POLITICAL CLIPPINGS

The Springfield Republican is forced
to admit that as whole the neg1o vote
of the South will be counted solidly
against Greeley.
Senator Sumner has sadly miscalcula-
ted both his own strength and that of the
current which he has undertaken to stem,
as he will find to his cost.
The Tribune has already got oft Sum-
ner's trade for general circulation. The
club rates it offers are somewhat compli-
Gated, but as near as we can make them
out they are like this Single copy, one
cent; fifty copies, half cent; one hun
dred copies. for nothing, any one order
ing one thousand couples will be present
ed with gold pen and a lovely picture
of Horace Greeley. Blow the expense
we Il take one.
The Boston correspondent of the
Springfield Republican says: "There is
growing feeling here that the Greeley
movement in the country he's ''gone up, "
and will soon go down. The rumored de
lection of Senators Schurz and Trumbull
and the persistent opposition of many
Democrats to Mr.. Greeley, is the occa-
sion Of this feeling, which is "in the air"
more than in the actual circumstances Of
the political situation. Mr.. Sumner S
speech is not viewed as giving Mr.. Gree
ley any aid or comfort, and the small
number of Greeley Republicans in this
part of the world has grown no larger
within the past week."
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1872-06-13

General Grant cannot govern this coun
try he merely expressed his own aris
tocratie sentiment, as opposed to that
of the people and the theory of our gov
ernment, which is, that the people 'gov-
ern' and the President only executes
the laws. 1t matters little however, to
the country whether Mr.. Sumner has
added to his SANDER of the living mis-
representation of the dead. He says he
is ''no mans man." Equally the people
we're not Mr. Stanton's ''men." nor are
they Mr.. Sumner meu. They did not
require to be told by Mr.. Stanton, nor
any other man. whether it was for them
to support General Grant in 1868. They
do nor require to be told by Mr.. Sumner
now. They judged for themselves then
and they will with equal confidence and
assurance, judge for themselves now.

Faithfully and regretfully yours,
VIM. Lloyd Garrison.
To Hon. Charles Sumner.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean referring to
Summers speech says Aud what is the
speech itself2 An exhibition of
supreme egotism; a mass of spiteful
assertion unsupported by evidence or
argument; a collection of ISLANDERS,
whose falsity is only equaled by their
absurdity. He charges the President
with being "a quarreier,'' and in his
specifications accurately describes char
acter which notoriously fits his own
Senatorial career He Tansacks history
referring to Gustavns Adolphus, Fred
erick the Great and Wellington as fail
ures in civil life, and. with lconlne
shake of his head, asks, "Is Grant great
er than they q He insults the very
spirit and essence of our political theory
in the endeavor to belittle President
Grant by sneeringly allnding to bis for
merly pursuit as tanner forgetting that
not only the greatest and best men of
our history. but of all history, have risen
from the obscurity of the humble walks
of life. He drags int5 his fierce political
harangue, distinguished for malice, jeal-
ousy, and vindictive spite the death-bc
scene of Edward NJ. Stanton and held
him UP to the Senate as slanderer
er and defsmer of the President In
reporting Secretary Stanton as sayin g

nursed by them. [ advise any one who
means to vote for him to find out what
agreements have been made by Mr. Gree
ley's friends with JEFF Davis and his staff
and patronage. [ am perfectly certain
that there is distinct mutual under

the White House, jeff Davis will be

shall advise every southern loyalist to
load the revolvers that Grants arrest of

negroes live in squads of fifty, whom no
coward will dare to shoot down, aud

men will be shot, and no black will own

knows the fact.
As for Adams, [ do not fear him

makes such union possible. He is a
democrat, but afraid to confess his creed

him to lead it, he will lead it to its grave

OUR RESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.

The unparalleled popularity and wisdom
Of action of the Republican nominations
at Philadelphia, is best proven by the
unanimitv of the delegates there assem-
bled and by the character of the two
men selected.
President Grant has during his present
ADMINISTRATION fully proven the sincerl-
ty of his professions. He has ever sub
mitted his personal preferences to the
will of the people; he has not only con-
quered the rebellion, but faithfully re-
paired the damages and healed the sores
at home and abroad which inevitably fol-
lowed that disastrous conflict through
out his administration our country has
enjoyed peace and prosperity our fnan-
cial condition is, owing to his rapid re-
duction of our public debt and strict
economy and integrity, gaining the trust
aud admiration of the civilized world,
His unopposed denomination and the
choice of Henry Wilson as Vice Presi-
dent will be cheered by every true lover
of his country throughout the length and
breadth of this vast Republic, and will
be ratified by its grateful people at the
next November election by an even
larger majority than endorsed the first
nomination of our brave and noble Presi-

Wendell Phillips Oh Greeley.

Our readers need not be told that Mr
Phillips when he has anything to utter
always speaks to the point, and in Ian
guage not easily misunderstood. He
never appears at loss for words to con-
yey his meaning. As instance of this
may be produced the following letter,
recently addressed to friend;
You know that am neither repub.
lican nor Grant man. Whom | shall
vote for, or whether I shall vote at all,
do not know. But certainly, as against
Greeley, am for Grant. We have had
one Andy johnson; I will not run the
risk of getting another in Horace Gree
ly. I want man with some decided prin-
ciples Greeley never had any. Besides
| consider Greeley secession candidate.
