PENNSYLVANIA LIBERALS IN LINE.

TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNsYLvANA:-
The issues involved in the pending political
contest are now clearly defined and the lines
distinctly drawn. Despite the efforts OF those
who could not or would not see and under
stand, the great uprising Of the people In behalf
OF selfgovernment and reform has healed the
lingering arrangements OF civil war, obliterated
sectional differences and elfaced party lines In
its onward sweep. Political prejudices and
distrust have been removed by the highest au-
thorities OF the political organizations, which
are inspired by q common faith and purpose,
and patriotic men Of all parties can unite for
the regeneration OF our national, state and
municipal governments. No mere political
management, however skilful, could thus have de-
fed the associations and antagonisms Of the past.
IL is the groundswe OF the long restrained deter
mination Of the people to restore all the depart
ments Of power to order economy and law.
There will be a stubborn and desperate struggle
in Pennsylvania. Every channel Of power is
controlled by those whose mal-admlnis-
tration has provoked this tidal wave that is
to destroy them. Their means are neither
few nor feeble. The honors the emoluments, the
plunder Of the national, state, and city govern
ments are In their hands, and the public posi-
tions, designed for the benefit OF the people,
will be prostituted to the uttern0st 10 deleat the
people In their battle for reform. Ihey VIII

STEPPING OUT OF THE GRANT PARTY.
Secession OF q Member OF the New York
Republican State Committee.

ELMIRA, N. Y, July 4, 1872.
Hon. A. B. CORNELL, Chairman Republican State
Committee
DEAR SIR-Four years ago the republicans OF this
district and Of the country cast their votes for Presi
dent for man who up to that time had never acted
with the republican party and who declared that "if
he was anything at all, he was democrat" They
felt that success with him was better than defeat
with some one else. Four years have passed and
they have wrought a change In the minds Of the
republicans and OF the people OF this country. An
opportunity is now offered to the republicans
to vote for 'the father Of the republican
party" and for the lifelong advocate OF
its principles, and to the people to elevate
to the highest ONCE In their gift man who has
always been honest, faithful and true In every posi-
ton In which he has yet been placed. The people
believe he has sufficient intelligence for the office
of President and that his intelligence is more valu
BILE than the experience OF the present dispenser OF
Presidential patronage. His long years OF un.
the country and his untring labors in the cause OF
popular rights have given Horace Greeley strong
hold upon the sympathes the affections and the
hearts of the people hey Know S hm IN 70 S De @ aee aan
for President at this time, as Lincoln was
twelve years ago. They believe that the
same Providence which selected , LIN;
put IL into the hearts OF the people to elect him. still
cares for the interests OF our country and the well
fare and happiness OF our people, Believing thus
majority OF the electors of this district have
resolved to vote for Mr. Greeley at the
approaching Presidential election. Not wish
S to that OF Of majority Of my republican iends IN the
district and being earnestly In favor Of the election
of Horace Greeley for President, have to request
the Republican State and Executive Committees.
Respectfully yours, ). q. TABER.

GREELEY AND BROWN.
THE NORTH AND SOUTH UNITED AGAINST


A fine band from Richmond discourses inspiring
music, and the throng swells rapidly, filing with
the yeomanry Of the country and visitors from
abroad, and with many ladies, the seats arranged
beneath the broad and leafy arches of the arbor.
THE PROMINENT SPEAKERS
present are Governor Gilbert @. Walker, OF vir.
ginia; Senator Upton, OF Nebraska; Senator Stock
ton, Of New Jersey; Senator RANSOM OF North
Carolina; Ex-Governor s. d. Vance; Colonel J. w.
Hinton, Of Norfolk, and others OF mere
local reputation. The utmost earnestness
and enthusiasm prevail and the discharge OF
ordnance gives utterance to the popular purpose
and feeling grand barbecue has been spread
beneath the trees. Whole roasted oxen ana
hogs and other edibles on a liberal scale and re.
freshments Of all kinds salute the eyes and nostrs
and the sunshine streaming over all Is auspicious
and happy. The speakers were escorted from the
Emery House to the stand prepared for them,
speaking being preceded by music and the thunder
OF cannon, and greeted by the enthusiastic and
prolonged cheers Of the multitude assembled.
OPENING THE BALL
The exercises Of the occasion are under the direc-
fion OF the Mayor OF the town. The meeting was
called to order at twelve M. by II. H. Smith, Of
Halifax, on whose motion Mr. L. s. Keener
was called to preside. Mr.. Keener, in
taking the chair, SAID that as recent
'elegate from North Carolina to the
National Democratic Convention at Baltimore
he brought good tidings. Recognizing the consti.
tuition as the bond of the Union IN peace and war,
the democratic party had discarded all old party
and sectional differences and amliations and
hs' nominated a constitutional ticket. The

entertainment Last Night,

Prof Bonham arrived in this city on Sunday
and took rooms at the Lamar House. Last
| nighthe gave his first entertainment at HoXsic':
| Hall, which was compendium of fact and
| fancy, poetry and pathos, reading and recita-
| ton, and all rendered in his inimtabe style.
| Prof BOnham is certainly a remarkable man
| and is possessed Of fund of versatility and
| talent that makes him charm all who come
with the sound of his voice.
| Mr. Bonham is one of the few men appearing
before the public who has not been overrated,
| and when we take into consideration the fiat
tering encOmiums he has received from the
press and gentlemen of influence in the various
places where he has exhibited, this will be the
more readily appreciated.
The programme last evening was excellent,
snd his rendition showed him to be indeed "a
painter of words and the photographer of
thought and feeling" This was especially true
in his reading of Betsy and l are out, that
well known poem by Will N. Carleton, which,
if he had written no other, would be sufficient
to make his name famous, and the same was
equally true in the sequel of How Betsy and
l made up"
The comic recitation of 'the young Soph-
ignores first oration'' was an admirable carica-
ture of the ''spread-eagle" style of oratory
once so popular among men of a certain class
plause The poem of the "Moneyless Man."
wherein the Difference shown to wealth was ex-
hibited in lifelike manner, was splendid.
The concluding piece, Over the falls" sur
passed all else in its vivid delineatiOn. The
wonderful power of Mr.. Bonham was nowhere
more wildly portrayed than in this and the
moral intended to be conveyed was appreciated
by the large audience who listened spell-bound
as he described the danger to which the pas
sengers in their frail bark on Niagarias torrent
were madly rushing despite the warning voice of
friends from the shore.
We might take the printed programme
throughout and swell the list, but to be appre-
ciated properly one should be there to see and
hear. The second entertainment will be given
tonight, with an entire change of programme.
Those who cannot go early in the evening can
procure reserved seats at the East Tennessee
Book House.

KNOXVILLE AND CHARLESTON RAIL
ROAD.
The Road to he COmpleted-The BrO""
Gauge and the Narrow


Col. J. J. Patterson, President of the Blue
| Ridge Railroad Company, arrived IL TINS Guy
on Sunday from Nashville, whittier he mad gone
to pay over to the State authorities the sum OF
| S102 OOO purchase money for the Knoxville
andCbarleston Railroad bought at the sale by the
| Commissioners in this city. On yesterday after
| noon, accompanied by DR.. Jas. Rodgers, Maj.
Thos. OConner, Col. Jno B. Brownlow, Judge
, Andrews, Il. n. Richards and other prominent
| gentlemen of this city, Col. Patterson visited
| MaryYille, the terminus of the road, making an
| examination Of the condition of the road6ed
and bridges the entire distance.
He is fully satisfied of the great need OF COM
pleting the road and the indications are that
vigorous steps will at be taken Tor this end
The people have been disappointed SO often IN

iect but they will be agreeably surprised to see
work commenced, and that soon, and within
twelve months the whistle OF the iron horse

be the same as that from Maryville now con-
structed and indeed its entire length if possible,
TO Anderson court house, South Carolina.
The cost is roughly estimated at be-
tween FIVE and six millions of dollars, but so
determined is Col. 2. to run the road through to
its seaboard connection that if it can be done in
no other way he will construct portion of the
line on the narrow gauge system. The corpo-
ration he represents is amply able to finish what
was SO ably designed, but which heretofore
aside from the convenience 1t has been to Knox
vile and Maryville-has been Il burden to the
people and loss to the State.
The completion of this line will open the
trade of section attainable by no other means,
and by rapid transit place the products of the
West Indies at our disposal IN all their fresh
prducts and cause q competitor between the
Charleston and Atlanta markets, which latter
has regulated our prices in the past When the
