SYRACUSE, Oct. II, 1872.
After securing around the best part OF this mid
land belt Of counties, talking to all sorts of people,
from Governor Hoffman down to the vain Van
Allen, have reached two conclusions-frs that
the liberal secession from the regular republican
organization is q strong reality, and that the
strength OF the straight-out democratic movement
b IN adding deusion l have been hunting up
straiehtout democrats since left New York, and
TIE sport has yielded only five head Of game,
named respectively ]. ]. Van Allen, Chas. p. Sykes

Bitlcy. There they are just as wrote them down

Of the Globe HOTEL kindly furnished for the occa-
sion BY the Obliging Colonel Stone. Here Is how it
happened that came to run down this quarry all

to Mr.. Russell, Gurney Lapham and Mr.. Milton
Northrup, when the door was thrown open and in
walked q man In an overcoat large enough for the
late lamented Cardiff giant. He was as happy as
n he had just buried his mother-in-aw, and he evi
IDENTIFY had something to communicate-someth thing
ON his mind that would no more stay there than
tartar emetc on sick mans stomach. 1t was
THE RENOWNED VAN ALLEN,
who has taken all the Bourbons OF this State under
his capacious wing and left the rest to Blanton
Duncan. He inquired for the agent of the Associa
tea Press, that he might let the whole country
know OF the important meeting that had
been held that evening-of the momen-
rOus organization that had been eilected,
&c. Northrup looked increduous He had heard
Of no meeting, nor had anybody else in the whole
blessed town. However, finding his informant was
no other than Van Allen, he made q note OF it, dis.
covering that the mysterious meeting had been
held In the Globe Hotel. Repairing thithcr shortly
after found out that it was composed Of the five
already named and

1Or some time; but Dy bedtime it was lattened out
around the hotel In New York, no doubt, the
proceedings OF this great meeting gave heart to
the stratght-laced democracy. The only danger to
the men who engineer such meetings is that the
nud used to Oil the machinery may cook each indi-
vidual goose past recovery before the election is
over.
PIERCE AND SINGULAR BOURBON.
I met one additional straightout democrat at
HcFkimer, named Doc Williams. He was tall,
Swapping man, and when he talked he gave his
arms the same motion as the walking beam OF an
engine. There was no mistaking him for anything
else than true blue Bourbon. He spoke with
magnificent disregard of grammar and rhetorical
refinement. His talk rolled down upon his
hearers like an avalanche, overwhelming opposi-
ton and bewildering the senses. His figures OF
speech were brought in from all parts and ele-
ments Of the earth and skies, and mixed up with
mep Oo<h ,e oIyoOv
,ventonal restraint and in utter contempt for any
little scrupulous delicacy the part Of his aud
ttors It would be vain to try to give an idea Of
AOw this amazing specimen OF democracy spoke.
He would start on in Q laundering tone and with
the reckless rush Of a runaway horse.
ABUSE WITH VENGEANCE.
sACrceley is cussed old fool. Darn his old
abolition hide he ought to be hitchcd on to the
tail OF an omnibus nag and dragged across nifty
acre field OF pumpkins. I'd see him histed higher
than chicken feathers in a hurricane before he'd
get my vote. Dog gone him Pm told the internal
sucker pretends to be SO much of temperance
man that he won't allow barber to put bay rum
on his face.n
This may give faint notion OF the torrent
q this Bourbon's invect;ve. He was the most
astounding swearer ever heard, and rummaged
through the church ltanes for the choicest pro-
hnity. He was trine lighter on Grant, but he
wanted nothing to Go with none o. them, lie
believed Grant was "the greatest numbug that
ever stuck foot into shoe leather, His audience
might haye been Of his way OF thinking or the very
reverse. There were no dissenters He rode
down and over them, horse foot and dragons,
giving no quarter and sencing all objections.
