How It Goes. :

The Presidential canvass is carried for
ward with great zeal-we might almost
say with fury. It's force is all directed at
Horace Greeley. The professed organs of
Grantism and those Democratic journals
(which prefer to have Grant for President
rather than the Liberal candidate. vie
with each other in their efforts against the
philosopher of Chappaqua We have
never seen greater virulence in any Prcsl-
Dental contest
On the other hand. the supporters, of
Greeley are, not idle That staunch and
potent Democratic journal, the Brooklyn
Eagle, makes gallant and we are bound
to. say.a most effective fight in Ms behalf:
In a very striking article, the main por-
tions of which are copied in another col
un,n, ,~the Eagle contends that out. OF 62S
delegates who will form the Baltimore
Convention, at the very least 43S will at
the start vote for Greeley, giving him on
the first ballot considerably more than the
two-thirds required to settle the dispute
in his favor. This is certainly very en-
couraging view for those who really.wish
to see Grant beaten, and time will deter
mine whether this view is more sangFlne
thar L facts will justify, !. The Edgle
also argues that the nomination of Gree
ley is the only mode of holding the Demo
cratic party together. as otherwise the
whole South will break away and refuse
to Dc governed by the action of the con-
Nesl.ion.--.No doubt. also, the Irish Demo
r srats shtt Rth Ra would M tss sees sont5 Gajs n
# the majority Of the Democracy wish
to beat Grant, it is certain that they can
do it by SUPPORTING the Cincinnati nomi-
nation. Or, as the Eagle putssit, @they
can re-elect Grant by making a straight
nomination of a Democratic dummy N
Grants interest" The. question is which
OF, these courses they will determine, to
pursue. .,,,.....,-,

a Determined Front atBaltimore.
The South should prescnta united and
determined front at Baltimofe. ssShe will,
meet there strong minority from the
North who %ill demand an out and out
Democratic ticket. Ealing inStheir obsI
jcct it looks very much as if;that minori-
ty will split the Convention as was done
at the Charleston Convention in 1860.
Whatever the Southern delegates do, let
thep' move in one solid column and cast
a united vote for Southern interests.
A Democratic st. George Rending the
Dragon.
On Friday last, in the forenoon, our
community was startled and mystiied
by large, close carriage driven rapidly
through Main Street. with large and
handsome U. S. flag floating high above
it, while from within sounded heavy
strokes upon bass drum. The carriage
came suddenlyand unheralded. Its doors
were so'closeG as that the occupant could
not be seen. Great were the wonder and
speculation along our streets, over this
sudden and apparently misunderstanding
performance. The general opinion was,
of course, that some wretched Radical
emissrv had arrived among us to run
the poornegroesorazy. But not sou The
carriage after driving to the bottom. OF
Main Street, turned and drove up again
to the front of the Court House. And
hereupon descended from it the eSt. George
of the; Democratic party Of South Caroli-
na-E F. Stokes, Esq. of Greenville-
who has girded his loins to fight the
Dragon, single-handed and alone. In
fact two dragops-the vile SCORPION of
Grant Radicaiisn and the amiahle and
useful reptile Of Liberal Republidan{sm.
But let no one imagine We design TO
speak lightly Of Mr.. Stokes. Weknowl
him and respect him highly, and God
knows We earnestly wish we could all
afford to listen to his advice. He is a
Democrat, pure, anshaken, untemifed,
mseduced, undefiled. He addressed %
MIXED and rather slim audience AT night;
and then, assuming again the banner and
drumr departed from out these coasts.
Verify. an itinerant Democratic ST.
George!

The Methodist Episcopal Church North.

gates Alegislating for the interest of the
almost $boundIsss fields of Northern
Methodisln. Such talking; such harz
arguing, such snarling, such contempt
ofparliamentary rules, was'never known
before. But as we have said above, they
are fearfully wealthy and powerful; and
therefore they can harangue and snarl
TO their hearts content. They elected
and consecrated eight now bishops, ina
king thirteen in all. of the Northern
Church. They also uttered a pronuncia.
mento-or som ething equaltoit-against
Masonry and other secret organizations.
And they gravely warned all editors and
publishers Of Church papers to, be done
with quack doctors and patentmedicines.
So Buchu and Koskoo are, to be sealed
mysteriesto Northern Methoaists. They
quarreled .fercely over. their Book Con
cern, and their most promGiiFqent Giq repre-
sentatives did not scruple to call each
other thieves, liars, stock-jobbe,'s and
oil-specuIators. There was: s:considerable
talk. abont electing two or threeaiegrocs
among tle new bishops, but, q tremen-
dous majority snorted with. indignation
at the BARE idea, and kicked the whole
project entirely out of sight or hearing ing
