SPIRIT OF TIE PRESS.

Tie Springfield Republican betakes itself to
syIogism with this unanswerable result "The Custom
house is now the Republican party in New-York City
But Mr. Thomas Murphy Is tne custom nous, mere
New-HOrk city"
The Liberal journals throughout this State
are fun Of the confidence OF victory From all parts
they send out words Of cheer claiming that no mach
nations of the Administration trio-Twced, Murphy,
and O'Brien-can possibly Wrest the victory nom the
Reform banners.
The Hartford C0uraat devOtes much space to
n grotesoue argument in favor Of sticking dead
issues IL does not believe forgetting anything, and
predicts that hundred years hence the Rebellion Will DC
az live an issue as ever III IT u not II cer3H WIZ W
through fault OF the Grant organs to make u So.
In an editorial upon the Liberal prospects
in Kentucky The Louisville Courisi-JOurlaL predicts
that Greeley will carry the State by hardly less than
$4,000 majority" 1t refuses to estimate the Bourbon
strength at any considerable ugare, because u mates
to think there many 500 natuDOfn idlot5
in the commonwealth, ana ices sure there arc Dot
many rogues.
The Grant organs are undoubtedly trying
70 manufacture some excuse for enforcing some more
KuKlux legislation upon the South, and thus prevent
the popular vote for Greeley. The Boston Journal has
this unhushing Misrepresentation about the matter
We fear that the state OF things at the South in con-
Coahonist leaders is not fully understood here at fhe
North For months the Administration has been az
vised Of the revival of KuKux operations, aud Of the
and rapid extension Of new secret political organ
times more effectively than the Ku-Kux conspiracy"
In an able editorial upon the silly ISLANDERS
and fasehoods put forth by the Grant concern
ing the danger of Greeleys election restoring Democrats
10 power, that stanch Democratic paper, The NeCark
o. j. Journal. says; Gas for us, who are Democrats
n,re and simple we never dreamed OF having more with
Mr. Greeley than Cabinet composed Of statesmen
REGARDLESS Of their past political faith, and set OF Off
ce selected fitness and not for Their previous
Marty Affiliations. All asked, and all we now
ask is that. If elected, Mr. GTeeleys pocy win regard
10 aDpOiutments will hiuge on the cardinal question 10
SEEKERS Are you fit and honest and not what
are your politics, and what did you do for my cleo
tiOnP"
The Grant people Of New-Jersey must be
made Of remarkably doclle stuff If they can bear
calmly this insult TO their ntelects from their leading
organ The Netoark Advertiser: Tho possible conso-
Guences Of Greeeys election reactiOnary domon-
stration within the Democratic party which would sac
rnce the results of the war, except the abolition Of
Slavery repeal the Fifteenth Amendment repudate the
national debt establish free trade demOraze tho ma
tiopal finances cripple beyond repair for score OF
wears at least, American industry, undo the Work OF
Education being established in the Southern states,
Mace John T. Hoffman, Thomas A. Hendricks, Allen G
'TburmaD. or some other great advocate az States
Tiphtism I'm the Presidential chair and restore JciL
DAVIS and III. Stephens To the United States
Senate" New-Jersey indeed deserves 10 DC Gii.ea =
Foreign country If her citizens relish such silly twad
die s s why doesn't The Advertiser assert that Greeley
was once stakeholder is now free lover ana in aNOf
of introducing smallpox into the public schools III Ger
family would DO absurd than the above lnagHd-
tive flight.
