ORLEANS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER. 20 1872.

few votes over 1000. Now, when we re
member that the MerrimOn ticket was non
mated before the Cincinnati convention as
sembled, really before the Liberal move
ment got on its great legs, it is not at al
surprising that North Carolina was clos
enough to permit the Washington rings t,
count in their gubernat0rial candidate l
seems to me that the old Tar State is SAT-
and certain for the philosopher The Lib
eral Republicans will come TO the rescue il
November and the electoral vote viii bt
rightly and patriotically given,
Perhaps Of all the States which can be
set down in a doubtful column Pennsylva
Gia IS the most important. She casts
tweDty-nine electoral votes, and is worth
looking after.
General Hartranft is the Grant candidate
for Governor. He is said by Colonel John
w. Forney to be the Cameron ring candi
date-the representative OF the corruption
lists. l do not express my own opinion
| when l say he is Cameron's c0rruptionist.
1t is the Forney's Press opinion. But they
| should know what they are'talling about.
| They are all of the same family; and inqi-
| viduals OF the same family are expected to
know more of each other than outsiders.
| The Philadelphia Press says Hartrantt
must and will be defeated. Set that down
as a fact Defeat Hartranft by 10000 or
| 10000 in October and it will be laughable
! to suppose that Grant can Garry that State
| a month after. The moral effect Of Senator
! Buckalew's election will guarantee us that
| grand old Keystone commonwealth in No
yember. 1t is perfectly ridiculous to think
| Of Pennsylvania going for Grant.
| The last of the list is Rhode Island. ATr.
| Greeley's clam-bale- trip through Little
| Rhody settled that Job It has been popu-
! larly supposed that the Spragues lead that
! State to political victory.
Heretofore (sinoe 1861, at least William
| Sprague has been on the side of the Repub-
lican party, and his brother, Amasa
| Sprague, has stood firm By tho DemOc-
| racy Now these two men of vast wealth
| and power are. pulling valiantly at the
same swingle-tree, and their glorious song
is
Hurrah weve-woni it CALAMITY Carl schurz has
pierced their left;
bereft.
The CARPET knights are sorely pressed. and riding
for the rear
Full well they know their borrowed plumes they
no longer wear
The mailed bandtti of the South before our spears
And troops Of presidential kin are fleeing through
the town.
Colfax lies :ow with Robeson Ben Butler under
meath;
The trGs}ty blade of Horace in their hearts has
And ike an angry grizzly, Fish Icks his wounded
While victory is perching on the hat Of Chappa,
qua
It the Spragues can sing that song to the
tens OF thousands of men and women in
their employ in Rhode Island, can we not
count it among our States certain fog Gree
ley?
The Blanton Duncan fasco at louisville
made an effort to impress the country with
the idea that cid Kentucky would not sup
port Horace Greeley. The enthusiasm for
Greeley there is oVerW hclmiDgo Men and
women all over the State vie with each
other in their expressions of personal ad
mration. I received a day or two ago
private letter from wide-awahe- and
lovely young lady Of Versailles, the county
capital OF one of the richest of the Blue
Grass region counties, and Miss Smith
writes as follows:
''Y on don t know the amount Of Greeley
ishnees there is down here or you might be
induced tn cOme in this directions | have
never heard of any one person so highly
eulogized as Atr. Greeley lie must be a
very excellent mano The greatest honor
We can confer upon the gentleman is to call
our inimitabIc canary 'Horace.' AS there
is no one one in our family to vote, we Will
let little Horace chirp few praises"
That indicates the social and personal
feeling which is exelting itself for honest
old H0raceo The people love and adore
him, Aud when the masses OF the people
set their heart on a man. no power,
whether OF gold Or sanguinary faInes can
0Yarnatch the movement
Republicans are often told that it is
simply going over to the Democracy to vote
for Greeley. Is il? Th3n what SET Of
fools We have made Of ourselves in the past
decade For ins tance, We have sung pGans
to onr leaders as we should do, and among
those chiefs who have by their great sers
j. ,sf,y,L
name dozen or So OF public men who have
here t0fore been cur Republican champions |
and are now vehement advocates of Horace
Greeley. Who are these men! Let lis
name them:
l. Galusha A Grow. He was our Repub- |
lican Speaker Of tho House of Representa-
tives at Washington some years ago.
?. General Nathaniel ?. Banks. He was |
also Speaker of our congressional house. !
and did some very good military service id |
our late war. He is now chairman Of the |
Committee on Foreign Affairs in the House. |
3. Charles Sumner Is it necessary that |
I say word about Sumner? His biography |
is d household word on every ybody,s lips.
L. Lyman Trumbull. Senator Truinbuil |
is the father OF the grand law on civil rights. |
That alone should be the grandest colnpli- |
ment which could be paid him. He stood |
up in the United States Senate and de- !
Tended impartial justice when Senator Nor !
ton was talking against colored suffrage at |
Richmond, Indiana.
s. Governor Austin Blair, This gentle |
man was Governor Of Michigan a few years |
ago; and then his constituents demanded |
his services in Congress. He now gives his I
heart aud soul to the Greeley movement.
g. General John +. Farnsworth. For |
years General Farnsworth has represented |
one of the strongest Republican districts of |
Illinois in Congress. Again and again the |
people have elected him. and now his voice !
is raised for Horace.
Z. Senator William Sprague He is well |
known, and that settles Little Rhody.
s. General Carl Schurz. 4 man of ac-
knowledged intellect and profound states
His eloquent voice, once SO po-
tent for the regular Republican ticket, is
now raised with peculiar power for the sage
Of Chappaqua.
8. George W. Julian. Everybody knows
that Mr.. Julian was one of the fathers of
the Republican party-an incorruptible
a congressman whose services
were Of the highest order, who was indus
trious, faithful and able. He is working
like hero for Horace Greeley.
10, Then there is John Hickman, who
the Nebraska bill, which carried slavery
INTO free territory. Mr.. Hickman gives a
vigorous support to- Horace Greeley.
H. General John NJ. Palmer, who was
The popular commander of the Fourteenth
Army Corps, is now Governor of Illinois,
md gives all his intellectual strength to 1
5he cause of Greeley and Brown.
p. And when we mention, as our dozenth
IF the list, the names Of Chief Justice
Chase and Associate Justice Day as warm
of Greeley, only intimate how
