PETROLEUM v. Nasty,
(Which wuz postmaster.)

The special correspondent of The
Missouri Democrat has the following
to say in spesking Of the assembling oi
the Baltimore Convention:
"The same men who dug up the
street boulders to throw at United
States troops In 1861 are already or
ganized into Greeley clubs, and have
arranged for several big demonstra-
tons in favor Of the nominee, with
Ycrger, the assassin Of Col. Crane, al
their head. Ycrgcr is the local lion OF
the place thus far. He is the most con-
spicnous man 1t all tho hotels, and The
first to whom the stranger is invariably
introduced. Immediately after the in
PRODUCTION he proceeds to tell of wi hat
he calls the Mississippi difficulty, and
he relates his own shame in a way
which wins the applause of the specta-
tors. 1t is well for him that Wilkes
Booth is not here If he were Mr.. YER
ger would only be star of the second
magnitude. 1t is only in the absence
Of greater atrocity that his conduct
receives first-ciass consideration. Some
of the local politicians attempt to dis
parage Ycrgcr, and to say that he is
not representative Democrat, and
that Baltimore is ashamed ofhim, but
they do not lessen his popularity. lie
is the Zig gun of the day, and he boasts
that he publishes the soUndest Greeley
organlin Baltimore, which is true.v

The opponents Of Grants admins
tration are moving heaven and earth
to overthrow it. The worst element
of the South, the scum of the North,
the regulators, the disorganizers, the
the moral jackeals, who prey on grave
yards and feed fat on SANDER, false
hood, and corruption, are received
with open arms, into the new party,
that has but one motto on its banners,
Anything to beat Grant" Keep il
up, gentlemen! The honest millions
have met the same crowd before, and
the old result will be duplicated in
November next. The grand old party
of freedom, whose banners are I'M
stained; whose ranks arc filled with
honest patriots, whose triumphal
march is the march of justice and
civilization, will win victory, under
its trusted leader, over which the
friends of freedom everywhere will
rejoice. -tt

Three plans are in vogue as to the
Inanner in which the Baltimore Con-
vention shall swallow Greeley. One
is the Missouri Republicans postum
dodge viz. to make no nomination
direct, but indorse the Cincinnati plat
form, another i. TO pass a resolution
recommending Democrats to support
Greeley, and the third is to nominate
Greeley by two thirds vote, formal
~ in Convention. We think Greeley
sufficiently. CREASED and that the De-
mocracy might as well make him a
regular Democratic nominee as to 60

The Baltimore Convention chose a.
permanent chairman, the Andy John
son renegade, James r. Doolittle, Of
Wisconsin. This man Doolittle, with
Randall also of Wisconsin, were the
particular and chief fnglemen for A.
johnson in his raid with democracy
four years ago at Philadelphia, to
swamp the Republican party. Salmon
p. Chase, was also in this treachery,
and sought the Democratic nomina.
tion, but democracy was not then ready
to disband, and they nominated Soy.
mour and Blair. Now Greeley finds
Barkis Democracy willing to ACT
the hypocrite to any extent, and go he
goes back on life time record, for O
chance to be President and embraces
the men he hates, and they return the
compliment. The patriotism of this
country will consign Greeley, as it did
Doolittlc and Chase, to disgrace and
infamy.

The Missouri Democrat says: "With
commendablc and characteristic ener-
gy the Germans of st, Louis are en-
tering the Presidential canvass and be-
ginning the work of organization. A
German Republican club has already
been formed in the First Ward, and
this good beginning is to be followed
by similar organizations in other
wards. The Greeley Igais fdtuus is
not sufficiently attractive to induce
the honest right-thinking Germans to
follow Mr.. Schurz into the ditch Of
Democracy"

The Baltimore Eceaing Journal is
the chief striker and blower for Horace
Greeley in Baltimore, Md. This paper
is edited by the notorious Col. E. M.
Yergcr, who in cold blood murdered
Col. Crane, of Ohio, in the State of
Mississippi some years ago, and who
was tried by court martial and con-
victed, but got off through the techni-
calities Of the law.
.. =. A more arrant rebel and villain than
this same Ycrgcr does not now enjoy
the boon Of liberty in this country. He
is a fitting supporter of this grand
swindle between democracy and Hor-
ace Greeley, to turn the government
over into the hands of the democracy.

Robert Toombs with unbridled eff
frontery under the banner Of dcmoc-
racy of which he was and is stiil,
bright and shining light once boldly
declared in the halls Of Congress that
he "would yet call the roll ofhis slaves

contrary to-day, the slaveocratic rebel
democracy is called in Ford's Theatre,
Baltimore, and cunningly STOPPING to
conquer they bow their nccks, that old
Horace Greeley to whom for twenty
years they ascribed their chief woes,
might set his foot upon them. How
have the mighty fallen. Bold, arro-
giant, naughty and tyranical. the dem
ocratic party upheld American slavery
and crushed with an iron blood-thirsty
rule, all aspirations for freedom in the
millions of the cnslavened. The great
sin in effecting its cure brought about
the rebellion, and democracy fought
and sympathized with the south, but
they were whipped. Next they fought
the welfare of the nation in the advoca-
cy Of reputation and kindred meas
ures, and again and again they ignobly
failed.
Now baited with the Presidency,
they have caught the excentric, unsta-
bic, old Abolishionist Greeley, and
strike under false colors for the same
end as fold, viz: to place the govern
meut in the hands of its would be as

The lines are now defined. Such a
Waterloo defeat awaits democracy in
this new role as shall even eclipse, if
possible, that Of Appomattox.

d. Gratz Brown had an interview.
while in this city yesterday, with
Horace Greeley. Brown goes TO New
Haven, to attend the College class
meeting and returns here on Thurs
day. Greeley was much pleased last
evening at the proceedings at Balti-
more. Dispatches from Baltimore
says, that the contest for the chairman
ship Of the Democratic National Exc
cutive Committee lies between
Augustus Schcll, of New York, and G.
HI. Mccormick, of Chicago. 1t is
generally conceded that the personel
of the delegates surpasses that of any
previous, Democratic, Convention.
The South made the best show, having
imposing and handsome looking gem
tlemen Of advanced years. A NUM-
bcr of Liberal Republicans including
Mcclure, TiltOn, COchrane, Horace
White, Grosvenor and John Dcfrecs,
had seats on the platform. They ap-
peared to be more popular than even
the most eminent Democrats. The
mention by August Belmont, Of the
name of Greeley in his speech drew
forth outbursts applause not excelled
at any of the political Conventions Of
the year. Doolittle's selection for
chairman was . final blow to tho
straight out Democrats.
The meeting of the anti Greeley
Democrats, at Maryland Institute, had
very few participants. The parties
interested in the movement were dis
appointed at the feeble support which

The worst class of men arc selected to
administer the laws. Few attorneys

CATION to pay what they owe, and
what you had better do, is to thank
God that it is no worse, and pray that
h--ll may get its own-if honest
men cannot get theirs in this life.
You say that you are for Grant,
as between him and Greeley. I don't
see how any one having any regard
for decency, God or humanity, could
help being for Grant. And how those
hounds of Stephen A. Douglass.& Co.,
can have the face to claim Office and
