A correspondent writes to the
New York Times from Cleveland:
awe shall give an old-fashioned
majority for Grant in Ohio, and 1
do not believe Greeley will carry a
State west of us. Joseph W. Car
son, Chairman of the Democratic
Central Committee, has just re-
nounced the Greeley party and
come out for Grant. The old Dem
ocratic German paper has hoisted
Grant. Does this look as though
we would not get the German
votes ?"

Fred. Douglass paper notices
Summers letter briefly, saying: "It
is written in the interest of Horace
Greeley. 1t comes upon US at a
time when the professions of favor
ing equal rights, made by the party
nominating Horace Greeley, are be-
ing proven false pretense in Savan-
nah, Georgia, by the shooting of COL
ored people for trying to exercise
their rights to ride in the street cars
of that city. This specimen of Lib
eral Republicanism is not well cal
culated to encourage colored men to
cast their lot with the supporters of
Greeley, whose journal encourages
such outrages by apologizing for
them"

A PaIDabIe Hit.

In his Portland speech, Mr.. Gree
ley said: 81 never yet heard of a
man who invited his neighbors to
raise house, who proceeded to
kick them out of it as soon as the
roof was fairly over his head" The
clubbists for the New York Tribune
who made their annual subscriptions
in December and January last, un-
der the assurance of the agent that
it would continue to be a Protec-
zionist and Republican journal, have
heard of such a man. They think
the kicking out has been mighty
unceremonious, and Mr.. Greeley
will hear from them about election
time, if not sooner Industrial

"A Democratic national triumph
means a restoration to power of
those who deserted their seats in
Congress and their places under the
last Democratic President to plunge
the country into the Red sea OF se-
cession and rebellion. Though you
paint an inch thick, to this complex
ion you must come at last. The
brain, the heart, the soul of the pres.
ent Democratic party is the rebel ell
ement at the South, with its North
ern allies and sympathizers. ."-[Hor.

Business men throughout the
country are not disposed to favor
the so-called Liberal ticket. Such is
the dread of anything that may
strengthen Mr.. Greeley's waning
chances of election, that in the State
of Pennsylvania a Republican State
ticket, which is far from being ac-
ceptable, and which appeared sure
of defeat before Mr.. Greeley's nomi-
nation at Baltimore, seems now Ger
tain of success. The people of that
State will do nothing that can be
claimed as a Greeley triumph.

No RIGHT TO CoMPLAIN.-Mr.
Greeley complains of severe treat
ment at the hands of his former
political friends. He has no right
to complain, for they are doing just
what he did when Andrew johnson,
Doolittle, and Carl Schurz went ov~
or to the enemy. He handled them
without gloves, and treated them to
his choicest adjectives. Now that
he has followed them he must not
blame others for holding him up as
he held up the renegades of the past.

Soldiers, Remember This !

81 will never forget" said Gen.
Garfield in recent speech, "the SOL
diers voting in the Ohio regiments
after the battle of Chickamauga.
$500 loyal Ohio voters lay dead in
the field. Their place was filed by
$500 stay-at-home Democrats. The
ballot boxes were taken to the hos.
pital, where thousands lay wounded.
A ballot for Vallandingham and
one for Johnny Brough lay before
each man. A dying soldier picked
up one for Brough, and as he lay in
the box said, 'I'll take my last shot
at the rebellion We carried him
and scores of others out to the
trenches that night. Who can for
get such a scene? Yet it seems as
if these events have left the memo
ry of our Greeley friends. There is
only one argument to the Democrats
we fought the rebellion-you
fought u.s. Brooklyn Union.

John NJ. Langston, the orator, was the
first colored man ever received as a
guest at the Burnet House, Cincinnati.
Brick POmeroy draws the following
pen picture of the Democratic party ::
"Look at the Democrats of the United
States. A pack of fools A congrega-
ton of towards under the lead of
thieves! Three million men afraid to
move! An army of men without lead
era mob without head-s host with
out a name or an idea! Where are the
captains, the generals, the leaders, the
organizers of the party? Asleep, drunk,
stealing, or making bargains with polit-
ical enemies !"

"The brain, the heart, the soul of
the present Democratic party is the
rebel element at the South, with its
Northern allies and sympathizers. 1t
is rebel at the core to-day. 1t would
come into power with the hate, the
chagrin, the wrath, the modification
of ten bitter years to impel and
guide its steps. What
ever chastisement may be deserved
by cur national sins, we must hope
that this disgrace and humiliation
will be spared us."-[Horace Gree

When Horace Greeley declared
that he hoped the time would come
when the soldier who fought with
Lee and Johntson will occupy as
proud a position in the hearts of the
people as the soldier who fought
with Sherman, he forfeited all claims
to the support and esteem Of the
great body of men who maintained
the nation's honor.

Select Miscellany.
CLASP HANDS ACROSS THE
BLOODY CHASM."

Clasp hands across the bloody chasml
Blot out the record of the past;
Nolouk of retrospection cast;
Forget Nations fearful spasm,
When Freedom, painting through the land,
Was stricken by assassin hand;
Clasp hands across the bloody chsEml
Forget that through that fierce embroII
The land with blood was overhOwn;
RebsIlIons king. IRON bloody throne,
Sent forth his sdicts to despoil,
In ssnguinary letters writ,
With pen envenomed from the pit
Forget If ye would not recoil.
Clasp hands, but look not downward, pray,
Into the dismal gulf below,
That fiery, bilIowy food Of woe;
Turn from the appalling sight away;
Twill brain distract and vision dAzs,
The glamour of those lurid raysI
Clasp hands, but look not downward, pray.
Not downward. II re would not ken
The Cerberus Of that bloody tide,
With hundred jaws distended wide
The monster Treason in his den;
The horror might your hold unclSsp,
Trust not the hrmress Of your grasp,
Clasp hands with eyes aVerted, then.
The black lag Of trsitorous foe
Floats darkly down the dread sbysSi
The eye bent chasmward cannot miss
It's blood-stained folds no Lethean flow
Can wash its hell-dyed colors out;
The echoes Of a iendish shout
hall vihrafa in fba danfh. haloU
Should son bereft, or childless sire,
As friend gives greeting unto friend,
His hand across this chasm extend,
With q fOrgiving hearts desire,
Let him of earthwsrd glance beware,
There's precious iife-bloo flowing there,
Feeding that hsrcs Tartzrsan DIRE.
Clasp hands, but, prithee. without fail,
First close the avenues Uf sound;
For, issuing from that yswning ground,
Comes up the piteous, ck'ning wall
OF mothers oomfortless with grief,
OF children crying for relief,
OF prisOn-starved thousands ghastly pale.
Clasp hands, but first exact plight
As solemn the vow Of Heaven;
Be sure the disinfsctiug leaven
OF repentant heart has quite
Infused the treason, and the blood
Cleansed as with purifying food;
Assured, clasp hands with heart and might.

The Albany, N. Y. Journal re-
CARDS the division of parties as sharp
and unmistakable. "If we look to
personal fitness" it says, "we find
Grant the superior of GEoOIoy- If
we look for the assurance of steady
and prudent administration, we find
it in Grant and not in Greeley. If
we look to the elements which con-
stitute their support and shape the
tendency of their rule, we find be-
hind Grant those which have saved
the country, and behind Greeley
those which have sought to destroy
it."

Worthington, Green county, Indi-

was addressed by Senator Morton

Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips
aud Gerritt Smith can justly lay
claim to the honor of having been
the first in the country to wage bat
tie with slavery; these men now all
oppose the mongrel party, the pos

Democratic victory, is looked upon
as a great misfortune to the country,
and especially to the colored race.

President Grant is happy. Since
the organization of the Greeley par

no small boon to get rid, all at once,
of the hungry horde who have gone
over to Greeley.

Every man knows there is no
sincerity in the coalition of Greeley
with red hot traitors, that ali this
pretended amity is either the sacri-

wholly insincere, and that the coun.

ocrats and Republicans, will you en-
dorse such shameless selI-out, such
an open abandonment of principle
for place?
