley. Elk State
Senator Samuel Sloan of Poughkeepsie,
formerly President of the Hudson Riyer
railroad, and long leading democratic
politician of the State, has pronounced
against Greeley. Ex-senator George
Morgan of the same district. and also a
leading democrat, asserts that he will not
vote for Greeley. The Hon. E. P. More,
of Cazenovia has also declared that he
cannot support Greeley, and has joined
Grant and Wilson club of his town.

Buckingham, Hon. II. l.. Dawes of Mas

speeches. The event and sensation of
the evening, however, was two speeches
made by Hon. Charles III. Bond, a dem
ocratic State Senator, and Hon. Charles
Atwater, democratic candidate for Lieu
tenant governor at their last State cleo
ton. These two men have heretofore
been prominent men in the democratic
ranks of that State, and their detection
was unexpected and a surprise to the
democracy of that place. Mr.. Bond
said if he must vote for republican he
would vote for the genuine article, U. S.
Grant. He said further: You will
permit me as democrat to say one
thing, the country was never more pros
porous than during his administration.
Trade is prosperous everywhere. Labor
commands its price. Our treasury is full.

The RECENT WATER-SPoUT IN COL
oRADo.-The Denver News gives the
particulars of the remarkable water
spout near Golden, Col. on the 14th inst,
reported by telegraph, by which two
girls were drowned. 1t says:
People residing in the vicinity re-
port having seen. just above the higher
mountains, numerous dense clouds, from
which a conical pillar resembling con-
densed vapor was seen to descend, and
almost simultaneously deafening peal
of thunder was heard. Mr.. Jack Vir-
den, wife, and his sister, and Miss Blood
daughter of LymanC. Blood, all of whom
resided some five or six miles up the canon
had been to Golden, and were returning
home in double carriage, when the
peal of thunder came and the water.
spout dispersed.
Presently a violent commotion, with
confusion of sounds, like the tumult of
the elements, was heard high up in the
mountains. Then came a tremendous
torrent of water, bearing trees and boul-
ders, and calculated to astonish and ter
rify by its magnitude, force and violence.
The horses, seeing that they we're to
be sacrificed to this prodigious volume,
took fright, and shying to one side, upset
the carriage, and all occupants were
pitched into the bottom of the gulch.
In an instant, as it were, and before they
could recover their feet, the wave, with
a perpendicular breast of ten or twelve
feet, was upon them, and licked them up
like the sands of the gulch. Mrs. Virden
chung to her husband, and he, by mi
raculous chance, got hold of limb, and
held fast until the food subsidei. The
poor girls-Misses Blood and Virden.
aged respectively II and IA years-were
less fortunate. They were carried down
by the mighty torrent to an appalling
death.
1t is matter of history that water
spout equally prodigious descended upon
Guy Hill few years ago, and flooded a
stage coach containing Generals Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan, though they were
far enough removed to escape disaster.

The Liberal republican" State con-
vention which was to have been held at
Burlington on the Oath of this month,
has been postponed to Wednesday the
31st of this month, to accommodate the
democracy who couldn't get ready for
the nuptiaIs so soon. AT that time they
promise to be on hand and the wedding
may be expected. P. S. Since the fore
going was written the democracy have
given notice that they could not be ready
for the ceremony on the 31st inst, and
accordingly it has been again postponed
to Thursday the first day of August.

-Close-cut hair was the cause of the
death of John Eastwood's coachman. in
Belleville, N. j. While bathing he was
seized with cramps, and his comrade
failed to rescue him, because he could
not obtain hold.
Two suitors for lady's hand, in
Kansas City, not being able to settle the
case by arbitration, repaired to a grave

herself was present and drove away with
the one whom the referee declared the
winning man.

CAUTION TO BATHERs.-There seems
to be little avail in cautioning bathers.
Every day adds to the list of those who
pay for their neglect and carelessness
with their lives. The Royal Humane
Society of England have issued the fol-
lowing directions, which all bathers would
do well to commit to memory:
"Avoid bathing within two hours af-
ter meal. Avoid bathing when ex-
hausted by fatigue or from any other
cause. Avoid bathing when the body is
cooling from perspiration but battle
when the body is warm, provided no time
is lost in getting into the water. Avoid
chilling the body by sitting or standing
naked on the banks or in boats, after
having been in the water. Avoid remain
ing too long in the water, but leave it
Immediately when there is the slightest
feeling Of chilliDess. Avoid bathing al
together if after having been short time
in the water, there is sense of chilli.
ness with numbness of the hands and
feet. The vigorous and strong may
battle early in the morning on an empty
stomach. but the young and those who
are weak had better battle two hours af.
ter meal; the best time for such is from
two to three hours after breakfast. Those
who are subject to attacks of giddiness
and faintness, and those who suffer from
palpitation and other sense of discom-
fort at the heart, should not battle with
out first consulting their medical advis-
err"

DECLARES FOR GRANT.-The sterling
French-Canadian paper, LAvenir Ma
tional, published at St. Aibans and hay-
ing national circulation among this
class of our population, is outspoken for
Grant, and Mr.. Houde, the accom- plish-
ed editor, gives many and cogent rea-
sons for the views he takes. So far as
our knowledge goes nearly all the Cana
dian French have decided preference
for Grant over Greeley and as this pa
per is influential with them, we are pleas
ed that it takes SO intelligent view of
the situation.-&. Adams Messenger.

A CoLoREp HERO. -" Heroes" re-
marks the Philadelphia Press, are not
born very often in these prosaic modern
times, but every now and then case oc-
ours, which proves that the race is not
extinct" and such case it proceeds to
describe as follows:
"On Thursday last, at Spring Mills,
on the Philadelphia, Germantown and
Norristown Railroad. Philip Gould, col.
ored man, came to Spring Mills on that
day to attend the picnic of company Of
colored soldiers from Camden, and while
standing near the railway saw, just as
the Reading express was rounding a
curve and dashing down upon them with
frightful speed, five ladies standing upon
the track. With wonderful presence Of
mind and with utter disregard for hi
own safety, he violently pushed them al
over the edge of slight embankment
at the foot of which they were in perfec
safety, but in safety attained only at tn
cost of their preserver's life. Gould waI
struck by the engine, tossed over tn,
smoke.stack and fell on the tender, from
where he fell to the ground, horribl,
mangled and quite dead. Never did tru
err hero die more heroic death than die
Gould ;.tfor while the majority of mel
thus classed have been heroes whose fam,
rested on the numbers of their fellow
beings whom they have caused to b.
slain, his fame was of far nobler kind
for he was hero who died to save"

The TIDE. Referring to the presence
at the republican meeting at New Ha-
ven Thursday evening of two prominent
democrats, the Hon. Thomas H. Bond
and the Hon. Charles Atwater, the Hart
ford (Ct.) Courant says:
"The tidal wave of which our dem
ocratic friends so often speak, seems to
be setting toward President Grant Just
now. A stable government, business
prosperity, protection to all citizens at
home and abroad, are among the bless
ings of the present administration, and
are promised by its continuance. And
these will not be exchanged for the un-
certainties which are involved in the
success of the Greeley and Brown Dem
argain-and-sale ticket"

What Ii Horace Greeley had been
Elected President in 1860?

If the cotton States shall be salts
fed that they can do better out of the
Union than in it, we insist on letting
them go in peace. The right to secede
may be revolutionary one, but it exists
nevertheless. We must ever
resist the right of any State to remain
in the Union and nullify or defy the
laws thereof. To withdraw from the
Union is quite another matter; whenev-
er considerable section of our Union
shall deliberately resolve to go out, we
shall resist all coercive measures design
ed to keep it in. We hope never to live
in republic whereof one section is PIN
ned to another by bayoneis. "-Ne,c
York Tribune, Non. 8, 1860.
If the cotton States unitedly and
earnestly wish to withdraw peaceably
from the Union, we think they should
and should be allowed to do so. Any
attempt to compel them by force to re.
main would be contrary to the princi-
Piles enunciated in the immortal Declar-
alton of Independence, contrary to the
fundamental ideas on which human lib.
erty is based. "-Nesu York Tribune, Nor.
26, 1860.
If it (the Declaration of Independ
ence) justified the secession from the Brit
ish Empire of three millions of colonists
in 1776, We do not see why il would not
justify the secession of five millions of
southerners from the Union in 1851
